So who are the knuckle draggers now ?

[youngmafbog]

Many on this site are keen to accuse anyone on here who has centre right views as thugs and knuckle draggers.

Well, after the riots yesterday, by leftie activists, I think we all know who the knuckle draggers are.

Looks like its ok for the left to smash everything up if they dont get their way. And, why only 35 arrests, is this the lefty right on police commanders having their snide bash at the Tories too?

So come on all you lefties, defend you courageous brothers' actions.

Sorry for my post youngma, but I had constructed it before I saw yours.

Agree with everything you say, and it will be interesting to see how the Lefties are going to address this.

Is that a Nazi salute I see?

[jackthehat]

If it is, it's the campest one I've ever seen.............

If your going to try and make a point at least be sure of your ground.

By the By the people on the top of the Millbank building came from that hive of left wing activity Cambridge,

[Gromit]

Never really made a distinction. The far right and the far left are as bad as each other.

[sandyRoe]

It's more likely that agents provocateurs from the far right hi-jacked the protest. The actions of a few political activists smeared the legitimate protest.
And why were there so few police at Millbank? I'm thinking Reichstag Fire.

So there was a lot of pushing and shoving and windows got broken where are all the pictures of the victims of the "violence" with blood streamig down their faces?

Compare and contrast with the very deliberate racist violence perpertrated by right wing thugs on people who's only crime is to be the wrong colour.

Jake, to be fair, there were shots on the news of a copper with blood all over his face, and also a clip of a police medic being attacked by a group as well.

the Tories are upset about not getting enough policing despite paying protection money, whereas Nick Clegg (who has broken more promises) has:

While Tory headquarters suffered the brunt of the violence, Liberal Democrat headquarters in nearby Cowley Street were not targeted. "This is not what we pay the Met commissioner to do," one senior Conservative told the Guardian. "It looks like they put heavy security around Lib Dem HQ but completely forgot about our party HQ."

[Loosehead]

Come on YMB you know the rules, when the lefties do it it's legitimate protest against a totalitarian state!

[jake-the-peg]

OK but do you not think there is some irony in a bunch of politicians who supported the Iraq war with the thousands upon thousands of civillian deaths that were its result queuing up to condemn this before running off to the cenotaph?

[youngmafbog]

Jake, reckon that should be in the other post on Armitice day.

Yes, well aware of it Looshead. And it certainly seems true, just look at Jakes post. So its ok to do £1M of damage so long as you are a leftie. Quite how a protest compares to the Iraq war is beyond me.

And they were known Marxists not right wingers.

You have a point there jake, but I thought you might have included Afghanistan, at least we did get rid of a monster in Iraq.

Also I notice you did not include the deaths of the service men and women, especially on this day of all days.

Is this not the 'conspiracy theory' of all conspiracy theories.

[Gromit]

My favourite conspiracy theory over this is that the Police let the Tory HQ get trashed, so that the planned cuts in police personnel might not be as severe.

If Thatcher taught us anything, it is that you need the backing of the boys in blue when the population start to revolt against your mad policies.

[Booldawg]

from the footage I've seen the police were pretty restrained. no doubt some net trawler will post a variety of clips to prove otherwise.

There would have been a picture of a dead body if that fire extinguisher had connected with anybody jake.

How can you tell when a politician is lying....?
