You've didn't offer a political opinion. You presumed that everyone against war is a 'tree hugger' or a 'fucking idiot'. I pointed out the idiocy of your post.

I have had experience of the SWP donkey's years ago. A bunch of western hating, self loathers who, to a man/woman
were all from the middle class, well to do areas around the town, none were what you would call 'Working class.'
They actually don't mix with whom they purport to champion, in fact they treat them with a sanctimonious contempt,
as they know better, obviously. Needless to say the 'Workers' bit in the title was something not one of them did, it was either permanent students, or training for some sort of activists job.
Those types are still here.
Tory MP Lucy Allan – who is accused of faking a death threat from a constituent – posted a condescending video on her Facebook page yesterdayattacking constituents who had complained to her about it:

Care to expand in how you have come up with that? Not the extremism but how they are some how an equivalent.

Clandestine organisations working under the guise of other movements, trading in threats, fear and violence.Those types are still here.

Not 100% wrong but I'd like to point to the fact that the EDL/ BNP/ UKIP are one of the greatest recruitment policies for radical Muslim organisations.
How many Muslim youths have turned to one of these extremist groups for help because they're regularly abused by the Socialist Worker's Party or Stop the War?

Chicken or the egg question, we could also ask how many members of BNP/EDL feel disenfranchised, look at Tomy Robinsons bunch of knuckle draggers in Luton. Extremism breeds extremism!Not 100% wrong but I'd like to point to the fact that the EDL/ BNP/ UKIP are one of the greatest recruitment policies for radical Muslim organisations.

Pretty thin gruel that answer, they can hardly be clandestine when you know where and when meetings are. Both are on the internet and both will give you full info if you want to join.
What fear does the STW instill? People are moaning JC is too soft.

Doesn't surprise me, but what did surprise me is that Stop the War is part of the Socialist Worker's Party. A cynic would say they're using Stop the War as a means of anti capitalism protest movement rather than a peace movement that condemns all violence, aggression and war.
Someone did post a website address about veterans who speak out about conflict and war, I'll take more notice of their views in the future.
That veterans for peace I posted a couple of pages back

You could just as easily argue that the relentless march of Islam is the biggest recruitment tool for right wing extremists

You could, as many have and will continue to do. To me, that's straying too close to equating all Islam to extremism. But sure, there's some truth in it.

When did I say "everyone against war"? I'm against war for fuck sake but appreciate it some times has to happen unfortunately.
I stand by my point that the type of person who tends to be apart of Stop The War or The SWP tends to be what I described in my first post.
They give lefties a bad name.

No, no, no - your hit was entitled, 'You give LOVE a bad name,' - not LEFTIES. FFS Ban Jani it's coming to something when you can't remember your own hit records.
