It raises an interesting point about employees involving themselves in politics.

The bank I worked for would have sacked me as you are not allowed to engage in that sort of activity and her behaviour reflected badly on the NHS.

That was a corporate decision that most government / local councils would not agree with but is fairly common in the private sector. The problem is that if a teacher is caught at an Far Right demonstration the left would be screaming for them to be sacked. It doesn't seem to apply the other way around though.

On balance I think she had to go it wasn't going on the march but her appalling and aggressive behaviour and she was stupid enough to get caught on camera the biggest crime of all. Oh and she had a very odd social media page which the media have trawled through.

I hope she isn't out of work for long and realises her foolishness.

I feel quite conflicted over this. I don’t like the idea of someone losing a job but there should be some consequences.
Maybe a compulsory appearance on one of Ant Middleton’s sweary programmes.

I can't take Trump seriously as I lived in Newcastle Upon Tyne for several years where trump is a commonly used term for fart.

I agree I think she just got caught up in the moment but she got caught. It's funny that most private companies have policies about employee involvement in politics as they are terrified as being seen as politically bias. Meanwhile in the public sector its perfectly normal for staff to be involved.

My guess is that someone told her to resign rather than face the sack.

Vince Cable is borderline too.

To be fair, the article says she quit her job (not sacked).

Again, these abusive, violent protesters all seem to come from the same side of politics. You have grown adults screaming into people's faces. What is wrong with these people?

This is all about their own issues. Most of these people secretly hate themselves.

Some of them have mental health issues, others have been brainwashed into thinking they are dealing with neo Nazis by people eager to distort and peddle narratives that promote that.

The intelligent ones just believe in a worldview that I don't agree with but are prepared to protest peacefully. Those are the ones worthy of some respect.

And I guess if you swap the 'Nazis' part with... circle where appropriate 'lefties', 'hippies', 'Communists' etc you'll have summed up the other side too. Very succinct, nice work.

On her Twitter profile, that protester describes herself as an "Intersectional Feminist, LGBT+, accused crazy cat lady, body positive, striving for equality."

She runs a private company which provides 'clinical services' to the NHS. But she was protesting against Trump and a potential US trade deal that could lead to privatisation of the NHS!

I don't think the issue is with name calling itself – but disingenuously getting the names totally wrong. We don't have any Nazi politicians in the UK, while there are open Marxists in the Labour party.

True...and thank god for that.

I guess if I was to put it on a spectrum though the flipside of an open Marxist would be a rampant capitalist. And there could well be a few UK politicians fitting that title.

Calling someone a lefty or hippy or indeed even a communist isn't going to result in them being sacked or screamed at in the street by mentally unwell people.

So I'm struggling to see your point.

Hopefully the vast majority of them, seeing as we are living in a capitalistic society.

Very true these is that sorta look they have. I guess you could say the same thing about the far right as well, a different look but one you can spot.

What would you say is a 'far right' look?

Is it the 'gammon' thing?

I think it's sad that our brave new world creates people like these.
They lash out because they are losers in life and socially inadequate.

I think extremists are fairly similar on all sides. The difference being that Leftist extremism has somehow become acceptable.

I blame Hitler.
