If you claim to be a socialist and then believe that every northerner is a socialist and londoners are all tory, you're a cunt. A thoroughly stupid one at that.
Ben Graham is implying that Farage believes his followers are intelligent enough to know the difference between rage and cold rage. They can't even put a union flag up the right way or find a toilet on their beer swilling parades through London.
@PolitlcsUK@DCBMEP The media are trying to portray Farage as calling for riots, it's important we share the actual definition of cold rage, which is controlled & disciplined:
Translation- Farage didn't incite violence with the words "white cold rage", he incited violence with the words "pure cold rage".
Either way, he incited violence, so when is he going to be arrested?
The Travelodge in Manor House is well used by the ultra orthodox community for when their relatives come to stay.
People checking in this week were horrified to find βFree Palestineβ on the TVs of their bedrooms.
Every day, thereβs a new way to frighten Jewish people.
The beeb apologised for saying Farage told people to respond to the murder of Henry Nowak with "white cold rage" when what he actually said was "pure cold rage". So, to reiterate, he did incite violence. Waiting for his arrest...
And then, some members of the Jewish Dental Society give their opinion. π€·ββοΈ
But hey, let's ignore how many hospitals, in Gaza and Lebanon, that Israel has bombed. How many doctors and medics they've killed.
I've just been reading a report that says NHS staff should not be allowed to wear anything indicating their support for Palestine. And also should not wear uniforms to protests. In fact, showing any political allegiance should be banned.
*BRITISH WRITER PENS THE BEST DESCRIPTION OF TRUMP*
Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:
A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace β all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.
So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump's limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing β not once, ever.
I don't say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility β for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.
But with Trump, it's a fact. He doesn't even seem to understand what a joke is β his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.
And scarily, he doesn't just talk in crude, witless insults β he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It's all surface.
Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don't. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He's not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He's more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.
There are unspoken rules to this stuff β the Queensberry rules of basic decency β and he breaks them all. He punches downwards β which a gentleman should, would, could never do β and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless or female β and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority β perhaps a third β of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy' is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
β’ Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and most are.
β’ You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.
After all, it's impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws β he would make a Trump.
I'm angry that this offended him. Just because I am at home doesn't mean I have nothing to do. I'm old so have less time left to listen to his waffle. And just because I'm old and at home, doesn't mean I'm desperate for someone to talk to.
Just had a salesman knock on the door. He seemed offended that I wasn't "pleased to see" him. When he launched into his rehearsed speech, I stopped him and asked him to get to the point. This offended him even more so he stormed off.
My boss was telling me about it the next day and was quite happily saying the police gave the perpetrator a good kicking. I don't think he was pleased when I told him that wasn't their job.
Many years ago, I worked at a petrol station. It was burgled one night. Someone broke a window, climbed in, took some cigarettes and came back for more after stashing some. The police turned up and caught him in the act.
This also extends to whether a person has been accused (even with obvious evidence) of the most heinous crime. Whether we like it or not. Police are there to catch criminals, not mete out justice.
Police are meant to be impartial. They had a duty to see that Henry Nowak received medical care.
If they are at a scene, whatever a person has been accused of, the police have to make sure they receive medical care, if needed.
Chances must not be taken. Just as people are innocent until proven guilty, anyone being arrested has to be believed if they claim to be injured. There would be plenty of time to correct any mistake or subterfuge if the perpetrator survives.
