Current Affairs Race wars, neo-nazis and other unpleasantness

[Dharma]

I genuinely don't understand why it's not okay to smash nazis/fascists in the head. I've always been a pacifist, but I've thought to myself that I would make an exception and be proud to fight nazis. Cognitive dissonance, i know, but that's where I am.

They hunted down every single one of them after WWII and disposed of them. It's the only way. Be as ruthless as they.

Tell me again why water cannons aren't allowed to be used in this country?

Bought for say 400m

Tbf to them they can't win.

They react to being jumped at Manchester airport and a female colleague getting pulverised and some are pushing for those involved to be sacked, and charged.

As much as many of us would like to see them teach these scruffs a lesson they'll know that some would jump on it if they did.

The problem they have is that they will act disproportionately on one occasion then try to manage it through PR and it backfires.

They've also been guilty of poor policing through covid and disproportionate action against calmer protests - where right wing media and politicians have applauded those actions and called for tougher policing.

Now, those same voices are silent because these are the people they're trying to entice and if the police do act as they should to violent protest, the likes of Braverman, Farage will be claiming that policing is 2 tiered and lead by liberals.

Coupled with massive cuts to policing and police budgets, we are where we are.

They can be used, it just needs ministerial approval and presumably getting them shipped over from the PSNI.

If only we’d kept them…..wouldn’t have been Scum Khan who sold them would it…,,,

That might be strike three for this sort of thing.

I wonder where his majesty is...

Also, they aren't that useful.

Looks like county road is the only place in the whole of the UK that is a warzone now. Of all the places it would be Liverpool. Mind is blown.

In his defence Pete, they'd been left derelict for four years and were basically scrap at that point.

Considering it's kicking off in Belfast too, good luck with that.
