These riots throughout the country 08:58 - Aug 3 with 20749 views | onceablue | Are really inappropriate and awful but I can’t help feeling that Kier Starmer isn’t helping the situation There have have been lots of violent instances recently but comments differ so drastically from Starmer depending on who is doing the rioting. The people rioting in Leeds were not called violent thugs by Starmer although setting fire to police car and bus The people who attacked the police at Manchester Airport were not called violent thugs by Starmer In fact Starmer defended them Yet if the indigenous population protest they are called violent thugs If you set fire to a police car and attack the police you are a violent thug regardless of your origin and you should be called so |  | | |  |

These riots throughout the country on 14:32 - Aug 4 by Whos_blue | Just seen this. Surrounding a hotel used to home migrants. Approx 1000 protestors currently there. Windows smashed already. The anti racist protestors have left. I don't know, but possibly advised to by the Police? In other news, I was appalled to see firefighters were attacked in Liverpool last night as they were trying to fight a fire in a library set by protestors. They only shred of hope is that people might see these scum for what they are. In the meantime, Farage, Oakeshott et al are tweeting not to blame the far right. Dog whistling C units. |

From BBC: Windows and doors have been smashed at the hotel, and a large bin has been set alight outside the building It's all just so pathetically tragic. |  |

These riots throughout the country on 19:35 - Aug 3 by textbackup | Getting this from videos on Twitter, which is where most people have been getting their news about ‘far right’ riots too. Guessing it’s BS though if it’s not the news you want to hear. It’s funny you think rioters are the same as people walking the streets with weapons though. |
Not sure why Far Right is in ‘’…. Are they not far right ? These people burning down town centres, assaulting and intimidating foreigners. I’ve been in the north east for the last week, I’ve seen the damage with my own eyes. I assume I’m misinterpreting and you aren’t actually questioning if these people are far right ? |  |

Given that Yaxley-Lennon was advertising this all in advance, I hope that the authorities had the presence of mind to evacuate the place overnight. If, hopefully, that is the case, is it wrong to hope that the morons can be left to their own devices and do as much damage to their so-called cause as possible? |  |

These riots throughout the country on 15:44 - Aug 4 with 1619 views | Zx1988 | Those in power simply have to start calling this out as the domestic terrorism that it is, and start charging/sentencing accordingly. Not just those on the ground, but also those hiding away in Spain, on their Irish passports, pulling the strings. |  |

These riots throughout the country on 18:35 - Aug 4 with 1344 views | DJR | Police Scotland said yesterday that they were not expecting similar events in Scotland, but Yaxley-Lennon is trying to provoke things there. This from the Guardian. "The Scottish first minister, John Swinney, has warned against “unhelpful speculation” relating to the stabbing of a woman in Stirling. The woman, 21, was treated in hospital for a “non-life threatening” injury on Saturday and a 29-year-old man was arrested in relation to the attack, which took place at about 8.20pm on the town’s King Street. Social media reports on Saturday suggested three people had been stabbed and the attacker had appeared to be Muslim. However, in an unusual move for the force, Police Scotland said the man arrested was white and from the local area. The rumour had been promoted by Tommy Robinson, the founder of the English Defence League (EDL)." |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

These riots throughout the country on 14:11 - Aug 4 by DJR | As if to prove my point, this is the now deleted statement of the Tory Hampshire PCC, and Chair of the Association of PCCs. "The announcement of the Prime Minister’s new Violent Crime Units have lead to an accusation of two tier policing, which has enflamed protestors who state they are battling to protect Britain’s sovereignty, identity and stop illegal immigration. Burning towns and cities and attacking the police is not the answer, so how do we stop it? “I’ve spoken to people from both sides of the spectrum and the only way to stem the tide of violent disorder, is to acknowledge what is causing it. Whilst the devastating attacks in Southport on Tuesday were a catalyst, the commonality amongst the protest groups appears to be focused on three key areas: the desire to protect Britain’s sovereignty; the need to uphold British values and in order to do this, stop illegal immigration.

These riots throughout the country on 22:02 - Aug 3 by factual_blue | The BBC is the only source of dispassionate, unbiased news coverage. We're very lucky to have it. Anybody who relies on twitter is an ignorant idiot. |
Precisely - worse since musk took over. Wish certain people would stop tarnishing this forum with crap from that sh1t propaganda source |  | |  |

It won't kick off in Scotland, certainly not the anti-immigration crew. Not concerned in the slightest. However, the NW/NE of England, it's only going to get worse until it's stamped out. Post faces, name them, share address, notify employers and just let them end up with nothing. Honestly, I am thinking it's time for curfews, it's time for the Army and time for rubber bullets (or real ones). |  | |  |
