    Under a banner that read ‘Reform should be more radical’, he argued that subjects of the British Empire shouldn’t necessarily be welcome in the UK.

    As a crowd gathered behind him, he said: ‘All of you who throw water are cowards. You don’t actually want to fight for what you believe in.’

    . . . That was when he was kicked to the floor before his phone was smashed and his camera and banner were stolen.

    . . . Eventually, a Black man he had been debating with steps in to protect him.

    . . . Moffitt also hinted that he would return to the same spot for further debates on ‘remigration’ – the forced return of migrants and their descendants – but next time would bring a ‘team of lads’ for security.

      You missed the best quote from this little piss stain. “One responded: ‘I’ll fight you, b****’, before telling Moffitt to get a job. He said he had one, but was fired from McDonald’s for his political views.”

        Having worked in McDonald’s I can guarantee that he was actually fired for been lazy and difficult to work with. If you just do the job and don’t mount off you can have whatever political view you want.

          The beauty of capitalism.

          We don’t care if you’re a nazi. As long as you make us money we could literally not give less of a shit.

        Fuck me, to get fired for your views at McDonald’s you must have really been an obnoxious little cunt.

        The idiot, even after working in the hospitality sector, does not realise that this whole sector depends on the immigrants, among others. He is probably the kind of idiot that goes to a curry house after an anti-immigrant march.

      Takes a special level of suicidal to go to a city with a location called The Curry Mile and say British subjects shouldn’t be welcome.

        There are still subjects knocking around. Indians and Irish born before 1949, for instance. There are 17,000, of which 15,000 have right of abode in Britain.
