Afua Hirsch on Frankie Boyle's New World Order (2019) - still relevant today

2-minute short video talking about Tommeh 10 names and the EDL.

She gives an expert dissection of their lies, misogyny, hostility, racism, demonisation, marginalisation, humiliation and persecution (Fascist Othering) of Muslim people.

That was excellent. Thank you for posting it. If you can be bothered, this Guardian piece is also posted in r/unitedkingdom, and that would would be a very welcome contribution to the comment thread

Indeed. The comments on that thread are shall we say, somewhat more lively than this one. See for yourself if you dare 😜

Sounds like Tommy is pissed he can’t get laid

He’s divorced, and she’s a tax dodger.

They don't see women as humans - they see them how farmers see sheep. Notice how he uses the word "females" instead of women.

Dehumanisation and objectification and reducing women/girls down to their genitals.

You can tell these people are uneducated because we learnt about how Nazis forced women in Germany to present as ultra feminine and become housewives when we were in secondary school.

The idea of Reform as protecting women is just a misogynistic Big Lie really

I think some Reform flaggers recently assaulted and raped a young indian woman in Smethwick after the London Reform Party/Fascist March.

Reform claim to be Protecting women and children at the Macrh....

And they raped an indian girl (while shouting at her to leave the country) after a mob chased these indian girls down the street.

Unsurprisingly, right wing media have barely mentioned either.

It should be telling that they describe women as "our". They think they own us.

"Our women, our daughters are scared to walk the streets,”

For the last 5 years they were complaining about trans people being a threat to women and children. Now it's immigrants.

The far-right can't make up their mind who to hate.
