    Funny how we have nazis openly sieg heiling on the streets - unabashedly standing right in front of rows of police when they do - and yet MPs and the media are consumed with banning NHS workers from wearing small badges.

      Israelis need a perpetual threat to justify their existence.

      Its not in their interest to remove Nazis anymore.

          Ethnonationalism is a single ideology, people just happen to be born into different ethnicities. Zionists have always been allied with British antisemites, because “a homeland for the Jews” means Britain can be “a homeland for Anglo-Saxons” and vice versa.

          Violent ethnonationalism was normalized in the western world largely because of mainstream defense of Israel. If Israelis are the good guys when committing genocide to get rid of other ethnic groups where they live, why wouldn’t neo-nazis be?

          And so Labour and every institution to the right of them is promoting neo-nazism. And so you get this.

          Maybe without Israel other ethnonationalists would still be thriving, but governments would have less of an incentive to support them. There are less disruptive ways to keep the working class divided.

            Is this a piss take?

            And so Labour and every institution to the right of them is promoting neo-nazism

            You can’t honestly believe this.

        Yes, eaten up by it. Gnashing their teeth and rending at their own flesh as they blame small badges of the Palestinian flag for everything that’s wrong about the UK!

      It would help if we actually did do some smashing. We should go back to the old days where the punks used to beat the absolute daylights out of the Neo-Nazis. I’m sure that would stop them, but they get no pushback so they just keep doing it.

      We will, as long as we don’t build an actually good life for the working class.

    There were Nazi salutes and ‘White Power’ chants on the streets of Southampton

    Isn’t that just a normal day?

      No. I live near, used to work there, kids at school there. Generally a safe and relatively chill place. A bit chavvy and not particularly friendly in that Southern England way, but generally good natured.

    Surely just a coincidence that there’s a by election coming up.

    It would be darkly funny if, after a couple of weeks of Labour desperately glazing Burnham, he gets swatted aside by some bug-eyed reform Neanderthal and both Burnham and Streeting are out of jobs.

    Terrible, but darkly funny.
