I’ll stop now

What about three tier policing?

It’s mad how it’s stuck , all you have to do in life if find a stupid little three word slogan and generally hang it on something a tiny bit racist but with plausible deniability and away you go .

Mate, do you actually read the posts you are responding to ?

Tbf, that question could be asked of many who post in here. Groupthink comes up with their answer, anyone who questions it or makes a different opinion is immediately called racist/leave voter/etc etc. This place used to have sensible debate and opposing views, no longer unfortunately, tolerance of any opposing view has gone, just like we now see far left and far right. The country could do with a reset, and tbh this place would benefit from it as well…..

Debate requires people or posters to converse Pete , if people avoid answers or dance on the head of a pin then how do you debate ? That’s part of the problem with politics , PMQ’s before the election became unwatchable .

I will agree the last 10 days in particular things have probably coming to a head . From an unspeakable horror to me feeling embarrassed of my city for the first time in my life . I hope last night was the start of that changing but I don’t hold out much hope .

Has it turned out that Starmer has actually handled these riots well? Could the arrests actually be a deterrent? Seems that way.

Best PM this century?

They come over here, on their dingies and whatnot, and take our jobs, our women, our likes and our houses!

All while not working and claiming benefits… isn’t that what they say, too?

That’s like being the best side in the North-East

His whole point was that the Police were nowhere to be seen, when if you watch the clip she points to 3 different places where the Police are.

See above.

That maybe afterwards far too late they gathered for hours on TV not a police patrol in sight ok We watched aghast armed masked up as they heard the EDL were on their way

I mean we shouldn't tar everyone with the same brush and I get what you mean but you must see some correlation?

Imagine if Boris had been in charge!

That assault looked awful . Not the worst disorder of the last week though was it mate , not even close to the top really was it ? Loads of worse stuff right ?

Hopefully. However I will hold out until summer is past for congratulations. If you listen to political commentary such as Matlis or Stewart and others. there is call to arms for Far right on "telegram" . @davek , even from Ukrainian far right amongst others, bored of Russians no doubt...

They were there to keep the peace like last night's successful efforts -right-plus slashing tyres chasing reporter - sorry not on - right? No arrest ridiculous when the organiser interviewed got away scot-free made it a mockery- right ?

Nah, you’ve just got pissy with everybody because you’ve been rightly ridiculed for your unwavering support of serial lying crook and old people killer De Pfeffel Johnson.

It’s like making a case for Fred West.

When you cross a line like that it becomes very evident and obvious that you aren’t wired right.
