Was/is the protesting at East Wall Racist?

I can see you you're unaware of my record on immigration threads. In fact I'm pretty sure we were contributing at the same time on some so you should be well aware of my position and it's nowhere near where you're trying to put it right now. So I won't be answering your bad faith "look over there question."

This thread is about the racist far right scaldies who descended on East Wall abusing people. Plenty of soft soapers around this morning.

Careful what you hitch your wagon to pilgrim.

My stance on immigration isn't the thread topic, and you can take a look at one of the threads I was very active on if you're curious. You should know, you were also very active on the same one.

Get with the programme, the thread topic is "was the East Wall protests racist". The protest was riddled with racists and outright racism.

Anyone who's operating in denial of that has a serious cognitive problem on their hands.

This isn't the Oxford Union debating club, I'm not interested in what you think of "talking points."

My point is a basic one, anyone with eyes and ears can see the East Wall protests were brimming over with far right goons and racist sentiment. Whether some want to admit that because they've gone too far in hitching their wagon to it is another question.

It is rather fun watching the *definately not a racist* crew squirm as they try to find a position now that they've copped on the whole farrago has been coopted and astroturfed by hard right scumbags.

No it isn't racist to express concern about illegal immigration. But you witnessed an outright display of racism last night complete with hard right racists gurning like morons at East Wall.

That is racist, and you have no credibility left it you don't reconcile yourself with that.

We're not talking about racism in the abstract here, there was a literal racist display with people shouting invective and abuse at foreigners and calling them "the enemy" (go ahead and ask for a link, I'll direct you to the article on the journal where they documented it).

Wise up pilgrim, you're being played for a fool.

Its not racist to wonder why 40k this year have come across the channel into the UK from unsafe war torn France.

Illegal immigration, its effects, and the policies that come with it doesn't personally affect the Politicians who don't think long term. As long as they can make money everything is fine, they don't care what happens long term.

Once again, there was outright racism including verbal abuse and intimidation of arrivals, complete with a far right rent a mob in East Wall last night.

That's the long and short of the situation and you're talking to yourself with what you've posted above.

Nobody wants to deal with a mob of racist sh*tbags, and a good deal of the crowd at East Wall was just that.

I'd rather talk to a stray dog about immigration than those melts. They have nothing to say to anyone, let alone engage on "legitimate issues". They were there to stir sh*t and peddle hatred and you're soft soaping it.
