To think throwing milkshakes over people is disgusting?

So apparently it’s okay to chuck milkshakes over people we disagree with?

Now, I do not like Tommy Robinson, Carl Sargon, or Farage. However, I think that chucking cold food at them, or threatening to, is pathetic. If you disagree with them, then debate them. Take down their argument intelligently. Chucking a cheap milkshake makes you look like a toddler.

I wonder when our society changed to thinking that assault was ok under certain circumstances?

I dont think our society thinks that

“I wonder when our society changed to thinking that assault was ok under certain circumstances?”

I don’t think that.

Alsohuman · 26/05/2019 19:11

I don’t either. Slippery slope.

Nope, we still have Offences against the Person Act 1861.

Perhaps you live in America or Russia?

The police escorted a huge group of masked men to protest against TR. they are called the ‘Muslim Defence League’.
I can’t imagine that they would lead a masked EDL protest anywhere.
I’m sure there’ll be people on here leaping to the defence of this double standard though 🤷‍♀️

Where & when was that then?

That tiny nasty little racist felon thug Lennon has been knocked out of EU elections

by votes.

Lovely. Smile

GiantKitten · 26/05/2019 22:17

I so hope that’s correct!

Projected results I’ve seen for the NW are a triumph of sanity - 3 UKIP, 3 Labour, 2 Con has turned into 2 Brexit, 2 Labour, 2 LD, 1 Con & 1 Green

🤞🏻

Where & when was that then?
Oldham.
Last week.

“Where & when was that then?

Link, please?

PreseaCombatir · 27/05/2019 12:11

here

You can clearly see the police escorting the march, while missiles are being thrown. (Eggs, rocks)
The ‘MDL’ are masked up.

As I said, I can’t imagine the police leading a masked EDL march, can you?

PreseaCombatir · 27/05/2019 12:12

It’s very easy to google.
The police are attempting to deny that they escorted the masked protest, but there’s MANY videos.

PreseaCombatir · 27/05/2019 12:13

BUT sure that there’s Ayer a hell err will come up with a myriad of excuses and reasons as to why this is acceptable, so can’t wait to hear them...

PreseaCombatir · 27/05/2019 12:14

*sure that there’s posters on here

BertrandRussell · 27/05/2019 12:27

Sorry-anything from mainstream media?

BertrandRussell · 27/05/2019 12:30

And not written by that leading light of impartial journalism Cassandra Fairbanks?

PreseaCombatir · 27/05/2019 12:35

You don’t need to read anything. It’s a video, Bertrand, you just need to watch it. Or do you need the MSM to tell you what to think about what you can see with your own eyes?! Lol

PreseaCombatir · 27/05/2019 12:36

You won’t find the videos in the MSM.
Wonder why...

BertrandRussell · 27/05/2019 12:38

Grin Because the camera never lies, does it? As I said-any video or commentary from mainstream or even remotely impartial sources?

BertrandRussell · 27/05/2019 12:39

“You won’t find the videos in the MSM.
Wonder why...“

I wonder why too.

PreseaCombatir · 27/05/2019 12:46

The camera never lies? Seriously? You think the right wing paid the MDL and the police to star in MULTIPLE videos showing the police escorting a masked march of men throwing eggs and rocks and shouting ‘racist scum’ and ‘allah akhbar’?

And you chuck in a little smile emoji to show how hilarious you find your wilful ignorance?

There are none so blind and all that, It’s honestly pathetic.

Where was the MSM reporting of Cologne? Or was that all lies too?

GiantKitten · 27/05/2019 13:04

Oldham was certainly a nasty event.

I see Katie Hopkins in Twitter also chose to use the word escorted, & that you choose to use the word lead.

But I have seen many images of EDL & other demonstrations where they are surrounded by police. Would you use the words escorted & led to describe those? Here are those brave boys in Manchester last October with their police escort Grin

It’s about public safety & preventing violence as much as possible. Do you have a problem with that?

And as for Cologne, if you saw no MSM reporting you must have been in a coma.

To think throwing milkshakes over people is disgusting?
PreseaCombatir · 27/05/2019 13:10

There was NO MSM of Cologne at the time. I know that because I remember the fucking outrage about it, and the questions as to WHY it took so long for it to be reported here.
And I use the word lead, because they were walking in front of them. Ie leading them. Not surrounding them.
Doesn’t matter who said what, you can see it on the camera.

PreseaCombatir · 27/05/2019 13:16

You’re actually proving my point kitten. See how many police officers are there containing that protest. Do you think the people inside that police ring would get away with throwing rocks and eggs at anyone?
If the police surrounded the MDL in the same way, I wouldn’t have a problem.
It’s the double standard, and the political policing I take issue with. The law should be applied uniformly.
Neither group should be allowed to throw shit, and yet one group is. Why is that?

PreseaCombatir · 27/05/2019 13:44

Sigh

Please tell me what verb you would use, if not lead or escorted.
