Fair Comment or Borderline Democracy? |
This often manifests itself in the violent disruption of non socialist political events, which apparently is totally acceptable to Messrs Corbyn and Abbott and the rest ....
But this casual acceptance of violence as a means of political debate by the Labour Party leadership, has allowed for the emergence of a type of left-wing activist who has no regards for the norms of a democratic society.

To be fair, local Manchester Labour party members condemned the banner above, but despite police involvement, no arrests were made ...... and the main labour Party leadership said nothing about this and other incidents, such as the assaults on conservative party members and journalists attending a Tory conference in the same town.

This sort of behaviour now seems to have just become a normality .... for instance a Unison union shop steward who uses the twitter name Yob_Sothoth and who has apparently locked his account now, tweeted this incitement to violence, and so far twitter @gmpolice have taken no action over this call to violence against other people.
I agree, totally out of order.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes wonder if we are living on the edge of democratic process.
