The normalisation of the far-right continues

I'm convinced his whole rise to Twitter prominence is all part of a wider break up story and he's very much just a scorned man. 

He reminds me of wannabe edgelords, the type of guy to say "yeah but what about ba ba black sheep"

Starting to think I have a decent chance of pumping Billie Piper, given that she seems irresistibly attracted to utter bellends.

She's got a decent name at least.

You've got no chance. I sat next to her on a flight from Dundee and she totally blanked me. Maybe because she caught me trying to have a peak at what she was texting before we took off.

You're too nice. Merry Christmas, that's your present for this year, hope you enjoyed it.

There's a P&B poll for you: who's enough of a p***k to impress Billie Piper?

Greece's Golden Dawn classed as a criminal organisation.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54433396


After a trial lasting more than five years, the leadership of Greece's neo-Nazi party has been convicted of running a criminal organisation.

Big crowds gathered outside the court in Athens as the judges gave verdicts on 68 defendants.

Golden Dawn won 18 MPs in 2012 as Greeks were battered by a financial crisis.

The criminal inquiry into the party began with the murder of an anti-fascist rapper in 2013.

Leader Nikos Michaloliakos and six colleagues were convicted of heading a criminal group. Supporter Giorgos Roupakias was found guilty of murdering an anti-racist musician and 15 others were convicted of conspiracy in the case.

Some 2,000 police were being deployed around Athens Appeals Court as hundreds of protesters demanded long jail terms, carrying banners that read "fear will not win" and "Nazis in prison", Greek media reported. Tear gas was fired into the crowd as clashes began.

Hundreds of witnesses gave evidence in the trial, which this year has been hit by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Who was on trial?

At the centre of the trial are Golden Dawn leader Nikos Michaloliakos and 18 ex-MPs who were elected in 2012 when the neo-Nazi party came third in national elections on an anti-immigrant, nationalist platform.

After they won almost 7% of the vote in May 2012, emboldened supporters attacked political opponents and migrants.

Golden Dawn supporter Giorgos Roupakias had already confessed to the murder of rapper Pavlos Fyssas. The musician was chased down by thugs and stabbed in Piraeus in September 2013.

What were the verdicts?

The key verdict on Wednesday was that Golden Dawn - Chrysi Avgi in Greek - was a criminal group. Its leadership was found guilty of running it.

They included Michaloliakos and six colleagues, including former MPs Ilias Kasidiaris, Ioannis Lagos, Christos Pappas and Giorgos Germenis. Others were found guilty of joining a criminal organisation.

As well as the deadly stabbing of Pavlos Fyssas, defendants in the trial were also convicted of other violent attacks on migrants and left-wing political opponents.

Five Golden Dawn members were convicted of the attempted murders of Egyptian fishermen and four of the attempted murder of communist activists in the PAME union.

Who is their leader?

Nikos Michaloliakos founded the movement in the mid-1980s and was admirer of Nazism and a Holocaust denier, giving the Hitler salute at party rallies.

But he had always denied any knowledge of the Pavlos Fyssas murder. When police raided his home in 2013, they found weapons and ammunition.

Golden Dawn officially denied being a neo-Nazi movement, but its badge closely resembled a swastika, some senior members praised Adolf Hitler, and the clothing of choice at anti-immigrant protests was black T-shirts and combat trousers.

Witnesses told the trial that members were trained to handle weapons and used Nazi symbols.

Last December, chief prosecutor Adamantia Economou prompted uproar, with a call for the party officials to be cleared, arguing there was no evidence they had any part in planning or carrying out the series of attacks.

How has Greece reacted

There has been disgust at Golden Dawn across the political spectrum in Greece.

Centre-right Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis wrote at the weekend of Greece's "traumatic, painful, and unfortunately, very bloody" experience of Golden Dawn, while ultimately praising the country's democratic success in getting rid of it both in parliament and daily life.

Left-wing opposition leader Alexis Tsipras was adamant that "members of this criminal gang must go to prison".

Nils Muiznieks of Amnesty International said the trial had been a serious test for Greek justice but that a "clear and unequivocal message" could help deter future racist violence.

Meanwhile, the Jewish cemetery in Athens was daubed this week with anti-Semitic graffiti and Nazi slogans, prompting condemnation from Greek ministers and the Jewish community.

Nutcase Laurence Fox being celebrated on Jeremy Vine’s Channel 4 tabloid garbage. This is after Nick Ferrari feted him on LBC yesterday. Remember folks: the guy who is being sued for wildly calling everyone who called out his racism paedophiles is to be taken seriously in the UK media.

Sky are showing some woodworking reality show and are trying to pretend one of the contestants isn't a Nazi.

r/TheSimpsons - It's German for "the Bart, the".

 

Surely it would be easy to check if his Dad did die in 1988?

And are the Nazis really infiltrating the history channel woodworking shows? They get plenty airtime on that channel already. 

And I'm obviously DAF because I had no idea what 88 signifies to a neo-Nazi until I googled.

I'm not sure if Nazis should be denied all employment in unrelated fields, like being a contestant on a woodwork show. The Border Force should be an absolute no no of course, and anything involved with people really. Wood is pretty safe unless he refuses to work on ebony, then straight out the door, unless it's for environmental reasons. A few Nazis are environmentally sound.
