Far-right activists banned from entering Britain

Sorry old thing, but no one gives a crap about your opinion of other members.

But you are incapable of admitting that a brown 7 year old girl who died of dehydration at the border is a human rights offense,

You are morally bankrupt,

He's one of those Southerners who likes to talk a lot about Jim Crow now, but kept his mouth shut at the time. Some people have to hate.

The far right “is not a working-class movement anymore”, a former neo-Nazi has said as groups capitalise on public concern over terrorism, grooming gangs and Brexit.

Nigel Bromage told The Independent that sentiments once associated with street movements like the English Defence League (EDL) are being spread to a wider audience by groups targeting middle-class students and professionals.

Mr Bromage, who mentors people as part of the government’s Prevent programme and runs a counter-extremism charity, has seen a change in the background of people seeking help in the past six months.

“This isn’t a working-class movement anymore,” he added. “We’ve seen a rise in people coming from middle-class backgrounds.

“They are well-educated, attended college or university and they’ve got involved in the right wing online mostly.

“The big thing now is that it could be anybody’s son or daughter who gets involved in this movement.”

He has recently worked with people from groups including the EDL and Britain First, but also newer organisations like pan-European white nationalists Generation Identity.

The group limits its own membership largely to 18 to 30-year-olds and conducts stickering campaigns and publicity stunts that are specifically aimed at universities.

As a recent blog on its UK site said: “Generation Identity has made a concerted effort to reach out to students through thought-provoking and eye-catching activism.”

Generation Identity’s activities, including study groups and handing food out to the homeless, are designed to expose a wide audience to its theory that white people are being “replaced” by ethnic minorities in Europe.

The group’s extreme call for a “Reconquista” of the continent is softened by its glossy propaganda, savvy social media presence and the carefully manicured appearance of its leaders.

Careful to maintain the image, members handed out leaflets telling attendees at a London protest earlier this year to be “well-groomed”, adding: “We want to present ourselves as an attractive and open youth movement.”

Mr Bromage said that while Generation Identity does not specifically advocate violence, its sanitised presentation of ethno-nationalism and calls for non-whites to be driven out of Europe “present a danger”.

“What a lot of these more populist organisations do is get people in who are angry and maybe have concerns about one issue,” he added.

“Once they’re involved they might get educated on other subjects and the next minute they’re feeling the host organisation doesn’t fulfil their beliefs, and then they move on to a more hardcore group.”

Newer groups have been drawing supporters by focusing on a single issue, such as the UK “yellow vests” on Brexit and Football Lads Alliance on terror attacks.

Another former neo-Nazi who works for Mr Bromage’s Small Steps charity said far-right extremists have “wised up to the fact they need to be more respectable”.

The man, who did not want to be named, warned at an extremism training session that groups were being emboldened by “populist politics” and exploiting public division around Brexit.

He singled out the EDL founder Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, as a key influencer through his massive Facebook following and international connections.

Far right ‘not a working-class movement anymore’ as groups prey on terror fears and Brexitl

In my experience, leftists are the only people who try to justify terrorism.

Anna Soubry, a Tory MP harangued by far-right protesters on Monday, was threatened by a man who said she should be “Jo Cox’d”. The man responsible was jailed for eight weeks.

Helen Jones, Labour MP for Warrington North, was similarly threatened. A man holding a hunting knife said to social workers: “I’m going to go there and Jo Cox her.”

A third MP, Stella Creasy, received a threatening letter saying she would “join that woman cox”. The SNP politicians Stewart Stevenson and Angus MacNeil were told to “remember what happened to Jo Cox” – the person responsible in that case was prosecuted and fined.

If Jo’s name is to become a synonym for anything, it should be for her kindness, generosity, optimism and her fundamental belief that we have more in common than that which divides us. That’s what sums her up, that captures who she was and the spirit we’ll need more than ever when the current political decisions have played out.

German far-right politician Frank Magnitz has been beaten up and severely injured in an attack seen by police as politically motivated.

The leader of Alternative for Germany (AfD) in Bremen was attacked by at least three masked men in the centre of the northern city on Monday.

The attackers knocked him unconscious with a piece of wood and kicked him in the head, AfD officials said.

The government and politicians across the spectrum condemned the attack.

What happened in Bremen?
Mr Magnitz, 66, had just left a new year reception in Bremen's Kunsthalle art museum when he was attacked in the city's Goetheplatz as he walked to a central car park.

Police said he was beaten over the head with an unknown object by three men who then fled.

Two local tradesman came to his aid and he was taken to hospital.

Speaking from hospital on Tuesday, Mr Magnitz said he had little memory of what happened.

Joint party leader Alice Weidel described the incident as an "assassination attempt" while local officials in Bremen blamed "incitement" from the centre-left SPD and Green parties.

Another party spokesman, Jörg Meuthen, tweeted a photo of Mr Magnitz lying unconscious in his hospital bed and said he had been left "half-dead".

He had a big gash on his forehead and severe bruising around his right eye.

AfD entered the national parliament (Bundestag) for the first time last year with 94 seats and now has representatives in every German state parliament.

Its anti-immigration platform has struck a chord, particularly in eastern Germany where it hopes to make gains in three state elections this year. AfD is also eyeing the May 2019 European Parliament elections.

Last week an AfD office in the eastern town of Döbeln was damaged by an explosion. No-one was hurt.

SPD leader Andrea Nahles said that AfD was a "political opponent" of Germany's tolerant society but anyone trying to fight it with violence "betrays these values and jeopardises our co-existence".

What goes around comes around, you reap what you sow.

but just pointing to the reaction of these extreme right-wing people and party.
