[Politics] Protests/rioting in lots of places

[Guinness Boy]

No, the country isn't burning. What ridiculous and inciting hyperbole.

Well, a Greggs did get looted…

All I see are somewhat unkempt young adults with brightly coloured hair, musical-street performers and cyclists getting in everyones way.
Seems like a normal evening in Brighton so far.

I think it's a light-humoured observation....

 

[Hometownglory]

Are you serious? You don't see the point of a counter demonstration to show right wing thugs and morons that they aren't welcome!

Yes I'm serious. What is it achieving except inciting potentially more violence and chaos when the police have a plan to deal with it. As per the Argus today, people have also been asked to refrain from counter demos to help the Police. I totally understand the feeling but It's giving them what they want, a fight and judging by those in hoods and masks, there are people there that want just as much disorder as the racists.

There are four fascists - don’t think they’ll be back anytime soon

To be fair, we don't know they are fascists. It could be that they have seen the disorder of recent nights and were hoping to do a bit of looting.

Maybe he meant that Watford Zero's chorizos were being flamed in brandy?

No, he's preparing his many banners with emojis....with a 10 minute caveat for editing so he can come back with a different message.

I thought it was meant to be irony?

Wonder Where all the right wingers are, Either they are all waiting down bond street until it gets darker, Or waiting for the fanfare to thin out.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

what clubs and where and when?

Wooosh

Almost as if a load of people predicted that about unique Brighton days ago.

Notwithstanding that, it'll get stuck on the map and added to the list of places that have seen riots or "disorder".

This is a report from somebody at the Northern Echo who went down see what got Darlington stuck up alongside Belfast and Birmingham on Monday night:

What I saw as reports of disorder in Darlington circulated on social media

With tensions running high across the country, reports of 'riots' in Darlington began circulating on social media. Andrew White describes the scene.

"Back on Greenbank Road, a man had a terse exchange with police officers when they stopped him driving down Gladstone Street. He reversed, parked up and glared at the officers as he walked down the street instead. That was the angriest I saw anyone all night."

"There were still other youths around the edge of the street and in the car park. I think milling around is the best description of their demeanour."

Yep. Been whooshed.

Watch the video GB instead of judging the strapline on the OP's previous.

Back to the Olympics.....

Irony is a clear consciousness of an eternal agility, of the infinitely abundant chaos
