    I wonder whether Pangolin still thinks his donation was a good idea?

    Here's the view of The Social Democrats

    https://sdp.org.uk/sdptalk/black-lives-matter-how-should-we-respond/

    I think this has been posted on here before

    https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/revealed-what-black-lives-matter-really-stands-for

    Mind you, I'm sure those on here who donated already knew what they were buying.

    Amazing how quiet the usual wokeys have been on BLM being anti-Semites compared to a non-story about noose...

    Some wonderful confusion on the right between a western world-wide movement and a specific fringe who have adopted the same name for their own purposes which have little to do with the movement.

    Almost feels deliberate.

    Not that amazing really, tbh.

    At least one poster on here would consider the Social Democrats to be hard care reactionaries.

    "Ironically, whinging about virtue signalling seems to be the fashionable way to show what a hard core reactionary you are, and get some likes from your fellow reactionaries".

    I bet the SDP never thought they would have to wear that label. :D

    I thought the SDP was a sort of convalescent home for former UKIP MEPs. I'd say Patrick O'Flynn fits the description pretty well.

    Yes, they are Eurosceptics, is it this that taints your view? If you are Eurosceptic it must follow that you have to be 'hard core reactionary'?

    😊 Whoosh, not even close tovarishch. I'm actually in a pretty happy place. DYOR on the meaning of the word 'happy' as it is clearly not part of your world.

    Haha I remember Patrick. Ran for UKIP here in Cambridge. Think he's from round here.

    Got absolutely spanked, then started spouting off about Farage. Got spanked even harder in Peterborough last election I believe.

    Wasn't he someone senior at the express?

    The confusion sits with you. There was no comment from the usual SJW's that they were a fringe movement when they were raised here on 10th June. At least one SJW even donated to them and the screenshot of that donated was liked by another SJW.

    Now their mask has dropped to show they are an anarchist leftie political movement the SJW's are stuck in back-peddling mode and trying to pass them off as a fringe movement.

    Er, no. I just wondered why you plucked them from obscurity to support your point. What next, a link to Gardener's World?

    Dunno. Ask RJS as he introduced him to the thread as some sort of whataboutery.

    I think you posted the SDP link Bally. O'Flynn is just the only current member I have heard of. You tell us what the relevance of the SDP is to this thread.

    I mean the other political views of one group, who as far as I know weren't directly involved in the Bristol protest are pretty tangential to this thread anyway.

    The idea that because this group has posted some rubbish, therefore everyone at the Bristol protest or any of the others was a hard left anarchist with unsavoury views on Israel is a one hell of a leap.

    I used the SDP because they are a pretty much inoffensive bunch and in no way could be described right wing or portrayed as some sort of swivel eyed loons. If I had picked a right wing source, I'm sure you or someone else would've just brandished them fascist.
    Never occurred to me that the views would be rejected just because the source was Eurosceptic.
    Mea culpa. I should've known better.

    Again. I find I have to reproduce my post for the benefit of the hard of reading.

    "Mind you, I'm sure those on here who donated already knew what they were buying."

    I never claimed anything regarding the views of anyone involved in Bristol towards Israel or whether they were all anarchists.
    I was drawing attention to the stated aims of the group who had received a great deal of money from donations, some of which appeared to come from members of this forum.

    Perhaps the confusion is amongst those who have donated large sums of money to 'a specific fringe' as you call them, whilst not knowing the aims of said 'fringe'

    You completely missed rjs's reference - which is pretty accurate - to the SDP being a retirement home for ukip rejects. While they're not swivel eyed right wing loons, it's certainly not the SDP you might remember from the good old days. Just ask Rod Liddle.

    Bring back Manc33. At least you could laugh at that stuff.

    The one and only manc33 is alive and well on the CyclingUK forum. If you want to relive the good old days of flat earthing and anti gravity-ing, have a read of the long running 'It's Not Rocket Science' topic in the Fun and Games section. Ah those were the days, pre BloJo, pre Trump, pre Brexsh!t...

    Didn't miss it.
    I replied that I found it curious that he dismissed the article purely because it came from a Eurosceptic source.

    If people find the SDP view unacceptable because of its Euro scepticism hows about a source that is both woke and Europhile.

    Step forward Rick

    "Some wonderful confusion on the right between a western world-wide movement and a specific fringe who have adopted the same name for their own purposes which have little to do with the movement."

    So there we have it. The group in receipt of the dosh is not the force for good, they would have you believe.
    Not often RC and I agree, but there you go. ;)

    What on earth has it got to do with left/right or Euroscepticism?

    I don't understand what that link adds to anything. If you are pointing out that the BLMUK group seem to have some pretty unpleasant and downright stupid ideas, then I'll agree with you there. They seem a pretty suspect bunch and tweeting rubbish about Zionism or how black people should under no circumstances engage or cooperate with the police just makes them look stupid. But so what? There are lots of pressure groups at the edges of larger movements at all points of the political spectrum.
