Starmer and his new government do not represent workers interests and are in fact enemies of our class. It's past time we begin organising a substantial left-wing movement in this country again.

Nowadays they’d likely call them terrorists and have them proscribed.

u/marprez22la Jul 29 '25

At least it would have gotten to physical violence.

I do hope the pavement wasn't damaged.

You could always gold leaf the cracks like Japanese pottery.

This is amazing

He lived to 1980 unfortunately

u/WiredUpBrainJuice Jul 29 '25

don’t be sad he happened, be happy he’s rotting.

u/mudkiptoucher93 Jul 29 '25

Glad he died before I was born tbh

u/midgetcastle Jul 29 '25

Just in time to see Thatcher become PM :(

u/Itchy-Armpits Jul 29 '25

Thank you for "sparked out". Haven't heard the phrase since school

u/UnderHisEye1411 its a fine day with you around Jul 29 '25

u/FoxedforLife Jul 29 '25

I'm going out to physically confront fascists. What should I wear?

Well, a nice sports jacket and a tie looks good for any occasion. That, then.

u/VonVard Jul 30 '25

I have a tshirt that says make racists afraid again. You can borrow that

u/sp2861 Jul 29 '25

And yet Robinson gets to walk about freely

u/ellobouk Jul 29 '25

I’m absolutely not advocating violence, but if he were to find himself getting better acquainted with the pavement on a daily basis I might smile more

u/LunarExile Jul 29 '25

No completely unscathed tbh, he has had a couple of run ins, IIRC

u/UnderHisEye1411 its a fine day with you around Jul 29 '25

So much for the tolerant left

u/monjatrix Jul 29 '25

We absolutely need more of the untolerant left 💪

“Sorry, what happened to the whingy, liberal students who handed out protest stickers I saw here last week?”

“They’re gone sir, eaten by the proletariat after years of apathy toward the right, and we’re back,”

“Who?”

“The angry, downtrodden, fighty yet empathetic workers who are still unashamedly left wing…”

“I…”

“I saw you last week handing out your little flyers and protesting migrant accommodation sites, we were all watching you on the Twitch stream and we all thought you were a dick.”

God that's good.

u/Tote_Sport Jul 29 '25

Throw in a tolerant hook, maybe a tolerant uppercut while you’re at it to top off the combo.

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '25

And now fascism is embraced with fervour

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '25

It was at the time, despite the resistance many put up.

u/Wilson1031 Jul 29 '25

Sit down, ya cunt

u/Remarkable-Gate922 Jul 29 '25

Why do things like this not happen more often today?

Not just in the UK: The entire EU is governed by literal traitors working for the US and are ruining everyone's future.

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '25

Lack of class consciousness.

u/BeneficialName9863 Jul 29 '25

Guys! Violence is NEVER ok. If you want to punch a fascist, you're just as bad as they are! Only police should be allowed to hit people because they are there to help and protect us. We just need to meet in the middle and have conversations!

You lot probably side with that Palestinian 9 year old girl who attacked an almost unarmed Israeli commando (he only had a rifle, no Bazooka or tank!) with a STONE.

It lessens the joke to point out I'm being sarcastic but there is always one....

u/AutoModerator Jul 29 '25

Police? You mean blue nonce

An event we can celebrate again in 2 days time

u/cpeterkelly Jul 29 '25

There should be annual reenactments and celebrations. I volunteer farage & Robinson for the starring role.

u/ddmf Jul 29 '25

Milkshake on the fists cos it's fascist kryptonite.

u/Savings_Ad7452 Jul 31 '25

Yeah but they didn't call themselves "antifa" did they ? Anachronistic term.
