They didn't turn up for a fight though just a peaceful counter protest with no arrests. You sound disappointed there was no trouble. Is your Smurf bloodline mixed with Muppet by any chance?

Not what the polling suggests:

Labour Councillor Ricky Jones, currently the hot topic on X, videoed calling for “Far Right” protestors to have theirs throats slit.

I’d say that’s a slam dunk incitement to violence.

The met are just currently assessing what tier he’s assigned to, before they take action.

I don’t hold much sway with YouGov polls…that said only psychopaths would support violence/ unrest.

In regards to the protests, I would think it would depend very much on where you asked the question.

Sure but then I don't understand your original point because I would say large parts of the media have been critical of immigration numbers. The Daily Mail and The Sun obviously but during the campaign the BBC and Sky were also showing graphs where the number went up drastically in recent years.

I would say the media have been critical of immigration but also critical of the riots, which is also where I think the majority of the country is.

Neither is Starmer. A lower age limit might stop someone being US President but it’s no barrier to scapegoating migrants if and when it’s politically advantageous.

He's been arrested for encouraging murder

A man in his 50s has been arrested on suspicion of encouraging murder for an offence under the Public Order Act, the Metropolitan Police have confirmed.

The arrest comes after Labour councillor Nicky Jones was filmed calling for "cut throats" of far-right protestors.

It has been, old news but Lucy Connolly the wife of a Tory councillor arrested for saying immigrant hostels should be set alight (then complaining about the carnage afterwards). Hopefully they both end up where they belong.

Does Britain really have a far-left thuggery problem? It always seemed to me like centrist panty-wetting whenever their moral hypocrisy was called out as we blindly supported American foreign policy objectives

(Setting aside of course Oxbridge students smashing the windows of their future employers in the banking sector every May Day)
