The tide has turned

It was quite irritating WW, I found Jo Coxs whole approach interesting and the foundation did some good work certainly at the beginning.
I am afraid I view him as one of the many 'good guys' who are anything but.

I dont have anything to do with anything relating to Brendan Cox I had to stop my involvement with the Jo Cox organisation until his involvement stopped.

😄😄 I’m sorry but you make me giggle.

I don’t mean it in a nasty way at all, so please don’t be offended.

Nothing wrong with your brain

Thanks WW - I am beginning to wonder at times

I won’t respond to Urmstongran’s post again. On reflection, I won’t give it the oxygen. I agree Grandmabatty; I believe that person’s post was disingenuous and designed to stir up controversy. How sad!

It was started by Joe Cox’s partner after her assassination, to counteract the fascists.

It is still doing the same as far as I can see.

Well done them.

Hope not Hate? Hahaha!
This guy was the one I posted about last week. Tweeted about an acid attack on a woman … that never happened. Can’t remember his name. Richard somebody? Anyway he was called out on it. Apologised for posting WITHOUT CHECKING the veracity (oh the irony) and deleted it. On his ‘influential’ platform too.

Yes! He's apologised. Do you have any other concerns about HopeNotHate? Have you ever looked at the kind of work they do?

I've read through this thread and it's disturbing to see that a few, very few, want to fuel the unrest by posting about two tier policing which doesn't exist.
There is a thread running thanking the police which counteracts some of the negativity from those few posters.

Don’t suppose anyone on here has but you never know

If you have any concrete details of far-right demos happening over the weekend, or you've seen locations being discussed by the far-right, please email us at: [email protected]

Particularly looking for images/screenshots of posters/comments.

This reflects the successful turnout of people trying to prevent the thugs from May-hem.

Far right, and fascism is not wanted here.

From Hope not Hate

*A man is in custody for using social media to encourage violent disorder across the country following a dossier HOPE not hate supplied to the police.

As the matter is now subjudice, we will not be making any further comment at this stage*

I bet they have others.

Derail not detail

I find it sad that a poster felt it necessary to detail such a positive thread almost as soon as it began. I think the alleged purpose was disingenuous. It's been a very unsettling time for people, some of whom have been directly impacted by riots. Any attempt to calm things down is surely welcome.

WW I’ve asked for my post to be removed.

I’m really sorry - thanks for your generous reply

I think all this stuff is mashing my brain now!

Blimey lizzie I’d be a bit sad to get peeved at that little thing.

I wouldn’t have bothered to remove it quite honestly😀

Nothing wrong with your brain!

Lizzie easily done

If they do, it will make the problem a thousand times worse.
I still have some sort of faith that Starmer wont do that. He did like a bit of authoritarianism within the labour party but am hoping it's not generally his style.

Well I don’t think a thousand times worse, but I can definitely see major issues. However, like you I am hoping that it won’t be necessary.

Never the less I think that it is undeniable that on line influence is causing the country a serious problem.

So we shall see

Don’t worry it’s the sort of thing I do

Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! It wasn’t the OP! My post above was directed to Urmstongran.

WW I can’t apologise enough. I’ll ask for my post to be removed and start again😱

In all of this my support and admiration is for the police. There have been reports of police officers standing in line between the anti-immigration and the pro-immigration groups. Both groups are shouting at and goading the police.

We now have a police officer who used pepper spray on someone resisting arrest (including grabbing another officer by his genitals) and has now been suspended and is facing prosecution. It seems the police can no longer defend themselves or their colleagues

Lizziedrip it was most certainly not the OP who said what you have quoted but another poster.
