These riots throughout the country on 09:04 - Aug 3 with 8621 views | GlasgowBlue | Be under no illusion here, the only people responsible for inflaming the situation and mobilising far right racist thugs are the likes of Tommy Robinson, the Tate brothers, Lawrence Fox, the Russian bot farms and other social media influencers who are spreading hate and misinformation. Starmer isn’t responsible for a single act or thuggery, racism and vandalism we have seen all over the news. Edited for predictive text typos. [Post edited 3 Aug 2024 10:25]

I think you have missed my point Was the riot in Leeds an act of thuggery and vandalism by the people involved Yes it was Yet Starmers response was totally different to that incident because of the people involved. |  | |  |

I totally agree with you but I think Kier comments about 'protecting muslins and mosques which well intentioned, where a little misjudged, especially as there is some disquiet over the pro Palestine matches be allows seemingly un policed He should have said something like 'will we protect everyone from thuggery, racism and vandalism |  |

These riots throughout the country on 09:20 - Aug 3 with 8473 views | DanTheMan | In Leeds they set fire to some stuff and the home secretary rightly criticised the behaviour. I'm not sure how the Manchester Airport situation is really related given it appears to be an isolated incident, not that the group of people involved went to the airport with the intention of causing problems. What we've been seeing now is multi-city riots which are putting people into hospital, as well as some property damage. And it's been going on for days, off the back of disinformation. Blaming Starmer is such a stretch that I can only assume you started with him being to blame and work backwards. As Glassers says, there are some other politicians and well known agitators who deserve the blame here. |  |

Are you seriously suggesting that the prime minister SHOULDN'T condemn violent nazis because he condemned a police officer who was caught on camera acting illegally? And how is the weather in Moscow this morning? [Post edited 3 Aug 2024 9:37]

Perhaps you should have made that point in the first place, rather than whining about the prime minister saying 'hey, violent crime is bad, no matter who does it'. [Post edited 3 Aug 2024 9:46]

Your point was “.. that Kier Starmer isn’t helping the situation” So your proposition, is that known far right agitators, would have listened to Keir Starmer, and said, you know what, after years of being in a far right group, getting pissed up and fighting with police at protests and complaining about the islamification of the U.K., we are going to stop now.” That’s bollox, no matter how many capital letters you use. |  | |  |

These riots throughout the country on 09:58 - Aug 3 with 8008 views | Guthrum | Three different sets of circumstances. The first was a family reacting to their children being taken away. If not acceptable, at least understandable. The second was an attempted arrest which turned violent. Only noticed by the public because a police officer decided to kick the suspect in the head and somebody was filming it. These are wilfully ignorant* yobs using murdered children as a spurious excuse to fight the police and burn stuff. * The individual in custody for Southport was born in the UK and is almost certainly not even Muslim. Indeed, by the looks of it, they should perhaps be rioting for better mental healthcare provision. |  |

Are you sure? Here's you, implying that Starmer did precisely that. These riots throughout the country by onceablue 3 Aug 2024 8:58Are 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

‘From the BBC’ 😂 yeah, always bang on the money with the reporting they want you to hear. The BBC should focus more on allowing nonces to work for them |  |
