Unfortunately, some will just protest because it is inbuilt to protest at everything. I remember when I was a young man and the Tom and Jerry cartoon first came out and people could not understand the humour regarding a dog beating the crap out of a cat with a frying pan.
Most laughed, some felt the need to say it was cruelty to cats, so they came out to protest again.
Funny people.
Did they go and protest when it was at the Brighton Centre? Is there something particularly worse about it being at Churchill Square than there?
I only referenced ‘left leaning’ because we can all agree that our right leaning conspiracy theorist friends are loons. I do think there is often a lack of self awareness though from people on the other side who use similarly dismissive language about the media.
It seems even anti-vaccers who have got Covid, have said something like 'I was wrong, get the vaccine', and then die from it, isn't enough to deter these morons.
Unfortunately, these people don't want to be proved wrong, because they are so desperate to have something to protest about, a cause that 'allows' them a reason to put masks on, get their banners out, chuck smoke bombs, etc.
I'm sure the very same people will have been on the Brexit protest marches, Extinction Rebellion and whatever other excuses they can find to cause anarchy.
I must confess I have lost sight of the original point. In the case of the left there is a tendency to dismiss the Mail and Star as echo-chamber propaganda for morons whereas.....hang on, that's what I think too. Oh well
Back to topic then and in the same vein here are a couple of stories illustrating what we are up against whether it be from social or conventional media or quite frankly, just morons ;

The Iran story is from April 2020 but the one from the land of the free is today’s news.
Hmm, a completely different set of people.
What I can gather, the broadest (polite) term you can use to classify the anti vax lot is "libertarian"
The brexit / climate change protests, a completely different crowd, "progressive and pro science / evidence"
I'd be very surprised if the venn diagram of attendees crosses over one little bit.

If the OB can't be arsed to protect those who wish to be vaccinated, doesn't it then come down to us?
Are the anti-vax lunatics planning a repeat performance? If so, I will happily turn out to counter-demonstrate against these undemocratic morons trying to stop those wanting to get the jab. Anybody else?
It's all Trump's fault. He alone is responsible for the atmosphere he has generated in which experts are ridiculed, the media demonised, and conspiracy theories are the new norm. It has spread out from the US like a virus.

I went to demonstrate against this demonstration yesterday and was shocked by how mad these people are and also saw Kate Shemirani - the de facto leader of this wierd mob - speak .
I stood arguing with them surrounded by them as they filmed me - the tactics of a cult really. One or two of them were reasonable however I looked them all in the eye and said " you're mad , you're mad -- " etc etc as they looked at me literally with these vague far away eyes . I said to one of them " actually you look normal ", and to another " you're on weed .. " But they are brainwashed and they believe we are brainwashed . One of them told me i'd be dead in two years after having had the vaccine . If that's true then the world is f**ked as the only people left alive will be these , witless morons. As for Kate she speaks with the fervour of the Fuhrer and spouts similar toxic nonsense - ie nurses should be hanged for giving vaccines . This woman needs to be behind bars - even her son has disowned her . Frightening . For their next gathering I hope we can all go , 10,000 Albion fans , and make these fools realise they are on the other side of the argument .
