RW media: We're here outside an asylum hotel, where trouble may be about to start. RW protesters: Hey, look! There's a whole bunch of media types hanging around outside that hotel. Let's go and give them a proper show. RW media: We're here outside an asylum hotel, where trouble has started. etc.
RW media: The leftists are to blame for the trouble that just kicked off.
Fortunately, the government won its appeal. Unfortunately, it has probably now martyred the Bell Hotel. 🙄
Police seem afraid to do anything. The moment a crowd gathers, it should instantly be dispersed. If that escalates, then so be it. Whatever it takes. Because not to do this is giving in to right wing thuggery and racism. And the end point of that is a whole lot worse.
I don’t agree. That’s the slippery slope to banning all demos. But they must be peaceful and non abusive.
I agree that they SHOULD be peaceful and non-aggressive. But that isn’t what’s happening and the more passive we are, the more these people will push the boundaries. Sure, put a line of police in front of the hotel, but at the first sign of threat or aggression, clear the lot of them away.
Too true. When GB News fails to get counter protesters to respond they just make it up.
That is SO true !
That’s it exactly!
Rinse and repeat.
Exactly what BBC Scotland’s political editor did at a Tory conference in Perth in 2022. Protestors behind guard rails a good distance from the event were approached by Cook with phone camera in hand to provoke a response which he duly received in spades. Cue outrage from media.
This is how they create their own new cycle, they’ve all seen that obscure channel doing it with some hacks/bloggers pretending to be journalists, and now they’re all on it, stupidity really is contagious! 🙈
