To wonder what sort of women are married to those blokes doing Nazi salutes at the cenotaph today?

Any Mumsnet husbands off throwing bottles at police horses today?

The men I mean not the women!

LordFrontPaw Well excuse me for getting the wrong monument/statue.
Well, there's a reason why certain people talk about 'the cenotaph' in this context. It's so much more powerful to provoke outrage at the vandalism of a memorial to honour the dead, rather than the vandalism of a statue of a man that most people have never heard of. As I said, facts are important.

And she wasn’t ‘asking question’ she was nipping at them like some self appointed social warrior.
That's one opinion. I watched the - extremely short - video that was circulating and saw a young woman asking why some placards had been removed, but then i tend not to get hysterical about 'social warriors'.

[Lordfrontpaw]

She was being nippy and either she or someone else was recording them (asking to see their faces) to somehow ‘shame’ them. I’m not hysterical- I just don’t like how people think it’s fine to record someone to post it on social media with the intention to cause them embarrassment or a pile on.

That was funny, made me belly laugh.

Facts matter

Ah, @BaileysforBreakfast - facts don’t matter in the face of ingrained prejudice 🙄

[Helmetbymidnight]

according to the racists on my local paper- 6 people were stabbed by blm, one guy got his throat slashed but the msm wont report it. plus lee rigby. no evidence for their claims, no reasoning with 'patriots'

they are the thickest of the thick.

Exactly. And last time I looked 'being nippy' wasn't a crime.

Do you realise how ironic this sounds? You are talking about a young woman who was recorded and subsequently broadcast on social media (albeit by someone from 'the other side') in order to shame her/cause a pile on.

[Lordfrontpaw]

I didn’t say it was a crime - it was a comment within a discussion about someone trying goad people on camera to what end? And we know when was generally out vandalising things - people trying to stir which got these idiots out to ‘protect the statues’.

[Lordfrontpaw]

Her friend was recording it though wasn’t she - telling them to look at the camera and get their faces. I’m sure she thought she would look the hero.

And yes I get the irony that she ended up on the receiving end of the crap. As I said - no it’s not ok to record people to plaster on social media to get a pile on.

Plenty of women have similar views. I've met a few of them.

Yes, and you se their posts on mumsnet

Mrhodgeymaheg, I think you hit the nail on the head there. I hope they didn't, she might burst!

I feel your pain and your pride! It’s also hard when your kids are telling their Dad they don’t want him to go to work as they know he’s been called in to work the protest, they’ve seen the London footage from last weekends protests and they’re scared he’ll get hurt. It’s heartbreaking. But yes, even without the protests it’s a daily battle of being spat at, verbally abused etc. etc.

Unhappy ones.

You reap what you sow.
