Riots - No End In Sight

[naomi24]

The Daily Telegraph reports that Keir Starmer is chairing a Cobra meeting tonight but is coming in for criticism for his poor handing of the on-going riots.  Should he recall Parliament?

//Armed forces are trained for combat //

Ah you want the Army in control, well yes I can Actually see this Stasi Govenment going for that one.  Only they wont stop at the thugs it will be used to silence anythong but the Government propoganda.

Putin would be proud.

The army is not 2TK's to command! That is why the monarch is head of the armed forces. To stop a jumped up little dictator from using it as a private force to do his/her own bidding. People mock the idea of our quaint tradition of keeping a ruling monarch. How wrong they are. It is not the power that the monarch has which is important. It is the power that the King or Queen prevents from falling into the hands of someone with no restraints. The left wing wet dream.

The power may presently reside with the monarch, even then one can never rule out a split between royal supporters and parliamentary supporters, but it need not be that way if the system was written such that it didn't need an unelected third leg to have a final decision. The monarchy is a remaining relic of past power sharing.

Good afternoon,

Labour has been in power for just 34 days, what would the Tories have done that Labour have not?

Also, the riots are due to a tweet that stated the murderer of those little girls in Southport was a muslim and or an illegal immigrant.  

Therefore, the first riot started, it has then been jumped on and spread around the country by racist groups like the EDL who is using social media to raise more riots using the most atrocious language to describe people of colour and then goes on to tell them what part of the country they are going to be in next to 'get them'

So please spread your wisdom and share with us what the current should do and how the Tories would have done it better?

[davebro3]

the tories don't need to offer any solutions - they can just carp on like Labour has done for 14 years.

Neither have addressed the root problems. That's why you should have voted, Reform UK

Has an infant got old of your phone?

[bednobs]

hi clone,  are you saying that wasnt the trigger for the 1st riot?

if not, what do you think the trigger was?

[davebro3]

Not saying it's just that but I would discount the "racist" element only if black/coloured people where among those assaulted.

[Clone]

Could not have been the trigger for the first riot as that occured on July 18th

 

 

[Khandro]

It was the trigger, but it almost doesn't matter what it was, it could heve been something else. The George Floyd incident was enough to spark of world-wide riots, in that case from the black community feeling they were hard done by. It was out of all proportion to the incident itself.

There is enormous disquiet about immigration lying under the surface in Britain. Any government who fails to address the issue is storing more problems.

Saying the 'Hard Left Thugs' will be brought to justice is not enough.

[davebro3]

It pleases me somewhat that shyster immigration lawyers/agents who have & will make up false stories to support their clients asylum claims are shaking in their boots.

'The wife of a Tory councillor has been arrested for hate crimes after she called for hotels with asylum seekers in them to be set ablaze.

Lucy Connolly, 41, took to X (formerly Twitter) writing: “Mass deportation now, set fire to all the *** hotels full of the b******* for all I care... If that makes me racist, so be it.”

She has since deleted the tweet and apologised, claiming she had acted on “false and malicious” information. But a number of people made complaints to the police about her allegedly inciting violence.

Northamptonshire Police confirmed on Tuesday night that a 41-year-old woman had been arrested on suspicion of inciting racial hatred and remains in custody.'

How did she think posting that was going to end?

[DDIL]

Good evening Clone,

the Southport riot was on July 30.

[Togo]

The FIRST riot was in Leeds   ... on the 18th July. 

[Togo]

Perhaps that doesn't count though(for some) being the wrong demographic and all. 

[Clone]

How did she think posting that was going to end?

Politician's wife wasn't it. 

 

She just said that she didn't care !

@19.30.Yes,togo,its strange that the original riot(the Harehills riot)seems to be being overlooked.I havent heard of any of the perpertrators being jailed or anything.Are the police still investigating this riot?Anyone know?

[davebro3]

//Police have charged one Romanian man aged 37 with violent disorder and arson that endangered life//

//On 3 August, BBC reported that Police have arrested 27 people in connection with the riot in Harehills. Assistant Chief Constable Pat Twiggs expressed gratitude to those who provided information and indicated more arrests are expected.//
