to think you are utter scum

[NotEnoughTime]

if you attack people who are sitting peacefully eating their picnic in a park?

[Jkslays]

Jesus that’s awful!

[FliesandPies]

EasyAndy101 It would have been a blood bath. The police would have been stretched to the limit and the NHS would have had to deal with the fallout.

And BLM would have got all the blame

[borntohula]

Were these pricks planning on protesting?

@jasjas1973

British Police are too soft, we should use riot police and horses on them..... oh! no sorry, they weren't black so they didn't get that treatment.

Quite.

Free reign for this lot, who are actually a big violent problem. As opposed to the hardline on the largely peaceful BLM demonstrators, but who were DWB (demonstrating whilst black).

No, counter protest. They're EDL or EDL affiliated.

[QualityFeet]

Thankfully some in that shower of shite did tell the instigators to leave them alone. It’s one of those already awful moments that could have ended up so much worse. Absolute bastards.

[peepholepringle]

Absolutely disgusting. You can see they're desperate for trouble.

My late mother had two thugs spit on her and push her off a bench ten years ago in a London park, after hearing her Irish accent. Cops weren't interested. She never really felt comfortable in the park again.

Hopefully this guys are id'd, charged, punished and shamed. I hope those people get to enjoy picnics without fear of that kind of incident again. I know how terrified I'd be if a gang of angry men came up and spat and kicked me, it's not just what happened, it's fear of more happening too.

[worldgonemad2020]

This is terrifying. 😱😱😱😱😱😱 My 12y DC was in HP yesterday with friends. Not letting her go there without an adult anytime soon.

[Jellykat]

Dickheads!
And so are the 14% of MNers who are stating YABU!

[borntohula]

@PicsInRed I should have said counter-protesting. Just wondering exactly what the point of their counter-protest was supposed to be. Pathetic bunch of wankers.

[listsandbudgets]

They weren't protesting - they were just kicking up hell for no reason.. unless there's some kind of Anti Picnic Protest Movement I was hitherto unaware of?

[itsgettingweird]

Fuck me - that is abhorrent.

A group of people all attacking a few sat in a park. When did we start thinking attacking innocent people sat down enjoying the sun was a way to protest against violence or to protest against protests.

indeed.

[TheHighestSardine]

Just gammon faced nazi scum being scum.

I bet they didn't get surrounded by mounted police or kettled, though. Somehow that doesn't happen much with white hard-right shitheads.

[SamSeabornforPresident]

The media (some media) are describing them as anti-anti fascists. So fascists, then.

[MaxNormal]

I'd love to see them all fired out of a fucking airlock.

[MaxNormal]

@Jezebel101 your poor mum, I am so sorry.

[mogloveseggs]

Can't bring myself to watch the video but that's just so awful.

[OhCaptain]

Has Boris called them thugs yet or does he reserve that for black people?

[Nickname21]

knuckle dragging scum and there are people on here defending cunts like them.

[Rocaille]

All good things should be taken away from such people, no NHS services, no access to any benefits, no fire or police if they need them on their side any time. Nothing.

Disagree. That would be very illiberal. But they should certainly face the full force of the criminal law. Totally unacceptable behaviour.

[Drag0nflye]

Jesus Christ. Who are the people who voted YABU? Utter mutants

[Nickname21]

On MN I mean, not this thread.
