AIBU that finally people are seeing that the far left are just, if not more, dangerous than the far right. Finally the police are acting against the anarchists, those intent on disrupting our society, our rule of law. The attempts to usurp our institutions. Nearly 900 people arrested now - these people were not there because they care about children going hungry - children are starving around the world - there aren’t the same matches. War is happening round the world, there aren’t the same marches.. these people are disrupters, they are anarchists. https://news.sky.com/story/890-people-arrested-at-palestine-action-protest-yesterday-including-17-on-suspicion-of-assaulting-police-officers-13413938

I think there are a certain type of people who are just attracted to a fight - on the far right you get racist thugs and on the far left you get anti-establishment thugs. You can get peaceful anarchists (generally anarcho-greens) - I guess maybe you can get peaceful racists..

Since the crackdown on football hooliganism basically protests and demos is where these people go to find a ruck. Maybe we should just give them all some wasteland - send them there every Saturday and leave them to it.

I heard a really interesting BBC podcast on football hooliganism it seems they mainly eventually grow out of it

Anarchists can care about children you know Hmm

They can also hijack a situation for their own ends. If they cared about children they wouldn’t be diverting so many of the government’s resources - they would work with them. They would find more constructive ways of helping children. Anarchy and chaos are never the friends of children
