Harry's Place: they're crazed, fascist bigots and extremists

I truly believe that the cowardly writers at the disgusting hate blog, Harry's Place, are a greater threat to British society than all the criminals and terrorists. This website laughingly tries to pretend that they are left-wing, when all the world can see they are an unprincipled right-wing infiltration into left-wing politics, with all the characteristics of the far right: warmongering, bigoted, intolerant, extreme and deeply opposed to the true liberal left.

They may have started out convincing some that they were a new spin on left-of-centre politics, and not everything they've said is wrong - for example, they memorably dismissed Andrew Gilligan as a Nazi propagandist - but it must have become clear to even the dimmest of bystanders that their vile rhetoric attracts support from the nastiest of right wingers. They proudly allow bigoted comments to remain unchallenged, only pausing to 'moderate' if a comment undermines the rubbish they gleefully produce.

Their latest outrage is in yet another rabid rant against the East London Mosque, which in the comments section one particularly nasty person ('Lamia') describes as a "shithole". No danger of the singularly disgusting bigot, 'Lucy Lips', moderating that comment on the most popular place of worship for thousands of ordinary Muslims in Tower Hamlets. For it is 'Lucy Lips' who contributes the most disgraceful slur by describing the wonderful Neil Jameson of Citizens UK as a "scumbag". Why? Because he defended the good work of the East London Mosque.

I'm pleased to see Andrew Boff pointed out to 'Lucy Lips' that Neil Jameson is: "a very good person who I’m betting has done more for humanity than all your collected diatribes". Too right! Andrew may come from the wrong side of the political spectrum, from my point of view, but he has always struck me as a decent person who puts integrity before political advancement - I only wish he wasn't a Tory! He's not afraid to stand up for the oppressed against the extreme bigots that have capitalised on the post 7/7 vilification of Muslims. And see how the Harry's Place regulars pour out their venom on him, just as they do on anyone who says the least positive thing about Muslims' leading institutions. Neil Jameson is an inspiring, dynamic person who works with all faith groups, grass-roots community organisations, trade unions and others to help people in our communities who need help the most. His work on the Living Wage is an achievement that has benefited thousands of Britain's poorest people.

Lucy Lips and her vile Harry's Place cohort of extremist bigots offer the world only hate; Neil Jameson and his associates offer hope.
