In fairness, Jamie, he is getting on a bit. He won't be the first semi-senile old biddy to fall for BF's pretty logo and animal welfare veneer. Fair play to BF for having a woman deputy, though. It's nice to see them becoming a progressive equal opportunities extremist hate group.

Joking aside, it is a tad depressing isn't it? Still, I doubt that it will have any impact to speak of.

Yes, it is quite depressing that our former colony has elected such an enormous, blundering clot.

That's not strictly true, Jamie. The colonies voted largely for the other side. Florida, Texas, et al have nothing to do with us.

Indeed you are correct, Octavious.

it is quite a bit of a nightmare over here right now. sorry it is bleeding over into the rest of the world, it is all horrible and embarrassing, with decades of ramifications ahead.

I can't say anyone is very surprised. It is the platform he ran on after all. It says rather a lot about the "fine people" who stand with him .

Oh, but it's apparently liberals who are divisive for objecting to this sort of thing, right, Flum. After all, many Nazis are fine people after al

Trump's supported and retweet from many US hate groups with similar views, so this isn't a surprise. One of his biggest supporters is David Duke of the Klu Klux Klan.

I'm sure David Duke is a fine person, just great. Donald Trump probably invites him over for cake. A piece of enormous chocolate cake, just the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake you've ever seen. Wonderful.

Just as long as it's White Chocolate, though.

WHO FUCKING CARES ABOUT YOUR FUCKING POLITICS NON-SENSE, YOU FUCKTARDS. STOP POSTING CRAP

you seem to care just a bit

i'm scared he's using all caps, pls auto-silence

Someone get the mods, Trustworthy Ally is engaging in threatening conduct.

There are some fine people on both sides...

...of the pond.

Touched a nerve with someone

You Brits ought to realize somewhere between a third to half of Americans are Britain Firsters. That's who you have a "special relationship" with

I live in UK and had never heard of these fringe lunatics until that madman tweeted (twat)?

@Ogion: I said people like you cause division. Not liberals.

They are, Ogion? Sweet. That bodes well for an FTA after Brexit.

@ damo

Really? There aren't many of them, but they were notable for their social media presence. Their tactic was usually to post something like "Cruelty to dogs is unacceptable. Like if you agree", or "wearing poppies isn't racist. Share if you agree" etc etc, which would generate a load of likes and shares. Trouble is these posts would also contain links to some pretty nasty far right propaganda on their home pages. It led to some stories about the far right getting several hundred thousand likes on Facebook, when the reality was it was just gullible idiots thinking they were supporting animal welfare and the like.

Trump actually managed to retweet one of the overtly nasty posts, which is pretty special even for him.

Wtf is a "Britain Firster"?

They also came into the spotlight last year when someone yelling 'Britain First' murdered a Labour MP.

It's kind of like a Britain Fister, but more piratical

As an aside is it just bioted fascists the ones we don't like and ordinary fascists are ok.? And why should only decent people be outraged. Can not so decent people also be outraged. I'm a decent people, in my opinion, and I am not outraged. If I got outraged every time I didn't like something a politician said or did I would be in a permanent state of outraged-nous.

Pretty much. If Trump wants to keep damaging America's international standing with meaningless gibber, that's fine by me. I will continue to ignore everything he says about Britain, from inside my comfortable home in the Al-Brightonian Emirate.

There's no England now.

@TooCoolSunday: this is not just a politician. This is the president of the USA.

@TooCoolSunday: You do not find it at least a little bit outrageous that the President of the United States of America has endorsed and helped to promote an overtly fascist white supremacist organisation which has publicly supported religiously violence in the UK? That's not outrageous to you?

*religious violence
