In the quote it seems like they're just harassing the NGOs until the coastguard grabs them and presumably deports them or whatever. Doing more than that would just mean killing people by sinking their boats surely? I'm not sure you can set up a gofundme for seaborne ethnic cleansing.

It turns out you can, and they won't give a gently caress if they're getting their fee.

I just can't loving deal with these vile cunts who hate refugees somehow, even the description of that Youtube video makes me want to bite someones throat out.

PEOPLE ARE NOT DROWNING AT SEA BECAUSE OUR IMMIGRATION POLICY IS TOO LENIENT

WHEN PEOPLE FLEE DANGER YOU HELP THEM. IF YOU DONT YOU ARE A oval office. THIS HAS BEEN ENSHRINED IN EVERY CIVILISATION IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND

ROME DID NOT FALL BECAUSE IT ACCEPTED TOO MANY IMMIGRANTS WITH OPEN ARMS

Were people always this evil?....Yes I suppose so, it seems like the pretense of civilisation is slipping though.

Yeah. But keep in mind that £50,000 is next to nothing in terms of operating a vessel of any appreciable size.



That's Aquarius, the MSF rescue ship, and a former German coast guard vessel that costs $12,000 per day to operate.

It was absolutely a political speech, but I'm not sure any of it counted as new policy? The internet stuff for example was already in their manifesto. Plus suspending the campaign is completely informal - there's no legal basis behind it.

Historically they were often a lot worse. A couple hundred years back it was only the most radical religious types who were saying "hey guys maybe black people aren't livestock" and opposition to torture as an official part of the judicial process was the realm of ivory tower academics.

Literacy, broadcasting, and new forms of communications allowed us to see and understand people outside of our immediate circle and led to revolutions in human rights and mutual understanding. It's also given a pulpit for vile fuckers to present their stupid opinions about people dying at sea, but I'm certain they always existed in various forms.

Three guys burst out of a van and started stabbing people. Also, there may have been the more conventional kind of Saturday night stabbing elsewhere in London, which got people confused for a bit.

One attack. The van crashed into a crowd of people on London Bridge then drove down to Borough Market where the 3 guys got out and started attacking people.

I guess they're too afraid of backlash to start spouting off about it to UK news yet, but Farage and Katie Hopkins were both on Fox this morning arguing for Muslim internment and/or 'real action':
https://twitter.com/RawStory/status/871361880408956928

quote:

According to Farage, a growing number of Britons now supporting putting Muslims in internment camps.

“This is now the third terrorist incident that has happened in my country in the space of as many months,” he explained. “And the mood that I get now is we want some real action. We don’t just want speeches.”

“And if there is not action, the calls for internment will grow,” Farage added. “We have 3,000 people on sort of a known terrorist list. And we’re watching their actions. But a further 20,000 people who are persons of interests, namely they’re linked by some way to extremist organizations. Unless we see the public getting tough, you will see public calls for those 3,000 to be arrested.”

Farage admitted that the move “might alienate decent fair-minded Muslims.”

Later in the morning, Daily Mail columnist Katie Hopkins also told Fox & Friends that “we do need interment camps.”

I know the communications bill has been rumbling for ever, it seems. But, and I could wrong, but "we will lock up brown people up until frogs do fractions' seems new. From them, at least. Even if its not new policy (consultation lol), if I was a family member of those killed I would be furious she couldn't contain herself for 12 hours before chucking out the no campaigns out of respect position. Probably be on the phone to the Electoral commission first thing tomorrow, too.

Farage is dogwhistling like a madman there but I've read the Pilger article and I definitely have a lot of questions about why the gently caress the bomber managed to dodge arrest and how his involvement in an mi5 affiliated extremist group influenced this

if there's 3000 people walking around on a terror list, presumably under control orders, I think the government now need to say how many of them are affiliated with extremist groups funded by britain, how many of them are affiliated with extremist groups funded by countries we send arms to, and how many of them are affiliated with mi5

It's fine, we're a better country than those barbaric terrorist countries. We will not let these vile terrorists oppose our decent British values of tolerance and respect. That's why we're going to implement surveillance on everyone in Britain and start putting people in concentration camps for their religious or political views. God save the queen.
