    “If you support Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, better known as Tommy Robinson, a British anti-Islam campaigner and one of the UK’s most prominent far-right activists. Robinson has a history of criminal convictions. Robinson was a member of the British National Party, a British fascist political party, from 2004 to 2005. Or Katie Hopkins, Laurence Fox, or anyone of that ilk I suggest you block me because if your mask slips then I will simply block you with a merry wave as I tell you to go fuck yourself. Before you cry that we should not lose friends or associates because of a difference in political opinions then I have a have a simple lesson for you. Being xenophobic, racist, fascist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, misogynistic and a downright shit stain on the backside of humanity is not a difference in a political opinion. It is a difference in morality and in your support for these individuals means your moral compass aligns with being racist, fascist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, misogynistic and I would consider you a shit stain on the backside of humanity too”.

          This saying doesn’t make sense because it’s implying it’s ok for half the world to be blind, and that would be the half that lost their eyes to the pricks who deserve to be blind

            You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

            Matthew 5:38-48

    The irony of this guy, he wanted to use the far right to catapult him to politics and money. Instead Farage co-opted it all for reform.
