Yeah it's definitely new to see at a protest. I've seen armed cops around Glasgow since 2014 though, just on the streets sometimes

Pre-Plague Times you could usually see a few of them strutting about Newcastle with SMGs, typically around the big shopping centre. Just a mite bit worrying to look up from your overpriced pizza and see a tac'd up bizzie with his eyes and fingers twitching.

Genuinely every single time there is a police aligned protest in London the met basically don't turn up and then get battered by the protesters but if it's something they don't like they kick the poo poo out of protesters so it's always extremely funny when the police get beaten up

This tweet got deleted but from all the replies it looks like it was about militarized police. I find all the "wtf!?" responses kind of funny, In N. Ireland I grew up with this. Soldiers and APCs too.

The tweet said that police told observers they were under instruction to shoot protestors if they began damaging property

iirc it was phrased as "use force" so might have been disputed as "no we didn't mean the guns we brought out for the occasion, we meant the normal kind of force"

Ohhh, that's worse than what I imagined.

Hmm. I remember when there was a europe wide police convention of some sort here. Many coppers, from places like Germany, were confused as to why the PSNI were not using live rounds when protestors starting throwing molotovs and fireworks.

I guess it's because NOBODY here wants to deal with that kind of political fallout - see Bloody Sunday - which basically kick-started the Troubles. I don't think the conservatives would have any reservations, they obviously don't think about long term consequences.

tweet seems to be gone now, basically what im assuming is a higher up, "phillip", at the NIP gets caught using ablist language and refuses to be censored

also a bunch of stuff describing discord drama that makes it sound like the NIP is basically what would happen if the UKMT tried to create a nationalist party
with the normies asking whether there are any plans to stop the tories while the cool kids sharpen their shitposting blades

and the nationalist types not wanting to back anything thats "culture war" (which is an absolutely brain dead position to take in 2021 imo, you aren't gonna be able to back anything at all) so not wanting to back a fox hunting ban

Philip Proudfoot is the leader of the party. So, kind of an important person to be behaving like a poo poo.

British government officials were banned from doing any work on what to do with Trident if Scotland had voted to secede from the UK in September 2014, Gower said, because to do so was deemed by politicians to be an admission of defeat.

That was their attitude to brexit too.

I've a friend who is a worshipper at the feet of David Icke, believes covid is 'just the flu', vaccinations are some kind of Bill Gates trick, and she thinks contingency planning means that by the well-known law of physics, the Law of Attraction, will cause The Doom to come upon us.

I suggest the government is in thrall to the Ickeists.
