Please remind me. Which side won World War II conquering racism and fascism?
This is turning into Drumpfâs wildest wet dream â wilder than his dream of boinking his kid!

Hey Brexit supporters, it really sounds better in its native language: âauslanders raus!â
I do not relish the thought, but I believe it is going to get a lot worse for Britons. I am really sorry they are going through this. This is an active learning lesson for us Americans â though the two countries are different in sizeâboth geography and populationâand we have different governing documents with their accompanying rights and responsibilities, we are still a lot alike. I believe the Brexit vote was egged on by the Murdoch-owned media. FOX Entertainment, WSJ and his other media outlets will do the same here, basically â they will have Trumpâs back. Thoroughly disgusting, but thatâs the way this is likely to play out. Our other media outlets have an opportunity to help here â stop it with the false equivalencies, dig into Trump and his familyâs business tactics and report on them ⌠and donât beat around the bush, be straight forward with the people of America and the world. When the American public is actually paying attention and being properly informedâwithout the scaremongering, false equivalencies and creating a horse race when in fact there is noneâthey can make some pleasantly surprising (informed) decisions. Seriously, come on, CNN, WaPo, LA Times, NYT, Christian Science Monitor, USA Today, Miami Herald, Dallas Morning News, ABC, CBS (yes, you!), NBC, AP, Reuters, McClatchy â all of you, please inform us!
Whatâs happening right now in the UK doesnât have to happen here. Thank you.
@beattycat BC, I hate to suggest naivete on your part, but weâve done pretty well in the xenophobia department ourselves for quite a while. Statue of Liberty declarations notwithstanding, nativism is alive and well (unfortunately) here. It would be otiose to enumerate even a recent list of incidents; we all know them, and many others that havenât achieved national notoriety.
I support your appeal to our better angels, but it is a tough row to hoe.
Hope those Trumpsters who are not old, white and male take note of this and re-think their votes. You back bigoted, racist people, you get stuff like thisâŚa pertinent warning for November.
Thank you. I know. What can I say, though â I had a few moments of wishful thinking and hope. I personally will step up if I ever witness these kinds of attacks.
As a few on my Twitter feed have noted, a âprotest voteâ is still a vote. All those who arenât, as you said, âold, white and maleâ now have to live with what they ended up agreeing to.
Things are gonna get a whole lot worse before they get better. The racists and human trash of England that voted for Brexit are going to find that turning their country into an isolated backwater isnât going to bring them any more jobs OR any less immigrants as the ones who are there are going to pretty much stay there. Quite the contrary, theyâre going to lose jobs and go into at least a mild recession.
Note: The article indicates that the intolerant acts are happening in England specifically and not Great Britain.
Spot on. Also, not voting is a vote. I know a couple of otherwise highly intelligent people who are âBernie or bustâ and still flatly refusing to consider to vote Hillary. You donât have to love a candidate â someone is going to be the winner, better make sure itâs not the lunatic.
And many in England are finding out that the big promises turned out to be foolâs gold.
A lesson for us on many, many levelsâŚ
An Eastern European family in Rugby finds dog excrement shoved through its mailbox. A Londoner nearly gets into a fight over drunken slurs shouted on a crowded subway car. A Polish teenager in Gloucestershire is taunted with threats of deportation at her high school.
So, living in Great Britain is no different than living in the United States I take it?TPM:
âIâve never, ever, ever encouraged or condoned behavior like that, and I never, ever would,â said United Kingdom Independence Party leader Nigel Farage âŚ
Bullshit.
You encouraged bigotry and hate every time you used anti-immigrant sentiment to sell Brexit. Hell, anti-immigrant bigotry was the raison dâetre of Brexit.
Of course it led to an outpouring of hate, insult, vandalism, and violence - you knew it would.
Last September, the Ukip leader announced there was a âdark sideâ to immigration and that London was suffering from a âRomanian crime waveâ.
He also suggested in an interview with the aforementioned James OâBrien that he would feel concerned if a group of Romanian migrants moved in next door. When questioned what the difference was between Romanian and German migrants, he said âYou know what the difference isâ.
He then blamed that outburst, which was criticised as a âracial slurâ, on being tired.
In an interview with LBC radio's James O'Brien, which has since been described as a "car crash", the Ukip leader referred to a recent train journey he had taken in suburban London (one of the most multicultural cities on the planet, which also welcomes over 16 million tourists a year).
"It was a stopper going out and we stopped at London Bridge, New Cross, Hither Green. It was not until we got past Grove Park that I could hear English being audibly spoken in the carriage," he said. Presumably forgetting that his German wife probably speaks German when calling her German family back in Germany, as Mr O'Brien pointed out.

"In scores of our cities and market towns, this country in a short space of time has frankly become unrecognisable," Farage told his audience in Torquay. "Whether it is the impact on local schools and hospitals, whether it is the fact in many parts of England you don't hear English spoken any more. This is not the kind of community we want to leave to our children and grandchildren."

In their haste to rachet up xenophobia, the GOP, MSM, Trump and all the merchants of American Destruction amped up the white card.
The white card places an umbrella over so many of the people that Britain is now calling âscumâ. People like Southern and Eastern Europeans, who, here, are happy to vilify those who are not âwhiteâ.
People whose ancestors were decimated by Adolf Hitler
The con always works, provided the Mein Kampf Playbook is invoked. The reason it had not worked in the United States previously may have had something to do with the fact that Rupert Murdoch was born in the 20th Century, not the 19th.
And with Trump now âpivotingâ and hiring a âcommunications directorâ, all the MSM needs to do is Follow the Playbook So so so much that people simply cannot learn and thus turn bounty into madness.
The people who will elect Trump are those who are much more determined to vote than most Democrats** and who are not prone to learning lessons.
** Democrats include too many flighty people whose counterparts in Britain ACTUALLY VOTED FOR BREXIT TO âMAKE THE (VIDEO) GAME CLOSERâ. Here, these are the people who would vote for Trump (or not vote at all)âŚcuz Bernie said Hillary is Hitler.
B-B-B-But, I thought it was about sticking it to the political elite, banksters, and multinationals.
You know, take our country back! Make us great again!
âIâve never, ever, ever encouraged or condoned behavior like that, and I never, ever wouldâŚâ Um YEAH NigelâŚyou lied to your fellow citizens, you engaged in blatant BS, you ran to the microphones the morning after the vote and SAID oh oopsâŚI didnât MEAN to lead you on but no, none of this stuff is trueâŚand you didnât SEE that racism and bigotry would rear itâs ugly head? Do you LIVE in England? Do you venture out on the STREETS? Give me a freakinâ BREAK.
Victims describe an emboldened angry fringe emerging to crow over Thursdayâs vote
Nigel Farage will make England resemble his nasty teethâŚ
I am just going to add to your point; here are some of his juiciest quotes.
In an interview with the International Business Times last month, Mr Farage said society had become too obsessed with a rise in GDP, and said: âItâs actually not very hard to do that if you have uncontrolled immigration.â Unbelievable, these people, coming over here, making our economy better.
The Ukip leader claimed on BBC Question Time in 2012 that rising house prices in London were due to âGreek moneyâ fleeing the Eurozone.
He also claimed a lack of social housing in London was because of immigrants coming from Eastern Europe and â[getting] a national insurance number easily within a fortnightâ.
In a speech to Faversham grammar school in Kent in 2012, Mr Farage said: âWe have 22 per cent of young people unemployed yet with open borders we are doing our own people out of jobs.â
âIt was a stopper going out and we stopped at London Bridge, New Cross, Hither Green. It was not until we got past Grove Park that I could hear English being audibly spoken in the carriage,â he said. Presumably forgetting that his German wife probably speaks German when calling her German family back in Germany, as Mr OâBrien pointed out.
In one of his most strident attacks on immigration, Mr Farage said parts of the country have âfrankly becomeâ unrecognizable and look âlike a foreign landâ. (He didnât say if this included the M4).
Is it really that hard to imagine that those that voted for a BREXIT are the same folks yelling at the legal immigrants? Is it hard to imagine that this man was the bullhorn for such actions?
