Woah woah! What's all this? Just calm it down there eh? There's enough hate already.
Dave is, as part of his new left wing group.

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
Personally don't think anything will go off and whatever does will be small time.
For something so "big" protest wise, there's usually a group or number of groups organising it in the past and have had boots on the ground leading it.
Don't see that here.
Anonymous UK being based as usual, targeting thugs on both sides.
This is good, as lots of the Two Tier shouts were citing this as an example of the police letting some get away with it.
Was obviously bs, but is good to be able to refute that shout.
It would be good, but we live in a time where facts don't matter anymore.
When anyone mentions two tier policing, remind them of the stop and search levels for black and asian men compared to white men over the last 20 years
As deserved as some sentences will be, it leaves an unnerving feeling around inconsistency/state agenda.
Someone launched a brick, smashing a window at a restaurant nearby the other month. It was a massive, oval shaped window. Costly. Restaurant have it on CCTV - police never bothered to go out. "Here's your insurance number".
Suspect the 30 month type headlines will be released in a few months after the rushed punishment to give headline deterrent have served their purpose.

It needed doing, it is a huge deterrent and also makes Starmer look authoritative - if these were one-off incidents with different reasons the sentences would be far leaner
To be fair it’d have been probably easier to solve that crime if the offender videoed it and put it on their own social media, which is what happened in a load of these cases .
Also I think it’s crap if a crime gets filed away and they’ve done nothing to investigate it . However there has to be line between damage and riot , it’s obvious one will be investigated with more resources than the other . It’s why , I suppose a higher percentage of murderers get arrested than shoplifters. The more serious the crime the more serious the response and resources . This wasn’t 3 drunken beauts after a night out kicking off it was a riot culminating in attacks on police , property and ultimately the rule of law . Just like the rioters in 2011 got hammered so will these
Sounds like they are purposefully trying to stretch police resources with this method.
Now why would all these “peaceful, concerned citizens” want to do that I wonder?
I think that’s a bit of a false equivalence really, and calling locking up people who have effectively been involved in pogroms a state agenda is a bad take.
Trying to burn down a hotel with migrants inside, cornering a random black man to attack, throwing acid on a Muslim woman, kicking in Muslim families doors…
Bit of a trend there - if there’s an anti-Nazi state agenda, then I’d say that’s good agenda to have.

This is an impossible rabbit hole to get out of though - yes, the offences are superficially similar but there is a completely different context. Punching a cop in the face doesn’t usually get a 30 month sentence either (it doesn’t usually get a term of imprisonment).
It’s like any protest. I can plan one for tomorrow to get mason Holgate out the club but nobody might show up.
Police can only react on the intel they had. Rather them lap it up and be prepared then don’t and get caught out
