USA but i think it correlates to the UK 100%.

Are you sure you haven't asked this question before? It looks awfully familiar.

It doesn't apply to the UK.

yes, one person's extremist is another person's freedom fighter. Plenty of people were absolutely outraged by suffragette "terrorism".

[naomi24]

That's it. Why are you asking again?

[Old_Geezer]

We do call out extremism whatever skin colour is involved. There were plenty in Ireland during the 'Troubles' for example.

[jno]

refers to a different article.

If people were forbidden to post about Brexit because they'd already done so...

[spathiphyllum]

"Why are you asking again?"

1, what have i ask'd ?

2, how is this the same?

[naomi24]

jno, I know it refers to a different article albeit on the same subject - and who said anything about 'forbidden' apart from you?

[spathiphyllum]

OG seems to not be a similar case for the far right, because it's not considered terror, by most.

[emmie]

because for the most part white extremists don't plant bombs and kill masses of people, most of them are like Tommy Robinson. The one that did kill the Muslim chap is referred to as a terrorist on the news. He is now in jail, which is where he should be.

[naomi24]

spath, I presume you're asking the same question the headline asks. No?

[spathiphyllum]

I don't feel i need to ask the question, i feel the answer is obvious. Would your answer differ from the one i've provided?

[spathiphyllum]

Tommy Robinson is an extremist, not a terrorist.

[spathiphyllum]

It's only one more step for him. He's borderline.

[naomi24]

I've answered. I said it doesn't apply to the UK. No comparison whatsoever.

[spathiphyllum]

your answer emmie, is everything. "white extremists" who plant bombs and kill people, are terrorists. Not white extremists.

[spathiphyllum]

That's your opinion Naomi, i've said it does. So we're at a stand still there.

[naomi24]

spath, Tommy Robinson isn't a borderline terrorist - whatever that may be. Don't be silly.

[emmie]

and most of the white men you might call terrorists, are the same as him.

[naomi24]

spath, ok, how do the two groups in this country compare?
