PERCEIVED fairplay is deadly important to Brits regardless of overriding thought process. Some people call it manners. c.f. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-10918880

You're talking about hotheaded, outnumbered groups of people venting at another a larger and equally obnoxious ideological group of people. Surely you see a difference between shouting juvenile one-liners at each other and invading a crowd, grabbing someone's property (vested with personal, symbolic and emotional meaning) and grinding it underfoot? Do you really think it's totally double standards to cheerfully do one but object to the other? Do you think all people that gather in a group to protest always share exactly the same ultra-polarized view? But "many British Catholics" are totally exempt from dangerously impractical preachings enforced by Papal Supremacy? Right.
