All this reminded me I actually met an Afghan refugee - it was in the 1990s following Soviet withdrawal and civil war and he was missing an arm. He was very polite and gave me an Afghan cook book.
I have one question, if people are so concerned about women being attacked, why aren't they campaigning to scoop up all those women being sent back to Afghanistan against their will?

I've never kept a spread sheet on mnet before, but my instinct is that it is a few loud, prolific posters spreading reform will win next election and hate while the vast majority of posts objecting are from a much greater number of people.

Im tempted to try to take a tally just to see if my thoughts on this are right.

Because they are not concerned about women (except the 25% who use them as punchbags) and are merely using this a pretext to achieve sexual satisfaction the only way they know, by being as racist as possible and believing they are getting away with it in public.

As a shop worker said, when learning of another small boats protest: "You know we always sell out of Kleenex when they are in town".

Have I missed anything ?

In other news, I've spent an hour earlier in my garden watching a spider, though others tried and failed, kill, eat and mumifiy the remains of a wasp. Spiders don't give up and I have to say I did feel sorry for the wasp who valiantly tried to escape. Nature.

Can't remember the last time I noticed Kleenex. Usually go for generic in whatever supermarket I'm in. @SerendipityJane

Money to spaff off the wall and obviously it's hot so no socks

🤢

Do you live in a Scottish cave ?

No. 😂. It was the first wasp I've seen - allergic to the sting.

Argh. I have started arguing with the racists again. Must stop. Waste of time.

Concerned citizen, remember.

He is tying himself in knots there ]

Keep away @PandoraSocks !!!

Am going to now. It does no good.

Since I recognise all the names doing it I think you are right.

The whole site is riddled with racism at the moment. Absolutely disgusting and it just isn’t being taken seriously enough.

It’s being ignored. I can’t believe some of the most blatant are still here.

MNHQ just doesn't want to see it.

This kind of stuff is on X, a post about a revolution coming to the UK

It's ludicrous, but it shows the success of the almost tidal wave of recent commentary from the political right in creating the idea of 'tinderbox' Britain. It's a well-worn tactic: conjuring up, even provoking, disorder as a pretext for taking 'tough but necessary' measures.

I am sure I have seen the reference 'tinderbox' used on MN

Its quite incredible isn't it, hold up a sign saying "I support xxx xxx" and potentially get a 14 year jail sentence.
I wont even write the name of the group.... but i will say its a disgrace a Labour govt banned them.

But stir up racial tensions, incite civil unrest and you get to draw an MPs salary, expenses and a nice pension at the end of it....

Over 500 arrests, absolute disgrace

The pictures of that frail 90 year old lady being forcibly carried by four policemen sickened me.

It's why I've left bsky because it's infected too for likes and shares.

They were pre warned but decided to throw 90 year old women under the bus.

Congratulations to Manchester United and Crystal Palace for cup wins this weekend. Obviously not on the same level as the women's football but nevertheless the men will always persist.

There's a whole section in the current Private Eye about the language in some of the press regarding immigrants and it's picked out a lot of tinderbox references.
