Compare and contrast

All ''extremists'' are not equal.
From the UK Telegraph:
How taxpayers are still funding the extremists

And from elsewhere in England
Three arrested as National Front protesters gather in Heywood

Notice the odd quality of the latter article. No indication is given of why these ''far right'' protesters were gathering. A very cryptic article, unless the reader has some idea of the background of the protest, and why the need for the heavy police presence. The council leader makes typical politically correct, mealy-mouthed statements about the 'communities' who make up his town, and makes disapproving noises about 'refusing to tolerate hateful views.' In other words, though the officials claim to support everyone's 'right to protest', some people's views are not to be tolerated, if the PC establishment arbitrarily deems them unacceptable.

It's glaringly obvious that the officials are more concerned with protecting the guilty and the predators, and cracking down on the people who are rightly outraged by recent events.

It's impossible not to notice who is given protection by the authorities, and who is deemed dangerous and dealt with heavy-handedly.
