This isn’t a popularity contest. …… St George’s day, an opportunity to celebrate many of the wonderful and admirable things about England. Turned into barging through police lines, animal cruelty, abusive remarks and right there in the middle of it, the rightwing carpet bagging duo, convicted fraudster ‘Yaxley-Lennon’ and erstwhile rather good actor Laurence Fox.

More baseless assumptions on your part. Here’s the bit you are missing: Topics of discussion on the forum are open to anyone to comment on the basis of one single qualification, that they are members of the forum. Having corrected you in that matter. Do you have anything to say about the topic under discussion?

Clinton says Trump’s threats ‘should scare every American’
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Being afraid of your own imagination must be a terrible burden. Where ever you go, your frightening imagination is there too. You have my sympathy, it can’t be easy. -
Trump trial: Publisher says he suppressed negative news
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
There are some very strong rumors on the matter of Trump with girls and of course his attendance at parties at the Epstein residence, but I would draw the line short of making that particular claim. -
Laurence Fox puts in an appearance, something he’s not done in the world of acting since 2022. I feel that’s a shame, he was a rather good actor. Many admired his portrayal of ‘Hathaway’ in the TV series ‘Lewis’. It was indeed a good bit of acting but to my mind nowhere near as good as his portrayal of a WW2 British Fascist and Nazi sympathizer in ‘Folyes War’ - A truly inspired performance, his characterization seemed absolutely believable.

I think it’s one of those issues that enjoy broad bi-partisan agreement. -

Perhaps the Defendant thinks he’s not getting enough of attention he deserves. -
Trump criminal case: Full 12-person jury seated in Manhattan
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Meanwhile in court. Pecker testifies to his part in ‘catch and kill’ on Trump’s behalf while Trump’s lawyer humiliated himself. The hearing on Trump’s flaunting the partial gag order didn’t go well, the ruling has yet to come. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/23/trump-hush-money-trial-new-york -
Like you I don’t mix with people I know to be anti-semites. On the very few occasions someone I know has come anything remotely at all long the lines of the ‘Jews running the world’ or ‘Soros/any famous Jew” running the world etc I challenge them with reasoned arguments and an explanation were those lies come from. I’ve spent a number of years in the Middle East, on only one occasion did I hear anyone discussing the Israel/Palestine issues, they were drunks at a bar in Abu Dhabi. They were certainly sounding wound up, it I gave them a wide berth. I do not argue with drunks at bars. On the whole I think Israel / Palestine is an issue most people avoid, perhaps because of how emotive it is but maybe also because most people aren’t that interested in anything under the banner ‘politics’. I do think though online information and hate mongering is getting far more traction than is being recognized planting seeds of hatred that will grow. So an individual might frame an antisemitic view as ‘I’ve heard it said there are doubts about’ or ‘I saw a video that suggests’ etc. That to me is evidence of people’s minds being poisoned with this filth, but calling them antisemites is very likely to close the door to the discussion that’s needed to address the dangerous lies they believe. That said, I absolutely believe the people setting up websites, social media accounts and online forums to pump this filth are calculating and manipulative antisemites. Social media and search engines operators, that’s those companies making billions, have a lot to answer on this front; they are allowing their platforms to be a conduit for this hate. Likewise advertisers who enable online hate to be monetized. Those business need to be held accountable. I’m not holding my breath.

Does your misrepresentation of the protests bother me in a thread that is not about the protests? Not really, well at least not since that’s not the topic of discussion. But it’s a good attempt at a deflection. Oh and ‘grooming gangs too’. …… “Openly Jewish' man threatened with arrest by Police near pro-Palestine march”

Irrelevant nonsense. EP’s stated, and I quote: That is a blatantly false representation of what The Times article says. If EP wishes to refer to what the Times has said then he needs to do two things. 1. Faithfully quote what The Times has said. 2. Provide a link to The Times article he is referring to. What he did was use the reputation of The Times as a reliable source as a wrapper to his own pejorative opinions on the demonstrations. Disgraceful behavior and definitely in breach of the forum rules. I don’t expect him to withdraw his lie.
