Im glad that you take the word lefty as offensive. 

I don't, but assume that you think it is.

I'm proud to be to the left of centre on the political spectrum on most subjexts.

There wasn't a physical attack on the RNLI folk. Correct. However, there were threats and unnecessary comments of traitor etc. 

The protest was not peaceful. People do not get injured, and items damaged, in peaceful protests. Sure, it wasn't a riot, but don't kid yourself it was peaceful. 

Depends on how you measure it

The BLM Protests with over 200 arrests was described as largely peaceful

The Notting hill Carnival with over 600 arrests is described as a great family day out

So by that measure this is safer than a village fate.

Yeah, that's a bit of an oxymoron and feels like you've just flung a few of words together.

Not by most people it isn’t re: Notting Hill.

There might be a sigh of relief that there aren’t multiple murders there in a given year but I wouldn’t want to attend it any more than being amongst Thommo, Ossie and his balaclava mates in Portsmouth.

I didn’t consider hurling Colston’s statue into Bristol’s harbour to be peaceful either.

So you don't see anything wrong with falsely doxxing RNLI volunteers and calling them traitors, but you do think that the Daily Mail publishing the name of his roofing company, the registered address of which is already a matter of public record, is unacceptable and proves that the state is now far-left fascist?

Comparisons and false comparisons aren't needed to view something objectively, and through the eyes of decency or common sense. 

A protest where public servants are hurt, and property is damaged, could only be described as "peaceful" by someone seeking to justify that kind of behaviour as acceptable.

Agreed, which is why the BLM protests were not peaceful and neither is the Notting Hill carnival yet the narrative is very different from those who are meant to view and report things objectively and through the eyes of decency and common sense.

But as i said to Egg, the narative is very different.

The BLM protest(s). Large scale disorder and violence was literally beamed live on the news whilst simultaneously being told it was all largely peaceful... It was absolutely ridiculous

You can't compare a carnival with pockets of incidents with a protest which is essentially an incident in its own right. It's a false equivalence.

Some people even denied there was any disorder whatsoever, then when they couldn't deny it any further, because it was all over the news and there were over 200 arrests, they said well it doesnt matter it's all for a good cause 😂

Using that metric then surely as we're all concerned about uncontrolled immigration, this was for a good cause?

BLM was a protest which was described as "largely peaceful" there were 200+ arrests.

Yep. That was not a peaceful. 

I think there's a kind of "it could have been worse, so let's call it peaceful" with a PC approach being taken. 

Call a shovel a shovel, whoever holds it.

Our posts crossed mate. Yep, not as bad as it could have been, so toned down. That said, it wasn't described as peaceful, just mostly.

So not described as peaceful! 

Notting Hill can fairly be described as mostly peaceful.

From the likes of the Guardian who have their agenda.

Whereas the Telegraph have theirs on the weekend’s disorder. 

I call it as I see it/experience it and I wouldn’t want to be near any of it. There isn’t a side for me, destroying property is exactly that whether it’s BLM throwing statues into water, an anarchist defacing Churchill’s statue, someone pissing on the Cenotaph or a balaclava wanker kicking a Southsea resident’s wing mirror off. Or Pompey fans smashing up Goldsmith Ave after they beat us in 2004.

Whatever the ideology, or claimed ideology, thuggery is thuggery.

Those look like different dates. Pretty sure the first big one in London did go pretty much without trouble and it flared up subsequently at others.

As a proportion of those taking part, how few arrests merit a protest being deemed "peaceful", how many more would modify this to "mostlly" peaceful or "largely" so ?
