UK far right trouble

What did you do with your kid at weekend?
I took him to watch people set fire to a hotel.

In Ireland recently people hear reports of immigrants pestering young white girls, and sexually attacking them - so the parents become concerned.

What then could happen is a discussion to make sure the concerns of these parents are addressed. Lets say you disagree with their concerns - then still address it, but in a non patronising way.

What actually happens is people who aren't racist get called racist. Then someone like Tommy Robinson comes along as says I agree with you. Unfortunately, the more he does that the greater his influence.

To be fair, the Catholic Church in Ireland has been doing that to girls and boys for years with impunity.

By and large the State and parents were remarkably unconcerned.
 
I like this post because its thoughtful and balanced. But isn't incorporating vague feelings into a manifesto precisely what the Brexit vote was? For all the absolute shit that's happening on my side of the pond, opening up the potential for a radically, structurally different economic system with decades of forward consequences to a public yes/no vote based on a 15-word sentence bewilders me more than the percentage of Americans who support Donald Trump.

Yes you could make that argument. The whole problem with Brexit is that we’re not really a democracy set up for having referenda (like say, Switzerland). We don’t have mechanisms in place to build policy in that way. That led to the whole vote being shrouded in vagueness and abstract reasoning. There was no minimum standard set for that dialogue in terms of factualness and even the precision of the question on the ballot.

It’s the perfect demonstration of why we can’t let the politics of feelings win over robust policy platforms.
 
The country should ban X/Twitter.

Musk has turned it into an alt right cess pit.

My dad gets taken in by it all which is sad to see.

No point without stopping Facebook also. And possibly others too.

The best thing they could do with social media (which won't happen) would be to force users to register with ID and their real name, so that everything they do can be tracked back to them. It might make people a bit more responsible and also get rid of all the bots pushing agendas.
 
The hotel in Rotherham that a crowd set fire too recently has had local residents complaining about adult men approaching their children. Surely this is a cause for concern?
A hotel being set fire to with people in it? Yes, that certainly is a cause for concern.
