Trump-loving freedom-of-speech aficionados attack London bookstore, judge books incorrectly by their covers

quote [ Ukip has suspended three party members - Elizabeth Jones, Luke Nash-Jones and Martin Costello - following an incident at Britain’s largest socialist bookshop when far-right protesters chanted fascist songs, tore up books and threatened staff. “They chanted about Muslims and paedophilia, and called us traitors. While not mentioning Tommy Robinson, the links are there to see,” the worker said. ]

They're getting bolder. But not smarter.

From The Mirror: Shocking footage of pro-Tommy Robinson thugs ransacking socialist bookshop chanting: 'We love Trump!'
The person filming the incident is shown apparently baffled by many of the books in the shop.

He exclaimed “oh my god” as he shows the camera a copy of “The Jewish Question”, by Abram Leon.

He accused the shopworker of being a “Jew hater”, despite his attempts to explain the book was a posthumously published study of the historic roots of anti-Semitism written by a man who died in a concentration camp.

Video of the attack by the baffled participant mentioned above, reuploaded after they shut their channel:

Far Right Fascists invade and trash Bookmarks Bookshop, London

With Pizzagate, QAnon, and now this, it seems Trump supporters have decided that accusing everyone they disagree with of being a pedophile is fashionable.

From last year in California: Right-wing protesters attack Revolution Books 3 times in 2 days after Milo Yiannopoulos’ appearance at UC Berkeley.

“They chanted about Muslims and paedophilia." In the last decade, it seems I can't enter the UK without hearing someone, either in person or on radio, mention pedophilia or badgers. My experience:

France: wine and cider
Spain: olives
Netherlands: peanut butter and corn chips
Italy: cheese
Sweden: coffee and chocolate
Austria: mountains
Germany: asparagus
Belgium: Intereuropean organizations and tax avoidance
Switzerland: particle accelerators
UK: pedophilia and badgers

That list looks like a menu. I'll have an extra large Sweden, please.

While they're at it perhaps they can stop all that suffrage as well. Why must the women suffrage so much?
