What needs to happen to stop violent protest on the streets of Southampton against the police and to stop agitators wrongly targeting police officers on line with death threats?

Farage and others need to be prosecuted for inciting violence maybe?

And Farage will be patting himself on the back as he says job done.

You're not the first to suggest that Luckygirl after Farage's performance today in PMQs.

Under the England and Wales Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006, it is in fact illegal to incite violence. The Act was enforced in the summer 2024 violent protests- CCTV footage often presented as evidence in court of protesters on online posts for agitators. The maximum sentence for riot is 10 years which reduced to 5 years for violent disorder. The level of sentence will depend on a number of criteria - and whether the role was as an instigator or the level of participation.

I was pleased to hear Starmer thank Badenoch and Ed Davey in PMQ for their responses, ie to condemn the violent protest, particularly as the family had asked. for politicians not to use the murder of their son to create division and hatred.

TR can be clearly seen and heard in the video.

Maybe Farage and Tommy Robinson should be forced to do a couple of police officer shifts.

Yes, he can - and I think I already posted the Facebook request from him for the names of the police officers involved. It appears he was given the wrong information and two people have been hounded out of their homes by his vigilante action. One of them wasn't even a serving officer at the time.

It was appalling! Southampton is only about 20 miles away from me and I can't believe the folk from there would come to this.
I hear lots of these protesters where shipped in, it's not helping the situation with Farage comments, he is out of order stirring this up, let's hope it doesn't escalate.

I have met the Hampshire Police Commissioner a few times and she's not one to take these comments lightly, very pro active, rolls her sleeves up woman.

My thoughts go to Henry's family, how must they feel with all this extra grief going on

Davey offered to work with the government to review the legal exemptions for carrying knives. Carrying a knife as an offensive weapon of course is illegal and a common reason for arrest.

Exemptions- currently carrying a knife for work, as part of a national costume or for religious reasons are all listed as potential lawful defences under section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988. The Offensive weapons Act 2029 further protects the rights of Sikhs to possess and supply kirpans- a ceremonial sword or dagger that is one of religion's five articles of faith.

Knife crime is prolific but the use of kirpans of Sikh blades is rare- Digwa was an outlier with tragic consequences.

I don’t think there is anything that can be said Lemonjam, actions speak louder.
If anyone had the balls to prosecute the likes of Farage and Robinson, that might; it’s highly unlikely to happen.
The rent a mob who turn up to any chance of a scrap really don’t care about words.
