She's a Trumpian propagandist at heart. Appealing to the least interrogative of voters with broad, unfounded and simplistic slurs.

And Badenoch the worst possible form of opposition. "He's got it all wrong, it's all terrible, bad bad bad." No substance, just a critical automaton.

That is Final Destination tier. 👏

I don't have a contribution but just wanted to say the writers of Final Destination are undoubtedly harvesting these replies as we speak.

Hi there. I lived there as a child, and my parents did for many years. May be able to answer any questions you have? Feel free to drop me a private message.

"Yeah the anteater chased me." "Wow, jeez."

He'll be hoping it will. Trump is in his way.

A confession but also an angling for a promotion.

Interesting, thanks for that. I'll try to pick one up next time. Got a personal archive of leaflets / flyers / bust cards going back years, they provide useful context.
I've no doubt my face is in some unwanted group chats by now, so appreciate the need to cover up. Glad to hear people get it.

I mean that's people in the crowd many of whom were probably there to support in the first place, as opposed to the average passer-by. But point taken. This wasn't an attack on BB I think it's necessary and powerful. Just that it comes with some caveats I guess.
Thanks for respectful discussion.

Absolutely agree. Didn't spot the leaflets, that's great.

Those of us embedded in these situations regularly know what Tenconi + his mates really are. But the average Joe just walking by sees a group of men in suits and a group of balaclavas, without any context. They don't even know what the protest's about.
Playing devil's advocate, that's all.

The public in the crowd who are already supportive, yes. Those just passing by are always more mixed in how they see it, especially when the likes of Tenconi capitalise on it shouting "they're hiding their faces" etc.
Brilliant to see BB explaining the real reasoning to the crowd though. 👏

Yeah, I get it. It's a tricky balance, think that was my point. Fully understand why some level of black bloc was effective. My original response to you was simply that beyond a certain number the negatives may start to outweigh the positives, i.e. public perception vs strength.

And just politely shared an observation, on a platform designed for polite discourse. Weird reaction tbh. Have a nice evening anyway. ✌️

Yeah I've seen him at countless TRobinson marches in London in that garb. At one point in Bristol he was giving "FYIs" to the police like he was one of them. The way a teenager would. They brushed him off.

Yeah, not a great look, particularly when you've turned up in a flak jacket with tactical add-ons. 🤦

I didn't. It was done very carefully to avoid cameras. Got a few of his mates though. (Credit if shared)

If only there were a way they could've avoided the risk in the first place.

It's giving Dance Mat circa 2006.

Ha. Thought the same.
