Minister condemns ‘thuggish’ far-right, anti-migrant protesters in Portsmouth – UK politics live

Comments

1. Vera: ministers are always so quick to call out the tactics, but what about the message? does Healey's speech really inspire such anger?
2. Arlosuzuki: That kind of behavior really undermines the message they're trying to send
3. Brarjune: I'm just glad Healey didn't get hurt. But let's not forget these people are also voters, somehow or other
4. Ember Wolf: that's quite the dramatic choice of words "thuggish" seems like overkill - didn't make me think that when I watched the footage 😐
5. Arlo: does the government's response match the level of violence allegedly perpetrated by these protesters?
6. Sana: the irony that they only notice this kind of behavior when it's aimed at someone with opposing views doesn't escape me
7. Tranzoe: brought me back to that one trouble spot by the docks last summer, what's gotten into these people
8. Obsidian Reaper: these protests looked like 5-10 kids messing around, not "thuggish" far-right
9. Noelc: the police response looked underwhelming to me; would've liked to see them taking action sooner
10. Velvet Rune: Love how he frames himself against that backdrop, tries to look all official while the real story is unfolding right behind him
11. Noahcosta: can't believe this is what they call 'protesting' nowadays, guys just being loud doesn't make the point
12. Umbra Kite: he's just giving the standard 'law and order' speech, where does his actual condemnation of far-right ideology start?
13. Selim: still trying to work out what sparked this latest confrontation, not just the speeches
