I've not moved on. Don't know what gave you that impression. You definitely used a racial slur on here (twice). I can repost if you've forgotten about it and need to see evidence? If you're saying it wasn't you whom, in the past, suggested machine gunning asylum seekers in dinghies then that's fine. I'll take your word for it and I apologise. Do you recall who it was? The guy in Spain? Someone did.I'll be truthful. I don't watch your videos and never will. I'm just not interested. I'm not like you, I don't think we enjoy, or are interested in, the same things. But I will listen to your opinions on politics and I will agree with you, if I agree with you (which will be rare, but has happened). I can certainly state that was nothing to do with me. Apology accepted. You did say this though: Time to put put a few hundred British soldiers back on the Normandy beaches with authority to stop boats leaving by whatever force is required. Not got extreme views though, course not.

I think may have been pointed out at the time, but if we were sending soldiers to Normandy beaches, they'd effectively be on a period of extended leave given that even the most desperate migrants don't tend to set off from there to get to England.

‘ The judge said no-one had suggested Sweeney would have taken part in any violence, but "so called keyboard warriors like her, have to learn to take responsibility for their inflammatory and disgusting language".’ Wise words from a judge as he sends down some gobshite woman for posting language not too dissimilar we’ve seen on here and Marion’s in recent times. Anyone getting pulled for this kind of thing now really has no excuse. www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz6x105wgz5oDisgusting what she said? 100%. But 15 months for a 53 year old with no previous record & a primary carer for her husband? I think in this case a suspended sentence with a large fine & community service attached would have been more appropriate . I say this because I've known people who have gone down for burglary & drug dealing & got less than what she's been given, come out & gone straight back to what they were doing before prison. This woman made one stupid & vile comment on facebook, It's absolutely right she's been pulled up for it but I'm pretty sure just the ordeal of being in court & being named & shamed would have been enough to ensure this particular person never did anything like that again. On the basis of this conviction I fully expect the Labour councillor who stood up in public & announced that people should have their throats cut will be getting a similar custodial sentence? Its so easy to make a martyr out of this woman when so many think the punishment does not fit the crime. What would the outcome have been pre southport for a similar post. Yes people will be looking in interest at the sentance given to someone in favour of cutting throats and without a really long term banged up it will yet again show the two tier policing and courts at their finest.

It might be slightly excessive, but there's a difference between saying something stupid, which I agree most of us will have done, and saying things which make people live in fear. No-one should live in fear, whatever their political views, religion, gender, sexuality and so on. Again , there's a difference between robustly disagreeing or holding strong views, and posting threatening messages. And given it's social media, it obviously doesn't matter if you're a 20 year bloke or a 70 year old woman. I also agree that social media companies need to start doing more. Problem is for anyone her age she could have said the same thing once on the only platform she had, over the garden wall to a neighbour, in the pub or a political meeting only heard by a few. Some would argue with her or at worse saying you know its so and so and she,s always like that. People now have a much bigger platform therefore its the social media,s responsibility by creating it to police it more and more. Bet over the years there has been numerous posts on her that have been pulled, posters warned and eventually struck off.

You are making thing up again Martin. I thought we'd moved on from that. Please say that the video made you at least smile ....... You don't seem to understand how the board works. This is The Politics Thread. People choose to come on this one to talk about politics. It's not the only thing they're interested in, as you'll see from all the other threads. But if you've got comedy to post, feel free to start a thread for that purpose. After all the $hite that we've all been through over the past three weeks I thought a little light hearted video might help everybody. Clearly not everybody. It did make me laugh out loud to be fair.

Just trying to help you with how the place works. You can apply it or not as you see fit, of course. Hopefully we'll have fewer racists trying to ruin the country in the coming weeks and months, but I'm sure either way people would welcome humorous postings in the right place.
