Are we approaching the event horizon of racism in the UK? It seems to me that somebody should be taking control of the reins and actively driving these Neanderthals back into the caves they used to inhabit. It seems to me that there should be some top-down leadership to stamp this out for good. The racists are emboldened and encouraged by the fact that nobody is doing anything to stop them. Radicalised online by the likes of Tommy Robinson or Danny Tommo. >Just as a quick aside, remember that Tommo isn't in prison for any racially aggravated crimes, only criminal damage.< When we've got elected councillors such as George Madgwick in Portsmouth, spending his entire life online trying to whip up angry mobs — and succeeding — where does it end? Racism is hate speech. Not free speech. Fuck Tommy Robinson. Fuck his free speech. Lock him up as a credible threat to national security. Yesterday in Dover and Gosport, angry mobs were screaming racial slurs into the darkness. A group of men ambushed a taxi driver by draping a racist banner across his car. And that was on Sunday. Today, Tice and Oakshott are out to demonise the RNLI. Again. They are fully complicit in this rising tide of hatred. But where does it stop? How long does the government stand by and allow this tidal wave of racism to exist, without acting? This is no longer an online echo chamber issue. There are real-world dangers involved. When will the first attacks begin? Because then it's too late. I urge Andy Burnham to take action. Now. Before it's too late.
