Whatever your views about UKIP or any other political party or personality, attacks, harassment, intimidation and persecution are criminal activities. Those who go around engaging in criminal activities will find themselves facing the wrong end of a gun.
The Political Establishment and the Mass Media are all too ready to launch attacks against those who do not fit in with their political agenda. Mass Media reporting is extremely biased and constantly misrepresents those that they don't like.
What happened to UKIP activists in Leicester, England, United Kingdom is not new. It has been happening on a regular basis and is promoted by certain mass media including some BBC operators that are part of a network of organisations.
After each Tommy Robinson's rally, you will find camera crews and photographers ready to capture any actions that they would later depict under the headline 'Far Right Thugs engage in Violence'.
Police Crews are placed strategically to video and photograph those attending rallies and Police crews are briefed in a very negative manner about the people that they are going to find during rallies. They are mentally programmed to react in a negative manner against people whose sole crime is to take part in a peaceful demonstration.
Those who report about the Storm Troopers of the 1930s conveniently fail to remember that there were so called Red Brigades that were always looking for a fight. The Storm Troopers and the Red Brigades existed because of the actions of those acting like the Political Establishment and the Mass Media are acting today.
When Jo Cox MP was killed, we heard choirs of expressions of grief inside and outside Parliament of those who condemned political violence. Paradoxically, when violence is exerted against another side of the political spectrum they are very willing to justify attacks against UKIP and other political organisations.
More than once individuals like Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson and others have been targeted because of the messages of hatred spread by the Political Establishment and the mass media including the British Broadcasting Corporation. Listening to John Bercow as Speaker of the House of Commons and to other Members of Parliament you realise that there is a hatred campaign promoted from the very top.
This is not just about Hope Not Hate or the UAF that I renamed Hate Not Hope and United Against Freedom whose followers I have seen attacking political opponents using balaclavas and baseball bats.
Unless attitudes change and violence of all political colours is publicly rejected, unless the Political Establishment, the Mass Media and para political organisations do realise that there is going to be a boomerang effect, we are going to reach a point in which the political environment will be completely out of control and action will be followed by reaction.
