To be fair, it's often the same men. They almost always have some form of previous.

His Twitter account is pure racist filth.

Hmmm. Does depend on what he means. Affect here could refer to a psychological response.

Totally. I got the screenshot from a post by Sunder Katwala, who reported the post but got told it didn't violate any Twitter rules.

Maybe they'd count as "non-crime hate incidents" these days...

No idea. His Twitter account is pure violence.

It's not just flags.

This man has done prison for drug dealing. On release, he was convicted of driving without insurance.

Of course, but the population projections are close to meaningless.

In which case, add the post makers clear, emigration and immigration will be even bigger issues

Trouble with these sorts of projections is they are unsophisticated and do not take account of what could be particularly important structural factors.

In 2100, climate change might well have made Pakistan, DRC and Nigeria all but uninhabitable.

I assume you don't think these posts cross any legal line? Because it's not difficult to work out who "Christian" is.

It's too late anyway. Should have turned it on three months ago. It'll never get warm now.
