Jesus Christ man... We have had successive governments implementing increasingly Draconian crackdowns on various forms of protests yet through that an increasingly radicalised reactionary fringe of people becoming determined to hit protesters with their car.

Just read that the WhatsApp group Andrew Gwynne was posting all his comments in had 44 members at its peak.
It's genuinely mental that an MP would be posting things like that in a group that big. What did he think would happen??
Shows how untouchable they think they are.
