Played B

[Gromit]

The Russians used the Southport tragedy to sow seeds of social unrest in the UK and were hugely successful. Riots and attacks on the police have ensued. Fake news spread on social media has caused this. The grief of the parents has been cynically used by self serving racists to cause havoc.

// A Russian-linked fake news website fuelled lies that sparked violent protests over the Southport stabbings.

A Mail investigation traced the misinformation that spread like wildfire online, leading – 27 hours later – to an attack on a mosque and 53 police officers being injured as they tried to protect it. //

I hope the people who spread this misinformation are ashamed of themselves.

Whoever started the fake news rumour, this is a so-called excuse for violent idiots to rampage under the guise of white child protection. 

No one will be ashamed of this. All the guilty parties are bad.

the site is called "channel 3 now"

it's easy to blame russia but it worked because it's what some people want to believe. i strongly suspect that many of the people involved in the anti-muslim riots didn't care if it was true or not... they just wanted an excuse. 
 

tommy robinson spread the misinformation i notice. dangerous man.

Methinks the geezer who murdered three wee girls is a lot much more dangerous Untitled.

methinks danger comes in more than one form 

[ynnafymmi]

Methinks a triple murderer is a lot more dangerous than a ranting English nationalist,truth be told.But each to their own.

Yes and no.  If the authorities didnt pussy foot around a certain "community" then it would not be so easy.  

But no, much easier to just sling 'far right' insults in an attempt to silence.

I have been warning this sort of thing would happen, and here we are.  It really is as plain as the hole in your backside unless you are tainted by rediculous ideologies.

And beleive me this is just the start, it will get worse, sadly.

100's of people arrested in London riots,6 arrested in leeds riots,i wonder why?

Gromit - // I hope the people who spread this misinformation are ashamed of themselves. //

People who are capable of shame are not people who spread misinformation.

The two are mutually exclusive.

[andy-hughes]

fripfrip - // 100's of people arrested in London riots,6 arrested in leeds riots,i wonder why? //

Possibly because rioting is against the law?

[tommy39]

[tommy39]

[douglas9401]

"I hope the people who spread this misinformation are ashamed of themselves."

Just this case or historic newspaper articles going waaay back?

The press don't have clean hands when it comes to invention and rabble rousing.

[Clone]

The police in London were an absolute disgrace last night.

Their actions will fuel more anger.

[fripfrip]

andy-hughes 16:43,so only 6 people were rioting in leeds,you should have gone to spec savers.

[barry1010]

I said that all along. Puppets orchestrated by unknown and unseen puppet masters 

It's frightening 

 

[Arksided]

I totally agree with you Barry, why don't they have an inkling or thought of their own. A lot of young folk are smart enough to understand... why so thick?

[Old_Geezer]

Do you have a link to where TR was spreading the information regarding this tragedy ?
