SubscribeThe law needs changing; you shouldn’t be allowed to demonstrate while totally covered like that – including Muslims and burqas.
If “No terfs on our turf” and “Go ahead and run, you Nazi scum.” aren’t “hate speech” I really don’t know what is. Not that I believe in such nonsense.
The lack of self-awareness of these protestors is astonishing. I look at that photo and read about their behaviour and I’m thinking it is actually they who are the modern day brownshirts. And they doubtless think themselves brave for intimidating innocent people. Yet they cover their faces, like the cowards they are.
Frankly, aside from any offences these crazies are committing, you do wonder if there isn’t a case for sectioning some of them.
Sadly, you should not be allowed in public with face covered etc.
Some jurisdictions did change the law in response to the KKK’s demonstrations. But blue cities are very subjective when it comes to which laws they enforce, depending on who is violating them.
A lot of foot shooting going on here with the second and third article. Radical trans activists and Palestine protestors engaged in eerily similar thuggish terrorist tactics on both sides of the Atlantic. Whatever their cause, these types of tactics aren’t going to help, and they’ll provoke a backlash that’s much larger from the much larger general public who don’t care for these tactics regardless of the cause. The Palestinian protesters are marginally more likely to be successful since, you know, antisemitism is definitely a real thing that exists.
I don’t know why we even feel the need to comment on the EU’s lack of transparency and total hypocrisy anymore. We should comment on the rare instances where it has acted in a democratic, consistent and transparent manner. These are rare events and therefore worth reporting on.
