I have some sympathy with him here, although the group does not actively promote violence many of their members do.

A Pyrrhic victory by Hope not Hate methinks. The only winners (as ever) are 'm'learned friends'! Here's Nigel's statement in full:-

I followed the musings of this group on social media and there were many veiled references to the use of violence such as "take direct action" and "drive the Nazis into the sea" and also more specific advice. I complained to the moderator/s about it and to give them due credit they solved the problem by blocking me reading it.

Funny, I don't ever recall UKIP or Mr Farage advocating violence against anybody?
But the fact is that Farage has been physically attacked or abused by people of the same or similar ilk to Hope not Hate and needs security wherever he goes. One example being that weird woman in Thanet with the pink/blue hair ( nice! ) Bunny la Roche or some name similar to that ( probably real name Edna Scrubbs!? )

You seem to have got the wrong end of the stick John, the reference was about street thugs from the far left and right being different sides of the same coin.

a lot of thee people turn out the same, esp when they get older - no surprise to see young Cobo commie types turn into shaven headed old men looking for a punch up down the Bingo hall - too right
