No I'm not making excuses for them at all. I condemn them full stop.

But don't you question what or who is behind them and how they are seemingly able to post with impunity, despite all the technology our law enforcement agencies have to counter such acts. If not you should do.

Is there an insinuation here that this is some sort of conspiracy and isn't as it seems?

In that case they shouldn't have brought the referendum in the first place if the judgement of the people cannot be trusted. They shouldn't have made a commitment to abide by the referendum result, and they certainly shouldn't have invoked article 50 making the referendum legal.

I don't like referendums for the simple reason they fly in the face of the way democracy works in this country. This mess was probably inevitable given that 68% of the constituencies voted to leave, 70% of the MPs campaigned to Remain, the leader of the Government overseeing Brexit was a remainer, and the leader of the opposition voted to leave.

You really couldn't make it up.

They probably shouldn't have done a referendum. Complex issues should be solved by people who spend their time trying to understand and figure them out. That goes for almost all referendums.

I can honestly say that I didn't see any of what you speak of. What I saw were people politely exercising their right to demonstrate as indeed you did at the weekend.

However my wife has just told me that Tommy Robinson and his thugs were also there which I wasn't aware of. They are just scum. Sadly the laws in this country allow such people the right to demonstrate just as much as the next person.

One can only hope that any reasonable person would understand that those thugs do not represent the average Brexiteer. I didn't see what you saw yesterday but I didn't watch it all day. I didn't even know they were there never mind dominate the proceedings. If Jon Snow was specifically referring to Tommy Robinson and his gang when making those comments, I can understand his impartiality and I take back what I said. If he was referring to the average Joe Blogg then my views stand.

I think he was mate. Police in full riot gear battling with EDL into the night.

Not what you want to see. Organisers need a slap allowing the far right to take centre stage.

That is what I focussed on. Why were they permitted a platform? If you are sharing your political showtime with bigots and racists then it is reasonable to expect you to consider where this is all going?

Big blow for the credibility of the leave campaign. Media are having a field day.

He is a parasite and his very presence has fatally wounded the view of an articulate Leave voter.

Absolute racist scum and he was allowed a platform to deliver his bile.

If Labour don’t make merry with this political bounty then I wave the white flag.
