A 'Social Conscience' and desire for 'Fair Play' is NOT exclusive to the Left Wing or Labourites on here, but some of us have the rationality to see that not everything Tory is evil and not everything Labour is good.
Baying anarchist and irascible mobs with an arrogant inclination towards unlawfulness are WRONG - no matter whether they are Left, Centre or Right in their politics.

Well what was unlawful about that incident with IDS then, was anyone arrested,charged, appearing in Court, punished.
No.
So what was unlawful about it?
Now,add to that this govt has had its policy declared illegal in a Court, perhaps the same gusto applied to that fact rather than insulting in full generalisation people,some who may have very genuine grievances would be more appropriate.
It certainly is for me.
Political history has had many instances where the,yes, even the law has had to be broken to win change at times.
It doesn't make those people 'bad' people.
