Checking in as this has been an incredibly depressing week in the UK and on mumsnet. The exposure of blatant racism that was lying just below the surface is horrific. I’ve stopped clicking on the threads now. They all go the same way with particular individuals fanning the flames. Trying to be hopeful, but it’s not my best quality.
Loving the cat pics.

I have ventured onto the civil unrest thread. The nonsense that is being sorsadyis frightening. I'm staying here for a while.

*spread is frightening " WTF was that typo😂😂

BIossomtoes · 02/08/2024 08:22

I had a look at it too and ran away. I wonder if anyone’s reported it?

Evenstar · 02/08/2024 08:22

I think that Times article makes clear that these are very dangerous people, interesting that one of them uses a Telegram social media account that is usually more associated with Russia I believe. Thanks for sharing @RobinStrike

I think we should be careful who we are engaging with on here, for our own safety, they may not be who they seem. I fear @CassieMaddox is correct that these are not disaffected Tories it feels more organised than that.

Sure is. And just about the only one where you can guarantee you won’t be insulted.

Except by visitors.

Lord Hanson(Home Office Minister):

"Conspiracy to organise a riot is an offence."

5 years, the Stop Oil people got, didn't they?

Now Musk is endorsing Tommy Robinson.

NB: this platform is one of the channels in which he is breaching the High Court injunction he is currently running away from

This is extraordinary. According to Farage “The far right are a reaction to fear, to discomfort, to unease…”. Farage has gone full far-right apologist. Like his justification of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, his mask has slipped & the public are starting to see who he is.

Interesting that the article indicates hard line right was annoyed that they didn't utilise the attack on the army officer in Kent effectively. It was mentioned a number of times on MN yesterday.

They've been waiting for an opportunity to provoke violence.

Absolutely disgusted to read that they responded to updates on attacks on police with heart emojis.

ilovesooty · 02/08/2024 08:37

But according to some posters, Farage isn't a racist, dontchaknow... 🙄

In other political news, Jenrick is launching his Tory leadership campaign today.

All I can tell you that my extremely hum drum community WhatsApp exploded with very clear racism, and when that person was challenged then they claimed to be an immigrant themselves. Albeit white. I do not think people have really clocked the extent of it, and presumably this kind of testing is everywhere. My community forums are full of Ai generated sleepy lions and angelic blond knights.

DuncinToffee · 02/08/2024 08:44

I have shard that article on the Site Stuff thread @RobinStrike , thank you

Next Door was already a cesspit but it's got worse this week.

DuncinToffee · 02/08/2024 08:50

I have had comments like 'oh but we don't mean you' when confronting people going on about immigration or foreigners

When DH has a customer who moans about immigrants he plays a little game with them. He tells them his youngest son is an immigrants. They makes all sorts of assumptions like born abroad (aka not really an immigrant) or that he's a step son. They never guess that he doesn't live in the UK.

DuncinToffee · 02/08/2024 08:58

Something very funny 😂

Where are they all now? I don't think I ever taught any Cunts in all my long years of teaching 😂

Oh. He's hopped over the line into Full Fascist mode then.

Fucking loathe the man. I hope the parliamentary standards commission are investigating him.
