Britain First

[sp1814]

Do you think that this is intimidating, or a justified form of protest?

It's a form of stupidity.

Mohammed may be a false prophet but Allah is not a false god, just the Arabic name for God.

What a frightful woman this Jayda Fransen is !

I haven't heard of this harridan before, and I hope I don't again in the near future.

[Bathsheba]

Lost interest when that shouty woman kept saying Allah was Satan.

I hope that the slaughterhouse proprietors have made a formal complaint to the Police, as it appears that a number of offences were committed by these fascists.

[Mamyalynne]

How ridiculous was that!

[mikey4444]

Fransen is the granddaughter of immigrants from Holland, exactly the sort of thing that Britain First is trying to stop.

By the way Dougie....your avatar has nice hair as well, but I know which I would rather not meet on a dark night.

Wow ... why ever not? after all it was you that introduced me to Britain First. I gather you had done a bit of research, I guess I was wrong.

Not a justified form of protest imo.

I understand the disquiet regarding Halal slaughter and a belief that it is wrong, mainly because there is no compulsion to stun; but her argument is all over the place. She has made errors in her indignation and so made a fool of herself. The problem is that someone full of anger and emotion has been put into a position of spokeswoman when the role needs someone of intellectual ability who will check what they are claiming is all factual. Offerings to Satan or whatever that rant was. Can only please the already converted.

Talbot....I am reasonably familiar with Paul Golding, the current head of Britain First but try not to think of this odious organization too much, thus Franzen slipped under the wire. And we both agree, I think, that this invasion of a perfectly legitimate business wasn't justified.

But herein lies a mystery. BF counts as one of its various self-appointed duties, the "defence" of Jewish areas of London. As I understand it, Jewish and Muslim slaughterhouses employ very similar methods in dispatching animals.

So if BF were so concerned for the welfare of animals in slaughterhouses, they would also be protesting at Jewish places, but for some reason or other, they choose to restrict their violent protests to Muslim ones exclusively !

Now thats a funny thing, isn't it ?

[Bathsheba]

Fair point well made Mikey, or whatever the phrase is.....;)

Calling anti semitism a storm in a tea cup is a funny thing also ... wouldn't you agree?

[mikey4444]

Thanks Baths....I do try my best !

[sp1814]

The Satan remark confused the hell out of me too.

My understanding with halal meat is the animal has to be alive when the throat is cut, and so they're stunned into unconsciousness, and then killed.

Isn't that the way abattoirs work?

[mikey4444]

Talbot...it appears that you have misunderstood my view on anti-semitism and the Labour Party, which may, in part, be due to me not making my position abundantly clear.

Anti-semitism is always to be abhorred, as any other time type of racism is, by anybody, at any time.

My comments about a storm, ( in a medium-sized ) tea cup was directed at the media frenzy over this recent issue for the Labour Party. While there has been, without doubt, some elements of anti-semitism, by a few Party Members, there is still no evidence that anti-semitism is institutional within the Party.

All Parties have their rogue elements and loose cannons.

OG ...well said at 17:22, and a well-deserved BA.

Baths....I must remember "shouty woman"......I may steal that from you for use in the future !

[agchristie]

Do you remember Nick Robinson was 'tricked' into a photo with Ms Fransen on election night when BF presented her as their candidate for the Rochester/Strood seat? Good old Nick thought she was just working on the count!

[mikey4444]

There isn't much support for BF. or Ms Fransen here on AB, but even saying that, she doesn't seem like a very nice person does she ?

A shouty harridan indeed !

[jourdain2]

I oppose halal and kosher slaughter practices - strongly. This seems to have been an extremely ill-advised and emotionally illiterate event, however, which has probably put the rational side back some way.
