Current Affairs Race wars, neo-nazis and other unpleasantness

[Paris]

Great scenes around England tonight as the people have reclaimed the streets. Racists and racism will never, ever ,win here.

They defo have a point regarding 2 tier policing.

The Nazis on the street loot, burn and attack.
The other side holds up placards.

So yeah, 2 tier policing indeed.

This is why Starmer was right to talk about a minority and refuse to involve the army (who are completely unequipped for this type of thing).

A) This lot want to be seen as persecuted, they want to tell a story of oppression - especially from the left.

B) It will fuel the likes of Farage, who know that memories will be short and instances of civil disorder will be way to conflate, who can claim consistently that it's double standards and two tiers.

He's supported the police, he's given them additional powers, he's driven swift action through the justice system, he's called rioting and criminality out for what it is, without fanning flames by reducing the debate to an issue of immigration.

There’s a saying … something like For Evil to win it needs good people to do nothing…. Thankfully though the good people have come together and done something … evil will never win against good.

Edmund Burke

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. ...

Nice to see the nazis chicken out (as they always do, being bullies by nature)

It's like the final scenes of Return of the Jedi

Big turnout against these divs in Briz, even though it looks like they've completely bottled it.

They should give Bristol a miss in the future, it won’t be tolerated. The toppling of the Colston statue a few years back showed a city against this sort of thing.

I’m proud of our country tonight. I have felt a bit lost and dismayed by this country for a long time, but things like this remind me, that hope and love will always win out.

Knew it was something like that … it’s a great saying all the same

Soiled their kecks.

This is why I'm all for legislation and fines should be issues over social media outlets...



Over a million views. Clearly used to generate fear or anger.

Then the curtain pulls back...



It's too late to do and fix. They're embedded financially in the economy with too much power to push back.

Are we allowed to praise Sir Keir for his wonderful handling of all this or nar?

I’ve been thinking about these planned far right protests for the last few days. Part of me thinks the planning of them was a rouse to get minority communities out in force and paint them as the aggressors. Given what’s gone on over the past few days with some of those arrested given custodial sentences surely they wouldn’t be stupid enough to come out in numbers again and commit the same acts of violence knowing they’d likely be arrested.

I don’t wonder if Russia aren’t involved in this trying to whip up more division. Some right wing idiots took the bait but given the numbers reported on telegram either a lot of those saying they were going were Russian bots or they’re all Poophouses
