1. No one deserves to be attacked on the street in this country
2. Owen Jones is a massive ultra-cunt

It’s funny Jones is blaming ‘the far right‘ for attacking him when it could just as easily be lefties or homophobes who think he’s an attention-seeking gobby little shit!
Where’s the evidence? Fake news for political gain?
As you can see, it’s so easy to fake your own attack... 😀

a far right group give him a shoeing yet they say nothing as they attack him ? There’s absolutely no evidence this is far right thuggery. The Socialist Labour Party might be responsible given its massively pro Brexit stance. Of course, someone taking political advantage of a random assault is really the least likely reason (ahem).

Police are keen to interview a 70 year old man with a Scottish accent and an ill fitting toupee.

“I don’t know if they said anything during the melee”
Don’t know ? You either know or you don’t. Sounds dodgy to me, surely a bunch of tanked up far right idiots would make sure he knew why he was being attacked ?... nothing was said at all ?seems unlikely.
It was Probably just your classic post pub scuffle and he’s added a political angle to it.

Anybody on here identify as ‘the far right’?
A few replies to this thread remind me of when Stoke fans are linked with random trouble. “How do you know they’re Stoke fans?”, “There is absolutely no evidence that these were Stoke fans.” “Any evidence that these were far right?”
The far right seems to be on the march on this forum.

Jones is prone to vast exaggeration and opportunistic interpretation, so I guess it's hard to know what really happened.

The exact response I expected on the Everything Racist board! A bigger cesspit than twitter this place 😂 You posted under the subject heading as 'The far right is on the march in our country' and to justify that heading you quoted a tweet from someone who wasn't even at the incident but accepts the account of a left wing political activist who has made a spurious allegation without any evidence whatsoever. Is that about right?

I’m not far right just sceptical of the narrative that’s being pushed by some that it’s on the rise, the far right is tiny in the UK.

Is that about right? And references a factually incorrect, blantantly biased news article for good measure. Sheiky, like so many of the self righteous lefty moral majority, let their party political hatred blind themselves to the fact that life ain’t quite as simple as left = good, right = bad. One day he may grow up. In the meantime he continues to post stuff that you’d expect to see from a student at LSE.

The far right have never been weaker in this country, far from being on the march. You have to remember that nowadays 'far right' means anyone who disagrees with the far left. It used to be the case that we had the far left, the left, the centre left, the centre, the centre right, the right & the far right. In 2019 we've got the far left & 'literally Hitler', that's it. That's so last year. Nowadays Jeremy Corbyn is "literally Hitler" and Hitler and the Nazis were "literally socialists". Meaning the far left and the far right are "literally" as stupid as each other.

The far left won 30 more seats at the last election and the right lost 13. Hardly suggests the 'far right' are on any sort of march.

The left/right dichotomy is increasingly irrelevant and anachronistic I watch an old political debate show Firing Line with William F. Buckley, and it's striking how similar the discussions are to today. I wonder what happened to some of the young radicals, did they mellow with age? One thing I have noted is the level of debate was much higher and detailed than it is now(in general). Some cracking guests on it, too.

There's a great one where he interviewed Groucho Marx. Fascinating seeing a totally different side to the comedian.
