I like Lyle, and would probably enjoy having any few beers with him.

i don't mind all the political threads, after all I did not have to open them or comment ..... nor end up in some spit flecked shouting match

I didn't really join the debate as I've not really seen anybody ever change their mind about politics following a debate on here!

Anywho, I did have some intel in Tommy Robinson, so I thought I'd share it.

Im not sure he left the BNP because his black mates couldn't join. What black mates?

Another 'acquaintance' of mine - not a friend, we played on the same pool team - clearly follows Pegida UK and also Germany on Facebook. I see his 'likes' and comments.

On the evidence of the stuff I see in my feed, Pegida are pretty full of hate, they post lots of questionably truthful news and they use Muslims as their 'other' who it's OK to hate and fear. They do have an undercurrent of militarisation and dehumanising 'others'.

It's likely, though not definitely provable, that they feel similar about many 'others' who are not heterosexual, nationalistic, Christian ethnic indigents of their own country.
