There is no doubt in my mind, I also believe that the trouble that started was, in the first place, started by AGENT PROVOCATEURS, paid for by Whom? Is the problem, the Government, big Business the powers that be? You can see them in a lot of videos like this (videos showing unrest), all dressed in Black.

aardvark6535 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 If you go on a peaceful protest march, you ought to keep telling yourself that someone is going to try winding me/us up, to do something I/we didn't start out with any intention of doing. Keep thinking this, and you are less likely to get caught up in the moment, less likely to be led astray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead look up its founder-Brian Gerrish and his activities. I've come across them previously and was preparing an answer, with a few links, but got distracted by a previous post. Concern over extreme opinions Totnes Times Councillors have expressed concern about a group distributing extremist newspapers from the Shady Garden in the centre of Totnes. The group gives out copies of The Light, a free, far-right and anti-semitic newspaper which features conspiracy theories. It claimed Covid was a hoax and supports other extremist themes. They set up a marquee in the garden every Saturday which also features a giant banner for UK Column, a website featuring conspiracy theories and antisemitism. UK Column: Covid conspiracy theories run wild on the channel for lockdown sceptics The Times via archive.is At first glance the slick production looks like the work of Sky News or the BBC but this is not a conventional news channel. Brian Gerrish, a former Royal Navy lieutenant commander, nods in approval as his co-presenter tells the audience: “The Public Health England report seems to show very clearly that should you fall ill with Covid-19 as a vaccinated person, you’re much more likely to die as a result.” https://hopenothate.org.uk/case-files-uk-column/ HNH, so several members here will immediately dismiss it. UK Column is a conspiracy theory-oriented online media outlet. Founded in 2006 by Brian Gerrish and aiming to “highlight the rise of a dangerous political dictatorship”, UK Column was originally a small newsletter but has grown into a website that produces a regular stream of articles, video content and occasional offline meetings. The site received a considerable boost during the COVID-19 pandemic, and remains a significant voice in the UK conspiracy theorist alternative media. UK Column also has areas of overlap with the far right. For example, the site has focussed on Drag Queen Story Hour, in step with a broader far-right backlash against the children’s storytelling events, which UK Column presented as a deliberate plot to “brainwash” children. Far-right ideologies promoted by the outlet include the “Cultural Marxism” theory, and even the “Kalergi Plan”, a variant of the White Genocide conspiracy theory that alleges that a sinister plot is underway to wipe out white Europeans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We now have many different factions banding together out of sheer frustration. All are wanting a better deal, and more say in what happens but are deliberately ignored. The ballot box / democracy and isn't working. There are parish councillors, City/Borough Councillors etc and MPs, they need to be actively doing good work for the conspiracy theorists to look like fools.

Those damn far right nutters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
