OK, my bad. It was nearer to 40% but I imagine that most of us are aware that a lot of this violence/abuse may not be reported or is yet to be, so the number could be higher. In the Bristol riot alone it was two-thirds of people.

Thank you, nearer 40%. And you have no evidence of any further abuse to bulk out this figure. You imagine what many of us may be aware of? I am sorry that is not really accurate auditable data is it? And Bristol? Where does that figure come from?
 
See above. It was widely reported just not to those in a certain echo chamber. Understandably, I guess.

So for those saying we're on the edge of something big, these are the people who will be leading the charge...
If only taking the moral high ground and choosing selective data were a proven formula for winning an argument eh?
 
Selective in what way? Please expand.

I do know though. The elderly getting arrested in support of stopping a genocide are the genuine extremists

An example of selectiveness? Let’s use your second statement then.

Why aren’t the same elderly trying to stop other genocides that are happening on an equal or larger scale?

150,000 deaths in Sudan, 10 million plus displaced as a selective example.
Anyone seen a Sudan flag waver recently?

It's not, I agree, but do you disagree with the premise? It is still 4 in every 10. The Bristol data is in the same article.

I deleted that because I knew it would provide an in for you to change the topic.

Can you please tell me what is selective about it, you said I was 'taking the moral high ground' and being 'selective'? Please back up your claim or rescind it.

Are you going to rescind calling me an extremist? You don't know me, or my views yet you come to a snap judgement because of one post which happened to disagree with something you had posted.
