Meanwhile, the vast majority are just trying to make ends meet, pay bills, look out for their families against all threats and are somewhat bewildered by the extremists on all sides of politics and religion. T'is all.

T'is all. That vast majority wanting to make ends meet and get on with their lives include a great many from minority ethnic groups and the right aren't willing to let them do that, the left don't behave like that and it annoys me when people try to make out they're as bad as each other, the left are often idealistic and naive but their motives are not like those on the right, just for the record I consider myself just left of centre.

Protests that turn into riots are all the same whether you support one cause but not the other. None are a representation of any groups in society who just want to be left alone for their own personal struggles and not wanting to be used and manipulated by any fringe group.

I can't remember the left trying to set buildings on fire where people are living but I was talking about motivation.

In a competitive field the leader in the idiot of the riots competition is the bloke who tagged Northamptonshire Police in on his tweets calling for people to set fire to asylum hotels. 3 years 2 months.

I do like the Government's response on this. Very much "you've had your action, now here are your consequences". It's almost like having grown ups in charge rather than a feral bunch of sugar crazed toddlers. Amen to that. First thing I saw this morning was a headline about government preparedness for more rioting. Preparedness. It just makes you double take. Holding COBRA meetings and readying 6,000 coppers. Facing a crisis head on. More of this please.

”Self, party, country.” Sorry, that was the last lot wasn’t it?

That idiot ex Labour Councillor also wants banging up for his horrific comment about cutting the throats of the far right.

Huge differences in tone. And unless you lack any level of objectivity it's totally disingenuous to suggest that a bunch of lefties throwing some statues of slavers into the dock is somehow comparable to people setting an asylum centre on fire and walking around literally looking for Asian people to beat the shit out of. You could argue that they're both wrong but there's zero argument on the wrongness of trying to literally kill/hurt people. I don't understand why you, and some others, desperately look around to equivalence everything. I don't understand the motive in it mate with the absolute utmost of respect.

Possibly i do it to try to redress the balance of the left wing comments of the majority on this board. I cannot follow the left on all subjects like many on here do and like many people who could never go into politics for the reason they agree with both sides depending on the subject. I,d suspect a big tory supporter might think the same way by not supporting their party line on everything.
