Nick Lowles. A complete nob. Way back he wrote an article Re disinformation spread by social media. Yet last Saturday he did that very thing, claiming he had heard/read that an Asian woman had acid thrown at her from a moving car. 🤦🏼‍♀️
No such thing happened .

You are overthinking.

Well, I'm not bothering to second guess who does what where.

But you are missing a vital point H not H have a very sketchy background.

Do I like the idea my country is being misled intentionally, no I see it as gaslighting a whole community.

Also, of the 15 people arrested some were carrying weapons. I thought it was about stopping violence?

Tonight? Or were people arrested last night? London? Brighton?
Just to get things clear.

How do you think we would know!
I’m just pleased the level of agitation has calmed down where I live.
The police have this under control

I'm not sure how you would know, other than reading something.

May be I hoped someone would be more informed than me.

JaneJudge I'm pleased your pleased, but no one in power is asking the right questions, so imv it will probably bubble away until the next incident.

Our local neighbourhood watch FB page had 2000 requests to join on Monday and Tuesday.
The page was then flooded with posts re the potential riots.
I warned the admin who was so thick he allowed them all to join.

But the so called right wing marches did happen. Police injured, businesses wrecked, people terrified. The fact they didn’t materialise to the great extent feared last night doesn’t mean Starmer and his cabinet ‘drove the narrative’. Seriously?

Iam64 I am as much in the dark as you.

If it’s on twitter it must be true ……

😂😂😂😂😂

Aren't you remotely interested in finding out the truth Cossy?

Or is it that it is too horrific to even think about?

Because that's exactly how I feel.

I actually hope it is a wind up tbh

I completely believe that these planned riots could have been a “game” and that false intel was spread. I could also see that another set of dates and places is in “reserve” and that we will sadly see a return of the riots, although with such swift action being taken by the police and courts I’m not sure how many of these “brave patriots” will turn up.

Namsnanny Thu 08-Aug-24 20:12:05

I know what you mean, but it's not a very informative answer now is it?

I shall just have to wait and see if the usual channels report on it.

I do hope someone does, because it is a very serious thing to do to people who are already fearful and agitated.

Hope not Hate, Nick Lowles has apparently tweeted that the so called right wing marches were a false flag operation.

They were never going to happen.

In other words they lied to cause trouble.

Can this be true?

15 people at least from the ^opposing^ marches (left wing I suppose, at least those rallying against what they perceived to be a threat ) have been arrested.

So if true, does this mean our own gov. is driving the narrative??

Anyone else see something on this?
