He went to war on the violent idiots. You seem to be condoning them
I have not once condoned the violence or ever will,he acted like the authoritarian that he is.
Good for you,I’m off to do one my volunteering shifts for people in cost of living crisis,ironically the numbers needing help have reduced significantly under the Tories but we’re already projecting a very busy winter under labour because of the cold weather payment being taken away,cheers.

Lightly seared on the reality grill.
It isn't 'unfettered', and what's the actual problem with it?
The vast majority of immigration is due to our need to get overseas workers into the country to fill posts in the NHS and other services along with students who come here to study, pay large fees to universities to subsidise our own students and then go back to their own countries.
If people are not getting housing, benefits, jobs or whatever, that isn't because of immigration, it's because of the last government's incompetence.
From the slogans and actions of the rioters, they seem to be just simple-minded racists and conspiracy-theorists, stoked up by hatemongers like Farage and Yaxley-Lennon.
You can blame immigration on government policy if you want to blame anybody, but the mindless thugs that are rioting are out to attack the police, Muslims, generally destroy property, and looting.
Anyway, great news from last night!

There were no food banks and no need for them before the Tories started their brutal austerity program.

Skanky Old Mongrel!
Amazing pictures on BBC News this morning. Many hundreds turned out to support the immigration centres and mosques all around the country.
And the first jail sentences are being handed out to the racist thugs. I do hope they catch those morons who were photographed filling shopping bags with cigarettes at a burgled shop.

But you continue to brush it under the carpet so you can push your hot potato.
He should have called in the army like Thatcher did.

As the prime minister. He acted with the authority of that office, like all prime ministers before him.
Recalling parliament would have served no useful purpose, and would have wasted time, in which further escalation of criminal action would have taken place.
He did not take action in a vacuum, he consulted Cobra and formulated the necessary actions with them.
This was the same procedure followed by the late Tory Government and laid down by law.

What do you mean by mass immigration. Immigration is always individual and is legal.as are asylum seekers.
Those who arrived on these shores illegally are not immigrants but some may be able to justifiably claim, and be granted, asylum. Those that do not qualify are deported after going through the necessary legalities.
It is clear that the adminstration of the legal and deportation process established by the previous government is hopelessly inept. It must be hoped that the new Government will soon come to grips with the situation to everyone's satisfaction. And also establish a clear distinction between immigrants, and illegals.

Interestingly a large majority of arrested rioters are being held in custody, and not give bail, as was usually the case in the past.
They are also being brought before the courts without the usual delays. With some already sentenced.
This is all a far swifter process than we have seen from the previous government.
This removes the leaders and more violent offenders from the streets and prevents them from formulating further criminal actions.

All gods are great.
Sign o' the times:
In England, a young Christian autistic man with English citizenship kills a couple of children. In response, agitated groups demonstrate against Islam. In a forum for discussing religion, it is stated that the evil Russian is to blame for everything.
You know, sometimes I get carried away with sarcastic remarks, but this time I just sit back and enjoy the show.

I am one of those that will no longer get winter fuel payments.
However those able to claim almost any other financial support will continue to receive them.
It would certainly be nice to continue to receive them, but I can not convince even myself, that they were entirely necessary.
What I do find somewhat frustrating is that many 'poorer' Pensioners actually receive more in terms of pensions and total benefits, than I do, because my marginal private pension and savings, takes me outside the threshold, for any additional benefits at all.
I am not sure that the all or nothing benefits process is at all equitable.

It was three children killed and more injured,
I was not aware that he was said to be autistic or Russian.
That to me is irrelevant.
Nor does any thing about this justify widespread rioting and looting.
The Riots were set off by those with an agenda, who inflamed the situation through social media, giving false information and conspiracy theories, blaming immigrants, Muslims, and any one their prejudiced minds could attack. This was particularly effective when aimed at the less educated extreme right wing and criminal, already prejudiced sector of the population.

He was not Russian. The point is that both the riots and the discussion earlier in this thread entirely miss the point.

Agreed upon .. and I suppose youth, being what it is, gets mixed up with undesirables.
They haven't lost control of the country .. Trump and Elon would like that, wouldn't they?

…
Remainers said that Britain should stay in the EU to keep out the brown folk?
Do you have any links to that?
If they’d gone big on that they’d probably have won, but I don’t remember anyone pandering to prejudice in that manner.
I wasn’t there so might have missed it, but who actually made the “vote remain for a whiter Britain” argument?
That's because it's not about race at all.
Yes, it's 100% cultural and religious. Nothing to do with race.

Quite a number of people voted Leave for exactly those reasons. Anecdotal evidence I know, but one example would be my mum’s oldest friend, who voted ‘Leave’ so her grandchildren “wouldn’t have to grow up under Sharia Law” (in Bury-St-Edmunds).
Do you think it’s a coincidence, btw, that the areas which saw the worst of the rioting were the areas that voted Leave in large numbers?
Seems as though it was to some of the rioters
A few of them did the Nazi salute
They were caught on camera
If that's not an expression of racism I don't know what is
