What an absolute disgrace, such mindlessness

I hope no members of the public come to any harm and that the inevitable destruction of property will only be very limited

And that the law comes down on the perpetrators hard and heavy

We have a two tier policing system here,you can persecute Jews women freedom of speech and insult our country but you can’t complain about not liking that,if you are white black brown and British you are more likely to be arrested for being so,”and that the law comes down on the perpetrators hard and heavy” to all I would agree but it doesn’t.

What utter tosh, sounds as though you think the rioters have a legitimate reason for starting a race riot

Anyone who disturbs the peace should be locked up, regardless of their politics or whatever especially if racially agrovated

If only Charles Manson was alive to see it.

Like here in the states, monsters get created and you end up with these type of scenarios happening.

Nowhere in the article does it say anything about race. Why do you say it's race riots? What's the context? I heard about the knife attack, but never heard anything about race being involved...

It's not race but religion as the article pointed out: Members of the crowd chanted in support of far-right activist Tommy Robinson, while others shouted Islamophobic slurs.

They tried to march on a mosque and they shouted out various hate slogans it is clear that the whole thing is racially motivated, they were waving England flags which the far right have tried to make their own and I think in some other town a shopkeeper or something who was Asian was assaulted by a mob, the people involved are openly racists

It's not race but religion as the article pointed out:

I think it is fair to say that the rioters are both racially and religiously motivated

A toxic combination

Maybe I just haven't paid enough attention to the story of the attack, but I hadn't heard that religion had anything to do with it...nor had I heard of Tommy Robinson...so it's still clear as mud to me...

 

[Eddi]

so it's still clear as mud to me...

It's basically just the far right being far right

That's the type of thing they do

I think the hot weather may also be a factor

The troubling ways a heatwave can warp your mind

A bit of sunshine can cause many of us to dream of ice cream, sunbathing and beaches, but warm weather can also make us violent, grumpy and depressed. Why?

Anyone who disagrees with illegal migration and unfettered immigration is by de facto “far right and racist”,that is utter tosh”,people with legitimate concerns about the above are not fascists far right nutjobs.

I just posted the relevant link. What's still unclear?

Or the far left being too far left,skip the foreplay,brace yourself

I disapprove of rampant unregulated immigration and I am not right wing, sorry to spoil your fantasy

Anyone who runs around as a part of a mob setting fire to things and shouting racial slogans at members of the public and attacking the police should be banged up for a good length of time

Those total and utter nut jobs are profoundly un-British

 

[beenherebeforeagain]

I don't see a link in your post; I see a quote, which reiterates the charge that at least some of the response is based on race/religion/immigration...but the several articles I've perused haven't clearly established what the hell is going on...

 

[Eddi]

Or the far left being too far left,skip the foreplay,brace yourself

The far-right rioters are the enemies of all law abiding citizens

They are openly opposing the rule of law

It's not as if they are only opposed to the far left as their apologists and fellow travellers would have us believe

The far left and far right are both ridiculous in their own ways

I agree that violence is not the answer and make no excuses for that,I’m not seeing racialism as the conduit for it though,I’m seeing cultural and religious differences as the driver which are very apparent.

I saw on a news report that a small number of older men were egging on a great many youths

Whom I am sure are very easily lead if you push the right buttons

I think some of the participants are more mindless than others

The correct way to make a grievance is through politics, through civilised means, not to riot and chant "whose streets, our streets!"

I'm sorry but the streets belong to the law and anyone who disrupts the King's peace is a kind of traitor to both The Crown and the law abiding public and should be punished for that

Those guys are not being civilised - that pretty much sums up this whole affair

I applaud your “The correct way to make a grievance grievance is through politics”,done that,brought the subject up many many times,get shouted down as “right wing” but,as seen by millions,the pro Palestinian marches chanting all sorts of vapid racist remarks and disrespectful actions to our monuments are wrapped in cotton wool,two tier policing at its worst.
