41% of Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage's followers who got arrested at the Riots last year had previous for Domestic Abuse.

But apparently it is immigrants who are the problem and not your friendly patriotic wife beater.

I share your reservations. Question: when you speak of the β€œthey” who decided what tracks to include, or the design, or whether to involve Tony, who exactly are β€œthey”?

I think it’s no bad thing in the long run. Us Scots like to pretend that racism doesn’t exist north of Carlisle.

Reform coming a strong 3rd may well end our complacency and lead to us meeting the racists head on.

Gail Ann Lovely Dorsey (to give her her full name) is always humble but her work on Outside & Reality tours was exceptional.

Bigger question is the lack of willingness of other editors to run with this case?
