I don’t think it’s a defence of Farage. But trying to create an understanding that what you find objectionable, may not be the same as someone else. For instance, pro life peeps, feel incredibly strongly against someone wanting an abortion. Are they then entitled to throw tit at someone who has had an abortion, because it goes deeply against what they think is right?
When one party advocates or allows violence against another HOW do you police it? Where do you draw the line? You can’t! Because each ‘side’ believes they are right!
