An official in the UK says:

'We do have dedicated police officers who are scouring social media to look for this material, and then follow up with arrests.' The director of public prosecutions of England and Wales warns that sharing online material of riots could be an offence

Anybody here support this police policy?

Stalin would have loved modern day technology and control over masses of people. The monitoring and technology would make writing out his death lists so much easier.
So not wanting riotous yobs to run around burning down public libraries and trying to lynch migrants is Stalinism now is it????

Certain sections of the masses need controlling as they are otherwise inherently out of control, with disastrous consequences

Nope. They don't need controlling unless there is a valid reason to control , and that is best described as a response to contain rather than indefinite monitoring of the masses overall.

Like I said , Stalin would be absolutely giddy with joy.

Yep

Those who are prone to disturb the King's peace need controlling and need to be punished too

In the UK there is a substantial underclass that are easily lead into disorder

Bringing Stalin into this doesn't magically make you right :rolleyes:

Burning down libraries is not valid reason?

Attacking people in the streets is not reason?

Definitely not,a 61 year old man has just been jailed for 18 months for chanting “who the **** is allah” and calling police a four letter word,he has no previous convictions,police bodycam video shows he was not violent,the judge could have fined and given him a suspended sentence,we are in bad times imo.

He was a part of a mob

He contributed to violent disorder

I think 18 months is fair

Hopefully he will learn from this

Maybe you could put a link to an article or charging papers for this guy so we can see what he was charged with.

A reference would have been nice but i think you are talking about Michael WIlliams of Devon age 51who took part in the riot chanting "Who the f*** is Allah' repeatedly. Building security cameras caught him committing assault and battery pushing a man down and repeatedly kicking him. WIlliams also filmed hurling bottles and rocks at police. He pled guilty to the charge of violent disorder.

Who responded? If they are inciting more riots, arson, attacks and racial hatred then why should the police not act in the strongest way the law allow to attempt to prevent it?
Right and do so. Just don't start including other people into it who are not even involved in the matter as if they are somehow under suspicion themselves.
