Don't you agree that right wing terrorism exists and deserves attention? For such an avid chronicler of current events, I'm surprised at your lack of enthusiasm for this thread.

Thread isn't about other members, but it's now on the verge of becoming messy. If anyone wants to talk about others, including me, then take it to PM's?

Islamist terrorist attacks in the UK since 2000 where people have died:

Far Right terrorist attacks in the UK since 2000 where people have died:
2013 Pavlo Lapshyn fatally stabbed Mohammed Saleem. Dead: 1
2016 Jo Cox shot. Dead: 1
2017 Finsbury Park attack. Dead: 1
Total dead: 3

Every life matters, Livia.

There's been plenty of coverage of the Islamist terrorism here, I don't get it why we shouldn't debate right wing terrorism alongside that.

Jo Cox :(

I can remember that day well. I came back home and cried. Jo Cox was an amazing MP who sadly I didn't get to know personally but she was destined for greatness.

Also, I'd include all of the Western Europe and the US, not just UK. These things are often related.

Nowhere have I ever said it doesn't.

I'm demonstrating why one set of terrorists don't get the press other sets of terrorists get. They're all arseholes, every one of them.

Well you're free to look into that.

Thank you, I appreciate you blessing. :hug:

After all, anti-semitism for example cuts across the political spectrum.
It was the Charlottesville mob who chanted "Jews will not replace us".
Far right ideology often lapses into nazism. It deffo deserves our attention.

I am debating it. The thing is, and I'm sure I'm not alone, feel like I am backing the old Right Wingers team from some of the replies I get and it couldn't be further from the truth.

Terrorism is terrorism wherever it comes from, it's equally as bad from all angles and should be stamped out on all grounds

Its like asking why womens rugby does not get the media coverage that mens gets and moaning about why are there no womens rugby threads

Indeed and thanks mainly to the USA ISIS has been wiped out and defeated

So well done to the USA

Except you're posting in a women's rugby thread.

I try to support all member threads, however niche

You think I don't know all that? Do you think I haven't been on the receiving end of some rather nasty Right wing thinking? Both directly and indirectly. I'm surprised you have to explain it to me.

Why isn't Right wing extremism given the same attention as Islamists?

Because they don't kill as many people at the moment, thank God. But individually they're equally as dangerous.

Very nic(h)e of you.

:hee:

i seem to remember there being a thread or 2 when the labour mp was murdered. We see threads for loads of vile crime. If its in the news its here

And the Finsbury Park attack, that was discussed.

Reading the first line of the opening post, I don't think getting a good debate going was the real purpose of this thread.

:joker:

when you say its about time, whats stopped you before?

have I missed one of your threads?why are people acting like they can't make a thread about it :worry:

Livia said that she doesn’t believe anyone on here that was far right and I simply said that I disagree with her. That’s how discussion works, isn’t it
