This is probably the problem that pisses me off most about brexiters, the fact that they've basically made a load of racists think that the UK is full of people like them, and they become more bold, as is exemplified by the fact that I've heard of more racist attacks here in the last few days than I usually hear in a typical six-month period, maybe even less often than that.

Not related to the racism point, but brexit nonetheless:

In which Lauren Southern get victim-blamed by Antifa (and the cops!) in London for rustling their delicate jimmies.

ETA: Yes, I'm well aware of the nature of the game that the Lauren Southerns and Milo Yiannopolouses of the world play... but they still have a point.

Professional troll gets a reaction? She even demonstrably repeatedly lied about her level of involvement in her own video (and we likely don't get to see everything she did) then complains when she gets chased off and her hat shoved in a bin. She said that people punched her but I didn't see any evidence of it, and frankly I don't see any reason to believe her when she obviously lied at least once in order to paint the picture she wanted to paint in that video.

I bet that at virtually any demonstration anywhere in the world one can troll people into reacting angrily. In any civilised country, it's pretty reasonable to assume that anyone at a demonstration is pretty angry about something, so they're easy to troll.

I'm not sure what point you think she has. If she asked a reasonable question to those people and conducted herself in a respectful way and got an unreasonable reaction, that would be a different story. Instead, her opening play was to label everyone present as fascists and telling someone that she thought that they were all a joke. That was just the bits of the video we get to see. Meanwhile she's blathering about freedom of speech as if it's a shield that should stop people from reacting angrily to what she said.

I wonder what you think about Anita Sarkeesian.
