Lol, it took me a while to figure out what that was an image of in the lower left red circle in that first image.

So, you're saying that all of this overt racism appearing after the Brexit vote is just a coincidence?

Indeed it is. Do you seriously think C18 is a relatively new group? They are a simply variation of the old Chelsea headhunters, or should I say the Chelsea Shed boys. The C18 that was found in Ireland had nothing to do with racism for one thing, since it is a protestant group who are anti-catholic, therefore it was sectarianism at best. So, it is a bit off to imply that those of ethnic backgrounds are the only ones being targeted when religious groups, lgbt groups and communist groups are being lumped with them.

Good thing I live in South London - the c*nts are welcome to come and try to start some sh*t here, with all the black people around. Which they won't because they're cowards, they'll just stick to harassing minorities in places, where they're actual minorities.
As long as the country is free for me to either listen to death metal in a black neighbourhood and drinking beer in a neighbourhood of muslims plus other numerous examples like wearing a beret, riding a bike with onions around my neck carrying a baguette to piss off the local English.....

Pretty sure they're mostly talking about National Action. But it's still normal, I've seen their posters throughout my city on plenty of occasions. Barely anyone pays attention to them and they always end up getting taken down by a decent member of the public or the police.

Indeed, in all fairness, we are not really like the United States where there clearly is some sort of racial divide amongst various groups. However, in the United Kingdom, many people from many different ethnic groups do get along and I think we have been a great deal better as far as integration is concerned. One of the greatest icebreakers I have ever watched was "Love thy neighbour", where the white guy was always being racist but at the end of each episode, you can guarantee that the black will win. Same with the old Alf Garnett and his ranting and raving, which was comedy gold. Anyone who thinks racism is on the up or the far-right groups are on the up are deluded. Just as communism was a threat years ago with the cold war, nothing really came of it, same with the "rise of the far right", in Europe, nothing really has come of it. People are just thinking that the numbers of incidents have gone up simply because of Brexit.

I'm fairly sure i've seen police statistics that say otherwise.
