I’d call them idiots.
However they did undoubtedly prove exactly what Suella was saying.
There was much made of them pushing their way through to the cenotaph. All they did was respectfully observe the ceremony.
Later on Police arrested them “to prevent a breach of the peace”. Not for actually doing anything, but just in case they did.
Meanwhile, people were marching with Hamas masks on, attacking someone who dared hold up a banner saying Hamas are Isis. Sung from the river to the sea. All sorts of Nazi are genocidal banners, which somehow the tens of thousands of police missed in real time.
And the BBC summary was that far right counter protestors caused trouble and were arrested.
Channel 4 even claimed it was a peaceful march.
The absolute state of the country!
The Met Police said that the Right Wing nutters were almost exclusively male and many were 'tooled up' with knuckledusters and knives plus carrying drugs etc. They were there for a fight with the police who they chanted at 'you're not English anymore'. To suggest the mob who tried to storm the Cenotaph at 10.30 onwards were there for anything other than a fight is just plain nonsense - the copious amount of video evidence is there for everyone to see. They were essentially there in response to the clarion call from Cruella and were our equivalent of the Proud Boys being egged on by the Orange Twat Trump to storm the Capitol - fortunately our English version of the Proud Boys are just less organised, unarmed and too coked up to be that effective. I also see Wee Tommy was there but scampered into the back of a black cab when the going got tough - probably had enough footage to upload to his website to keep the nutters happy and keep the funds flowing to fund his Spanish villa?
How Cruella keeps her job now is beyond me and Sunak, in not dealing with her earlier, is now backed into a corner - sack her and lose the support of the NatC right wing nut jobs or dont sack her and lose any credibility with the rest of his party and the general voting public. Trying to win the vote of the far right in the UK will never be enough to win the next election and they way Sunak is going he is rapidly losing the support of the middle and left of the Tory party who up to now were probably undecided but are now realizing they will have to vote for right wing crackpots and are baulking at the idea of doing so. The wedge issues strategy is creating more of a wedge within the Tory party than between them and the other parties.
