Apparently, assault isn’t assault when it’s carried out by thick as pigshit progressives.
What a lot of crying over a spilt milkshake. Since broadcaster and sometime politician Nigel Farage got covered in sticky banana and salted caramel in Newcastle on Monday, the air has been thick with condemnation.
Given that it is common assault and criminal damage, that is quite right and the perp needs to be vigorously prosecuted for it. Political candidates should be able to campaign peacefully without being physically attacked on the hustings. Any decent, moral person will see it this way. However, it would seem that writers in the Guardian do not qualify as decent, moral people, for assault against their political opponents is all okay with them.
“Normal campaigning is becoming impossible,” tweeted the far-right leader, (he is not far right, not even close, you ignorant moron – Ed) before pleading for “civilised democracy” – a new tune from a man who warned that unless he gets his precise flavour of Brexit he would “don khaki, pick up a rifle and head for the frontlines”. The dousing was “horrible and ridiculous”, said Tony Blair, famed for his excellent judgment on weapon threats. And so the professionally outraged have taken to social media and TV studio sofas, bemoaning the debasement of our politics and whatever else they can squeeze into their allotted two and a half minutes.
Either Chakrabortty is being highly disingenuous or he carries his own event horizon around with him. It is perfectly clear that Farage was engaging in rhetoric and metaphor. Being a journalist, I presume you have studied the English language and know what a metaphor is, you amoral piece of shit. It was not intended to be an actual call to violence and you would have to be unbelievably thick to think that it was. But never mind, this, apparently, has the same equivalence as attacking political candidates on the hustings and makes it okay. Moron. I also notice the poisoning the well fallacy being wheeled out. Why is it that modern journalists are incapable of presenting logically sound arguments? Why are they so utterly thick? I also notice that he is trying to claim that objection to violence is somehow being a member of the offenderati. Idiot. No, it isn’t. The offenderati, the professionally outraged, are those who complain about wrongthink or use unapproved words. Objecting to actual assault is not being professionally offended, it is the normal response of a moral person.
Although no fan of lobbing objects at others, or indeed of high-sugar dairy products, I must confess that my greatest upset was not on behalf of the contemptible Farage but at the revelation that milkshakes now cost £5.25. Nor did I shed a single tear when the far-right Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, took repeated dousings after he publicly accused “every single Muslim” of “getting away” with the 7/7 bombings. And when it was the turn of Carl Benjamin, whose most notable life achievement has been to joke about the MP Jess Phillips getting raped, I laughed. If this is Britain’s Milkshake Spring and these are its targets, then I can imagine worse.
It is assault and you laughed. That tells us everything we need to know about your moral compass, doesn’t it? Given that you are actively inciting violence here, how long before someone follows this creature’s calls to even further violence?
“Great that milkshakes have become a thing when it comes to the racists in our midst.
“I’d prefer acid but milkshakes will do for now I guess.”
This is what happens – escalation because it is okay to assault people once you have dehumanised them. This behaviour is assault. It is not okay. It was never okay. That the Guardian is actively encouraging and normalising such behaviour confirms their status as a nasty, evil, far left, fake news rag.
That Harold Wilson laughed off a similar event doesn’t make it okay. It wasn’t okay then and it isn’t okay now – it is assault. It is criminal damage and the people who do it need to be treated like the mindless thugs they are – not lauded, nor laughed about. Prosecuted and locked up.
That the mainstream media is now actively condoning and encouraging this behaviour finally decided for me a dilemma that has plagued me for a long time – which is worse, the politician or the journalist? Thanks Aditya Chakrabortty, you amoral arse dribble, I now know that it is the fake news dirty, dirty smear merchants of the mainstream press.
Found it! I always scour the page anytime Tommy Robinson is mentioned in a news article, for the inevitable “who’s real name is….” add-on. Not disappointed this time…. Well done Guardian columnist for reminding us of this for the 2,394,863rd time.
Also, don’t you just love the poisonous use of the “sometime politician” put down. He IS a politician.
Scum.
At least Farage has put himself in front of the electorate for validation, which is more than Chakrabortty and other preening columnists at The Grauniad have ever done.
“whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon”
Andy got there before me, but I’ll say it anyway. Leftists always gleefully add that bit when talking about Tommy Robinson, as though changing his name somehow invalidates him. To me it just makes them sound like prats with nothing else to say. It’s not just the writers, newspaper comments are full of it too
The irony being that the Left are insistent that if a man says he’s a woman (or vice versa) we must all agree, but when Tommy Robinson says his name is Tommy Robinson they all shriek ‘Oh no it isn’t!’
Frankly I catalogued Chakrabortty as a complete twat a few years ago. All he writes is stupid lefty drivel. Not that seems to be the requirement for Guardian opinion writers these days.
These people make up all kinds of absurd lies about the people who disagree with them and then convince themselves that the lies are true. That way they can justify their vile actions.
So it’s perfectly OK if I go and lob one at Chukus Y’Money or Commy Corbyn is it? what’s that? Sorry? Oh, they’re from the wrong parties to be dissed.
