You don't defeat Robinson with contempt. All over Europe the left has no answer to any of this, in France they've stitched together a rickety coalition to keep them out of power and though here the numbers are much smaller, that march on the weekend was no small affair.
Progressives have no counter argument, they deal with this stuff with jokes, ridicule and hollow meaningless slogans, they disparage these people in a way that would be totally unacceptable if they were Afro-Caribbean, if it was kicking off in Brixton would you have talked about £50 worth of damage? Or got so many likes?
Of course you wouldn't.
Reprehensible as many of these people are, unable to articulate their grievances or even formulate them in their head, their anger is real and unless it is addressed in an honest and meaningful way, then progressives need to keep their mouths shut, coz they're effectively abandoning these people to the likes of Robinson.
