[Politics] Protests/rioting in lots of places

[A mex eyecan]

Older footage. I recognise the brain dead St George’s Cross top bloke from a mugshot published a few days ago.

can you imagine if they find some of those looters have Saturday jobs there …
I also wonder how many will try and take the items back for a refund because it stinks so very very bad

 

[Bold Seagull]

Is it illegal to buy/own a balaclava?
Proving who was wearing it would be tricky too.
Anyway, glad the Big Brother IS watching us.
Hopefully all crimes, including the likes of shoplifting and assault, will be investigated with equal vigour and resources.

Have you not watched enough TV, Judge John Deed? Taggart? The Bill?

Evidence that is circumstantial can be corroborated with other evidence.

Buying a balaclava on its own I doubt is enough, linked with other evidence is perhaps enough to turn circumstantial into substantial.

 

[Sussax]

I doubt much will happen other than an extended pride celebration in town but suppose we could be a target for trouble because of how inclusive we are down here..

Load of worry over nothing if you ask me

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

I work in cov and have not heard or seen this. Can you ask this lad in cov whereabouts please so I can ask the people I work with about it? Someone will know. Should be easy enough to get confirmation.

I think you’ll be waiting a while …..

 

[WATFORD zero]

Can anyone offer any current (genuine) info on the state of play in town, tonight?
I only ask as my o/h travels by bus from Hove to her place of work (near the Royal Sussex), at around 7.30pm, for a night shift. .
If anything is likely to kick-off, I'd like her to stay home, or possibly take a cab ( the long way around).

On my way there now, give us 15 mins

I said same. But then again just seen Weymouth had rioters. I mean Weymouth? Did they run out of ice cream or something? I wouldn’t have Weymouth down as sort of place things might KO.

 

[Birdie Boy]

oh once again just personal experience mate ....i'm 58 and i don't know any paedos as far as i'm aware......i don't actually know anyone who knows anyone ....do you...? have a think about what you're being fed.

I know a guy I used to drink with locked up for grooming, i and others had no idea. A mates brother locked up as a pedo, my mate had no idea. Another guy, I don't know, in my area locked up as a pedo. All in a small area and all white. But the town is mainly white.

Yes he seems to have managed to get himself filmed doing every bit of thuggery including smashing up a taxi.

I’m following on NSC and here;

Brighton's huge anti-racism counter-protest as it happened

A huge counter-protest started in Brighton on Wednesday as another anti-racism rally took place in Hastings.

www.theargus.co.uk

Which is saying that lots of shops and other buildings are closing early and protecting their storefronts, basically. Oh and a couple of Stagecoach buses are redirecting their routes to avoid the town centre.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

There is none whatsoever. You either condone it or condemn it - unreservedly.

This was my initial thoughts on the matter

(I am feeling less bullish today, and instead feel rather sad and a bit anxious about the whole business. It stinks.)

'Stuck in a cycle of decline': Borough sinks further into deprivation

And so on and so on and so on.

Deprived areas, unhappy locals.

 

[jcdenton08]

See I’m not sure about this, or the Greens who are apparently joining the counter-protest using the terrible situation to hand out branded “no to racism” leaflets. It just seems antagonistic in what is already a very tense situation

Sky News "the Championship football season begins on Saturday, there will be many football fans criss-crossing the county, and as we know, many football supporters align themselves with the far right, which Police Chiefs see as a potential issue'.

 

[Dave the OAP]

yup, It’s becoming like a ghost town

…all the clubs are being closed down.

Does NOT equal 'blame the foreigners' Get over that wanky trope and we may get somewhere.

Bognor has previously seen riots in 2021, Skegness and Scarborough are both targeted locations in the 10k member Telegram groups;
