THEY ARE ALL THUGS FOLLOWING EACH OTHER LIKE SHEEP. THE FAR-RIGHT SAYS DO THIS, AND THEY ACT. GET EDUCATED.

Yes the Pro Palestine flag wavers are like a flock of sheep.

What I find terrifying is people who think their views are right and anyone else who thinks differently is wrong.

Farage and Yaxley-Lennon, as examples?

The right is a non homogeneous group whose views should be respected. (within reason) The far right is made up of mostly prescribed groups because they threaten the laws of our country and often support terrorist actions. We should stop pandering to the far right and letting them think their opinions are valid and equal.

This.

I’m centrist and would say that it’s the Lefties that are FAR more insulting, calling everyone who queries immigration levels as a Racist.

They say that it’s possible to have a “reasoned” discussion about immigration, but bat down any suggestions that it’s at too high a level with the R word.

I just think it’s going to all go horribly wrong… the UK will struggle in terms of infrastructure and integration and the thugs will become emboldened.

FWIW I think that 20 years ago, Britain was a far nicer and more culturally cohesive and accepting place to live in.

'Get educated'... Oh dear the irony, ok..🙄

Ermmm OK. I'm going to bet that the OP doesn't come back!

We can but hope they don't.

they can go shout elsewhere.

But many people on the right see these two for who they are and reject them. Other right wingers perhaps aren't so bright and won't be able to see through their spiel.

Digdongdoo · 06/09/2025 12:09

Well that's extremism for you. Not a phenomenon exclusive to the right. Some people are thoughtless idiots. Twas ever thus.
Current climate scares me though.

I would concentrate on why Labour are doing so badly and lobby them to improve, rather than just blame other threads on MN. If Labour were doing great then we wouldn't need a "Labour aren't working" thread would we?
Fix thine own house etc

Think you are misunderstanding what I am saying here. It isn't really a thread to discuss the government - in fact the first couple of posts on the latest thread ask for people who don't hold the same views to stay away. Many angry posts, disinformation. people who dare to share a different view being shouted down..many of the same individuals posting over and over again..do these people not have lives, why do they constantly post on MN?

QueenOfHiraeth · 06/09/2025 08:29

One could say the same of people who post ignorant comments suggesting people who have a different opinion to them are part of some giant homogeneous group.
Education is needed by some on both sides of whatever debate it is you think you are having here

👏👏👏

This is a public forum. You can't dictate who posts on a thread.

Unlike the Labour shrills on the Starmer threads or on here then?

Who are they then?

DBSFstupid · 06/09/2025 12:17

mumofoneAloneandwell · 06/09/2025 08:34

Yanbu

Its terrifying

Whats also terrifying is the loudness of these far right psychos on mumsnet, thinking that their views are anything but insane 🤢🤢

😂

Who are the shrils on the Labour isn't working thread?

Piggywaspushed · 06/09/2025 12:20

I'm just going to shout something for a second, begging everyone's pardon.

it's SHILLS.

That's better.

Shakeoffyourchains · 06/09/2025 12:20

One thing I don’t really get is what the right-wing are actually expecting to happen?

Labour have already committed to ending the use of hotels and HMOs for asylum seekers, reopened dialogue with Europe on migration and are trialling schemes which may or may not work, pledged to invest in border security and started making changes to existing legislation. In just a year they’ve made asylum processing more efficient, deportations are up and net migration has halved.

But then it’s easy to ignore reality when the main media outlets in this country spend every waking moment telling us how awful everything is and how the only solution is to hand over more of our rights to a man in the pocket of the billionaire robber barons.

It feels like a lot of people on the right just want every asylum seeker, or anyone with brown skin, rounded up and thrown out of the country tomorrow tbh.

100% this. They're so tedious, and most have ZERO connection to Palestine. And the hatred for Israel from some is fierce.

Hiding the thread, NOW.

On the Starmer thread you referenced.

Oh I know but PP said "shrills" and I was quoting them. "Shill" is troll hunting which I'm sure PP didn't mean to do ie TAAT and troll hunting. I'm sure they are bigger than that

Yes. And if you think someone is a shill you report it. It's against the talk guidelines to refer to other posters (of any political persuasion) as shills which is, of course, why I know @twistyizzy isn't going to answer my question. She will be well aware that she can probably get away with referring to posters on another thread as shills, but would be breaking the guidelines if she named them.

drivinmecrazy · 06/09/2025 12:31

ive been accused of being a ‘leftie c**t’ and told my opinions are irrelevant because I’m obviously AI on my local FB group.
their language is absolutely vile to anyone who doesn’t want to go to protest outside a closed council office on a Saturday afternoon.

Crazy!

quite willing to listen to debate and discuss.
but in my experience it just will not happen.

it’s obvious the far right have weaponised a group of society.

sad because a debate needs to happen but the numpties have sullied the water for most left and right thinking people.

So you admit you were goading me then? Which is also against MN rules?

I've been called a Tory twat and my child a cunt by Leftie posters on MN.
So we are equal
