..there was nothing in my words that were rude as you know...(...just factual as to what a specific person’s interpretation of ‘admirable’ would be ...and some expectations would be very low indeed...)...different folks../...different strokes...

Yeah, calling the guy radicalized is a bit daft. If anythihg, he was just..an idiot who saw TV cameras and decided to try and get some attention by copying some other idiot who did the same and got attention. Mind, I do have to say the first guy who did it, it DID seem to be for a reason, as Robinson seemed to be..well baiting him in a way. Not that that makes it right, but its more understandable. This guy just ran over with a dumb smile on his face and thought he was oh so hilarious.

My main issue with this is, if it continues it WILL escalate, as people try to outdo each other. And regardless of how distasteful I find Robinsons and Farages views politicians and such should be able to canvass without stuff like this happening. I mean, what if a group of numpties all started copying the Corbyn being egged thing, and everytime he tried to do anything, some other idiot was there to do the same thing? Its just..all stupid and childish but I really do think it will escalate as these people see their actions applauded.

Finally, I do think that theres a little too much fuss being made, however it IS technically assault. I remember in BB, when some fans were screaming for Grace to be prosecuted for chucking water on Suzie. I disagreed with Corbyn being egged but also thought some people went OTT in basically making out he was hit on the head with a brick. This kind of thing will happen to politicians from time to time and I disagree with it regardless of who the 'victim' is, but this seems to be the new calling card of the left, given how many tiems its been copied over the week. And it kind of makes them look immature and yes, gains the likes of Farage and Robinson even more attention, which is what they crave. So, its not really doing the bad thing people reckon it is, as its playing into their hands.

All in all, a storm in a teacup, but with the potential of being much worse in the near future. And yes, its usually the far right who are violent, no arguing there, however, lefties can be. But honestly, the far left worries me as much as the far right at times!

...that’s the thing though isn’t it...’far’ is never good and is always going to be dangerous and divisive...whether it be far left or far right...sadly we don’t have anyone in politics atm who could bring us more toward the centre as a country and we need that more than ever since the referendum divided us...and the problem is, is Farage couldn’t be further removed from anything positive which would help us become more united...it’s all a very worrying time atm...

Tommy Robinson's bus had a brick thrown at it yesterday and a large group of Islamic thugs shouting "allah akbar" threw bricks at police, property, people and vehicles the other day.

no arrests were made and the MSM called the thugs a "counter demo" even though there was no demonstration to counter- just a candidate for the Euro elections campaigning.

Vicky is right, laugh and condone it - fail to report reality and it will escalate.

i'll pass on your concerns. Nice to know you only pick on the medium and have zero to say about the content.

I actually disagree with him, but just adding the opinion of an expert in this matter.
