[Politics] Protests/rioting in lots of places

[WATFORD zero]

Not a fan of Farage then?

I suspect the reason he has his head down is that his last 'proclamation' could be seen as incitement to riot/violence. We can but hope

Sadly this is what happens when you ignore 66% of the electorate.

Welcome back Stewart, we have the mic set up for you just over there.

Or you can sub Donald for Stewart if by any remote chance you were being serious.

I mean, how does anyone think trying to set fire to a large building full of people is ok/merited/justifiable?

Housing asylum seekers or not, it will also be full of local people working. Amost cettainly people who someone you know, knows.

It's pure evil.

Disgusting and the people cheering it too

Of course no right minded person would think it is ok/merited/justifiable.

Unfortunately there are a few on here that are doing exactly that on this thread. Good luck to yourself and all the mods

Good as it may feel to those liberal, affluent sorts mocking the underclass, but that is part of the reason why certain segments of society feel disenfranchised, partly why Brexit happened…and partly why numerous other acts of civil disobedience have occurred probably all the way back to the peasants revolt! Not feeling listened to lies at the heart of all gripes. Of course, once violence is underway there’s little to stop it. The opportunities to prevent lie beforehand and with hindsight.

Guardian did a superb article on this post Brexit, recognising how condescending arrogance towards many disenfranchised communities contributed.

I totally get that and agree re sections of society feeling disenfranchised, but the actions of many of those rioting are so utterly moronic that I have absolutely no empathy in this instance

One of the idiots ID’d from Middlesborough has been tracked as working for Tata Steel - an Indian company

We are seeing the horseshoe effect in full flow, within 24 hours there have been “protesters” giving nazi salutes from the far right and the far left. Both are awful but only the image of the far right one made the mainstream media. The keffiyeh clad one was only seen on twitter, I wonder why?

I'm guessing because the vast majority of violence and destruction is coming from the right, as are the vast majority of the nazi salutes.

I was about to post the same. Johnson and his cronies promoted the whole "Levelling Up" con, but did precisely bugger all (except line their own pockets). Although the term is now discredited, some form of levelling up has to happen.

(Remainer) John Humphrys said exactly the same post the referendum. He included broadcasters as having looked down on huge swathes of England and Wales, as a result catastrophically not reading the room.

It’s complex. Putin spreading carefully constructed lies which spread like wildfire through Facebook and Twatter.
Then the lockdowns (which I supported) …. many millions were dead against them, I’d even suggest the numbers have grown over time. Online influencers have played on this just to get a huge following. Bringing possibly millions under their spell on a very wide range of faux libertarian, also nationalist views.

Why would the residents of Tamworth "want their hotel back"? Can't imagine many of them stay there too regularly...

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

People opinions and trust in the Police is at all time low. I'm not surprised they have no quarms about attacking them.

What's a quarm pray tell?

It's funny when the middle class socialists who have been desperate for a class war for decades realise that the proletariat don't share their views on diversity

Exactly what I think. He made a huge blunder the other day spreading the Russian conspiracy theory lie.

Having to be silent just now for a rent a gob must pain him.

The only “Liberal affluent sort” that is mocking the underclass and feels good about these riots is ‘Nigel Farage’ - and ‘partly why Brexit happened’.

Don’t try and glorify the far right by conflating terror tactics with legitimate political protest. The ‘peasants’ here aren’t some noble group revolting against rich landowners or the Government - they are just revolting.

That one in the jogging suit with the black head gear …..he has tits….never jogged in his life.

Is that meant to narrow it down?

 

[ManOfSussex]

There's some cases apparently coming up in court tomorrow so hopefully we start to see these ****ers get what they deserve and get sent down.

Odd though that when 60% of the electorate were ignored for over 10 years prior to last month it didn't happen.....

Good point

I'm sure all the complaints were from people whose extra marital activities no longer had a convenient competitively priced location, and not from people who didn't like the look of darkies.
