Forgive my ignorance, but who would the ones with Pali and rainbow flags be referring to as “Nazi scum”?


The ones flying the English & Union flags. It’s not all that different here. The ones with the Pali flags are calling those with American flags fascists.

Government systematically lying and withholding information

If you're referring to the scant published details of the murderer, there has been neither lying nor abnormal witholding of information. The British law on contempt of court and prejudicing a fair trial is very strict. Once an individual has been charged, the media are restricted to reporting the bare facts of name, age and home location of the accused, plus anything which is said in open court. This is the case whatever the crime and whoever the criminal, and remains the case until there's a trial and jury verdict.

This is long-established law and has nothing to do with the government.

Blaming the disorder on Starmer is an astonishing inversion of reality.

Thanks for the response. Please enlighten me some more. What has the US and England done to them to earn being called “fascists”?

Meanwhile, also from the UK...

https://www.dsma.uk/

It’s called The DSMA Notice System, the Defence and Security Media Advisory (DSMA) Committee.

Nah, that’s not scary at all.

Uh huh.

The internet is the problem, not mass immigration of the third world. It turns out, Britain doesn’t have magic dirt either. Who knew?

Nowadays, everybody who is trying to defend himself or his people/country from destructive International Leftism (or neo-bolshevism, as some prefer to call it, including myself) is a Nazi or Fascist.

Historical accuracy is not important at all, i.e. it’s a slur. Nothing more.

Anyone who uses the term „Nazi“ against a political opponent in our time can be considered 1) ethically, a scoundrel , 2) historically, a trivializer, 3) intellectually, a zero.

Fits our neo-bolshie enemies to a tee 🙂

“Once an individual has been charged, the media are restricted to reporting the bare facts of name, age and home location of the accused, plus anything which is said in open court”

OK—so if no information on ethnicity can be released how can anyone claim that somebody else is providing “misinformation” on this topic.

They can’t have it both ways.

In this case the judge at the remand hearing, who has discretion on this issue, authorised the release of further details. He was born in Wales to Rwandan parents. Apparently, like many Rwandans, a Christian (in this case Catholic) family.
