    The government are more interested in prosecuting a bunch of hippies that threatens their mouthpieces than a bunch of right wing fascists...
    I didn't spend much of my Saturday trawling the Mail & Graun either, funnily enough. Although a quick trip to Google sheds a little more light on your 'hippies':

    Extinction Rebellion listed as 'key threat' by counter-terror police | Extinction Rebellion | The Guardian

    Extinction Rebellion at war with itself after infiltration by Marxists

    Extinction rebellion protests: Climate change activists hit out at hard-left | UK | News | Express.co.uk

    The only difference being the 'fascists' didn't seem to be very organised. Stick to your whataboutery if it makes you feel better, though...
    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

      Ah, I wouldn't have taken you as a fascist apologist, still, continue as you were...
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        Progressive lefties would be (rightly) choking on their quinoa if the hard right were blocking the free press. But since it's a bunch of champagne swampies blocking the Murdoch press:



        Irredeemable snowflakes.

          The free press continues absolutely fine. Murdoch's outfit should sue organisers and participants for damages to make right their losses. The rest is just hysterical hand-wringing.

            Some of the free press is more free than the rest. That sounds like hysterical hand-wringing to me.

              Very, very far from it. Although I can see how a militant marxist apologist might see it that way...

                  BLM = Marxist, XR = Marxist, Anyone who doesn't agree with the right wing establishment = Marxist

                    Given that the stated aims of both are the complete overthrow of capitalism, and of one the complete removal of the police, I think 'marxist extremist' is a pretty fair label.

                      Now you're just rambling. The Times is as much a part of the free press as every other newspaper. But the articles were still written and published. Distribution of the printed version was affected, so those responsible should be sued. But this totalitarian, attack on the free press nonsense is simply hysterical hand wringing.
