Barely had time to dry his feet. Worth remembering that the UK has some pretty strict maritime laws so I’d be surprised if he doesn’t get a custodial sentence. I wonder if they will try and pin a terror charge on him?
Interesting that he waited until after the actual migrants had been removed and then tried to sink the boat when only a French rescue worker was left on board. Not only is he a piece of shit, he’s also a coward.
Interesting to think what would have happend if he slashed the dingy with migrants on board:
Slashes dingy. All migrants climb onto HIS boat because they, like everyone else, are not that fond of drowning. What now?\
Both options would have been funny in a cynical way.
I think someone like him would speed away as soon as possible to avoid people trying to save themselves on his boat.
I think the words you are looking for are “thick as a brick”.
Jethro Tull’s song immediately started playing in my head when I read that
Article headline calling him “activist” is making me so fucking mad btw.
Seems pretty active to me
What a loser.
Rightly so.
And to those who drew a weird comparison to recent unjust charges for left-wing protestors, complaining that this shitstain hadn’t been touched: can you connect what’s happened today to those comments yesterday/the day before? Can you see that they were premature, and that actually this guy has been arrested quite quickly?
The cynicism on this place is unjustified and EXHAUSTING. yeah lots of things are bad, and we should talk about them. But the cynical, baseless “he won’t be touched because he’s right wing” needs to go away.

Nah terrorism charges are reserved for people who take displeasure in the murder or brown people not encourage it.

Seriously getting mixed signals here. Do the UKies want brown people dead or not?

Depends if you spend your time hanging flags from lamp posts or not

Not on the whole, no.
In short, there are groups of ignorant, useful idiots that are easily led by their prejudice, being led by right wing grifters who think they’re clever, who are in turn being led by rich grifters looking to cash in on selling off what’s left of the UK’s government services to private interests.

How about just a little bit of xenophobic murdering, as a treat?
