Counter protestors? Is that what they were there for, to protest that a load of other people were protesting? I saw lots of people being 'proud to be English' and having a ruck with the police, but I didn't see any protests against the Palestinians? What were they doing at the Cenotaph where the Palestinian supporters weren't going to be?
When a bunch of racists decide to have a day out in London, it doesn't make them counter protestors, they're just a huge fight looking for an excuse to happen.

 

Were these "counter protesters" bussed into London from outside. Can't imagine any Londoners being part of this kind group!!

 

Oh dear Os is that the response of a university educated self proclaimed intellectual superpower?

 

There's a shade under 10 million people live in London Ides. They're not a community, just 10 million people living in the same city. I'm sure London has its own share of racists without having to bus any in although this particular bunch of pricks might have been on a day trip

 

Morons.

 

Thanks
May reply at some point
As I said though, not easy to put everyone in boxes is it?

 

I think you’ll find that the March will include different views and will draw in more extreme elements, but the majority will be marching for peace and will want it from both sides

The Hamas connection may or may not be true but won’t represent the majority

You’ll find some people at the Cenetaph with some pretty extreme views too, but again only a minority and shouldn’t distract from the occasion

It’s because you’re a decent human and want what is best for all, but some issues are so difficult to balance.

 

Yes, that's just what happened.

 

So big and brave without his friends that he put himself on the VP wing for his stint inside.

He is without doubt one of the very worst things to come out of this country in the last 20 years.

It's a high bar, Farage, Johnson. The entire cabinet and other dirtboxes vie for the top spot. Yoxspot is a skidmark on society's underwear.

 

Farage and Johnson are pretty unpalatable but even as someone who dislikes them I think it's unfair to put them in the same box as Tommy two names. The man is ****ing vile, and a coward to boot. The vast majority of the EDL that I've met are genuinely some of the thickest people in the country. I don't just mean stupid politically, I mean full on ridiculously low IQ barely removed from animals level of intelligence. The fact Tommeh decided to weaponise that stupidity and profiteer from it fills me with the ****ing rage.

 

I`ve visited the Boy David memorial many times - my Grandad was in the Machine Gun Corps, and I`m very proud of him. I wish I was there to challenge these disrespectful tossers.

 

I think it is perfectly fair to put Bunter and Farage on the same level as Braverman and this guy Robinson. They might have different ways of communication but it is still the same message. All four are equally vile!!

 

if you believe in Welfare, you must believe in taxation and I presume you believe in some sort of sliding scale, so that seems moderate, just a matter of who pays how much
What should the Welfare do though?
Supporting people to work their way to independence rather than keeping them dependent

 

As was my grandfather. A kind gentle man whose family was decimated by WW1.
