Why aren’t you banning the far-right agitators?

Have you asked Jewish people if they agree with this?

There's always been a sort of wilful naivety by MNHQ about racist agitators posting. It's a cesspit at the moment on any of the threads about Southport. A disgrace. I'm surprised MN aren't more concerned about their brand and what this makes them look like.

Me too. It’s sickening.

@MNHQ why are you not taking down all threads relating to Southport?

Because they’re arseholes. I’m really ashamed of my country tonight.

There shouldn't be any threads speculating about the horrific incident in Southport. The home secretary herself, the Merseyside police, and other local officials have all asked that there be no speculation on social media. It's unhelpful, disrespectful to the families, and stirs up those who will happily weaponise the situation to push their own agendas. And yet we see exactly that on this forum.

They don't give a fuck, just their own nasty agenda.

And now this. The agitators got what they wanted. From the BBC:

Less than two hours after the Southport community met to mark a minute’s silence, just a few streets away from that vigil location the air was pierced by smoke canisters, jeers and rocks raining down on riot police.

Hundreds of protesters gathered near a local mosque attacking the front of it, throwing bricks, bottles and rocks, many with hoods up and scarves hiding their faces.

Families living nearby who had come to see what all the noise was all about feared for their safety as stones flew past and police officers rushed to put on riot gear and pick up shields.

PS, twas I not the poster you tagged.

Do some googling, or even ask some Jewish people, about the recurrent use of North London as an insult.

What are the Far left codewords? I already listed some far right ones.

Across Europe, at present, the Far Right are the bigger threat. They also seem to be omnipresent on social media.

If we were in South America we might face a range of different threats. But when we borrow ideas from the Ametican Right that socialism is extreme and ljberal ideas a threat, it becomes a bit laughable.

I've yet to see a Far Left post on MN but, in the spirit of some posters on this thread perhaps you could offer examples of dangerous Far Left lexical choices or ideas, seen on MN.

There were loads of dog whistles coming from the RW racists out in force last night. Not to mention the spreading of crazy, racist conspiracy theories and disinformation.

Disgusting people who lie, seek to cause more problems and exploit the victims of this atrocity for their own fucked up ends are scum.

You reckon?
Antisemitism comes from the far right and the far left. And from Islam too.
The far right are more honest about it, the far left dress it up in codewords and using revised tropes and dogwhistles.

The far left are far scarier than the far right, in my opinion.

100 % this.

I agree. The threads last night were the worst I have ever seen mumsnet. It was disgusting but it is something that has been creeping in more and more lately. Mumsnet really needs to get a handle on it.

This is Site Stuff where posters address their concerns directly to MNHQ. MNHQ know what racist shite they deleted because they deleted it. In at least one case the thread was deleted because of racism and hate speech, according to MNHQ.

Nobody is saying that everyone is racist or everyone is far right here. That's made up shite.

I agree!

I got put on the naughty step for three instances of troll-hunting. Surely racism is a bit more serious than that.

And it's not MNers who are posting in good faith. It's an influx of twats from other sites. You don't see them in the Litter Box or Style and Beauty. Just any thread about race, and FWR.

I second this.

My two pennyworth - can MN ban Emmacc24 who* made several *disgracefully racist comments on this thread,

'North London' is an antisemitic dog whistle as well, used by both left and right. Just because you think it's funny doesn't mean it's not true.

It’s not all bad!
At least Maduro won the election in Venezuela.
