The same ones who threw things at horses and injured policemen the other day I suspect

I don't think men like this struggle to find girlfriends and wives.
Lots of women live with violent, abusive men. Lots of people are quick to slag off unmarried or single women. Women get slated for having FWB or several boyfriends or going it alone. Or daring to have a child whilst not wanting to live with the father. Or trying to make it alone or be successful.
Is it really such a surprise that some women marry these men? Perhaps some of them are relieved the man is out of the house, taking his anger and frustration out elsewhere rather than in the home.
Focus on the type of father who raises a son like this, that is what we should be doing.

I haven't read that one. Do you have a link?

Wow, you're trying to make straight white men's racism their wives fault? That's a bit of a stretch. Is it so hard to hold men accountable for their behaviour?

Have they arrested the people who defaced the cenotaph, Churchill's statue, burned the flag, etc?

Lordfrontpaw · 14/06/2020 13:38

I think they identified the correct flag burner (after the wrong person was splashed over social media apparently). The pisser turned themself in.

My mum married a racist. I think partly because she was very young and partly because his racism didnt seem so out of place back then (this was the 1960s) and she probably had quite a lot of prejudices herself.

The difference was that she grew out of her views and he grew more into his. He was an inadequate little man who needed to look down on other people to feel good about himself. Apparently looking down on women wasn't ego enhancing enough so he needed men to look down on too.

Devlesko · 14/06/2020 14:59

I'm going to start a movement for Romany, we've had far worst racism, and for far longer, but it seems to be accepted by society.
Such hypocrites, protesting against racism, yet upholding it in your own communities.
Want to stop racism look at the real outcasts GRT across the world, and of course the UK too.

Julie toffee horse Brewer or whatever shes called has been trying to excuse the pissing guy on twitter

Clavinova · 14/06/2020 17:06

They'd clearly gone out for beer and a fight.
Agreed.

Julie toffee horse Brewer

Just found talkRADIO's twitter - unfortunately they are showing very clear footage of a white man being punched and kicked to the ground by BLM activists.The man looks as though he might be a troublemaker himself but he is clearly outnumbered and the attack is vicious;

"This man was taken to hospital with injuries after Black Lives Matter activists set upon him outside Waterloo station today."

Jeremy Corbyn's nutty brother is on the twitter feed as well;

"Jeremy Corbyn's brother Piers calls for unity against "the BBC, Boris Johnson and Sadiq Khan" and a "summer of discontent."

That's all we need.

Zoejj77 · 14/06/2020 17:29

Whoever they are I feel sorry for them

Oscarsdaddy · 14/06/2020 17:33

Ones that probably take a beating on a regular basis but live with it because ‘it’s just what he’s like, he loves me really’

Neanderthal thugs!

cavalier · 14/06/2020 17:42

A real catch aren’t they 😖😬

Forgottenwhatsleepis · 14/06/2020 18:00

@fudgebrownie2019 you beat me to it 😂😂😂

Forgottenwhatsleepis · 14/06/2020 18:01

Ps not mine either, mine was at home having the same opinion on the matter as me

tigerlilly22 · 14/06/2020 18:14

Women who share the same views I imagine. I'd have been off at the first sign of any racism or homophobia etc...

Lordfrontpaw · 14/06/2020 18:18

I remember reading an article about a man who was a member of a racist right wing group (bnp or edl). His wife used to make the sandwiches for their little meetings. He was asked to leave because his wife was Thai. He was confused.

Single digit iq.

As far as I am aware, the Cenotaph hasn’t been vandalised.

‘Happy’ to stand corrected

Lordfrontpaw · 14/06/2020 18:25

It was spray painted (cleaned off as the people scrubbing were berated by a hobby woman who recorded it in the hope of harming them - but ended up getting outed as someone who worked of a services charity) and someone tried to set fire to one of the flags. This was last week/or the week before.

Aridane · 14/06/2020 18:33

There was no flag burning - it has been fact checked and Reaters, police etc have confirmed it did not happen 😮

(thoughsome 2010 Cenotaph flag burning photos have been republished)

Lordfrontpaw · 14/06/2020 18:34

I think someone tried or went to try - it didn’t happen.

Rabblemum · 14/06/2020 18:41

I was good mates with a racist and I agree, she ran a clean house, her kids were well turned out, and had a nice car. She asked me to show her how to use Twitter, I did then she started a BNP account, we fell out. Oh she was an alcoholic too, she hid it pretty well. I think women are better than men at hiding their dark side.

Rabblemum · 14/06/2020 18:46

I wonder i it’s fear of anything different that drives these people
