The notion that kids are indoctrinated in anyway is beyond ludicrous and a notion propagated by rightwing nut jobs.

Buddha help us all if a deadlier disease is let loose.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Red Forever Posted March 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2021 On 3/22/2021 at 11:50 AM, BritManToo said: You're wrong, they were socialists, that's why they were the National Socialist German Workers Party. The whole movement was based on union organisers and overthrowing those who held all the wealth. Nazi political strategy focused on anti-big business, anti-bourgeois, and anti-capitalist rhetoric which (as far as I can see) is identical to the aims of the people protesting in Bristol today. Back to the OP, Bristol was always a bit rough, I remember riots when I lived there back in the 1970s. What uninformed drivel. The fascists used the word to suck in the lower orders in a similar way that Kippers in UK used the word Independence in their title. i e. bogus. Thankfully we beat the right wing fascists then and judging by events in UK currently we have a battle on our hands against Bojo's right wing rabble. Power to the protesters! 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BenDeCosta Posted March 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2021 Most of these people rioting in Bristol couldn't give a rat's ass about the aim of the protest, they are just there to cause trouble because they are a bunch of loony anarchists. I've spent a lot of time there, I've met these types. They'll gladly tell you about how they only eat vegan food and meditate everyday, but they are full of hatred and violence for people who think anything different to them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would agree the cycling vegans i mix with are always looking for a fight (mainly with each other). As I posted before, used to live in Bristol in the 1970s, always protests and violence in the centre of town. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never lived in Bristol but used to work there and had many nights out there, and been to a few house parties. Met a lot of "crusty" types who were staunchly anti-police for no good reason, probably because they were all on drugs. Now it's an extremely left-wing city, I won't be going back there ever again. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to the wonder of WhatsApp, I'm in regular contact with some of my old friends and colleagues there and this is the general consensus. Of course, they could be wrong, but I don't think so. Apparently the main aim of the "protest" was decent and well-meaning, but was high-jacked by a bunch of people looking to cause trouble. Many people in Bristol seem to have extreme-left views and opinions. Edited March 31, 2021 by BenDeCosta 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yawn. I'm just conveying my opinions and the information I have been provided, ignore at your leisure. This isn't a court of law where I need to provide signed affidavits from what my friends have told me. If you don't believe what I have said, just ignore it. I respect what you say, but just because I didn't have first hand knowledge of something doesn't mean it's not worth saying.
