"Hence it would be desirable to have a re-set, depoliticise the issue in the process and thereby remove the debate about whether it is appropriate to boo or not completely. Unless somebody has an ulterior political motive, what's not to like about that."
Yeah let's "depoliticise" protests against racism, astounding idea...
Racism is an issue that should be above the politics of ANY party. Equality should be a given entitlement and that people that try to weaponize it for political gain, consistently only leads to division and violence from both ends of the spectrum.
Political parties should have cross party agreement on policies towards equality and racism. It should be written in stone and unwavering as should their response when violence flares up from either the left or right.
Nobody should seek to exploit the issues for votes, but they do and that's why political parties are mealy mouthed when it comes to condemning violent protest. They are simply too invested in trying to secure identity issue voters and will not draw back from any position that may upset their target group.
