I Wouldn't Want To Appear To Be Aiding Members Of The Far-Right...

...but someone should tell them committing violence in front of so many cameras isn't really a good idea.  It could lead to a prolonged diet of porridge.

Link not opening, Sandy

[THECORBYLOON]

The message says it might be deleted or only some folk can view it (words to that effect)

[wolf63]

Nothing comes up when your link was used.

These people are thugs.  I was surprised to see a couple of women in one article.

Thugs and rent a mob.

[ladybirder]

Are they Far-Right Sandy?

[ToraToraTora]

how have you determined their politics?

[New Judge]

"Thugs and rent a mob."

Absolutely correct and I don't condone their actions for one second.

What I object to however, is their label of "far right", which appears to have caugh on very readily and without much challenge.

This bout of lawlessness began with the murders in Southport. However, it's stretched beyond that now. In particular the protest in Rotherham was aimed at objecting to the vast sums of taxpayers' money being lavished on hotel rooms for people who have arrived here illegally.

I object to that as well - very strongly. I'm not prepared to try to burn the place down, but my objections to the scheme are the same as those who did. Does that make me "far right"?

[sandyRoe]

I'm sorry about the link.

I don't think they're One Nation Conservatives.

Long 32 mins worth of protests in Piccadilly ( yes there is such a place ) Manchester - no one wearing masks

unexpected contrasts - Cross of st george ( red cross white background) along with er Israeli, and Ukraine...

fella with  orange scarf - ( buddhist) and three women in burkas (!) - family ( one man western dress + girls in traditional dress) being told they cdnt cross the gardens....

sort of situation normal

This whole ‘small boats – illegal immigration’ that has got so many people wound up, partly because of the amount of taxpayer money being spent on them, needs putting into perspective.

 

In the year ending June 2023, there were 44,460 people detected arriving by small boats according to government figures.

This means small boat arrivals amount to 3.7% of overall immigration to the UK which was 1.2 million during the same period.

 

If the previous government had processed these arrivals expeditiously (rather than making a song & dance over it), they might still be in power.

Hymie  - one word............'illegal'.  That's why.

[Hymie]

That is why you process them and throw them out – not put them up in 4 star hotels for a prolonged period.

TTT has been asking why the media are referring to the rioters as ‘far right’ – this youtube video should remove any doubt for him.

 

[Hymie]

Here’s another video worth watching without the sweary bits.

"I'm not prepared to try to burn the place down, but my objections to the scheme are the same as those who did."

the difference new judge is that you direct this opposition toward the government and aspire to change government policy... you do not direct it at the people involved and do not do so with violence or with the intent that others apply violence for you. the far right is all about attacking vulnerable minorities with violence for political gain... if you did that then you would be far right yes.

When all those people stormed the buildings in America after the election, there were over 1300 arrests. I think the same will happen here. I'm sure FRT will find quite a few. I've no doubt that there were drones taking photos and videos as well. As Starmer said, they will be caught.

[naomi24]

Keir Starmer and the truly awful Yvette Cooper both say they're going to be dealt with harshly but just last week prisons were full.  Where are they going to put them?

[youngmafbog]

Dont worry Naomi plenty of room for political prisoners.

Shame they didnt do the same for other protesters, but then Sir 'Two tier' Starmer wants thier vote

[sandyRoe]

When the same problem of overcrowding in prisons arose in Belfast in the early 70s the authorities released 'ordinary decent criminals ' in order to have room for rioters.

[Old_Geezer]

Probably a risk they're willing to take to get some action on the issues instead of empty words.
