I started a thread about the Southport tragedy and subsequent riots but things have progressed now and the right wing thuggery needs to be called out here instead.

It is despicable how these thugs are using the tragedy for their own nefarious purposes. Yet I am seeing people on Faceache trying to justify their actions as patriotic and even necessary because "Muslims are taking over the country" or we have a "2 tier police system which favours immigrants". I have even seen an erstwhile poster on here (long since banned) saying that the vile Yaxley-Lennon is right and proves that the government are hiding things from us.

WTF has happened to people? Where has common sense and decency gone? Rhetorical of course as I know that the vast majority of people fully understand that the right wing shite is just that - right wing shite.

Trouble is that while the nicotoned stained man-toad, Farage, and his cronies are given the facade of respectability, we are going to see more of this. Maybe it is a good thing that Reform UK is supporting the "protesters". As long as they do there is a chance that they will be classed as a terrorist organisation and banned from holding office. We can but hope.
