Indeed, because there was a "centrist" Tory government which did not attempt to control us, in fact presided over the "swinging sixties". Thanks for that Harold Wilson, '64 to '70. That was the swingiest period, wasn't it? Ah, you were mixing up Wilson and Atlee. Rationing under Atlee carried over from the War. Rationing made sure everyone got enough and prevented mass starvation. I'm going to leave you to your hoped for socialist/communist nirvana which thankfully will never happen here again, the electorate are too savvy. If they stood any chance they would be streets ahead in the opinion polls given the state of the present government. At a general election the press would destroy them Sadly this means another hard right government, even harder than this one, a direct result of the current Opposition

As bad as Stalin, they were.

Nobody from whatever political persuasion should put up with that type of behaviour in a country that holds dear free speech. Those who heckled with vigorous aggression were covered in scarves, hoodies and sunglasses which I think is cowardly.
I’m all for debate, but I think what happened here was intended to be intimidatory. What is our country coming too?

Their is an underclass who feel that no matter how much an issue is debated their voice is not heard or listened too, many are young people who have joined Momentum.

I dont think they are doing themselves any favours by acting in an intimidating way.

The first punch was thrown by one of Rees-Moggs' lot.
That's the type that join the Tory party.

Threw an egg at close range, thought he'd be ok. I bet the bastard never expected that.
Good old Prezzer.

Tory supporter throws a punch at a demonstrator - thug Dep PM throws a punch at a demonstrator - hero Dreamland, just like their boring mantra about privatising the NHS for which there is no evidence whatsoever

Hitting someone with an egg is nothing more than free speech now?
And there is a hell of a lot of evidence about the Tories privatising the NHS, if you'd only look at it.

I think this nonsense has been peddled by the Left from way back in the 80s and possible before. I can certainly imagine Michael Foot churning this out. It has become a bore but is still used by the Left because they have nothing else Can anyone point me to anyone who has had to pay for NHS medical services during this period, other of course than those who have gone abroad for specialist treatment. No problem with those who have to pay for glasses, teeth, podiatry etc but still free for those who can't pay
