They were protesting EDL. EDL have a fascist element. I don’t know what you are finding so difficult. Where’s the problem?
Unless you mean it could happen that someone gets labelled a fascist, when they are not. That didn’t happen. EDL have very questionable opinions.
A solid victory for...
Well quite . They somehow think someone’s human rights being upheld diminishes their own human rights . Or something. Who knows what / if they’re thinking :-)
Yes. If you’re a human, you have human rights. Why would it not be for “both sides” as you so curiously phrase it? What”other side” is there? You’re either human or you’re not.
A very small price to pay to reinforce our human rights. I’m sure most will agree.
You benefit from this and if you find yourself caring about something enough to protest you may well be grateful for their efforts.
A fellow human with the capacity for empathy, sympathy and an interest in other people and their welfare. Jesus wept. Are we getting so PC now that calling a fascist a fascist is grounds for offence. Get a grip man.
I agree. I’m not sure how the police thought they were ever going to justify ignoring one of our most sacred human rights.
The Met police force is allegedly deeply, institutionally racist so I can just imagine the sort of treatment people protesting EDL were subject to.
