Yeah, we're the archetypal frog in ever heating water and you know what you are talking about. Ok Ray, Trump's got a few more years left, lets wait for the jackboots and prove me wrong. Get involved in a few punch ups if you want as you do your bit saving the world.

I've agreed there is a problem in the US with the far right more so than here. I cast doubt on those figures because they appear to be missing deaths I know have been caused by the far left so....if something isn't objective I don't really trust it...explain that to me and maybe I will trust it. But while groups like Antifa are a growing problem I don't doubt that far right groups are probably a bigger one. But regardless the vast majority on both sides regard these people as extremists.

As for my exact percentage of musculature, this will remain a mystery until Kermit takes me on in a well intentioned arm's wrestle.

You are free not to debate me, sure. I hold no gripe either way. Enjoy life and be free brother.

They have a right to protest and, when they choose, counter-protest. However, they have shown a propensity to escalate things to violence and property damage, which is where the law should step in and arrest / punish as appropriate.

I also disagree with their tactics of hounding speakers at universities and elsewhere. While the right to freedom of speech is only constitutionally guaranteed free of government censorship (that's the bit that many people forget), speakers should not be denied a public platform just because a minority doesn't think they're going to like what they expect to hear. Let them speak and then agree / debate / denounce as you feel appropriate.

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

Trump has put in charge of the FCC - the body that regulates the internet - a man who opposes net neutrality. An open internet - at least in the U.S. - is in serious jeopardy right now.

This is theme to the Trump administration. He has put in charge of the Dept. of Energy a man who campaigned on abolishing it. Head of the EPA? A man who was suing it and so is now in charge of his settling his own lawsuit (and does not see the need to recuse himself from the process). Head of Housing? A sleepy neurosurgeon. Head of Public Education? A woman who has worked tirelessly to privitise education (and who has a financial stake in doing so). Pretty much everyone else is either a family member or from Goldman Sachs.

Sorry but your post is also BS. Trump has had no genuine effect on the stock market, despite his many claims to the contrary. Economies take much longer to respond to stimulus than the few months since Trump became POTUS. The rise is all because of greed and the expectation that company profits will rise as a consequence of the promised tax cuts. The Republicans have been tolerating Trump only because they expect to be enriched by that. When the tipping point is reached that they no longer see any benefit in keeping him he will be dumped and the stock market will fall again to it's real level. That point isn't far away, so sell now!

Hardly BS then is it. I didn't claim that Trump was some economic genius. The reason the markets have risen is precisely because of Trump being there and what they expect him to do in terms of regulations.

The idea is, and looking at fairly recent history as a reference point, is that the far right are prepared to use extreme violence against minorities and liberals in their pursuit of power so the best way to stop them is to confront them and literally hit them harder in order to nip them in the bud.

Dialogue and debate doesn't really work with those kind of fanatical extremists whose hatred is deep and dangerous but physical overpowering does.

Some people may have a lot of disdain for direct action anti-fascists and any part-hypocrisy therein but if it keeps Nazis and their sympathisers away from office then they must be doing something correct.

Why not just go to Wisbech. It's a lot nearer.

Yep, its a day out, get to meet people, usually a few women around, and its pretty good fun, even if its a largely futile approach.

Its the political motivated equivalent of hiking.

Yeah, but do the kind of women who go on protest marches wash much? I bet you find more make up in North Korean farms than on your average woman on some 'right on' protest march.

All entirely based upon my own prejudices of course.

You were doing what other Trump apologists do. Complain about "a lack of evenness" in the way the MSM report him. There is no such thing at all. He deserves all he gets and more because he makes claims that are entirely false whilst complaining that those who explain why they are false are publishing "fake news". Trump would not not know the truth if it bit him on the backside. His claims about a rising market are false because the rise is a bubble and not down to an economic recovery he fantasises he has created. The MSM are just telling it as it is.
