What "mocking and downtalking"?

Fascists do not deserve respect.


Which has actually turned out rather well.


And still is, given last week's election results.


Huge PR by turds who make money from market volatility. Fortunately it didn't work.

This is the current make up of local councillors. It's worth mentioning that not every district has elections every year..

Not that much success since they've got 4% of local councillors and 0.8% of MPs.

The unusual electoral system there makes it difficult for them. That and basic human decency; even staunch Conservatives in some areas were tactically voting Labour in the local elections to keep them out. It's worth mentioning that the one thing they won, a byelection, was won by only 6 votes. That despite the previous MP having to resign after being jailed for beating up a constituent in the street. It was an easy election for them, however they only scraped in by a majority of 6 voters.


Not in mine. Most of the media were saying that they'd win it easily; in fact they lost it badly.

I doubt any doctors' premises have them, u less it's in Mogadishu.


Based on the Channel 5' Police Interceptors franchise. A few countries have bought into that and it's worth watching as good background TV.. The original is about the only TV show I watch.


Quite, and where alcohol is concerned peoples mood can change in a second.

Probably neither drink nor drugs (though excessive use of both does put people on a downward spiral).

I suspect such attacks are nothing new, just in the news right now due to the tragic murder of that doctor.


That's like my home in the U.K., near a big cluster of prisons. Some of the people just needed a job and signed up, plus of course it's public sector with a reasonable salary, lots of overtime and a good pension, as valuable as gold when the region's main industries vanished.

@Tacitus
What are people saying in the west and south of Germany about the votes in the northeast for AfD?

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1390]


Somehow your surreal suggestion seems highly unlikely, in part due to an aversion among decent people to murder in large numbers.

Tackle the causes of crime of course, as well as focusing on rehabilitation rather than revenge and containment. There's actually very little point in long sentences or inhumane conditions since they do not serve as a deterrent. If they did, then countries with harsh penalties for crime would be crime free, wouldn't they, eh....

Otherwise you just repeat the mistakes of before.

I've worked in one (briefly and not as a prison officer) plus visited them due to an interest in prison reform and hated every second of being there.

The only officers I didn't dislike were the ones who'd come out of the army and didn't know what to do, or were police who had to leave the force for health reasons or were third or fourth generation guards.

Logistically bizarre too of course due to planes able to carry a significant number of people needing pesky inconveniences like permission to land.

Not that the haters think about actual details.

There are good ones, even many however the job is so unappealing that it appeals wither to people who can't get much else in t( way of work or even worse, the type of people who love order, discipline and uniforms.

What could possibly go wrong......


The UN convention on asylum which trumps local laws does not mention "safe countries". And of course if the U.K. were to do that as well, there would be a few million more people in mainland Europe for y'all to deal with than now.

Probably not new, however once an egregious case is reported and gets clicks, the media report more cases that otherwise they'd not bother about.

???

Some people always get the wrong end of the stick.


Good in theory, not so straightforward in practice. People will always head, legally or otherwise, for places where they can earn enough to send back. However much authorities try to spread people around, it never quite works.

Indeed, and the world would be a better place if people read and understood a certain short book that He wrote together with Engels. They don't even have to follow it slavishly as extremists do; just understand the bits about labour and expropriation.

It's more that crime chooses them.


If only it were as simple as that. The causes of crime are myriad.

Of course defining crime is another question.


And this is sad, since fascism exists whatever people call it.

I don't use twitter and you have to log in nowadays before you can see the stuff there.

Some individuals are sucked into crime, usually due to exclusion, inequality. peer pressure, desperation and lack of hope however this has always been the case in German and other cities.

What does that mean?

Desperation, so it's the strongest or the worst who go. Basically a self fulfilling prophecy that racists bring upon themselves.

They aren't migrants..

Riots and crime happen anyway, and migration will only increase.


Something I've never seen. The worst street violence I've personally come across was in Warsaw when the fascists started rioting over nothing.

Very.

A better name for fascist is corporatism since their nasty authoritarian and nationalistic tendencies are not unique to them.

Have you spent much time in the UK, Sweden or much of the Arab world?


Maybe sometime, fascists should reflect that some faceless 'investor' is making more money from their job than they are and getting 'profit' from their housing and food shopping too...

You seem to think that the only alternative to unrestrained capitalism is east European communism.

Generally the screaming comes from fascists.


Or maybe applying the law...

That's surprising given the authoritarian distortion of economy and society there.

Odd that the pond life minority who vote for fascists want that back.

It really doesn't.

When organisations or political parties promote hate and division, they need dealing with.


Why would they, since her comments are positive?
