The Academics Say BOTH sides think Violence against MP's is worth it

I would agree, but no number of additional wrongs is ever going to make things right. We need a very large dose of common sense with just a smidgen of charitable thought.

Politicians are not charitable or wise,they are driven by power and money.They are not honourable and use the media as a weapon of mass destruction.

Remain started the whole thing,by their leaders spreading malicious lies that said if enough leavers died they would win,open encouragement of violence.Which was proved wrong at the EU election,which now they would rather forget.

Isn't there enough violence both physical and verbal at every opportunity without what appears as further encouragement  for all to dispense with anything even vaguely resembling self control? From road rage to pointless political violence, it seems anything goes as long as it drags humanity even lower.

There doesn't appear to be any link to the poll cited in the article. Are Sky News expecting us to just take their word on this? Shoddy journalism.



Here is a link to Cardiff Universities page on the issue with links to the survey results at the bottom of the page - https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/news/view/1709008-future-of-england-survey-reveals-public-attitudes-towards-brexit-and-the-union">https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/news/view/170 ... -the-union">https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/news/view/1709008-future-of-england-survey-reveals-public-attitudes-towards-brexit-and-the-union



Time to start work so I'll check out the survey data later.

Well, I have been saying this is what Parliament has been risking for some time, although I'll be honest, I'm surprised the Bollocks To Brexit Brigade think the same way as the leavers with their in-built advantage of antidemocratic scum in SW1A 0AA working to their advantage.
