  1. "True fan", what makes a true fan? Turning up and clapping regardless of the circumstances? They're not fans, they're consumers.
  2. Was it inciting violence?
  3. By bringing them into the spotlight you expose many, many more to their poison. Many who won't think a well structured argument beats a shouty tirade. Morgan invited Alex Jones onto his show and the man just shouted. Same happened on Newsnight, didn't it? What did that do other than have the centre feel smug in their superiority and embolden the far right? I can't imagine a young disenfranchised man watched that and thought, "Y'know what, that angry shouty man doesn't half look silly". More likely he thought "YEAH, STICK IT TO THE SNOWFLAKE LIBTARD CUCKS! THEY DON'T LIKE IT UP'EM"

    That's where Napoleon did surrender.
  5. Huge difference between exercising your right to free speech and inciting violence against minorities. Allowing bigotry and hatred a platform will lead to its legitimisation. We shut down radical islamists quick enough, why not their brothers from another mother?
  6. And Nazi events shouldn't be tolerated in the first place... right? I mean anti-semitism, racism, homophobia couched in violent terms is inciting violence and were it a bloke in a beard outside a mosque FOX news and Homeland Security would have been all over it, right?
  7. Sure, but it's a plot point that will surely lead to a discussion about claims to the throne, which will pivot to Jon's claim. How will Daenerys feel about the Usurper's child suddenly being bezzzy mates with her love interest/nephew? Also will lead to discussions about the Red God, for some lovely exposition scenes North of the Wall. And surely when Arya meets Gendry again how will that impact the Red Woman's position on her list? Should Cersei find out (and her spy network seems up to the job) how will she react to knowing Robert's bastard is alive and kicking?
  8. People have already died and I was worried before that. However, without an actual leader to bring people into line with rhetoric, governance and force, I think that if the public meet Nazis with anything but force it won't change anything. I just cannot see a resolution that doesn't include a body count, can you? Certainly not with Donald pouring petrol on the fire. Aren't there laws against hate speech in America? I know the Nazi salute is illegal in European countries, why not there?
  9. Would you bring that to a car fight?

    It could be that he's dogshit, but it could be that his style didn't fit, his face didn't fit or there were personality clashes in the dressing room. Nothing to do with his ability or lack thereof. I did see a rumour on twitter (I know I know) that he was banging the daughter or sister or wife of someone at the club.
  11. As Robert's last surviving child he has a claim on the throne, a stronger one that Cersei's at least. I reckon Thoros and maybe Berric will die North of the Wall, but everyone else will make it back. I can't imagine they'd bring Gendry back for one episode, then off him? Especially because of his claim to the throne. I thought it was a good episode, Gilly reading the part about Jon's birth (which also gives him a claim to the throne) but being cut off by Sam, the return of Gendry, the dragon having a similar reaction to Jon as the other two dragons had with Tyrion (lending credence to the theory about the three dragon riders), Cersei becoming ever close to the Mad-King in her desperation to cling on to power. Also, didn't Cersei's witch tell her she'd only have three children, all of whom would die? So I'm not buying Cersei's pregnancy, or at least it won't result in a living child. I think it could be bullshit because she could see she was losing the loyalty of Jaime, and knew he's sentimental enough that a child would pull him back in line. I only recently realised the three main characters (Tyrion, Jon and Daenerys) all had mothers who died during childbirth. Dunno if there's any meaning to that, but it struck me as an odd coincidence.
  12. If Altrincham had a burgeoning fascist mob, I'd learn how to defend myself too. I get that you're trying to walk an objective path, but I cannot be that objective when they're brandishing swastikas, sieg heiling, and calling for the deaths of innocents. The Antifa are no doubt looking for trouble, but they're picking fights with nazis, I'm totally ok with that. They're not driving cars into protests. The nazis in Charlottesville were allegedly discussing burning a synagogue (and I can't imagine you'd think that would be a stretch), would you expect the Antifa to look to burn down a church? We should absolutely seek to stop the radicalisation of young men, in all social spheres, but we shouldn't meet grown men toting AK47s and screaming "blood and soil" with meekness.
  13. That's absolutely floored me. I don't care if the Antifa turn up with sticks, the nazis are turning with AK47s and a yearning for bloodshed. The longer Trump is in power the bolder these groups will become and the more innocent lives will be lost. Saying that the Antifa are violent too is like blaming a rape victim for wearing a low cut top.
  14. Just checking, nobody read Wolfy's post, right?
  15. Ashley doesn't care about public perception, so Rafa mouthing off in public shouldn't bother him. Especially as he controls the expenditure. If Benitez walks it won't be because Ashley wants him gone, it'll be because Ashley doesn't care enough about keeping him.
  16. One game, window isn't shut, Benitez repeats his commitment in almost every press conference.
  17. Wait.. is Rayvin Baked Alaska?
  18. Dunno who he is beyond the angry "alt-right" bellend who was maced. I don't know if he is a nazi, his youtube channel has a symbol that looks an awful lot like a slightly altered swastika. He's probably just another alt-right attention whore. I'd not be at all surprised if he doesn't think he's racist, if he doesn't see his actions embolden actual 90mph fascists.
  19. There'll be a few too afraid to comment publicly, but privately bemoaning SJW snowflakes.
  20. Oh aye, give him a chance. I just can't see him being the answer to our goal scoring concerns.

  22. Bloke on the right looks like he should be presenting Coach Trip on Channel 4.
