Its not that I am protecting the Tories - again a usual, predictable put down. I just have principles on the correct way to voice discontent - through the ballot box
Its distasteful the way posters behave on here

:clap1::clap1::clap1: It's only SOME posters BOTS. I will not risk a ban by expounding, but the irrefutable truth which illustrates the sheer hypocrisy of SOME posts is in black and white on various past threads - the Farage one which you mention being one.
The heckling by disgruntled members of the public of politicians who they disagree with, is traditional and historically accepted, but here - as in the Farage incident - these lowbrows were breaking a number of laws by physically attempting to block in IDS's car and prevent it from leaving among other things.
Let's be honest here; from spraying grafitti on war memorials to threatening Nigel Farage and his children and damaging his property, to this incident, it does not matter to some people just as long as the targets under attack are deemed by them to be 'Right Wing' targets.
In these types of ugly, anti-Democratic incidents, blind hatred of the Tories or other parties not 'Left Wing', overides logic, common decency, and honesty, and the most absurdly flawed and skewed reasoning is used to try to directly and openly justify such or acts, or mitigate them by indirect means.
I do not like IDS and I did not vote Tory, and my stance on these type of incidents would be exactly the same had it been Jeremy Corbyn who was the victim.
Has there been similar attacks by 'Right Wing' factions on Corbyn which are similar to this? Or attacks by 'Right Wing' factions on his family members such as in the Farage incident?
No?
This in itself speaks volumes about the abhorrent extremist 'Left wing' in this country.
If it is deemed all right by some on here that yet another mob of anti-Democratic lefties can break the law, then let's take that inane logic a step or two further when British Law is so readily discarded:
If it is perfectly acceptable for Marxist 'Rag, Tag, and Bobtails' to try to unlawfully detain IDS against his will by preventing his car from leaving, then it would be just as perfectly acceptable for IDS's bodyguards - or members of the public for that matter - to, violently if need be, remove the mob to allow IDS the right to leave.
If a few of these undemocratic loonies receive a cracked skull or two or a broken nose in the process, then so what - all Law has been discarded.
And THIS is the problem when our Law is so readily brushed aside by these idiots and their supporters - WHERE does it end?
If one law can be ignored, then why not others? Is one law more valid than another? Should the interpretation of our Laws ever be at the mercy of anti-Democratic mobs?
As you so RIGHTLY say BOTS, we have a democratic process for expressing discontent with a political party, but more than that, we have a time-honoured tradition outside of that process for peaceful protest including heckling and jeering, and this being the GREAT DEMOCRACY it is, such peaceful protesters can exercise that tradition safe from being murdered or brutalised by the state - as in other countries.
These mobs are NOT peaceful protesters though - are they. Well, at least some of us honestly recognise that.
