Odd, haven't seen any evidence of this in his videos, yet everyone one here is adamant that he is a racist.

In fact no one seems to know what a racist is these days, it just seems to be a term by insecure people of ethnic minority to beat anyone who doesn't share their views.

I suggest you familiarise yourself with "dog-whistle racism".

We should migrate GRcade to Flarum. :toot:

A ridiculous claim, if you are levelling such a charge against Pat Condell. There is nothing 'racist' (subliminal or not) about speaking truth - I've followed his YT channels for years and I have never once felt he is making a case for racism - coded or otherwise. Quite the opposite.

By your criteria, one could just as easily accuse militant anti-fascists in this country of being against free speech, whilst being in favour of state censorship and mass arrests for 'thoughtcrime' for simply holding the 'wrong' opinions.

Wasn't that a requirement of nick being allowed to keep the thread?

I tried watching that last video and had to give up after 3 minuets since he just kept going around in circles and wasn't making a point. He seemed to have a dig at Islam even though he was talking about the EDL halfway through what I watched, without context. I'm strawberry floating confused.

Hmm, send muslims to hell, ban mosques in the UK and all in the name of (from their official Twitter account, no less) preventing the white race from dying out in their 'own country'.

I don't think he looked very hard.

Yeah, they are racist. I think Pat is just trolling a little bit there. But some of his points still stand. They get way more press than they deserve or should. Like the BNP they are treated like pantomime villains.

Whilst I don't agree with the racists, I also don't agree with the hateful anti fascists. The BNP/EDL people are mostly ignorant, mostly simple, mostly lower class. They are looking for someone to hate and when they hit angry resistance it makes them worse.

You can't change anyone's mind by shouting at them. By opening a dialogue and understanding what they believe and (calmly) correcting them we might get somewhere. Perhaps there are some issues with immigration that need sorting, although in my opinion it's not easy enough to immigrate here :lol:

If the thread title keeps getting changed despite requests to the contrary, why doesn't a mod lock this and re-create a new thread, which will prevent that person from editing the thread title?

he really does seem an angry and hateful human being. Seriously needs to chill the strawberry float out before he has a stroke.


I saw him as simply pointing out the hilarious hypocrisy of the anti-fascist brigade. Which funnily enough we are seeing in this thread.



By being exactly the same.

Hate never solves hate.

Not in either brigade and I still think he seems a thoroughly unpleasant man in these vids.

Why post the thread at all if your little racist pea brain can't handle debate

It's not really the existence of the thread that annoys people AFAIK

The problem is you change the thread title to something misleading to bait people (edit:despite being asked not to and to keep pat condell in the thread title), and then don't really debate the material you post, despite being asked/told to many times.
