I just wanted to urge caution when reading and using something that is covered by the Daily Mail to support anti-lockdown argument. It's true they are almost exclusively the only rag that is reporting from an anti-lockdown perspective, but they are absolutely not to be trusted.

I never believed in psyops until the day I watched from the fringe of the first UK PEGIDA rally in Newcastle, and witnessed MSM staged violence.

I'd not attended something like this before so kept a distance just to see how things would play out - and I'm glad I did. It had been extremely calm (except for the raucous counter "anti-racism" rally nearby), just a crowd of people stood listening to speeches and chatting amongst themselves. Until, I noticed, a group of around 12 stereotypical tattooed "nazis" came round the corner, stopped to talk to the police and cameramen, then merged into the crowd.

Within minutes, the mood drastically changed and there was chanting and lots of activity near the front of the stage. Objects started flying to and from the counter-protest, scuffles broke out in several places, and coincidentally, the cameramen and police were always very close-by.

After the rally in the late afternoon, the MSM had blanket coverage showing a very different account of the demonstration to what I had witnessed. Unsurprisingly, those people with the cameras worked for the likes of the Daily Mail who had produced a large hit-piece, tarnishing those who attended the rally and depicting the counter rally as virtuous freedom fighters and innocent tearful children.
