Here is a serious answer then,with respect few on here are giving any attention to the reason for the march in the first place.

I have said more than once, I condemn massively the tiny few of all there, that defaced the war memorial.
Everyone should do so too and in fact have.
However, I am not going to generalise and then call 'all' the protesters left wing militants and all other names or lump them together with the few that caused the bother.
Also eagerly using that to dismiss and cloud over the real reason for the protests.

And yes,to those criticising this fact too, I will actually now be happy to join any march or protest at the heartless cuts to come against the most vulnerable.
Because since we have such a distorted, as to real democracy, electoral system,when you get a govt; that will use its,(minority as to given votes),power to trample on the weakest,thank god there are people who will march against that.

Sadly there will always be the few troublemakers, who unfortunately grab the headlines in marches and protests.
Sadder still is however,that this, in the main peaceful march,had it remained so, would have been likely ignored by the media.
They only took interest once things kicked off.

Had this remained peaceful as it should be as to all protests and marches,some would I believe, still be calling them names and thinking them a waste of space,just because they are against the cuts from the govt; they support.

Therein lies the difference with me and at least one other on here,if this was a Labour govt; setting out to do these cuts as to the most vulnerable, I would be as equally strong in my fight ad passion against them as I will be against this govt:

My loyalty does not come without conditions,if I see injustice anywhere, I will help take a stand against it,even if that is against something or people I really support too.

If this govt; had just a single ounce of decency and compassion about it,it would listen and consult before inflicting more savage cuts on the vulnerable.
It never has, it will not now and it never will.
So, people should not be surprised some take to the streets to protest.

Wrong to cause destruction but it is generally only the few that do so, then others jump in to condemn all for that few.
It still doesn't change that it is a massive wrong for those in power to be constantly trampling on the weakest.
You may be very happy and able to support that,I never will as to any party in power or in fact any organisation either.

You and I will never see eye to eye on this issue however.
