Oh I am well used to it and much more. However, the day when the hatred & nastiness ceases to shock me will be because it has become so much the norm I don't see it as unusual at all.
It feels like it is the norm on these forums these days, sadly.

Sorry, where is the hate? Or are you just dramatically proclaiming it to be there as your forearm goes to your forehead and you whimper into the corner like another snowflaker?
You can't see any hate on this thread at all? And you respond to my post with a nasty reply...... Strange?

What is a snowflaker?

Oh just googled snowflake.....giggle.....just laugh......

I only think it's the norm on certain threads. However, not so sure so many of these 'nasties' here...are quite so nasty in real life.

The cloak of anonymity and all that!

Shh... don't point out Farage hypocrisy here!
It's not really hypocrisy. He's stated many times the committees and votes in the EU are pointless and our influence is next to nothing. He's been re elected as an MEP by people in agreement with this who would rather he spent his time trying to get us to leave.

Of course our influence is next to nothing if our MEP's can't be arsed to do the work but take the money.

Why am I not surprised that Farage would criticise an anti-fascist organisation?

Dangerous fool is what Farage is. He prematurely shot off his mouth yesterday he could barley hide the delight that the German authorities had arrested a suspect, the imigrant from Pakistan.
It's as though he and others have been itching to have their own Jo Cox incident, that's how insideous this lot are coming across

Farage should know about extremists given his many "friends" in the European Parliament

Opinions counter to your own does not equate to hate. Yet it is a tiresome and increasingly regular tactic employed by those keen to shut down any argument that goes against their own.

My comment on your pretentious drama and sweeping generalisation that everyone offering opinions that you disagree with are spitting out 'such hate', is not one about hate. Your inability to see that is the point I am making.

Yes indeed, but I wouldn't call a Europhile Nigel's friend.

And there's a difference in doing business, attending meetings or not in the EU and campaigning on behalf of fishermen to literally sticking two fingers up at them and screaming at them across a few feet of water when they come to London to try and make a dignified protest, as is their right.
The lowlifes and luvvies like Geldof who harassed them that day should hang their heads in shame at their utter contempt for men who do a job they would never be brave enough to do.

I see there has been a massive cull of posts including mine.
Some of mine can still be seen where they have been reposted, if anyone looks at post 33 it is clear that they haven't broke the terms and conditions of the site.
If criticism of Hope not Hate is now banned on DS, then surely this thread should be closed because its central to the discussion.
What's the point of only allowing endless hypocritical posts from the sanctimonious brigade ?

Nigel has lots of friends in his little EU hate group.

I find it interesting that the same people who accuse Corbyn supporters of being in a cult are the same ones who are happily smearing the husband of a murdered MP because he disagrees with Farage.

Nigel isn't a cult - pretty close to one though.

You obviously have no idea about the sort of people with which UKIP associate themselves in the European Parliament.

But then, that's par for the course.

Change one letter in that sentence to make it accurate

You are very liberal with your use of the word "exactly"
What Farage said EXACTLY were the words that came out of his mouth.
Which is what I quoted from the OP. Unless he was misquoted, a not uncommon occurrence.

Hope not hate are yet another organization that live up to the saying of "the fascists of the future will be called anti-fascists".

I discovered at the weekend that he's now been on Question Time more than any other panelist, despite having lost all UK elections he's stood for, and his party only has one MP.

There is definitely a media element in place giving slimy Farage (and creepy Hopkins) a massive platform to spout their hate speech.
He was the leader of what is currently the largest UK party in the EU parliament, he has been an MEP for many years. Are you saying that an MEP is of little consequence and the EU parliament has little relevance to the UK? That is not what Remain were saying during the referendum. We were told it was our democratic position in the EU and where EU laws could be challenged and amended. I wish people would make up their minds.

And yet those that constantly moan about how badly treated Corbyn is and how things he says are twisted (as if he is the only one who suffers this), pile onto a thread, of which the title is a lie ("Farage brands Brendan Cox an Extremist") to put the boot in when the subject of the thread is someone they don't agree with.

Interesting eh?

Yes these people are sickening hypocrites.
I hope that was meant ironically.

Save me your tears. I don't remember you giving a damn about all the lies about Corbyn. I haven't made any comment about what Farage said about Cox (you're right in that he didn't call him an extremist, but he did imply he hung out with them), I have made my views clear on the UKIP supporters on this thread smearing the husband of a murdered MP.

No one says that they do. It's only when those opinions are expressed in a clearly hateful manner that they "equate to hate". And there has certainly been a lot of that in this thread - on both sides I'm afraid.
