'Retweeting Britain First was the wrong thing to do'

[Nathreim]

How exactly is tweeting a video showing Muslim acts of violence anti-Muslim exactly?

[ro9ue]

Yeah Trump is a bit unhinged. Like he doesn't even have a smidge of self-awareness at all.

He's either lacking social acumen or is literally the most powerful internet troll on planet earth.

Because they’re not Muslim acts of violence

Because they weren't Muslim...

It's like posting a video of a Christian punching a man and saying "See! Jews are awful"

It's neo-nazi propaganda

[rayvio]

Personally? I'd love to see the 'outraged' politicians across the UK devote more time and energy to being outraged at the state of certain aspects of the country instead of trying to score cheap political points bashing Trump.

but that would be dangerously close to doing their actual jobs and no politician would ever be caught doing that

How do we know they were not Muslim? The link says the religions of the people in the video are unknown not that they were not Muslim.

because, unlike you they put in the minimum effort to prove it.

Much more in the link but shouldn't Trump have his verified status removed from Twitter if they're cracking down on such views Tweeting

an account set up to quote trump tweets (to make sure non are lost for future record) has been threatened by twitter over breaches of its tos.....wonder if trumps account gets the same as the content is 100% identical.

LOL It's definitely interesting, makes you wonder what his plan really is.

Trump seems to continually be trying to paint the UK as some dystopia over ridden with terrorists and Islamic violence.

What's more interesting is that he'll share random unverified Britain First posts, but he's not mentioned things like all the Muslim peadophile rings which you'd think would get more of a reaction.

It seems rather petty for people to be calling for Trump to be barred from visiting the UK. Strong diplomatic ties between the UK and the US are incredibly important - and both countries are very similar in many ways. Neither Trump or Theresa May are going to be in power forever and the people throwing a fit would do well to remember that. There's a considerable number of Americans living in the UK and a lot of British people living in the US. Many visit each other and keep in touch frequently. Ruining that would be bad.

Oh massively. There's also a rank hypocrisy on who they're happy to have in the UK. People call to have him blocked because of the "Muslim ban" but we'll happily entertain Politicians from countries that ban all people with Israeli passports.

You even have Corbyn calling for Trump to be banned from the UK, and he's previously invited his "friends" from Hezbollah, Hamas and the IRA to parliament.

That's what irritates me the most about all this. I want some consistency - which, I suppose, is too much to hope for from the vast majority of politicians. Since many of them were fawning over the likes of Jimmy Saville not too long ago, though, I don't have much faith in their judge of character. It's very telling that they're so eager to attack Trump (which isn't entirely unjustified at times) yet there's hardly a peep out of them where certain other problematic individuals are concerned.

In the minds of Britain's First and people like them, anything less than kicking/banning Muslims from the UK is ignoring the issue.

I'm not sure how you would reverse the negative demographic trend in Britain otherwise?

Remember guys if you have a blue tick hate speech against men isn't hate speech.

[Dhrizzle]

Britain already decided to say fuck you to the migrants with Brexit. The politicians are fooling themselves if they think they have the mandate of their communities to embrace them. The European people are starting to get upset and rightfully so.

Y'know leaving the EU excludes migrants from EU countries, to make up the shortfall we'll need immigrants from elsewhere which probably.means a higher proportion of Muslims.

Well Twitter are obviously hypocrits

The negative demographic trend being what exactly? We're not exactly overrun.

[Kraenen]

The negative demographic trend being what exactly? We're not exactly overrun.

The trend is towards less English people and more from outside England, and from outside Europe. The expected long term trend is towards minority status in their homeland. This is a demographic crisis.

Banning/kicking out Muslims isn't going to solve that.

[ohwell]

considering he's retweeted neo nazi info graphics in the past, this is not the least bit surprising.

all religions should be controlled, america would be better off without them.

Not happening so you might as well give up on that notion. I also believe that religion is holding us back as a society, but the best thing to do is let society outgrow it all (which we are).

Try to control religion and you only strengthen its resolve.
