Durham Miners Gala

it's not like. it's a left wing solidarity event, its about trade unions and socialism. its all inclusive. these right wing fuck nuts turned up to cause bother, simple as. not tit for tat at all. they knew exactly what they were doing. thankfully the good, normal members of the public didn't rise to the bait and ignored them by the sounds of it, and the police did their jobs.

its got nowt to do with the union flag. like people have said, the union flag is prominent on loads of the colliery banners. its nowt to do with Palestine either. its to do with a group of people trying to start trouble, and incite hatred with innocent members of the public

Not being funny but is a right wing fucknut any worse than a left wing fucknut. We don't seem to have any tolerance of other opinions any more, especially those that accuse others of intolerance.

It's embarrassing. Folk jumping on a Corbyn bandwagon from outside the region. If its for local tradition go and find me 5 Palestine flags now on show in County Durham...... You'll struggle. Why don't you see these flags across the region given its mainly Labour?

It's quite clear why the right wing idiots were removed. They weren't there just innocently remembering soldiers.
But the hard left have long since hijacked this event. My father and many other members of my family were miners. They were good, honest, hard working ordinary people. Scruffy militants never represented them. What I want and what they wanted was a Labour government that put people first, not their own agenda. Corbyn won't deliver that because he's too embroiled in extremism.
The DMG should be a celebration and remembrance of mining communities and their values.
The hard right and hard left can get fucked.

i meant that the reason the racist cock wombles got politely asked to fuck off by the police was nowt to do with palestine, nowt to do with the trade unions either, or the miners gala, or because it was a left wing socialist leaning event. and especially, it had fuck all to do with them waving a union flag. they were removed because they were looking to cause bother, simple as. its not 'tit-for-tat' as no one else there was looking for bother.

complete and utter set of fannies who are crying about the very treatment that they accuse others of being 'snowflakes' about

I disagree with you strongly. Both sets of people generally think there is only one side of an argument and generally shout down any other voices aggressively.
