Amazing scrolling through twitter how many more accounts with trump in the profile have jumped in on the UK situation.
Keep fighting....take your country back....
Coincidence? I stopped believing in them long ago.
That thing needs shutting down. Never gona happen. Its doing exactly what its now there for.

It’ll stop the moment it rains properly.

History suggests this.

To be honest if yhey had gone straight in they might have gained more sympathy. More and more normal people want law and order enforced general population will be more tollerent of cracking the head of these people

The irony of course being it's the ilk of the rioters and their enablers who are calling for more law and order.

Do we have an idea of the numbers in Liverpool and elsewhere rioting? Seems to be in the hundreds or maybe 1000 people at a location?

Small numbers in the grand scheme of things, but fact that it’s all happened at once feels overwhelming.

Wondering about the organisation of all this. Has it been organised on telegram, X, or more organic development?

Mealy mouthed words.

His reporting, both to TV and online has been questionable.

History suggests this. Most rioting happens on hot days…
Thursday looks a long way off though

Two tier though tho innit

I really cant understand the police tactics in Rotherham and Middlesbrough today,
Standing off and letting themselves get attacked, it just emboldens the rioters.
Get the teargas out and water cannons

They dont have any..

The Mail have apparently found Yaxley-Lennon at a five star hotel in Ayia Napa.

What's the Greek version of the EDL called?

Many of the people doing this are very very very poorly educated and frankly, stupid

The government needs to be listening and talking to every part of society. What's happening is a symptom of issues going back years that opportunists are taking advantage of on Musk's platform (internal like Farage and external like Russia's bot farms)

At the moment everything is about law and order and "full force of the law" which is just a sticking plaster

The government needs to be addressing and speaking to all parts of society and people in government should be thinking why has a bunch of stupid predominantly white people, been led into this

Address the issues before those grievances they think they have become bigger

Unfortunately, I suspect we'll see opportunists like Farage and Co. trying to take advantage and say "I told you so" etc

It will always be, after an enquiry, 'how can we make it work to our advantage?'
Labour have an equal.responsibility.
In opposition they usurped a democratically elected leader that the 'working class', all flavours, believed would work for them, until Watson, Hodge et al threw anti semitism at him, predominantly because of his Palestinian sympathies. Something done in reverse with Yaxley and Farage, and, Starmer. Their culpability, 99% of the political hierarchy are responsible for where we are.

They will have baton guns that they can use, however their use on the British mainland is a pretty much last resort. Water cannons and tear gas... no no.

Back in '81, Merseyside used something called ferret round at the rioters: they're designed to be shot through doors or walls and then release tear gas.

They shot them at the crowd instead, which did not go down particularly well for obvious reasons.

There will likely be kids in that hotel too, utterly terrified.

Yeah, but they're not the right kind of kids.

Scumbags.
