A rampage by far right extremists in London, protesting the latest coronavirus restrictions was closed down by police. Nine police officers were injured by the out of control mob, 16 arrests were made.

Paul all of a sudden "Far Right extremists? Rampages and police injured. BLM Antifa ring any bells. You are just being a silly little girl again, Go home to your dollies!

Well, as far as I know, when one political group is being violent, the other groups don't stop violence altogether. BLM riots being violent doesn't mean a far right one can't be violent, too.

Dear Shadow Minister,

There is no doubt Denmark is having a surge.

Part of the reason the cases are so high in Denmark is because it has decided to go hammer and tongs with its testing. It does so at a rate over 4 times that of Sweden. It aims to test 1% of its population every day.

But the pubs have only just been ordered to close by 10pm. Facemasks are not mandatory, gatherings of up to 50 people are permitted.

They have decided to try and fight the surge mainly through high levels of testing rather than reintroducing lockdown measures. Time will tell if they succeed. If they don't then it will be another reason to celebrate Victoria's approach.

Flanker,

So all Trumpf-supporters have to do is send in a few agents provocateurs to stir up as much trouble as possible. That might give the rest of them excuses to be even more violent than their own agents, to use those bloody great automatics, or drive into crowds.

Oh, wait. They've already been doing that. Nothing much new under the sun.

On the other hand, yes, there would be crazies on the 'left', anarchists who want to tear down all authority (and start again: old ideas never die). Ratbags of both 'left' and right seem to converge when it comes to total destruction, preparing - for their different reasons - for the end of days. And - big surprise ! - those ratbags feed each other, they provoke each other and each gives the other side a rationale for even more destruction.

Strange, it used to be like that in the thirties - both Communists and fascists saw the Labor Party as their major enemy, so I was told. Maybe birds of a feather, some join the extreme 'left', some the extreme right ..... Either way, it's a move towards fascism.

So JB, its okay to refer to peaceful BLM protesters in emotive terms such as, extremists, communists, terrorists etc. However when the boots on the other foot, and its protesters the likes of you agree with, then to describe them in such terms is a no, no, and one gets a silly rebuke from the hard right. Oh dear.

Hundreds of far right extremists, calling themselves 'Proud Boys' have rallied in Portland USA.. Many came well armed with loaded guns, knives, batons and baseball bats. Some wearing clothing supportive of President Trump. State governor, Kate Brown, declared a weekend state of emergency for the city, saying Friday that “white supremacist groups” were travelling from out of state to attend an event the Proud Boys say was organised to “end domestic terrorism”, police were preparing for violence with the far right extremists. Surprisingly its these very people who are accused of instigating violence at peaceful BLM protests. One should consider, are not these extremists part of the real terrorists problem within the United States.
