Protesting is getting dangerous.

Boston was a decent example of a (thousands) mass of peaceful folks with maybe 25-50 folks like you describe. Beyond effective getting the group the unwelcome message who left early under police escort. Boston was wrong time and place for the extreme group to hold a rally.
So the First Amendment is now time and place dependent?

Absolutely agreed however these guys were quite effective and even got acknowledged by POTUS in his rally they were protesting at. Clearly worked.


Can't ignore them as the media constantly puts them out front! With all the very real situations we are in it would be great to ignore them.

I'm not quite sure exactly what it is but it's being driven by a lot of angry people, shrieking hysterical arguments, who are determined to get what they want and bugger anyone that disagrees with them.

There's a demonstration against Brexit being organised in Manchester. I'm pondering whether I ought to go. Part of me thinks I ought to attend given that Brexit is probably the stupidest act of national self-harm we have embarked on since Suez. I don't give a stuff that democratically 'they won'. A 51.8 to 48.2 result, is a mandate to leave things exactly as they are because there's no agreed way forward. It's not a mandate to create chaos which will take decades to resolve. However I suspect it will get very ugly because our right wing Brexit believers have always thought that political discourse starts and ends will giving someone a good kicking.

Guess I'm going to have to decide how brave I am. If I do go, I've definitely going to give 'the Crown Jewels' some protective padding to avoid the fate of the guy in the clip!



So do you only have an issue with Democracy when you don't get what you want?

The EU is a development of Nazi economic planning for a post WW2 Europe after they expected to win.

It is not in the interest of the UK.

The EU and Politicians have been pretty successful in brain washing millions in the UK that the EU is beneficial to the average Britain.

You have to ask where the average failed UK Politician goes after Westminster?

Oh thats right, they head the corrupt EU.

Consider Neil Kinnock.

Consider an unelected and unaccountable organisation having more power than the democratically elected Government of a Country.

And pleass tell me when the EUs Accounts were last signed off?

Actually thats a trick question, they have never been signed off.



I think you just proved my point. Another loony Daily Express reader that thinks the 'evil' EU is a Nazi-inspired conspiracy and that anyone who disagrees has been 'brain-washed'.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel’s work was the very foundation of the collectivist/socialist ideology, and it inspired Karl Marx during his writing of The Communist Manifesto. Hegel was an avid statist who believed that the collective must be ruled and directed by centralized governance and that all individualism should be sacrificed for the greater good.

In his dialectic theory, Hegel conjured a strategy by which the establishment elites could control the masses through deliberately created division. To define the Hegelian dialectic method simply, the ruling body must first trigger a problem or crisis that causes the citizenry to react with fear and demand a solution. The rulers then offer a solution, which they had already predetermined before they had started the crisis; this solution would usually entail more power for the elites and less freedom for the citizens."

None of this protesting is spontaneous; it is all planned by ANTIFA and other anarchists, and supported by wealthy socialists.
