What a brave lady.

Whilst I am not an ardent Labour supporter, I completely support you and how you have stood up to the bullying, racism, violence and hatred sent your way.

Sad that your family could not be there to see your victory but under the circumstances you made the right choice.

That this country is allowing this type of intimidation and behaviour - we should be ashamed of ourselves.

And I think same re those British who move abroad and don’t integrate - they should integrate into the culture of the country they move too. Especially regarding the learning of the language. There’s no excuse that there are people who have lived here for several years or more who still can’t speak English, but then are so self entitled to demand translators. What the British do when they move to other countries are for that country to address. Likewise when it happens here, we need to address it.

100% feel the same way.

These men are more far right than hard left.

You realise it's possible to condemn both? Plus I think you're going to have a hard time coming up with examples of radicalised Brits deciding to cut people's heads off in France or intimidating Spanish girls on the street.

Well exactly. So why are they being applauded and welcomed with open arms into the Workers Party and the Green Party, and why is Jeremy Corbyn standing shoulder to shoulder with them and calling them his ' comrades'? Hamas and Hezbollah are as far Right as they come. Don't believe in women's rights or rights for gay people, hate Jews, think they are a master race that should dominate the world, so just why are they the darlings of the Left? It's the horseshoe theory in action.

Ah fantastic news then, its totally OK to subvert the culture of other countries as long as it's not through violence. Honestly, for some brits there's no limit to the extent of their own moral superiority.

Nobody is claiming that subverting other countries' cultures is OK, and it would not be right to claim that British people are immune or that they have (historically or currently) intrinsic moral superiority. But subverting through violence is effectively terrorism and a whole different order of evil. I don't think whataboutery is helpful here at all.

ok. Apologies.
I don’t think that was her point though.

Regardless of how many, nobody sane would put the interests of another country above the one they actually lived in unless they had some serious antipathy. These men were awful, and not keen to see Gaza become a domestic issue. People may fell strongly. That does not mean they get to harass people or scare them. Well done Jess Philips.

Misanthropic? No, very few.
Misandrist, maybe a few more.

So disappointing when posts are deleted before you can reply to them!

From memory you didn't miss much @CurlewKate!

@BIWI 🤣

Also Jody McIntyre seems to have set himself up as an 'MP'- his twitter says he's the MP and that he's starting a 'constituency' office up to take 'casework' (which presumably he'll get zero traction with, not being an actual MP).

But that's creepy as fuck. What an awful man.

That's what Trump tried. He had letter heads printed and all.

Does Mr, McIntyre have a posse of similarly dressed/uniformed goons going around intimidating people ? That's the next step (reads manual) and then use of symbols to indicate membership (continues reading) which leads to public disorder where the fascist contender offers to "restore order" with their "associates".

Yes, I am a time traveller. But I come not from the future, but the past.

We can add delusional to the list of reasons he shouldn’t be allowed to stand for public office.

Maybe he could mobfund a film : "Passport to Yardley" ?

It’s notable that one of the campaign team who unseated Jonathan Ashworth as part of the election has just been charged with a terrorism offence.

I think it's clear you aren't a Labour supporter.

Well there you are. People need to have a lot more skepticism about motivation. I would always be careful about a religious group setting up politically or a group using religion as the basis of their politics. Very divisive
