"Antifa, short for "anti-fascist", is a loosely organised movement of primarily far-left activists."

My, how the Overton Window has shifted at the BBC if being anti-fascist now makes you "far left"

Trump orders deployment of troops to Portland and authorises 'full force'

The president says the latest move to send troops to a major US city is "necessary" to protect immigration detention facilities.

@statsguy The BBC are being very annoying. They are talking about this as if an 'antifa' movement even exists. They are repeating Trump's ridiculousness as if it were normal. They could at least point out that there is no particular trouble in Portland ... They're not even reporting that the mayor has emphasized this very strongly. What's got into the Beeb? Has Trump threatened someone with something?

I wonder, do you remember when Cameron put his people at the top of the BBC, and they filled the middle ranks with people like them?
