Seems very heavy handed to me.

Inciting violence is a crime and has been for a number of years.
To my knowledge Packham was discussing whether a criminal act could ever be justified. He wasn't encouraging people to do it.


More heavy handed than having a rail strike on Tory conference days just to disrupt it?

I think I've been clear that I don't support Fox's poor judgement. The issue is whether Fox was arrested for who he is, a right wing activist and celebrity, rather than what he has said or done.

We can have a view on this, but we will never know for sure.

Who pays for that exactly? Ah yes. We do, via taxes. Whether that tax comes at the tap or via monthly payments to the water board is irrelevant. Water is not free, nor can it be.

Ludicrous position to have

No, he's right that water is a basic human right.

If someone cannot afford to pay for water are you suggesting we let them die of thirst?.....I don't think you are saying that.

You point that it has to be paid for is of course valid. However, if the basic physical requirements for human life aren't considered a right then we have regressed into the middle ages.

I'm of the view that what matters is the nature of the protest.

If they are there to intimidate people from going or there to disrupt with noise then they shouldn't be allowed as they are deliberately disrupting the event from happening.

I've already linked to a protest group at the Tory conference dressed like Antifa marching around the area.....I'm not sure that kind of thing is a good development.

Let's cut through the crap.

Do you really think that a Left wing activist would get a visit from the police?

Shall we start a thread to discuss all future episodes of activists breaking the law or encouraging it and see how that goes?

Well, they might infiltrate them, enter into a relationship with one of the women involved, get her pregnant, live as a couple, while working undercover in a police role, feeding back info to their commanders.

Apart from that, no.

Decades ago.

However it was very wrong nevertheless.

I think that there is definitely a double standard being operated here in regards to left and right.....or as a human example Packham and Fox.

The Police having words is one thing but the arrest of Fox is political prosecution in my view. I would not be surprised if it was timed to ensure GBNews could sack him more easily....though I do not suggest conspiracy.

Yup.

He was on his prehistoric TV looking at GB News.

Basically said or actually said? Big difference. If you can share a verbatim quote that matches the same direct inference as Fox I’ll happily agree.

As it stands, there are clear, observable differences between the two statements.its not a matter of subjectivity, its objectively clear.

Posing a question is not the same as encouraging and instructing an action.

This is fairly basic stuff.

Anything unclear about that?

I see you are an advocate of the pre ice age advanced civilisation theory.

Nigel Farage might look like something from another world, but he has more credibility and support among the ordinary man than Kier Starmer and Rishi Sunak ever will.

Should be included in our already really high taxes.

You're reminding me of the Irish politician (can't remember his name) that said "water doesn't just fall from the sky". This is Ireland and, of course, it was raining.
