I'm just not sure it is quite as 'organised' as this. I don't buy into the idea that groups are being brought in and told to fight; I think a lot of these riots are taking place in areas of and with surrounding areas of high deprivation and poverty, which, as we know, is the perfect breeding ground for extreme views. It seems that many of the men arrested after the Southport riots were local and from surrounding areas. The videos from Sunderland are full of local accents and even football shirts linked to the area. Don't get me wrong, there clearly are influential people organisations sparking them, but then the local herd follows.

The level of poverty in these types of areas across the country has been steadily increasing over the years, accelerated over the last 14, and you're left with people who don't do well academically, have drink and drug problems, are low paid or unemployed, grow up with adverse childhood experiences and ultimately are being exploited by the likes of Farage, the right of the Tory party, online grifters and russian bots. When you're living in poverty and the nuances and reasons of why aren't discussed properly, then there's the constant drip drip of anti immigration rhetoric supplied by social media and much of the mainstream media, it's absolutely no surprise that it doesn't take much to cause an explosion.

It is approaching the perfect storm. Weaponised migration is proving to be a hugely effective culture bomb. Russia is skillfully using it to divide Europe and shift us to the right. The stuff coming from Israeli/zionist sources also drives a wedge between the West and Islam. Multiple state actors stand to gain from fracturing the West and Europe and the likes of Farage and little Tommy are just the kind of spineless useful idiots they need. Sickening as it is to think of fellow Brits standing to gain from this but the Tories will be gleefully rubbing their hands at all this. After all, they have helped seed the ground for this unrest.

It happened here for years. At times bus loads brought in at contentious times to boost numbers for potential riots.

But on the other hand a riot could have started here and within minutes, without anything pre-pared, you could have petrol bombs at hand and a supply of throwing materials.

I don't think they need to bus people in. The list of areas being targeted speaks for itself.

Yes, it's standard EDL playbook. @Littlesue might remember the protests about a mosque being built in Dudley where the EDL were bussing in ghouls from across the country to act like arseholes. More than once if I recall. Friends of mine over there reckon he town just shut and residents couldn't go about their business because of the doofuses.

I wonder what the percentage of bald men to total number of participants take part in these 'Enough is Enough' protests; I suspect it's quite a high percentage.

Beginning to think Danny, from Withnail and I was right all along.

“I don't advise a haircut, man. All hairdressers are in the employment of the government. Hairs are your aerials. They pick up signals from the cosmos, and transmit them directly into the brain. This is the reason bald-headed men are uptight.”
