Riots in Southport

Joseann

Our son says there's a party going on in Bristol!

It’s a Uni city 😄

Brighton is a city not a smaller town with complex issues.

I think that the violence is being gradually quelled. The thugs are being swiftly dealt with and Starmer has played a blinder.

The grown ups are back in charge.

No Uni now! What is your point?

Doesn’t look like that on Sky News at the moment.

Apologies. I think it was Portsmouth they were showing. Or it might have been an isolated incident. I am pleased that the counter protests have been successful but I still think that my family were right to follow the advice of the Home Secretary and stay at home.

Ha ha just seen St Angela of Rayner talking about the riots and how thuggery is not the way this country behaves. 🤣Does she not realise she sounded just like a prize thug when she was spitting out words like scum, filth etc just a short while ago.
She has even tried to soften her voice.

No edl/racists turned up in my town ❤️

At least Boris cares about the country. This lot will not address concerns of the people any more than Richie did.

Who's Richie? Do you mean Rishi Sunak?

That’s good to hear JaneJudge. It looks like the only significant disruption tonight has been in Portsmouth, but not targeting homes at least.

Wonderful moment in Lancashire (there a short video on I player)

"A Muslim anti-fascist protester has spoken of the moment his group was embraced in support by pub-goers in Lancashire.
Thousands of counter-protesters have taken to the streets in towns and cities across the UK after rumours that far-right organised gatherings would target immigration centres and mosques.
Haddi Malik, 25, joined a peaceful march in Accrington, Lancashire, walking between two mosques in the town to counter a potential right-wing march.
Malik told the BBC it was a "massive" moment when pubgoers came up to some of the people marching and began hugging them

It would appear that there has been no or very little trouble in our area. Thank goodness.
It seems false information was published to cause maximum fear and disruption.
In my opinion this is despicable and unforgivable.

I think it was the fear of imprisonment that diffused everything. The speed at which people have been arrested and prosecuted has been unprecedented.

Hear, hear HPQ 👏👏👏

Just walk on by HPQ.

Yes annsixty tonight was a damp squib. Whether intentional or no, we'll have to see if its run its course.

Then there was the time she called Stockton on Tees a s******e. Oh, hang on a minute….

"I think it was the fear of imprisonment that diffused everything. The speed at which people have been arrested and prosecuted has been unprecedented."

It has..if this works out, it's a triumph of planning and action taken.

Even more so if Yaxley Lennon is arrested! Maybe this is what happens when you have a PM who adheres to and understands the law?

Can we arrest Elon Musk too please?

Dickhead

They will now always be known by that.

I read that it's become the Elon Defence League.

I think the charging of the social media keyboard warrriors will in the long term be the most significant lesson learned for the public. Unfortunately there will always be thugs out there.

She probably went to the Thatcher School of Elocution.

Hmm ... not so sure it was deliberately false information. Maybe they're a bit disillusioned. It seems TR is on the run somewhere and he and Andrew Tate have turned on Farage for blaming them.

Just wondering if anyone else has had a mammogram recall recently and had to undergo a cone biopsy. I am feeling a bit fragile because that’s what happened today. I went to the clinic hoping that the ultrasound would be ‘nothing to report’ but there was a tiny lump. In the meantime I am dealing with an adult son with a cocaine addiction. He is moving to live with another son who lives near Edinburgh. At first I was upset but he recently manipulated me into taking out a £1000 loan because he owned money to the dealer, his ex wife and his bar tab. The very same night he said he was going to the shop and didn’t come back until the early hours. Now I feel guilty because I want him to go. My youngest is autistic and the situation has made him anxious and depressed. Sorry for the pity party but I needed to vent.
