This protestor’s attempt to disguise their identity wasn’t the win they thought it was and this A++ comeback said it best
It’s been a troubling, not to say outright depressing few days in the UK as far-right protestors went on the rampage in towns and cities across the country.
We’ve no reason to think this particular protestor was involved, obviously, but one thing’s for sure – they were very, very keen not to be easily identifiable.
Except whatever the hell they have on their head, it wasn’t the win they thought it was. For reasons which will surely be obvious to everyone … except him, as shared by the former editor of the Guardian over on Twitter.
Loving the guy on the left. Astutely wearing a balaclava to make totally sure that no-one could possibly find any way of identifying him pic.twitter.com/7FZNg8mHBL

And it prompted lots of funny responses …
amusingly, I think that's one of the balaclavas they give you if you go indoor go-karting. pic.twitter.com/gH8teinkrK

Forgot to cover up the tattoos. Will be a few agonising hours to have them removed.

These people are pretty stupid. They can take a heavy house brick to the head and there is no damage done.

… including some from people who simply didn’t get it, making the whole thing even better.
Tatoos will identify him

But there was one A++ comeback which surely said it all.
Don't tell him Pike

And so good it’s worth saying twice.
Don’t tell him, Pike! https://t.co/Lu9LY4onfc

And because you can’t watch it enough (you might have seen it once or twice, or 300 times already …)
