"if NF tweeted first and BC replied then the fight was started by him not farage and werent politicans blamed for causing Jo cox's murder(rightly or wrongly) by stirring up the migrant debate. If and its a very big if the driver was a " refugee" then I fear a lot of Germans will blame Merkel,righly or wrongly " Nigel made the initial tweet. Brendan Cox replied. Nigel didn't respond, at least according to Sky news. Can't see why anyone would connect Nigel's tweet with the tragic murder of Jo Cox?? As far as I'm aware, Jo Cox was murdered by a far right supporter, not a refugee? Unless the suggestion is that politicians who supported Brexit were racist, xenophobic bigots... No doubt I'll be corrected by the hand wringers... Meanwhile, the death threats Nigel receives are not deemed important or newsworthy. | |||

"I think the point Nigel makes is that inviting people to head for Germany directly is asking for trouble. Especially in the times we live in. There needs to be vetting of people entering any country to try and avoid those who seek to harm. " but since for example.... in the last 2 days... 1)the person who was originally held over the berlin incident has been released after there was no forensic evidence to link him 2) the incident in switzerland at the zurich islamic centre, which was initally claimed by some to be terrorism, has now been ruled out to be such... so maybe its a wise idea for people to slow down and wait for actual evidence before making kneejerk statements... | |||

Regardless of this particular case, are you advocating inviting people to enter a country on masse with no checks? In light of the terrorist threat to the West? | |||

"Have I read this wrong but wouldn't somebody who is involved with an organisation that fights extremism know more about extremism than Farage/most people?" Farrage is an extremist himself.... His youthful dalliance with Fascism is well documented. So I guess he'd know an awful lot about it. | |||
"I am at a loss as to why the BBC and others keep giving him the oxygen of publicity. Let him go and play in the US for a while. " It seems to be those of a politically left leaning nature who start most threads on here about Nigel Farage, this thread an example for instance and you just have to look back through the forum history to see who starts most threads about Farage. | |||
"I think the point Nigel makes is that inviting people to head for Germany directly is asking for trouble. Especially in the times we live in. There needs to be vetting of people entering any country to try and avoid those who seek to harm. " Not only should we be rigorously vetting those seeking entry , we should also be monitoring those already here and where necessary deporting . Hopefully once we leave the EU it will be a lot easier to deport undesirables . | |||

Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia.

Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need."

Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws.

It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections. | |||

It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
Fraudulent Elections
Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
none"None?
It's funny, because other far right groups can certainly see the similarities. Does the phrase "UKIP at the ballot box, Britain First on the streets" not mean anything to you? | |||

"Fascists believe that liberal democracy is obsolete. UKIP advocates democracy and is more democratic than the other mainstream parties. Fascists believe that a state should be lead by a dictator. UKIP's main objection to the EU is that it is run by powerful unelected officials. Fascists believe that political violence, war and imperialism is a means that can achieve national rejuvenation. UKIP has campaigned against the UK's involvement in overseas conflict. Fascists advocate a mixed economy with the principle goal of achieving autarky through protectionist and interventionist economic policies. UKIP are in favour of unregulated free markets and free trade. Now having read that back, thinking about it I would describe the EU as fascist. I'm sure a blue and gold flag waving Euro anthem singer will disagree with me though" ...spot on. | |||

"I think the point Nigel makes is that inviting people to head for Germany directly is asking for trouble. Especially in the times we live in. There needs to be vetting of people entering any country to try and avoid those who seek to harm. but since for example.... in the last 2 days... 1)the person who was originally held over the berlin incident has been released after there was no forensic evidence to link him 2) the incident in switzerland at the zurich islamic centre, which was initally claimed by some to be terrorism, has now been ruled out to be such... so maybe its a wise idea for people to slow down and wait for actual evidence before making kneejerk statements...

"If isis have claimed responsibility that is evidence in that it is a confession. The police take someone confessing to a crime as evidence. " I for one would not be so quick to take an ISIS claim of responsibility as gospel. After all they have been taking a hammering in both Syria and Iraq and may just be looking for a 'good news story' to tell their followers. But at the same time I would not dismiss the claim either, after all they have been urging those they are radicalising to launch attacks of this sort for well over a year now. On balance I would suggest that if a paper trail is found when the killer is apprehended that there will be some link to ISIS even if it is only in the form of reading its literature. | |||

The police take someone confessing to a crime as evidence. It is not a confession unless it comes from the person who committed the crime. It may well have been IS-inspired but it is too early to tell. And has a false confession ever been taken in the past? I don't deny IS is involved. I don't like people jump to conclusions. Like the woman who was kicked down the stairs in German were blaming Muslims. Turned out to be eastern European. Same yesterday with someone from Afghanistan/Pakistan. The BBC gave a biased impression. " There is no question about it now. The guy who committed the terrorist atrocity in Berlin, a Tunisian asylum seeker/economic migrant, has been shown on the news where he pleadged allegiance to ISIS in a personal video he made of himself before he carried out the terrorist attack in the truck in Berlin. He must have known the video would be shown world wide after he carried out his cowardly and despicable terrorist act. He was also on the USA no fly list, and had known links to other Islamist extremists. He was Shot dead in the street in Milan by Italian police who stopped him and asked him to produce ID, when he pulled a gun and shot one of the police officers. Thankfully the police officer is making a recovery in hospital now. Doesn't this case again highlight the failures of the EU with its crazy open borders policy, he was a wanted man for several days yet was able to travel from Germany to France and then from France to Italy unhindered. | |||

" Doesn't this case again highlight the failures of the EU with its crazy open borders policy, he was a wanted man for several days yet was able to travel from Germany to France and then from France to Italy unhindered. " So how would see this changing then? What measures do you think would be sufficient to stop someone on the run travelling from Germany to France to Italy? Are you suggesting that passport control checkpoints are erected and vehicle searches are performed at each and every road crossing between EU countries? And some kind of physical border be erected between each of those countries? -Matt | |||
" what difference does it make? You goimg to say something good about him?" He is neither. He was a criminal that escaped Tunisia into Italy. They rejected his asylum papers but the deportation took longer. To be fair if there was intelligence on him and he was on the no fly list. Why was he allowed to stay for so long. Also the fact that a European wide hunt actually caught the guy. In the country that let him in already. Should we blame or congratulate Italy. I have no sympathy for people who are terrorist. But I am still against tarnishing nations or cultures based on a minority. If I do then the Jimmy Saville, FA coaches case and the cover ups for the churches makes me wonder... | |||

It's really not that difficult to understand but yet again you just don't get it. He was an asylum seeker who tried to claim asylum but his application was rejected. Then when his application was rejected he automatically became an economic migrant so he was both an asylum seeker and an economic migrant. | |||

Could it be the political elite that think they know best for their population but ignore theirs worries and dont care that many feel they are being left behind, people only turn ro extremists because no one is listening Sorry, I'm going to blame the far right for the rise of the far right. bit like the chicken and the egg?" Who are you going to blame? Let me guess...... | |||
