This appeared on my facebook feed.

I like her attitude about younger people needing to get involved and take notice of what's happening around them*.

*I thought the bubble floating past her head is quite cool too. Like an 'orb of goodness' or something.

The far right have perhaps proportionally more support here in Czech Republic than in the UK - it certainly seems that way - and people's attitudes overall are several steps further to the right when it comes to race, so I was extremely pleased to see this photo, and to read that the counter-demonstration of which the girl was a part considerably outnumbered the fascists

Incidentally, Brno is a lovely little city and well worth a visit (for a day or two) if you're ever in the area.

I once got 3 claps of sarcastic applause from a teenage girl walking along with her friend while cycling vaguely quickly down a side road, I felt like that was how things are supposed to be, nobody is as scathing as teenagers.

We probably need to send them in large numbers to demonstrations.

It looks like he just trying to explain to her that the heavy syncopation and vibrant brass sound makes early ska superior to ed Sheeran.

Probably people bullying Timmd (and not without good reason. "Orb of goodness" FFS)

I'm a closet hippy.

Edit: There 'was' a winky smiley to show it was tongue in cheek.

I quite liked "orb of goodness " , brought back memories of crap fantasy novels in my youth.

My son stood up - or rather sat down - to a Serbian neo-nazi/skinhead on a train to Belgrade a couple of years ago. He'd booked a seat but found it occupied by this sizeable twunt but faced him down despite being skinny and fairly short.

He does however have a rigid sense of fairness and likes his comforts.

I'd probably have slunk off somewhere
