Why aren’t you banning the far-right agitators?

[GoldMedallist]

Deleting their posts but allowing them to keep inciting racial hatred under the same accounts is making the site unusable. Why should we keep reporting them if you’re not going to do anything meaningful about it?

That's not true.

This has happened to me too about race, and also other hate posts.

The likes of Farage and Anderson focussed on Southend rather than condemning the EDL thugs in Southport

The problem is it eventually is going to drive away all the more moderate posters and just leave the extremes. Some of what I read on here makes me feel physically ill and I am getting to the point where I think I'm part of the problem by posting.

When the community that was here is destroyed we will all suffer.

They're even on this thread.

We can all only do our best. If it threatens my peace of mind I’ll watch the Olympics or go outside and count butterflies instead.

I hope this goady thread will be removed. It is not helping anybody.
you should be ashamed OP of making political capital at such a tragic time

The report button is at your disposal.

I don't think.she should be ashamed at all. MNHQ are being run ragged with reports and deletions which rather suggests OP made a very good point.

Of course the EDL is far right, but I don't think it's the point of this thread. Do you want to reread my post? I never mentioned where the riot was (outside the mosque I believe) - I said that a knifeman was arrested round the corner from us at the vigil. I genuinely think it often doesn't matter what's said, some people just have an argument based on what they imagine their opponents might say.

So what do you mean with

The horrifying Southend riot last night was far worse but we seem to be concentrating on the one with white perpetrators.

@Alltheprettyseahorses

Excuse me? Misinformation? I was literally there last night, I stood at the vigil, I didn't know about yhe knifeman arrested so close to us and didn't even believe it at first, and I was down by Ocean Plaza when I saw smoke billowing from the direction of Lord Street and a helicopter flying round. And someone has the absolute NERVE to say 'just ignore them. Misinformation'. It's beyond a joke.

Can you provide evidence that this is true?

I'm talking about what's being shown on news channels' platforms which is what most people see. I have no idea what Farage or Anderson might be saying, I have them blocked on social media.

Can you link where you got your information from?

I think you're stretching the definition of genuine there.

What? I have not had a post deleted. My first post on this thread was at 10.52, it is still there.

A man, from Wigan, not a local , was arrested with a flick knife near the mosque. EDL immediately claimed he had a machete and was Muslim. This is not true/ unlikely to be the case.

I got my information from being there?! I can't exactly link standing looking at the smoke last night can I, or the people we were talking to on the train. I do have a lovely picture of the sun going down last night looking towards the pier if you want proof I was there. I have a receipt for my walrus pass too, I could photograph that. FFS!

But your implication that it's a Muslim comes from where??

Oh that's alright then! JFC!

I meant re the man with the knife that you were unaware of

Piggywaspushed has explained that now

Where did I say anyone was Muslim? I will say this kindly - have you confused me with another poster?

I never said it was. What is wrong is to weaponise it for stoking division. No.pun intended.

How many EDL thugs were carrying do you suppose?
