A plague on both your houses

And a few Anti Fash types will heckle them. Later on the internet both sides will claim the police were at fault. In the meanwhile the people of the area will ignore both sides and simply get on with their lives.

There is no viable, substantive, vote winning, well supported 'Left' or 'Right' in the UK and the claims by both sides about the other increasingly look like fleas arguing about who owns a bald mans head.

I agree with the above commenter

This kind of thing just attracts the kind of people who like confrontation like its somekind of hobby.

Rod versus Rockers; Eastside versus Westside; City versus Utd; whatever, its all the same shit. Some people like a Tribe and they like an Enemy Tribe to jeer at. Its hardwired into our evolution.
I don't think fighting even comes into it - its more about jeering / handwaving and posting on FB who has got the hardest cock. Its a thrill of tribal chanting and spear waving for a lot of people.

Two observations:
1) If the police said, "you can' do it here, but we've allocated a field that you can fight in and we wont interfere", I bet none of these lot would turn up from either side.
2) I wonder what anti-fasc would do with their time if the fasc didn't exist. They would probably conveniently find another cause to do some tribal shouting at.
3) Most normal people get this hardwired urge out of their system by attending football matches.
So is the urge to do so, that they pay a lot of money to get it out of their system.

This happened in Denmark

"If the police said, "you can' do it here, but we've allocated a field that you can fight in and we wont interfere", I bet none of these lot would turn up from either side. "


This is exactly what happened in Copenhagen Denmark and both sides nearly shat themselves. The local police chief pissed off with having groups running through the city on a Saturday made a public announcement that a former military base had been made available together with a medical team on standby from 9am the following Saturday, the police would not intervene and both sides would be able to have the 'confrontation' they claimed they wanted and which the police always stopped. The reaction from both Left and Right was nearly identical making it all the more funny - they both said they would have a rally and march in the town to protest against it !!!!!

No tribe for me

Max you make a good point. UAF for example seem to see fascists everywhere. Do you think they could be a state proxy to harass and intimidate anyone or group who doesn’t adhere to the left/liberal agenda.
