I mean this is definitely true - but it rather overlooks the endless angry energy that comes from the right - and not even the far right. Just pick up any issue of Telegraph or Spectator. Or have a look at Priti Patel discussing starving the Irish when Brexit negotiations weren't going well for them. Or some far right idiot killing Jo Cox. Or newspaper articles talking about the need to "kill Corbyn" https://www.medialens.org/2016/killing-corbyn/ left vs right aside for a moment - one thing I already know but this thread proves - you have to be some kind of either lunatic or legend to want to become a councillor. The amount of vitriol (again, from all sides to all sides - but primarily just from average voters) makes it an impossible task for negligible reward or even achievement -
I'd say the far left had pretty good reasons to be angry, but that discussion is one for the lounge. -
But we have to remember the jumper incident is actually a badge of honour for those on the left and the person he overthrew actually liked that Christmas post! Cllr McAsh has already had more than his fair share of run-ins with the right-wing press after he got a lot of coverage in the Mail after he called on people on social media to intercept an immigration raid in Peckham. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10908569/ringleaders-Peckham-mob-forced-border-cops-release-suspect-include-Marxist-teacher.html I did feel sorry for him for that Mail article as it is an awful rag but, again, in some circles probably considered a badge of honour. -
Where was he wearing it? Presumably not when he was in an official capacity? I think the Tories have well and truly f***ed themselves, tbh. Having f***ed up the country in the process.
