Totally out of order at any time but as others have said given what happened in Leigh on Sea last week even more so at the moment, it doesn't matter what side of the political fence you sit on incidents like this do not help foster a better atmosphere of less polarity, the downside is more draconian laws and less access to representatives which further disconnect between the people and Parliament, it's good to see that the police acted promptly to prevent further escalation of a situation that could have tuned ugly.
The right not be rushed by a mob has no political right or left leaning it's simply a case of right from wrong, shout from a distance by all means but there are no circumstances where protest needs to get up close and personal in this way.
A lot of what you’ve written I agree with in normal times whereby people and politicians take responsibility for their words and occasionally, actions.
Trouble is politicians (in particular ministers and the PM) don’t take responsibility for their words which indirectly informs people that ‘rules and high moral principles’ are less important than getting where or what you want. That’s a message, in particular, a dangerous message because the nuanced position is ‘do what you like’
Just a reminder of this is the aftermath of the referendum result, desperately close yet, these are the same people who ‘inferred’ public disorder if the result wasn’t seen ‘through’ in its entirety.
Never a mention - ever for the millions who disagreed and a nod to those people to find some middle ground : oh no, all we got was unbalanced views and a ; you lost, we can do what we want now (and they effing did)
Whilst at the same time, Citing public disorder way back then, (a veiled threat by a minister) and now as the lies are exposed (regarding Brexit) and double standards exist regarding lockdown rules (re; Carries mate over for Xmas last year/Cummings et al) it’s no surprise the people are just following the extremely low bar of standards in everyday life IN THIS COUNTRY.
So, given the example being set by our ‘leaders’ I think your post is overly simplistic and requires deeper thought to fully grasp what’s unfolding in this country.
