Watching it. Over 20 years ago I lived in London for a couple of years and I knew a group of Arsenal fans exactly like this. At that time it was my first exposure to that particular brand of aggressive, intolerant racism. It was and is massively different to the casual racism that most of us come across.Just started 9 minutes ago. It looks like an eye opener.

I know what you mean. I was down there 25+ years ago and it was the same then. I got chucked out a pub for buying a black dude a drink and taking it outside to him after the barman had told him to fukk off out his pub. It's a shame because it was my local at the time :doh

Watching it. Not liking it though
It wasn't pleasant viewing was it.I have obviously led a sheltered life living in the back waters of west lothian and cannot say I have ever seen or experienced such vile people, in a few clips each side were equally as vile as the other, complete dregs of society.

Never been to Glasgow on derby day?
Aside from a handful of marches, populated by a handful of window lickers, you're very, very unlikely to come across this kind of racism in London.

Was timberfox on it?
and other than that I wouldn't know but I hope he watched it and was suitably disgusted.I didn't see anyone with a badge saying Timberfox on itand other than that I wouldn't know but I hope he watched it and was suitably disgusted.
I must admit Dub I was disgusted with both sides idiots. The were a disgrace. The chant of "one Lee Rigby" was despicable, and even more so that his family denounced the use of his death as a weapon for these bigots to use. The responses from the Choudry mob of "your wife, children etc will be muslims" was idiotic and ammunition against decent muslims. Then again neither of these bams actually give a shit about decent folk going about their normal lives.

One thought I had was that as much as these two groups like to draw hard and steadfast barriers between what they think they are and what they think they are standing up for they, in a world where we like to pigeon hole people, are far closer to each other's pigeon hole than they are to the rest of society. They both spout hatred, intolerance and ignorance of other cultures, races and religions. Most people don't do that. So if ever there had to be a definite line drawn as to where people had to stand then they, both groups, would be on the opposite side to most right-thinking people with half a brain cell. They'd be on the same side because they, essentially, want the same things - only the persecutors and victims are reversed.Totally agree dude. When the muslim bloke started shouting those things I could feel my blood start to boil and if I'm honest, if I heard someone shouting that at me [although in fairness this guy was provoked a bit] I would find it difficult not to have a go at him myself. The Lee Rigby chant was disgraceful.
I've not seen this but you are bang on, with the last bit. In fact the 'thinkers' that modernised the NF then the BNP, including griffin, were big admirers of Islamism until it became opportunistic to oppose it, it has many parallels not only with Bolshevism but with the ideas of neo fascism.One thought I had was that as much as these two groups like to draw hard and steadfast barriers between what they think they are and what they think they are standing up for they, in a world where we like to pigeon hole people, are far closer to each other's pigeon hole than they are to the rest of society.

:pullhair:
I'm quite sure that you'll live the rest of your days out without ever being called a Muslim Extremophile.:pullhair:Now that's what you call racism , that's true racist's , I would be quite glad to be called a Muslim Extremophile , but not a racist.

hopelessly unable to escape the cliches of bourgeois liberalism. Cultural imperialism at its most self defeatinggood article by Zizek on the Paris terrorists - the analysis could equally apply to the white angry boys from the programme....

useful too on the weakness of liberalism when it come to addressing fascism or islamo-fascism
hopelessly unable to escape the cliches of bourgeois liberalism. Cultural imperialism at its most self defeating
)i'd have thought you'd have agreed with Zizek with the ineptitude of western liberalism in addressing fascism? you've argued much the same in the past (if less eruditely)
