I'm not.
& I don't have ancestry here, but I was born here.
2 questions.
If you kicked me out, where would you want me to go? (My folks were from different global locations)
And how would your life improve because of my absence?
2 factors that might be in my favour to stay here are :
- my tax bills could fund a small nation
- I'm an atheist, (though that could go against me as perhaps it would be preferable if I were a Christian.) |

I'll be honest most if not all _ar right politics leads to fascism, it maybe yiur right but fascism leads to even worse things consider it like star war hate leads to anger anger leads to jealousy and jealousy leads to the dark side |

"Im central me . Dont care for either left or right .... i just want my country to be "GREAT" again"
When was that please?
Was it the days of the foreman of the mill picking the workers as they stood in the rain or the rows of back to back houses with one toilet for several families?

Are you legal to stay?
Are you a bad person?
Then why would anybody be asking you to leave. |

Nothing wrong with being right wing but FAR right, as in Fascists and Nazis erm, yeah that doesn’t deserve tolerance any more than being far left and Communist does. Extremism is responsible for too much suffering to tolerate. |

Ditto..
We are in a cul de sac and the little uns are often out on their bikes and scooters and as it was when I was their age one of the old blokes warns them about cars, now it's myself..
Lived down south and it was the same there, not everyone knew each other if course but people still look after each other in their vicinity.. |

Nope the thread is about someone being proud to be an extremist. Then people’s reaction got them called out for intolerance (the implied point being “lefties” are ironically intolerant. My point stands. Extremism is evil and has caused untold suffering regardless of which end of the spectrum it sits. That is demonstrably true and historically accurate. |

I ask these questions and I'm yet to get a response? I'm so confused by their irrational behaviour. |

Surely being on this website means that you are more liberal minded than authoritarian right wing minded?
Sites like this and the Clubs would be shut down in a heartbeat under any form of truly _ar right government as our behaviour is diametrically opposed to _ar right values.
Perhaps the OP means something else? |

Dude, as far as I’m concerned, you have every right to believe whatever you like. But you (and to an extent I) are not going to find much, if any, acceptance on these forums. You will be accused of being a fascist and a nazi. They will be asked questions about your views on the Jewish holocaust. You will be goaded, and my advice is to really think about how you reply to provocations, it might well be best to take a moment to think about not responding at all.
Take care. |

Provocation? His opening bid was to describe himself as “_ar right”, his words, not anybody else’s .
And he has disappeared, no elaboration on what he meant.
Nice of you to show such support for a _ar right person, particularly since you have said elsewhere that _ar right doesn’t really exist. |

True. In the US, trump’s think tanks want to ban all porn, for example, and shut down any platform that shows porn. |

I don’t know why he made that post, or if he really is indeed ‘_ar right.’ But if he continues with that narrative, he is going to come in for a lot of provocation. What I said before was that there is not a significant _ar right in this country anymore. It had started to decline in 2006, and imo completely killed of by Nick Griffin’s pathetic performance on Question Time, and the release of the membership list. |

There might not be many of them. But seems like enough to smash up the place, riot and attack non-white people.
Strange moment for the OP to declare himself far-right. It's never a good look, but especially right now. |

Interesting that you felt the need to step in and give him support and advice.
As for provocation, if anyone has been provocative, it is OP |

Perhaps sadly some where using that salute and it's historical connection to agitate Jewish people?
Tbh my own opinion is that we should be like Germany and it's banned and a criminal offence but you know civil liberties etc |

Actually you make an excellent point. Extreme doctrinal mantra usually end up in the same place that is a supreme leader and a suppression of freedom of speech. Whether it’s left or right an isim or an ist be very wary about being duped by simplistic and irrational ideology.

Indeed and the majority of folks do, AFAIK.
.
A friend did raise a point however, being mostly centre ground himself, and that was he feels compelled to "join a side", because the middle ground is being squeezed on both sides. He said centrists views are being drowned out.
I said, don't compromise your views or centrism. Don't "join a side". If those around you are shouting, then you need to shout loudest of all.
After we finished our pints and had left, I did think to myself, if most folks are centrist, why isn't the Lib-Dems the most dominant party ? You'd think they would be by default, in that case. Though they did do well at the election.

You will be goaded, and my advice is to really think about how you reply to provocations, it might well be best to take a moment to think about not responding at all.
Take care.
Provocation? His opening bid was to describe himself as “_ar right”, his words, not anybody else’s .
And he has disappeared, no elaboration on what he meant.
Nice of you to show such support for a _ar right person, particularly since you have said elsewhere that _ar right doesn’t really exist.
I don’t know why he made that post, or if he really is indeed ‘_ar right.’ But if he continues with that narrative, he is going to come in for a lot of provocation. What I said before was that there is not a significant _ar right in this country anymore. It had started to decline in 2006, and imo completely killed of by Nick Griffin’s pathetic performance on Question Time, and the release of the membership list.
Interesting that you felt the need to step in and give him support and advice.
As for provocation, if anyone has been provocative, it is OP"
I thought perhaps he is attempting to wind everyone up. Maybe immaturity is part of his reasoning. But his opening gambit is a little extreme to say the least. If he being genuine, then he needs to understand what he is getting himself into. If, and it could be, that he is a leftist hiding behind a vpn (yes possibly another member) stirring the shit, then perhaps the mask will slip.

"Good Heavens I have just had a peek..........
She is a beauty, lovely bum!"
You see this backs up my theory…if more of these protestors were just having great sex more often, all become swingers perhaps, there’d be less protests or violence.
1. Everyone would just be more mellow and happier with lower testosterone levels.
2. Everyone would be too knackered to bother protesting or rioting.
Make love not war
P.S. thanks, I like her bum too lol |

Well that's entirely your own personal choice and you are entitled to your opinion as is the nature of our country.
Unfortunately the leanings of extremist views means that should your own views ever get into a position of power that freedom of choice and speech will disappear.
Something to ponder over. |

I've been told I'm a thug and racist because I don't support illegal immigration. The world's gone mad. My reply to the person accusing me was, they should protest to get the border checks removed at airports and ports so we could just let anyone in. Somehow they in their tiny mind saw that as different, the mind boggles. |

You're not _ar right. You just have to keep in mind many mainstream media entities have vested interests. 'Far right' is just a turn of phrase to demonize dissenters and sow discord amongst folk. |

"The British Isles doesn't include Ireland. It is a separate country. The British Isles includes Northern Ireland only. They even have different currencies. "
I love it how this place people will argue about anything. You are wrong and you can use the internet to check, just search “British Isles” but to save you time…
“The British Isles are a group of islands in the North Atlantic Ocean off the north-western coast of continental Europe, consisting of the islands of Great Britain, Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Inner and Outer Hebrides, the Northern Isles (Orkney and Shetland), and over six thousand smaller islands.
They have a total area of 315,159 km2 (121,684 sq mi) and a combined population of almost 72 million, and include two sovereign states, the Republic of Ireland (which covers roughly five-sixths of Ireland), and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The Channel Islands, off the north coast of France, are normally taken to be part of the British Isles, even though geographically they do not form part of the archipelago. Under the UK Interpretation Act 1978, the Channel Islands are clarified as forming part of the British Islands, not to be confused with the British Isles.” |

Completely correct. I think the other poster is mixing up the UK with the British isles. I only discovered this myself ages ago when I googled why is the word great in great Britain. Turns out it is simply the largest (or greatest) land mass in the British isles. That led onto the explanation you give |

An additional problem is words being used interchangeably.
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland = political
Republic of Ireland = political
Great Britain = technically geographic but sometimes used to describe the country
Ireland = technically geographic but sometimes used to describe the country |

Wrong, otherwise many could not move across borders, just because you are a convicted criminal does not stop you legally crosding a border. If they have breached the licence conditions or absconded prior to conviction or escaped prison then then should be intercepted. |
