Two dignified protests, how very different from that other one, held earlier in the week, I refer of course to those pro-immigration protesters.

My pleasure Baldric. A very good pal of mine was in attendance. A boy from a very challenging upbringing. Made whole by the RM, and a truly good and fair man with a purpose in life that is not just about himself. I am proud to know him, and by association every one of his fellow serving and ex-servicemen.
Well that certainly told me.
I feel thoroughly put in my place now.
I apologise for bringing this thread into disrepute, and would like to thank those who have taken time out to criticise me - everything is a learning experience, and criticism is as valid as praise.
Seriously - thank you.
And please look out for any further posts I put on AB. There's every chance I might slip back and write something I shouldn't.
I love you all.*

If a work colleague asked me, "How comes a bunch of protesting anarchists behaved differently from a group of disciplined ex-marines?" I would answer, "Are you serious? What do you expect from anarchists?"
I would then try to smell his breath to see if he had been drinking.
The original 'question' was not a question. It was a point that was being made. It's something that many of us do on AB. I do it myself when I want to make a point based on an agenda I may have (I do it frequently when trying to draw attention to bigoted views).
But there needs to be honesty here.
The question is not a valid one because it's something that everyone above the age of 14 knows.
Anarchists revel in anarchy. It's in the name.
Meritless.

I was referring to the pro-immigration protesters, and it was this 'rabble' that Amanda Platell was referring to also.
/// How utterly different from another protest four days earlier. Last Saturday, terrified rail passengers had to flee for safety as 'A VIOLENT RABBLE OF PRO-IMMIGRATION PROTESTERS' — many having attended an anarchist meeting — rioted as they tried to storm Eurostar trains at London’s St Pancras station ‘in solidarity with migrants and refugees’. ///
But then you and others couldn't possibly be seen criticising such a group as them, now could you?

So now it is a question, but not a valid one? LOL

Oh pack it up, you are creasing me up. LOL LOL LOL.

You should have read Ms Platell's report:
[i]Last Saturday, terrified rail passengers had to flee for safety as a violent rabble of pro-immigration protesters — many having attended an anarchist meeting — rioted as they tried to storm Eurostar trains at London’s St Pancras station ‘in solidarity with migrants and refugees’.[i]
Ergo...anarchists.

What I mean is - you weren't really asking a question. Yeah were making a point.
It's because you have a particular agenda.
We all do.
Your agenda was to spark a debate, to which you could bring up certain points.
Unless you really don't understand why the two groups act differently when protesting.
...and if you really don't know the difference, well...

I did read it, that is why I copied and pasted the same passage as yours except 33 minutes before you.
I will enter a portion of that very same excerpt.

Attended!!!! Attended!!! that doesn't make those 'violent rabble of pro-immigration protesters' fully paid up anarchists members.
