[SpineyNorman]

Not sure what you mean there - unless I'm MI5sing something?

[Deareg]

      Mrs Magpie Why didn't you just do a search? It's not very hard, a bit like using Google. You would then see it's gone, and has been gone since your request.

      Mrs Magpie Other posters have worked it out as you posted your request for all to see. You did request it should not be for publication, but you publicly published it yourself, which clearly we couldn't prevent you from doing short of taking your computer away from you before you posted it. We don't have that level of clairvoyance or power.

2. donal macintyre Dear Sir
   in relation to the chat and forum involvng me on your website I would like to advise you that it is both libelous and dangerous. I would ask you to respectfully take it offline. It has already led to an escalation of threats against me which I have passed onto the Police. I request you to remove the thread please.
   This is not for publication.

Oh yeah urban75 is responsible for people wanting to batter him? If that is Donal- you are a fuc*ing weasel of a journo.

 

[Red Storm]

LOL

 

[past caring]

Anyway, I would urge posters to refrain from posting stuff that could see this thread put into quarantine (as it has been once previously) or deleted.

 

[past caring]

Mind you, that said.....

1. Mrs Magpie
   
   He doesn't appear to stick around long enough to read any replies, or notice any moderator activity complying with his requests. There's not a lot we can do about that.
   Do we know this is really Donal MacIntyre? I notice he can't spell libellous which surely points away from him being a bona fide journalist.​

2. Mrs Magpie
   
   Plus his openly publishing things he wants to be kept secret point towards him being either an attention-seeking imposter or not the sharpest knife in the cutlery drawer.​

   Actually, I think it's the latter. I have cast my mind back to when I spent an afternoon with Donal MacIntyre because of one of his fuck-ups, publicly identifying a vulnerable young homeless person on national TV. Talking to him wasn't on a level with a conversation with Sir Isaiah Berlin. Nowhere near.​

How do we know it's actually Donal McIntyre?

For all we know the fearless investigative journalist de jour had his lappy nicked after lurking around some dark alley in Brixton for a week (again), and the light-fingered swine responsible has compounded the larceny by posting - POSTING, dammit! - under Sir Macca of Madeitup's name.

From the sounds of things Urban gets lots of libel threats so they probably can't be arsed with the problem of keeping the thread up.

I don't think the thread was particularly important anyway, unlike this thread.

 

[fiannanahalba]

It was important because of the overlap into anti fascism in the North West today.

Fair enough. Don't know something was happening today.

Is there anything written on a thread about today?

 

[The39thStep]

Speaking of anti fascism in the North West today which group is the priority for them ?

Is it the BNP with 41 candidates
EDP with 15
BFP with 5
NF with 2

or NWI, EDL?

The NWI are quite openly fascists.

 

[Red Storm]

The NWI are quite openly fascists.

There are also about 6 of them.

 

[SpineyNorman]

There are also about 6 of them.

I don't think that's true actually, IIRC most of Barnsley EDL went over to the NWI and that was a fair size group, loads of BNPers went over when the party went to shit in the area.

Agree they didn't ought to be a priority for antifascists given the list of candidates The39thStep posted though.

Well they don't bother doing much do they.

 

[SpineyNorman]

I've not been paying much attention tbh, vaguely remember them doing something against a stunt or summat UAF did but that was about a year ago. I basically agree they're essentially irrelevant, esp. when the BNP are standing in that many wards; we shouldn't overestimate them. But we shouldn't underestimate them either. They might have disintegrated, certainly not heard much from them lately, but I'll leave it till the end of the football season to make that assessment - when there's no matches to go to they might see a boost to numbers/increased activity.

 

[Pickman's model]

nor do most anti-fascists in all honesty.

WTF i mean these days as in the recent past, the present and the future. 32CSM and its head honcho in Manchester are involved, or at least they give the public impression of being involved in anti fascism in this period while making films with Donal MacIntyre. Its an issue i think, dont you?

I thought you meant today.

Yeah is an issue however the thread wasn't much of a loss was it? Another one can easily be started up again when something new happens.

This thread however contains so much information now it would be a shame to loose it. In contrast with the MacIntyre one. Which was the point I was making...
