Given the huge support of free speech on here I expect the majority of the forum oppose this bill.
It’s all kicking off in Bristol

Policing by consent - well I give my consent to water cannon and tear gas these retards .
Antifa again I assume ?

Because they don't have the numbers to do anything.
Yeah. But this violence and disorder will now be used to promote the need for this bill.

Sadly a lot of people here only seem to support free speech when it allows them to say misogynistic/homophobic/racist things.

I expect many are against the bill but also against this reaction to it. Police are too soft these days but given the recent protests for Sarah E you can understand their reluctance to go in too heavy handed.

Antifa need locking up.
I support the right to a peaceful protest, I've done a couple of union marches but when the rent a mob show up and want a kick off then policing should be robust and swift - sadly that doesn't seem to be any form of deterrent.
The sentencing should also be the same, I remember my Prison receiving stayed open 24h during the London riots to receive people on remand for partaking due to the amount of arrests and the Police backlog, that was a long week.

Hopefully they are all brought to justice, not that I think we have much of that in this country anymore.

Bristol twinned with Mos Eisley
... at least in my mind.

Is this now the default argument, blame Antifa. Weaksauce
Well, apart from in this case, they clearly identified themselves and their involvement.

When masked up people in black and carrying AntiFa flags start rioting and multiple AntiFa Twitter accounts are posting about 'this only being the start', it's pretty hard not to blame AntiFa. But hey, if you're happy living in your little delusion...

Wasn't there 1 Antifa flag in the whole crowd?
Ergo 1000's of people are part of Antifa?
Ergo 1000's of people are part of Antifa?
So if 1000 people turned up to a Tommy Robinson rally you wouldn't call them all racist Nazis?

Damn, you beat me to it.
Completely agree, anyone who's prosecuted for inciting violence should be given a lifetime ban for entering the center of Bristol.
Why are Twitter not closing these down, i'm all for free speech, but these groups are practically bordering on terrorist activity.

No, I wouldn't call everyone who attends a Tommy Robinson rally "Nazis" as that would be ludicrous.
However, he doesn't really seem to organise protests about much in particular other than a bit of self promotion, whereas this is a protest opposing a bill which pushes us towards a police state.
I don't support violence towards officers or police animals. I don't support smashing up police vehicles or setting them in fire, or smashing windows. But as usual a hardcore element did that and everybody here tars them with the same brush.

Important updates on the wrap thinking so far.
'Taka Taka' sounds rad, so good they named it twice. I'm suggesting 8, maybe even 8.5, out of 10 on name alone.
'Shake Wrap and Roll' is a let down. It's not even a comically bad/good name, vis a vis calling your salon 'Hair Today Gone Tomorrow' (a-ha!). It's a clunky 5 out of 10 I'm afraid.
Let's all wait patiently while @Nitefly and @Junglist do whatever it is they do with their lives when they're not providing evidence of best wrap in Bristol.
