Massively so, fucking idiots destroying their own surroundings. There is no excuse for that, but often in riots people destroy their own amenities. It happened in the Brixton riots and the Toxeth riots. What usually happens in these situations, is people in power look at what the...

Yes, I agree, but from what the policeman said, it goes someway to explaining why we are seeing big groups of Muslims running around city centres with no police in the vicinity. There is also the video out there of another policeman telling a big group of Muslims to leave their weapons in...

I don't think that the policeman came accoss very well in that interview. .Probably orders from higher on up and just following the line, He downplayed a racist attack in my opinion and because many had arms, it could have ended up a lot worse.

The reason is, the right wing were getting all the media attention they deserved and we could clearly see the images and videos on the British media. Police were engaging and arresting the culprits and they are being dealt with. The tooled up Muslim gangs have hardly any media attention on the...

I am all for Putting TR and fascists behind bars, but surely if you are against racism, you will condemn big groups of hundreds of tooled up Muslims attacking lone white people? There is plenty of video evidence of that too.

A small sacrifice to pay.

Agree with this.

As long as the rules are the same for everyone and the police are following the guidelines, I have no problem with that. I don't want to see police hitting protesters, when they already have been restrained, or confronting some protesters with riot shields, but running away from other...

So the Romanian gypsies in Leeds attacking police, burning police cars and busses shouldn't be treated the same by the police? What about the Islamic demonstration outside Rochdale police station threatening violence, if the people who had attacked the police in Manchester airport weren't...

A policeman hitting a person while he is being restrained is ilegal and can't be defended, whatever has gone on before

But you are making that up as you didn't hear it yourself. What we can see is police hitting demonstrators after they have been detained.

If I went on a forum full of right wing people they would say I am wrong about most things too. I only have contempt for far right politics and support a just inclusive society. We don't get that my making the facts suit our political ideology. We get it by being just and tolerant and having...

There can never be an excuse for the police to indiscriminately arrest a protester who is protesting lawfully and even less of an excuse for police violence, when they are being restrained by several officers and showing no resistance to being arrested.

what I am saying, is that I want all protesters to be treated the same by the police and the law. Surely that is progressive politics?

I don't want to put up videos from the marches, but police hitting and arresting innocent old people is indisputable. If you need what you have between your ears to change what happened, feel free, but we will get nowhere like that.

I think the Labour Party have a golden opportunity, to stay in power for years. The Conservative party were highly incompetent. Labour have made a decent start, eventhough I don't agree with backtracking on promises made before the elections about pensions.

There were quite a few older people targeted and arrested, some with violence against them from the police, at the Downing Street march and many other people who were arrested for just being there. I am against what they are demonstrating about, but also against police beating protesters, who...

I can't tolerate racists, but that doesn’t mean I should interprate the facts to fit in with my political ideals.

I am not going to defend right wing extremism, but at the same time I will not allow my own political ideals, to make me blind to the evidence in front of me. By doing that you end up with people with entrenched points of view, hate towards other people and lying to yourself. It would be...

It is a valid point then and can be substantiated by video evidence.
