UKIP's protest against Theresa May's Brexit deal included someone taking a noose through the streets of London claiming it was for the PM and someone with a banner which made a sickening reference to Jo Cox. There's no doubt that UKIP are now a organised group of Nazis and Farage and Nuttall left because they're gone too far to the right even for people who made their names as being right wing politicians.

Sure, some of Tommy Robinson's methods are rather questionable but then there is the matter of what he has brought to light, especially in terms of a group of people that self-segregate by religion. Tommy Robinson's campaign has been against radical Islam and also crimes where the perpetrators happen to be Muslims or from a muslim background more often than would be expected.

The establishment's reaction has looked more like they are scared of what he has to say than attempting to rebut the content. That is doubly so since the so-called prophet and de facto founder of Islam is recorded (in texts with equivalent providence and reliability to Islamic scripture) as having had multiple wives, one of whom (Aisha) was reportedly very young (to the extent of Muhammad being a serious sex offender today) at the time of consummation.

It’s not appropriate or good intellectual practice to hold historical figures to contemporary standards.

Apparently (and when I've got more time I'll find the link), TR got out his phone and tried to join UKIP online, and encouraged others to do the same.
Unfortunately for him, his bank details were not accepted...

I believe before Great War, in Europe many families the girls who married at 15 or 14 were normal.

And yet the person who founded the Anglican church (by accident) thought it was acceptable to execute his wife and then marry a new one, all because she gave birth to a girl when the gender of a baby is dependent on the father's sperm.

True.

In the thirteenth century in England, the minimum age to marry was 12 so I suspect that most of those who believe they are of Anglo-Saxon stock (which includes myself) are probably related to a 'sex offender' in the dim and distant past.

Different times.

UKIP aren't national socialists, that's the SNP.

At least one senior figure (Arthur Donaldson, SNP leader in the 1960s) was detained over supposed Nazi links during WW2.

Then there is the blend of socialist policies along with a functional autocracy and nationalism that make the SNP a national socialist party.

He brought nothing to light, by his own defence, he said what he was reporting on was already in the public domain.
He is, however, a racist hypocrite, happy to stand outside trials of 'brown' people, but deaf and blind to the similar crimes of his white breathren.
He's a w****r and in the annals of history, will be forgotten, he's had his 5 minutes of fame, time he slunk back into the streets of Luton that he already pollutes, a stain on humanity
