    Yep I'm sure you have a great reason for siding with nazis and attacking people for being non-white.

    I'm under the impression that the question was "would you attend such a protest"?
    Said nothing about siding with Nazis etc.

    What? Because 97% of posters disagree with him?
    Maybe if he had some remotely valid points he could win it.
    You win a debate by convincing others of your beliefs. He's welcome to go for it.

    It’s not a protest it’s been proven to be a nazi rally that turned into a terrorist attack.

    If you want to attend that makes you a nazi. If you attend and join the attacks that makes you a nazi and a terrorist. Hopefully those that attend will be dealt with in that manner.

    I would only attend protests like the current ones to support the immigrants/Muslims/Palestinians/Jews/etc etc against the right wing neo nazis/ thugs to show my support and side with the tolerant, peaceful majority that quite frankly don’t deserve this $h!t.

    as however I’m of an age where I’m unlikely to be of any help I stay firmly away and tut loudly from the comfort of my armchair.

    Not sure it was a nazi rally in all honesty. I'd class it as a load of idiots being stirred up with events on social media and then the addition of far right supporters amongst the crowd.
    I'd have attended the protest purely from an observational perspective as I'm a Sociologist.
    In the past; when i was much younger obviously, I've done my bit confronting far right rallies.

    Sounds like you're of an age where you should have more sense than to go to a riot just to have a look, however intellectually you want to dress that up.

    I assume he means gave. But that’s giving the benefit of the doubt that he’s trying to be funny.

    if he’s a Covid conspiracy nut it could mean literally anything

    Tell you what...
    All the people who attend these 'protests' are twa.ts
    All the people who say they have legitimate reasons for their anger are twa.ts
    All the people who turn up to 'have a look' are twa.ts
    All the people who smash shops are twa.ts
    All the people who burn cars are twa.ts
    All the people who say 'we want our country back' are twa.ts
    All the people who try to burn people alive are twa.ts
    All the people who attack the police officers are twa.ts
    All the people who won't listen to facts are twa.ts
    All the people who think Yaxley-Lennon has a point are twa.ts
    All the people who think Nigel Farage is on their side are twa.ts
    All the people who hate people who have brown skin are twa.ts.
    All the people who pretend they're bothered about the country by smashing it up are twa.ts
    All the people who dont like women in birkas but then cover their own faces are twa.ts.
    All the people who use violence to further a cause in a democracy are twa.ts.
    Basically if you fall into any of the above you ARE a twa.t. If you are go look in the mirror and repeat these words 'I am a tw.at'

    Sorry as I dont usually do this but I am fed up of the morons trying to run the narrative. All you twa.ts will you please leave our country, fu.ck off to Rwanda or get back in your hole. Twa.ts not welcome in my country.
