Where Do You Stand?

by Les May
TWO cuttings caught my eye yesterday.

From the ‘i’:

Nigel Farage’s fans have been heckled with chants of “Nazi scum” while attending an event during his tour of Australia and New Zealand. In Perth the United Against Bigotry and Racism group held a demonstration. They shouted “Nazi scum off our streets” at those who attended one of Mr Farage’s events, according to The Guardian.

From ‘BWL’:

In the coastal town of Warmington a group of bikers carrying crash helmets and dark visors heckled a group of demonstrators demanding the dismissal of bank manager Frank Pyke with chants of “Ban the Burka”. Last week Mr Pyke refused to allow a woman in an all enveloping garment cash a cheque.’

So what are your feelings about the behaviour of the hecklers described in these two cuttings?

Do you object to the first but not the second?

Do you object to the second but not the first?

Do you object to both?

Do you object to neither?
