Middle England judges the Climate Camp protesters

Middle England, reflected by the readers of the Daily Mail have spoken. According to these greatly educated and insightful observers, the Climate Camp protesters are typically louts, scroungers, and law breakers who should be dealt with by force, intimidation and benefits assessments.

The readers of the Daily Mail have passed judgement on the Climate Camp protesters. Read their collective wisdom in the comments section, the link to which is posted below.

If these are the likes that the protesters are demonstrating on behalf of, I'd say let the fuckers choke on their own bitter bile and toxic emissions from fossil fuelled technology.

Interestingly enough, the comments all seem to be of like mind: right wing, reactionary, on the side of "law and order" (that's a joke) and feeling hard done by the protesters who are risking safety and well-being at the hands of those same enforcers of "law and order", as well as multiple deprivations. I don't know if this attitude demarcates the Daily Mail reader, or is an expression of one or a small handful of people, or simply the DM's editorial policy. But, if these people have any influence on government or reflect the values of middle England ... then god help us all!
