Any thread covering a political topic will descend into an Intrepid bash on account of him being the most far-right active poster in a community populated predominantly with lefties. This is further compounded by Intrepid insisting he is left wing, and that communism is representative of the far right...
Becky you know full well political spectrums are useless. I am not sure anyone actually uses these terms any more. Anyway I am not far-right, that's complete bile. A belief in social & economic freedom is not someone of the 'far-right'. And if you think that, then you're very much mistaken.
Of course you are not far right Intrepid, you are a leftie like the rest of us who just happens to hold far right views. Move along, nothing to see here
Anyone else here think the job description Intrepid gave was "professional burglar"?
I think you're confused as to what as far-right person actually is. Though I think the political spectrum is deeply flawed and often conflicted hence why it's extremely out-dated now. If you really think I am 'far-right' you're not as smart as I thought you were.
If the government officially declare it as riots than I think the state, and thus tax-payer, is liable to foot the bill. If not then it remains for business owners to rely on insurance.
That'd be like not looting during a riot. Commendable yet appallingly un-British at the same time. The repercussions of such an action might even create a situation in life that not even Intrepid himself has personally experienced himself personally - himself.
Well this reframes things. Tbh, I assumed that the few posts calling for a crackdown with rubber bullets and tear gas were a bit of a put on, so I didn't take them seriously. I guess my beef is more about the thing that Intrepid bought up in post #17- that people are gonna use this episode to as a means of reinforcement of thier own hard line political opinions, instead of seeing it as a bunch of kids being knobs (whatever the original justification was, it's gone past that). I'll bet money that there are serious people scribbling away right now about how this is the 'face of multiculturalism' or something, and we've already witnessed the counterarguments from the left. Just smells like (adult) demagoguery to me. Sorry.
