They are criticising Trump because they are progressive and they look for any chance to criticise him. The BBC website takes numerous opportunities to push a progressive agenda...on general taxpayer money.

Calling these videos 'unverified' is amusing. It's just another apologist 'get out of jail' card. I've watched plenty of videos like those. It's not until you hear the sound of a homosexual or opponent hitting the pavement from a roof that words like 'unverified' become amusing....yeah mate, give you name and address when you post that stuff...thanks.

No one is saying these videos are from Britain, but I find it hard to justify censoring the truth about the excesses of religion from the general public.

Is it wise for the 'leader of the free world ' to retweet stuff from Britain First?

Again, I do agree that people will jump on any reason to criticise Trump, but in this case, I don't think there's a defence to be made - as I said, consider your reaction if this was Corbyn. It's moronic behaviour by someone in such a position.

I don't think it's amusing to call them unverified; I'd say it's correct - you can't even tell if the people in these videos are Muslim - they are just an assortment of random violent encounters which have been assigned a caption to support an agenda - for someone who sites evidence and sources quite meticulously on here to suggest that these videos are indicative of anything is quite surprising.


I think you're overarching points are correct in the 'over-criticism' of Trump, and the 'over-protection' of Islam, but I don't think either are particularly relevant here.

Well, obviously we don't agree I regard points in your last paragraph as being evidenced and seen in this piece.

As for sources....well, there is a point if we had to regard Twitter as a court of law but that's not how I see Twitter nor Trump.

Trump is Trump, he isn't required to fit anyone's conceptions of how a president should act. He gets elected or he doesn't.

Tell me, do you regard the unverified videos of the last Syrian chemical attacks as having no worth? As something that should be kept from the public?

Are those videos of IS throwing supposed homosexuals off of roofs as having no worth because they are unverified.....should they be kept from the public?

Surely you understand that the nature of many of these videos means they are unverified. You either believe them or don't.....usually using context and number of them.....but certainty is for the deluded.

Fine by me, there's nothing in those videos that Islamic radicals aren't doing regularly.....or wouldn't want to do if they had the chance.

I'd start off by saying that by no means am I arguing that these videos should be 'kept from the public' - just because something isn't being retweed by the POTUS, it doesn't mean it's being hidden from the public; there is a bit of a range between those two extremes.

The video of the Syrian attacks is an interesting comparison and one I had not considered - having said that, I think the key difference is you know exactly what you are looking at and where/when it took place (context) - as I said above, random videos of violence where one of those involved happens to have brown skin are not really showing anything as you have no idea if religion is even involved in the incident. Sure, there are some where it's very obvious (like the ISIS on the roof one you mention), but there are many on that particular Twitter page which are not at all, and many where the caption Britain First have attached to it has been proven to be entirely incorrect.

Of course the nature of these videos is unverified, but then my gripe is not at all with the existence (or indeed circulation) of the videos themselves. My gripe is with someone in Donald's Trump's position of influence tweeting inflammatory content with no relevant information or research shared, and without any sort of verification - it's astonishingly naive.

He's a President who's spent large parts of his term ousting 'fake news', and yet here he is broadcasting information which fits that description perfectly - that deserves criticism.

It doesn't need biased or unbiased press reporting to realise the bloke is a Grade A f*cking moron. Just listening to him speak is enough for any rational person to come to that conclusion.

It's a totally valid criticism to point out that Trump is a hypocrite......he lies every day. He's also lied about every day but nevertheless...nothing worse than he would do.

America choose between him and Clinton and it was basically tied....he gets in on the states' votes system they have.

Should he retweet this stuff.....well, I'm fine with it but I recognise your point about the POTUS position.....am I wrong to find the reactions against him a bit amusing...what can I say...guilty as charged.

Still, one of the few areas I agree with him is in recognising the threat from radical Islam and being willing to keep it relevant and find ways to improve immigration.

You say we know about the Syrian chemical attacks and roof murders are probably true.....well....yeah we do..It's hard to fake that stuff..and that's how I view these videos because nothing in them hasn't been seen before.

Could they be faked....yeah.....probably not though....but perhaps that will come out.

I still can't get my head around that the leader of the free world retweeted a convicted fascists video of unverified Islamic attacks , thus helping promote an islamaphobic group, Britain First to his 4 million followers.


If he ever comes here, he should be nicked for inciting racial hatred.

I'm genuinely struggling with both your views on this. The BBC is one of the greatest institutions in the world, let alone this country. It's not perfect, but what is your alternative?

Let's hope he doesn't retweet a vine of someone in a red and blue scarf setting off a firework at a football match...

John Oliver's team produced a tweet by just accepting whatever predicted word came up next on their iPhone. It made far more sense than many of Trump's statements. At least the iPhone knows "covfefe" isn't a word. [Link]

I'd say you inspire quite a lot of racial hatred yourself.

I say 'Britain first' as well.....haven't murdered anyone though.

But hey....'Britain First'....must be evil......look...a mad man said it before murdering an MP.

How about all the Islamic radicals who shout 'Allah Akbar'.....that means, 'god is great' and comes from the Islamic religion.

Funny....you never make that connection do you.

Perhaps it's because not everyone who says that is a religious nutter looking to murder others. It's said all the time in the religion.

No one in Britain first has killed anyone as far as I know.....no more than in any other political party anyway.
