Don't like the result of the election? Let's riot, and some people who didn't get the election result they wanted will back us. I wonder how many of those rioters have a job? I'm guessing not many. And sadly for the people who went along to peacefully protest - because even if I don't agree with them I do uphold their right to peaceful protest - their message has been lost on the majority, overshadowed by the reckless acts of the few. But some people are backing them! Astonishing.

The thread is the most depressing indictment of the left I've seen for a while, and it's up against some stiff competition.

It doesn't say very much for me as to the right either with respect,
In fact I have had a real eye opener on this thread.
Those with left views are also condemning the defacing of the war memorial too if you notice, (not just the right are), I am one of them.

Those from the right who are quite willing to jump in and condemn rightly the few people who did wrong on this protest march.
Who then choose to avoid the chance to then show any compassion whatsoever as to the cuts and wrong of those cuts,from this govt; as to the most vulnerable.

That says it all as to the so called right for me, I am disgusted for 2 reasons, (1) at the attitude of the few who defaced the war memorial during this march,and (2),the attitudes of those who show scant or no regard for the most vulnerable of this country, as to the real and unjustified misery they are going to face,from the govt; they likely support, and very soon for years too.
