No Foxy I was not generalising and I did not comment on who started
fights in Melbourne.
We do however see the trend of Left Wing students & others preventing
others speaking at meetings etc.

I do have a vivid memory of a TV news item of left wing rioters trying
to attack a right wing group that was protecting a meeting.
The police intervened.
That was in Melbourne. There seems to be a very belligerent left wing
movement in Melbourne. It seems to be getting quite a reputation.

the left are generally very quick to tantrums as we saw with the election of President Trump and Brexit. I suspect most of them have liberal parents who though cowardice produce brats.

Come off it, Foxy, how was Bolt to know that it's just shaving cream and glitter ? With the murder of Kim Jong-Un's brother in Malaysia with poison to the face, who's to know what it might be ? Or do you think that Bolt can foretell the future ?

Thugs be aware, there are plenty of us just itching to give you one or two good kicks in the crown jewels :)

Hi Phanto,

Being still a bit paranoid, a hangover from my lefty days, I suspect that you are only half right:

It's extremely likely that ANTIFA set the whole thing up to make it look like Bolt set the whole thing up to make it look like ANTIFA set the whole thing up to make it look like Bolt set the whole thing up.

You know it's clearly true ! Only very cunning people can see it, like you and me.

New report,

<New footage reveals sheer violence of Andrew Bolt attack outside Melbourne restaurant

Alarming new footage shows commentator Andrew Bolt being assaulted on the streets of Melbourne in what he says is an example of how dangerous the city has become for conservatives.

The video, posted on social media on Thursday morning, shows a hooded man approaching Bolt from behind and throwing a substance at his head, initiating a brawl in broad daylight on busy Lygon Street.

The ensuing scuffle sees Bolt pushed into a pole and then falling over chairs and tables outside a restaurant. He fights back fiercely, kicking and punching his two assailants in the face and groin before they give up and start to walk away.

An unknown man shouts "what are you doing?" and "go away" as the brawl concludes.

The assault took place on Tuesday at the launch of The Art of the Impossible, a book on Donald Trump and the 2016 US presidential election campaign by RMIT associate professor Steve Kates.

On Tuesday night Victoria Police confirmed it was investigating the "incident" and was searching for three men: the two assailants plus a third man who was wielding a camera and "appeared to be filming or taking photos".

Police confirmed Bolt was hit with a mixture of shaving cream and glitter.

Speaking to Fairfax Media on Thursday morning, Bolt said he was sick of being targeted for his conservative beliefs and would pursue his attackers for justice and demand a charitable donation.

"I'm not a brawler," he said. "I had one bruised knuckle and I don't care a stuff about it. I had a suit ruined and I want every cent of that paid back. And I want a hefty donation to a charity of my choice.">

<Melbourne Antifa, a loose collection of left-wing activists united behind "anti-fascist action", appeared to claim a role in the incident, posting on Facebook that "some of our family in solidarity were attacked by Andrew Bolt while they were protesting today".

The group argued Bolt should be imprisoned for his "violent, horrendous language".

Bolt told Fairfax Media the attack was the latest in a long line of threats to the safety of himself, his family and other conservatives in his home city.

"I am sick of people trying to intimidate me, trying to threaten me," he said. "I'm sick of the threats on my life and my reputation. I'm sick of being sued and bullied and I'm not going to take it. I'm just not going to take it.

"We should be free to have a debate and to walk down the street without fear of being attacked.

"The right to free speech has to be better protected – everywhere but particularly in Melbourne. It is ridiculous how dangerous it is for conservatives in this town to speak out.

"If you don't like what I say just prove me wrong. Don't threaten me, don't threaten my house, don't threaten my family, don't abuse me – just argue with me.

"It must be a question of the principle and not the side.">

To add, some posters here make no attempt to conceal the glaring similarities between the lunar spin of the activists and their own hateful comments sledging the victim of the violent attack.
