Joey this always happens when there are considerable rows, especially in the county forces.

'X' has become a absolute cesspit for disinformation, it was always bad but it's got worse over the past couple years. Facebook is just as bad also.

Haven't the government been doing this for years tho..

Yeah. He is out of his depth. He needs to improve, fast. I also think his speech will inflame things. If he was trying to pour oil on troubled waters he has made things worse. He couldn't even be bothered to talk to Southport residents either. Flowers for a photo opp and away. I am no fan of Blair, but when he faced those situations he talked to people.

I just don't think Starmer has the emotional intelligence or nous to lead a country. His CPS wa shambolic. Ask Thornberry, she was scathing, which is probably why he did not take her into Government. A thin-skinned man.

The context is in the punctuation. The irony is, it's good grammar.

One of my favourite things about the modern alt-right is this pretense that people who don't agree with them don't actually exist, or at best have opinions that don't matter.

Think I've lost a couple of old friends over all this. Both were frothing at the mouth and totally 'send the buggers back' mode. I pointed out that to the extremes of the polar sides those poor girls were just incidental, to be used to further the agenda of extremists on both sides.
But, to them, there aren't 'two sides', they are proper crusader like and God is on their side. There is no discourse to be had.
Despite no apparent connection to Islam, immigration or even johnny bloody foreigner, no matter, they need dealing with by force, riot and aggression.

I'm at a loss for this country and this world. There's so much crap going on and it's swamping us.

If anything, we've a Portuguese national who has been killed here in the UK, by a British national. I wonder how the rest of the world is viewing here at the moment.

So it's not a generalisation/stereotypical/sexist/racist comment aimed at all white british males? Be interesting to see the response if some of the adjectives used were 'flipped'
And if not, why does Helen Beeeeeeeee not just call him a man, or indeed a person because she might not know what he actually identifies as? Does she know he's British? He might be French, or Scandinavian? He's not been named. Aren't these 'jumping to conclusions' one of the things we don't want to happen?

Because the background is his self portrayal as a defender of the faith crusader having been identified in the riots/protests against a mosque. The use of inverted commas' takes it away from a generalisation and makes it specifically about the bloke the report is talking about.
But I think you knew that didn't you?
As for his location the clues are Merseyside Police attending a domestic disturbance. A reasonable sssumption that would be in Merseyside as opposed to Oslo or Rouen.
I think conclusion wise you're actually jumping higher.
