Sensitive content of violence.

Apologies if you've no access to instagram. Reform supporters are being physically violent. Why on earth are these videos not in the headlines and the conference immediately shut down as a crime scene?

A sub-sector of easily manipulated, not very bright young men rampaging through the streets railing against ‘the foreigners destroying our country’ .. looks uncomfortably like Germany of the early 1930s and we all know how that went.

it needs dealing with now.

It's only violence against women, caught on camera, with the perpetrators clearly identifiable, especially if their names are written down in party conference documents.

So you can't expect anything to be done when the victims are women. Even women on this site were victim blaming, asking 'what she did she do before [recording started] to deserve that'.

I very much doubt anyone will ever be prosecuted for this, a clear and recorded assault, and it is horrifying.

It is horrifying. Who on earth is supporting this party?
