Far right protesters are mindless thugs. That's why they will attack the police or anyone else who gets in their way.

Because they are hate filled idiots and don’t have the brains to do anything other than strut their hate filled Bodies into fighting Anyone or anything with a different thought to themselves
ilovecheese’ are you always a lady of understatement *they do seem somewhat agressive so would you call a fighting tiger a little bit naughty ???

So why are the far left attacking veterans with bottles and flares in Newcastle at the moment.

Both of the fars are capable of thuggery, to not acknowledge this is an act of political blindness

The police are often between a rock and a hard place during these demonstrations - from whatever political standpoint. If they come down too hard, they can sometimes escalate the situation and face accusations of brutality; but if they stand back and leave things to develop, this often reduces the violence, but leaves them open to accusations of condoning the cause or allowing too much leeway, e.g. the Colston statue demonstration (which I think they got right).

The police are often seen as the enemy when they are trying to control a demonstration, and it does not matter what the political affiliation of the marchers is.

They are far right. It’s what the far right does. Always have.

Maybe some of them have been in trouble with the police before, they do seem somewhat aggressive.

I suspect that they just get fired up and will attack anyone/anything that appears to be getting in their way.

One would have thought that far right protesters would not be anti police. Why can’t they have a peaceful protest?
