    The poll was posted without debate anyway. It was a simple question about whether knowing the ins and outs of stuff.
    You’re either racist or against it.

    What time is this ridiculous protest tomorrow? Either to avoid it or confront it.

    Well done the people of Bristol. Came out , made a point with no trouble.
    Of course the right did not make an appearance. Good.
    Probably because of the prison sentences being handed out today.
    Hope tomorrow passes peacefully in Barnsley tomorrow.

    Watching sky news watching the unity of the peaceful anti racist protests is fantastic and looks to have snuffed out the far right idiots riots.

    Can’t you just be a **** if you don’t like women in birkas? Why do you have to go on and cover your face in order to qualify?

    Anyway, your original poll question is badly worded and does not deserve a response from anyone, to be honest. I’m surprised that anyone has answered it (because it implies of course that they have at one time actually considered attending a protest that (I bet) 99% of posters would never ever think of attending).

    Finally, you do yourself no favours by simply being abusive to the foolish others, because that is displaying behaviour that is no better than theirs.

    The rest on your list are btw *****.

    There you go.

    I think you should read the posts correctly before jumping to conclusions.

    Apologies for wording the original poll poorly. I thought it was black and white, but maybe not.
    It was (to me at least) a guide as to the opinions of people on this forum.
    Do you a) support violence in protest
    Or b) condemn such actions.

    maybe I should have made myself clearer, but the majority seem to have got it.

    Think the thread should be deleted now, as it's disgusting to make out that's what 3 BBS posters had in mind when they voted.
    Pointless thread & the worst poll I've seen on here.

    not my poll question mate. As to my abuse, you're right its no better than theirs but why the hell should we not kick back against these scumballs? Im fed up of being 'liberal' and 'tolerant' to these animals. And as an aside, I'm a very peace-loving person. Just because I call some people out, quite rightly, for being nasty twa.ts its me that has to rein it in is it?

    Sorry about my error re: The poll.

    Whether you rein it is a matter for you. Quite simply, if you carry on simply being abusive then you will lose my respect and i will put you on ignore.

    This may be of no concern whatsoever to you. I accept that.

    Reports of 25,000 anti racism protestors out tonight. Amazing showing of solidarity.

    Sounds like some weird anti social behaviour in Croydon with some arrests, but otherwise peaceful protests up and down the country.

    nothing wrong with ignore if you wish. Im not personally abusive to anyone, Never been towards you. Would never do so unless you're nasty, vindictive or insulting to specific individuals on here. However, if you 'ignore' me based on that particular post I think it says more about your views than it does about me to be frank. Up to you. Regards if youre not a racist, not a sympathiser of the rioters, not a Yaxley-Lennon apologist and not someone who spreads disinformation.

    Poppers Tolerance Paradox. - If the tolerant allow the intolerant to say anything they want, eventually the intolerant will no longer tolerate the tolerant and all you will hear is intolerance.

    I'm paraphrasing, but you get the idea and can look it up.
