Roving gangs intimidating RNLI 11:49 - Sep 17 with 5369 viewsjayessess

Portsmouth RNLI forced to shut their Portsmouth lifeboat station because they're getting abuse and threats off fascist gangs.

Beyond time something was done about these people?

i'm saying that none of the coverage has stated as evidenced fact causation running form the demonstrations to the temporary closure. people are assuming that causation, for whatever reason, but neither the press coverage or the rnli has stated it.

"We therefore took the decision to pause activity at the station to review crew safety and wellbeing, and to support those involved in the incident on 6 September."

that seems to be a clear statement of the reason for the closure. it was a response to the demonstration. i'm very content with that.


Excellent news. Lowhouse has given the story the green light.

Think we are slowly moving into unprecedented times.

Historically I don't think there as ever been a period in which a few wealthy individuals could manipulate/influence large parts of the population across the world to this effect.

Think this may be part of the reason why it seems so difficult to fathom or change/improve the situation

yes, the posted article omitted that quote. without it the story was seriously incomplete. with it all my concerns are resolved.

no, i haven't been getting at the lefties. i've been questioning evidence and showing assumptions. it's what modernity has involved for several hundred years. i guess you're always going to frame things as for my side or against my side, which is fine, but that's not what approaching things critically is really about.

Bit lazy of you.

For several hundred years people have put the effort in to research and find evidence, and not rely on one source.

Good job someone was around to help you with that.

The stuff about the actual organised fascists is terrible but getting grief at the school gates and turned away from pubs is also horrifying. That's just ordinary people whose brains have been absolutely cooked.

There is a real responsibility for politicians to get people a sense of bloody perspective about this issue (and a bit of sodding decency alongside it).

Perspective is the thing – in the list of problems affecting this country, "small boats" is nowhere near the top of those anyone should be worrying about.

We need tougher laws and social control on Nazis simply. These fellas throwing Nazi salutes in public need the strongest possible punishments and a joined up approach.

Any kind of Neo Nazi activity, affiliation, actions etc need more specific laws and punishments akin to Germany or whatever

There are loads of different examples within this bs thread on this theme.

Saw two men - RP accents, early 60s - come close to blows in the cinema last night because one of them told the other to turn their phone off. Something bad and strange is happening in society.

And we had a few posters on here trying to rationally explain why these behaviours were perfectly understandable, and that its the lefties who are the problem with tgeir intolerance.

It would be funny if it wasn't so serious.

You mean that it's not understandable to surround a hotel that a cricket youth team are staying in because they saw a bus of non-white chaps and obviously had CONCERNS?

again if that was the case the rnli would state it. if the journalist had evidence that that was the case the journalist would state it. the journalist is instead hoping that readers will infer something that they can't evidence. the journalist is hoping that their article will be reposted on social media with a spin which they can't themselves justify.

the reason for posting is that in an age of online rumour and misinformation we should check that what we are stating is true and proven. inferring stuff because it fits our pre-existing world view is dangerous. if someone you disagreed with did it you would call it out. you should hold yourself to those same standards.

That incident was a perfect example of how the immigration 'debate' has allowed people's racism to flourish. Anyone with brown skin is now seen as a legitimate target, because they might be an immigrant, and it doesn't actually matter if they are not anyway.

I just read that and despair.

I have known a few RNLI crew volunteers in the past. Just regular people doing an amazing thing because they're committed to helping people in trouble on the sea.
