Britain First - Paul Golding

[agchristie]

Appears at court today but what of the charges he faces? The 'uniform' charge is bizarre to say the least. Short video in the link where Golding outlines the situation.

I wish I had a penny for every link I've seen on here to some left-wing organisation.

> When did the poppy become a symbol of remembrance of the fight against fascism.

When we had to start remembering the sacrifices of the people who fought against fascism.

> Ah, so 'News' has to fit in the parameters set by you Ellipsis.

No ChillDoubt, it's the difference between News and propaganda.

News is obviously fine as there's a category for it.

Propaganda is not fine. It could be covered by several rules, e.g. (generally - not saying that all of these apply in this instance):

* Do not post any material that is defamatory, obscene, unlawful, threatening, in breach of copyright or otherwise objectionable. Links to objectionable websites on these grounds are also prohibited. Usernames should not be offensive or obscene.

* Do not post material that discriminates on grounds of race, gender, age or religion, nor link to websites that do so.

* Users attempting to spam or "troll" the website will have their account terminated.

* The AnswerBank is a general knowledge exchange and is not to be used to market, sell or promote any product, service, project or organisation.

* Any instances of unsolicited advertising or marketing will be removed, along with the users’ account.

Ellipsis

This feels like a personal crusade, almost a form of AB vigilanteism making allegations against me of publicity drives, propaganda, links to BF. You seem to have presumed that I am guilty.

> It does not commemorate especially those who died fighting fascism.

I didn't say "especially". It does commemorate those who died fighting fascism though, doesn't it? For example, those who died during WWII, which was most definitely a fight against fascism.

The way this thread is heading it's in danger if getting pulled and that would be a shame. But it is getting unpleasant and edging into bullying and that's not on.
AG I only ever had two threads go over the 200 mark and both deteriorated so badly they both got pulled. I hope that doesn't happen here.

It wont end on my account, I will proceed for as long as people want to join in. I have had to bite my tongue and just about succeeding. I have taken a lot of provocation but hey ho

[agchristie]

DB

Correct again.

[agchristie]

Naomi

Thank you. I also have to go but will return later.

[ladybirder]

You've held it together very well ag in my opinion.

For myself, I shall have to keep my ears and eyes open and follow BF's activities for a while and see what I make of them. I had never heard of Paul Golding until I saw this thread, so I have found it very interesting.

Thank you again. Contrary to what some may believe, I did not post this question to promote BF. People like yourself are perfectly capable to do whatever research they want to find out about anything.

This thread surprised me with not just the attention but the different issues that have come up and I am glad you have found it interesting and I hope enlightening.

BF are standing for the Rochester and Strood by-election on the 20th on one issue, the building of a mosque. It says much of the opposers that candidate Jayda Fransen has been threatened with petrol bombing next weekend.

I have commented that UKIP will take this seat comfortably with Mark Reckless of course standing for them.

I am grateful that the thread has continued and that the mods/Ed have recognised that this discussion is not about racism/fascism or indeed propaganda on my part.

I'd agree agchristie, I'm not bothered about your political affilliation but it's exhibition standard clickbait for BF

[vetuste_ennemi]

What the witchhunters lack in all the obvious ways they more than make up for in spite, Ag. A very good night.

Thanks, I could easily have awarded you BA the other day, it was close. Sadly, nobody chose to reply directly to the post on the Islamic question.

Good night to you!

[vetuste_ennemi]

I should have said "MOST of the witchhunters".

Im hoping Naomi will come back soon and look at the question you posed being one of the religious scholars.
