Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
To provide some balance
Today, a group of the usual types are handing out flyers near the Salisbury Hotel to help illegal immigrants avoid apprehension. That is their perogative.
To provide some balance to that, you can do the following to report instances of illegal immigration crime:

Then why do we dial 999 in an emergency?
Why do we have safeguarding services?
I'm guessing you're from Liverpool. Were those who provided evidence during the Hillsborough enquiry "grasses"?

Iris save yourself the despair of trying to reason with someone whose ability to reason has been formulated by smoking grass.

So touching that you are reaching out to all the fascist friends of Tommy Robinson. It's only right that the weakest and poorest people in society should have a jackboot on their necks. By the usual suspects I expect you mean the terrorists who try to take baby formula to starving babies in Gaza. Shouldn't you be hanging flags on lamposts as your day job?

To Leftists, the definition of "fascist" is someone who disagrees with them. They constantly talk as if their binary world view is self evident - one is either a Marxist-Islamist like them or, failing that, a "friend of Tommy Robinson."
But the agitprop doesn't end there: We also learn from our resident scholar that millions of illegal aliens who receive preferential treatment over actual citizens including (but not limited to) free schooling, free housing, free medical and free (but inevitably failing) cultural assimilation--is actually a "jackboot on their necks".
The only jackboot I've seen in action mister was at a synagogue in Manchester worn by someone whose parents love this place so much they named their son "Jihad".
And of course, even though the original post was about the UK, the non sequitur "Gaza" is brought up anyway and we are treated to "Thatcher Thatcher, Milk Snatcher" rehabilitated for 2025. Just as ignorant and inapposite now as it was then.

Jihad was a very common unisex name until 9/11 when understandably it was dropped. It means to strive and is on par with Victor or Grace. I worked with a woman called Isis and her parents named her after the Egyptian god, not the terrorist group.

'Jihad' has a number of meanings and whilst the more innocent one you suggest is one of them, the term is more commonly understood to have a violent meaning ie. to subjugate one's self or others to God's will.
And given what has recently come out about this man's father (celebrating the October pogrom), I know which interpretation was more likely meant when he was named.

No it was simply a very common name for both girls and boys until it stopped being one. One of my great uncles was christened Adolphe 1902. His Jewish parents were not celebrating someone else of that name. What happened in Manchester was terrible enough without pointless speculation.

That's different.
A name can become dubious if associated with a particular individual. As you say, Adolph is no longer common. Similarly, I can't imagine there will be many Axels or Valdos baptised for a while.
Naming someone after a behaviour or action with violent meaning is another story. Someone wanting to name their child Slaughter or 'the one who makes others submit', for example, might rightly expect a visit from the social.

Mark Michaels, I wonder if we could possibly try a different way of conversing/exchanging views with you on HoL website.
You remind me of some U.S. visitors in London who - it turned out - were making arguments from within their own culture and different meanings of terms. Which were inaccurate within British usage.
Alternatively maybe you are playing an enjoyable (to you) game of arguing online. If so I'd prefer not to play. For me, the issues are too important and serious for fun and jollity. But if you want to have a serious and vauable discussion then tossing insults isn't going to achieve it.
So please be honest. For example, a fascist is far from "someone who disagrees" with you, I and other British people who use the term are not so careless. (What Israeli cabinet minister Smotrich means when he uses the word I can't be sure. But his formal position and quoted words suggests that he is decididly serious.)
When you used the words "Marxist" and "Leftist" as some sort of insult, I thought this may have been American usage. As Brits learn when visiting for a while, they are in a different country and have to speak a somewhat different language.
