There has indeed been a lot of time and money put into pushing the extreme right wing threat narrative, there  have also been isolated incidents the most deadly with 3 fatalities dating back to 2000 if I recall correctly. Now factor that against the following and what would any impartial observer see as the biggest threat??. 
Those prone to lying and making false statement’s would be as well not replying as far as I’m concerned.

Happy St. George's day:

The Metropolitan Police releases footage showing a group of men - some draped in St George's flags - clashing with officers in Whitehall.

If Corbyn had got in we'd have been able to charge double for the bank holiday. 

 

Haven't they gor anything better to do with their time?

It's possible to support Palestinians and be anti Hamas, in the same way it's possible to support the people of Israel but be against their Zionist government.

Meatheads draped in flags should be sent to Rwanda..

 

Similarly, it's possible to be a Palestinian child and not be a member or even supporter of Hamas.

 

Meatheads of all flavours to Rwanda, what a good idea. That'd be a tiny bit of value of money at least.

Not sure about anyone else, but the idea of taking away the hard shoulder on motorways has always made me uneasy. Not very smart at all.

 

 

Claims that smart motorways tech leaves drivers at risk

Figures obtained by the BBC reveal worries about the reliability of the tech behind smart motorways.

I think the fella that came up with the idea in the first place is now very much against them.

It's the sort of thing you might expect a non driver to come up with, hard shoulders are very scary places but infinitely more scary if there isn't one.

[sime42]

Yep. I've only ever had to use one once, for a breakdown. It was very unpleasant as you feel highly exposed. And that was a conventional hard shoulder, with no live traffic behind either.

Likewise, I wouldn't stop on a hard shoulder if you can avoid it. Done that once and was straight out the car and 'hiding' safely. Also cycled down a 70mph dual carriageway - all legal - would never do that again either! Scary places outside the metal safety of a car.

Good 👍

Although I presume it’s that “ right  wing extremism “ the media pump out relentlessly that you are actually meaning. 
Im looking for all those right wing terrorist arracks bombings, beheadings, stabbings etc etc in the UK Mark ??????? got any links or sources ?

Interesting to see the fact that even those media sources I’d see as left of centre are openly admitting its blatant two tier policing that was witnessed today. 

I'm not a fan of extremists, I'm not bothered which flag they shag.

Interesting to see how political affiliation influences our perception of things, perhaps it's down to the media we digest:

In the UK now, if you have any opinion that is some way different to the agenda set out by the MSM, then you are instantly labelled as 'far right' which instantly pigeon holes you into the same category as Tommy Robinson. the EDL and the National Front. They do this so you appear to the sheeple, that you are affiliated to those extreme organisations so you either shut up or you get shut up. If you dare suggest there are too many immigrants coming over in boat, you are now far right, if you suggest we have too many people in this country you are far right...it's all done so in the end you comply with how they think you 'should' be thinking.

We have too many immigrants coming over by boat and there are too many people in this country now though.
