    That’s not even like, a generic union jack mask you’d get at a party shop. That’s some sort of custom leather puppyboy gimp mask.

    1. St. George was from modern Turkey.
    2. Please stay calm and no face masks (you’re wearing a face mask).

    These fucking apes.

      “We are here peacefully for answers” And those answers were clearly in the Greggs we looted.

      St. George was from Georgia, USA!!! Hence the name, derp. He was a real white Christian like all Americans and he was a soldier in the Confederation, and tragically lost the battle for states rights against the treasonous Union/communists/Nazis while also killing a dragon in Wales. What a mate. A white mate. Not black or brown or even tanned. Very white. Like Jesus the white guy.

    I just do not understand how you can simultaneously claim to be a British patriot and openly support the ideology of Nazi Germany.

    Defeating the Nazis was Britain’s finest hour and something we should all be enormously proud of.

    Do these ‘patriotic’ neo-Nazis wish that Britain had lost?

      I used to hang out with an “interesting” group of people when I was younger. “Hitler was right but went the wrong way about it” was not an uncommon thing to hear.

    There’s something vaguely ridiculous about a union Jack face mask. Anyway hope that man is set on fire.

        At least the captain’s looks like he could be a wrestler, the chap in the post looks more like someone employed in Nigel Farage’s sex dungeon

      Vaguely? You’re a very kind person, thank you, it’s a very nice quality. Have a nice day.

      I don’t have your fortitude, and I think it’s absolutely laughable.

      First sentence fine. Second sentence is a call to violence, you should be better than that.

        Nah I’m entirely fine with acts of violence against the far right. Especially in cases where they’re going around engaging in acts of violence against marginalised people. How the fuck would we stop then otherwise? Sternly worded letters?

          I’m sure you are. You probably feel just as justified in calling for acts of violence against the far right as the far right do in their calls for acts of violence against the people they hate. But the far right need to be demonised for their hate and violence and giving them the ability to say “look, the left wing (or whatever other group) want us dead, we need to defend ourselves/get to them first” etc, is entirely unhelpful, don’t give them any excuse to legitimise themselves.

          I’ve had these types of debates before and they usually go back and forth with no benefit to anyone, these types of views are often too deeply entrenched for either of us to change eachothers minds.

          All I have to say is, it takes someone to be the bigger person, or else you quickly end up in a race to the bottom. I’m not going to say acts of violence are never justified, but they should be an absolute last resort and shit stirring calls to violence shouldn’t be made willy nilly on the internet by keyboard warriors that have probably never given or received a punch in their lives. I certainly hope that a someone doesn’t decide that they hate people like you and go about making calls of violence against you.

    Oh the irony of wearing a British flag face mask while giving the salute of their mortal enemy who was responsible for hundreds of thousands of British deaths. Get a fucking clue, traitor.

    Edit: sorry, switch right and left hands in my question.

    I hate Nazis as much as everyone should (a lot, fuck Nazis), but is there a bit more context? I’m not from the UK, and am unsure of the right hand symbol they’re using (sort of like a finger gun) or that’s even something used commonly. Could the picture simply be an unfortunately-timed picture of the left hand?

    Like I said. I’m not too familiar with anything specific going on over there, and am 100 % not defending this person.

    I may just be out of the loop and always want to be more aware of current things in other countries.
