All they do all day long is attack the EDL, Britian First and UKIP for being bigoted whilst being deathly silent about ISIS, Boko Haram etc. It doesn't matter to them that their hero Corbyn classes the IRA, Hamas and many Islamists as friends. 

It borders on white apologists, and they are never far from pointing out that Britain used to invade nations all over the planet many moons ago when the topic of ISIS/Taliban/Al Qaeda/Boko Haram pops up. 

They never fail to mention foreign policy and they seem to think the St George flag is a racist symbol because a few 1,000 "EDL supporters adopted it."

You can't take these nationalist groups seriously. The EDL et al are actually thugs who would if it came to it probably inturn all Muslims and make the lives of many innocent people a misery. They are openly fascist.

UKIP are mainly middle class English eccentrics trapped in the past, although Farrage did make one very good point about the migration build up in calais. When asked what he thought about conditions in the migrant camp, he said the Frnech could sought it out overnight by granting the migrants assylum, issuing them French passports then they could all come to UK legally anyway. No need for camps. No need to ris life and limb getting here.. I thought he had a point. But he's still generally a t**t.

Britain and the US have been on the march ever since 2001 in one form or another, and although it may be over simplified to say our foreign policy has led to terrorism, it is a factor. It doesn't excuse terrorism but may go some way to exlaining it.

Corbyn isn't friends with those groups, but he did try to engage with them in the same way that we engaged with Sinn Fein and for the same reasons he did; to find a path to peace. Beyond that his opponents have no leg to stand on if they were part of governments that cuddled up to dictators (including Saddam Hussein) Objecting to some of the platforms Corbyn has stood on stinks of massive hipocrisy on their part.

There are those who object to the English flag for all manner of silly reasons, but their numbers are fewer than the Daily Mail would you believe I'm sure
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

A couple somewhat old articles on something similar that posit what's going on with situations like this are the consequence of the mainstream left being assimilated by the same power structure it originally opposed: The first of them looks at the economic nuts-and-bolts behind the speech policing on universities, noticing that it's in part a result of management becoming afraid of opinions that could be radioactive to potential investors; the second goes for more of a cultural criticism angle looking at the proverbial megaphones being shifted around in the left-leaning media.

Simon don't you sometimes have opinions instead of articles?
