This country is getting like Spain in the 1930s where there is no effective centre ground just two extreme camps who loathe each other and where the civil authorities are unable/unwilling to do anything about it.
More evidence backing up eadric claims. Twitter is littered with these sort of incidents. As soon as one of the hooligans got isolated, it was punch a Nazi time.
Would posters on this site indulge a poster who claimed that violence against Jews "has to be seen in the context of what Jews did to the Canaanites"? I hope not. But people still indulge this bigot.
Like it or not, people on this site have indulged bigots for a long time. To take another example totally at random, asking when it would be necessary to give all British Muslims the choice between deportation or internment in concentration camps. Yet some may well doubt whether these two bigots were indeed two rather than one.
Labour is already close to 40% in the polls. There is every prospect of the party being in the 45% - 50% range later in the Parliament.
You are one of the dreamers I referred to earlier
Predicting polls going forward is for those who wish them to come about
Others like myself say I have not got a clue
Not at all - it is very unlikely that support for the main Opposition party peaks so early in a Parliament.
You know Justin, I have little interest in polls 4 years out from a GE
Talk to me again in Winter 2023
Huh? This is a betting website. There are markets up now on next UK GE. Wait til winter 23 if you like, but many if not most around here are very interested in polls.

First they came for the slave traders.....then they came for the wartime heroes....
Winston Churchill was the single man most responsible for ending the slaughter of the Jewish people. Without him, Britain would have come to terms in 1940, Hitler would have had long term control over continental Europe, and Europe's Jews would have been utterly wiped out.
It sickens me that people want to tear down his statue. They are the same scum that backed Corbyn.
In an ominous development, three senior Tories — a cabinet minister, a former No 10 aide and a former cabinet minister — all compared Johnson to Theresa May, unprompted.
“Back in the day, people said Theresa was paralysed and couldn’t make a decision — it’s like that with Boris,” the former aide said. “This flip-flopping and malaise comes from the very top. The likes of Rishi and Matt [Hancock, the health secretary] are pulling their hair out.”
These concerns are shared by quite senior people in No 10. Even one close Johnson ally said: “He seems to have gone back and forth a lot this week. He just can’t make his mind up.”
Ministers were furious that the schools U-turn and Johnson’s announcement on Wednesday that one-person households could “bubble” with another household was not even discussed in cabinet. One cabinet minister said: “What the f*** is going on, why has no one got a grip on this?”

This fits with the protests tending to be more prominent in relatively wealthy places like Bristol and Brighton, rather than Manchester or Birmingham.
