Does it really matter whether these people are left-wing, right-wing, or whatever?
The original demo was hijacked by those who wish to cause trouble, who want to cause chaos, mayhem and anarchy, not by people who fear the new Bill turning us into a Police state. If we were a Police state, the officers would not have stood with their shields to protect property and be the target of these thugs, they would have been armed, used tear gas, water cannon, paintballs and even live rounds as they do in Myanmar, Belaruse and so on.
These people are a danger to democracy not the opposite, and it will take years for Bristol to heal as it now seems to be a centre for disruption and violent protest. It will be a target for the lunatic squads of both left and right, I know, having lived in Bradford since 1982.
A great City having its reputation spoiled by whoever is responsible for these acts. Poor Bristolians.
