A very rare thread from me in what was the Politics Board back in January.

As you'll see, very little interest at the time.
As someone who's been on the receiving end during protests and activism, and paid the price, I've come to the conclusion that we're a pretty soft country of cap-doffers these days and that the biggest thugs/criminals wear suits, robes and uniforms.
Side note: the woman in Scotland who was arrested could well have been under Scottish laws which are different. I can't remember the subtle differences now.
