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

[ChavvySexPond]

Any Mumsnet husbands off throwing bottles at police horses today?

[countrygirl99]

And I bet they are also ghd ones who call DS2 lovely Finnish girlfriend a Polish bitch and tell her to go back where she came from, but not so politely.

[ssd]

God no

If I knew a man/boy like that he'd have my toe up his arse..

[AlternativePerspective]

Do you also wonder what sort of women are married to the violent BLM protesters? The ones hurling paint at statues and bottles of urine at police officers? FGS why does it have to always end up in someone diverting.

That argument is not dissimilar to when women talk about domestic violence and someone comes up with “but men are victims too you know.”

Any protesters who are violent are obviously despicable, but we’re specifically talking about these protesters.

[Lordamighty]

Really OP? Since when are women responsible for the actions of men?

[SimonJT]

If they have partners they’re likely racist themselves or rulled by their partners fists.

I’m glad I’m not in London today, I’ve taken my son to visit his Grandma. I live in London as do most of my friends, white supremicists and nazi’s have been attacking people having picnics and sitting on grass. My boyfriend went out for a walk and didn’t feel safe when he saw these pricks so he got a cab home.

[AlternativePerspective]

Who said that women were responsible for their actions? Ffs.

Surely it’s not wrong to wonder what kind of person would want to be married to a thug like that?

Why does that imply that the OP thinks women are responsible?

[countrygirl99]

Lordamighty you can wonder what on earth someone sees in a partner, male or female, without holding them responsible for his behaviour.

[Madre77]

They have wives don't get it twisted!. The wives are female versions of them, a walking idiosyncrasy. Hates anyone of colour but doesn't see the ironery about going to foreign countries for months on end to get as dark as possible and rushing out for their favourite take away (curry/jerk chicken/chinese takeaway) I could go on!

[bubbleup]

Ordinary blokes?

DP is an ordinary bloke and if he'd been out doing that today he'd have no home to return to

[PicsInRed]

3 types: stupid, nasty, and terrified.

Why are those men all so pink? Sunblock, gents, and find yourself a nice shady tree.

[unlikelytobe]

Ones that require an air pump and occasionally a puncture repair kit

LOL! First I thought 'what? cyclists?' then I thought oh, owners of blow up dolls. Maybe both!

I think I need a drink now

[Icantrememebrtheartist]

I think a lot of you are wrong.

Look at football hooliganism! Many of those are middle aged, respectable on the surface, married and often have good “respectable/responsible” jobs!

Many are not the uneducated, unemployed “thug” with a criminal record like you would expect

[Tellmetruth4]

Isn’t the leader of Britain First a woman? Jayda Frasen or something similar? She was walking around screaming insults and calling herself a Christian. Woman are just as capable of being extremists as men, look at the National Action terrorist group where a woman was jailed last week for terrorist activities and was going around shouting about killing Jews and praising Hitler.

[Igtg]

When I said that many of them would be ‘ordinary’ blokes I put ‘ordinary’ in inverted commas as many of them are men with jobs and money and families, as other posters have said too. I am also not offering it as a defence.

[RubyFakeLips]

So pink? I'm fascinated how many of them are SO fat!

This has been focal point of our discussion at home and we're a mixed race family. Even I'm surprised this is our take away from the pictures.

[Lynda07]

The sort of women who like tattooed yobs.

[DontStandSoCloseToMe]

The kind of women whose fathers are at the same riots, joined football gangs etc, they either agree or believe 'men will be men' ie every man in my life has been violent, there aren't any other tillers or there aren't any others that would be interested in me, maybe they are scared or maybe they justify by saying to themselves as long as he doesn't hurt me or the children. In s previous role I worked with many women like this but just about racism but all kinds of unacceptable behaviour

[LagunaBubbles]

Why are women responsible for men's behaviour? Are men not responsible for themselves now?

So asking what kind of women are with these men means the OP is saying women are responsible for their men's behaviour? What a load of rubbish. OP is not saying that.

Probably the beer, I suspect most of them are football hooligans using this as an excuse to have a fight.

[Lordfrontpaw]

They were in Glasgow but I think only one nut turned up.

If anyone had touched wellington (or his police cone hat) there would have been all our war.

[NotEverythingIsBlackandWhite]

The women these men are married to have the exact same beliefs as they do
Oh yes, of course, because we all have the same beliefs as our husbands about everything.

Iv been away eating my lovely Chinese so I'm a little late in replying but Iv just seen your last two posts and I thunk I understand what you are trying to say.

Racists are abhorrent but lots of them are living normal lives with normal jobs and kids going to the same normal schools as everyone else so they aren't distinctly separate from us in the way we hope, they are the people we interact with every day we just don't always know it.

Like sexual predators or DV perpetrators, you could see them regularly and never know what they are like behind closed doors.

Is that what you mean?

Scary really.

P.s if that was your point sorry I missed it, I understood your first post differently.

[pigsDOfly]

Oh they're 'thugs' all right. They might wear a suit to go to their offices or whatever but, thugs they most definitely are.

[NotEverythingIsBlackandWhite]

There has been bad behaviour by both sets of protestors. It's not diverting for someone to point that out. Are posters only allowed to post if they agree with the cause you support?
