That’s beautiful, pointy. You’re so talented.

I saw that. It's awful. I hope she brings charges against those who assaulted her. I bet that "man*" with the stick has previous. Nasty stuff.

*real men don't hit women. Bastard.

Fartage laughing is appalling.

The hair art is fab - how long does it last for @pointythings and how long did it take you to do?!

I'm really actually shocked at that. I hope it hits the news.

Free speech and all that ..... Except when they don't like it. Also see protecting women and girls.

Farage was - once again - lying when he said counter terrorism police had delayed his speech because of threats. West Midlands police confirm they gave no such advice.

I suppose these women were the threat and they used the delay for their boring graphics.

@Spandauer it goes for about 2 weeks, but you can then refresh it. The original took 2 hours, a refresh will take about 45 minutes. The hair regrowing changes how it looks, but it still works.

DD is planning to grow her hair after Halloween (she wants skulls for that) so I'm enjoying my last hurrah. We've been doing this for about 18 months now and I've got good at it. Painting on hair is a whole new skill set.

The only party for VAGW eh 🤬

Oh wow - that is phenomenal. You are so clever 🤩

Hundreds of masked demonstrators dressed in black are stopping traffic getting into the Port of Dover.

“Looked like she was going to do herself an injury”

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Just how can this be allowed to happen? She was attacked and assaulted for free speech - the thing they advocate for.

But apparently of a woman uses “hurty words” she’s fair game for physical assault.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I’m raging <can you tell?!>

Weird, weird men.
i don’t know what they are protesting about but they’ve made themselves look like children, playing dress up special forces.

'stop the boats'?

Ferries going to France

As has already been pointed out the veneer of civility is pretty thin here. The sheer number of them grabbing at her is horrendous and quite obviously unnecessary.

They won’t let people get their ferries?
Thats their protest?
Fucks sakes. what nonsense.

But they didn’t an excellent job coordinating their outfits. The type of men that pretend they were in the armed forces.

The have their black shirts handy

That footage was awful. I hope those people are identified and prosecuted. That poor woman. Farage laughing is disgraceful!! 🤬
@pointythings you are very talented the hair art is fabulous 😻

The suffragettes were often violently (including sexually) assaulted by 'upstanding male citizens' too.

I thought the problem was people arriving on rib boats.

Not ferries leaving 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷‍♀️

And yet we are not allowed to call these people stupid for fear of hurting their little feelings.

They are masked for a reason........

Yy 💯
it’s sickening a woman assaulted by a baying mob happening in plain sight I really hope the police will investigate & why is Farage allowed to get away with making false statements about the police yet again.

Those masks are quite sinister. No doubt intentionally. Some of them would have been doing the crossing for cheap booze and fags, back in the day.

If it didn't make me look like the last potato in the bag, these days, I'd be tempted to go short again, @pointythings -that is beautiful.

I have seen reports the Midlands Police are now investigating the assault, anyone seen this confirmed?

They are masked because they already have criminal records.
We’ve seen it all before.
