Getting the full picture from the BBC isn’t probably the best idea.
They still think Dunblane was a mass stabbing event.
This is why people are losing respect for the police...

90%+ of what you guys posted in the other thread was wrong, pure misinformation so I'll take my chances elsewhere.

Just seen their type at many a football match and they are always the ones kicking off. Funnily enough they are kicking off fighting the police today, they were kicking off fighting the p0olice last night. You want to defend them you go right ahead.

Is it? More stupid than the utter nonsense being posted in the locked thread last night when many of you were coming in with your Twitter "facts"?
It sounds like a Monty python sketch.
It's not like the BBC to be disingenuous....Looking at the photos from the BBC's own article on it there are far more than tens. Definitely hundreds.
Yoga teacher injured while 'shielding girls' in Southport attack recovering, family tells BBC
The family of Leanne Lucas, who ran the Taylor Swift-themed dance class, say she acted like a "hero" during the attack, in which three children were killed.www.bbc.co.uk
All the better: let people ridicule them.
No one would.
Apologise. I didn't see this until after I posted feelings are running hot in my town right now.
I'll comment no more in this thread.

It's sort of ironic that John Cleese's views on the state of affairs in the UK, or in particular London would likely align with many participants of that protest.
Some pretty shocking scenes across Twitter tonight.
I might be wrong here but the police seem particularly heavy handed when comparing to other protests I’ve seen in recent years?
Also getting bored of the right wing/EDL narrative. Majority of these people will be no gooders(same can be said about the left) but this all kicking off has been a long while coming.

I'm not sure how a bunch of knuckle-dragging far-right racists and xenophobes using the tragic loss of children's lives to stir up division and racial / religious hatred so they could riot, causing disruption, damage and show a total lack of respect for the grieving families has ever been "a long while coming"

It’s an excuse that they’re using, but it has been a long time coming. There are increasingly unhappy groups with little to lose and who want to make a lot of noise with little in the way of policing in this country to stop it when it does kick off. We are lucky that for the most part people are pretty compliant.
There were a few large knife fights yesterday along the south coast that mostly went unanswered by the police and an increasing amount of social disorder too.

Look, I dont agree with any of it but you can’t deny there arent wider factors that have been brewing for a while now be that economic, media narratives, immigration, whatever. It was coming sooner or later.I'm not sure how a bunch of knuckle-dragging far-right racists and xenophobes using the tragic loss of children's lives to stir up division and racial / religious hatred so they could riot, causing disruption, damage and show a total lack of respect for the grieving families has ever been "a long while coming"
I disagree, I believe it would be a "flash point" if the reasons for it were valid and genuine, But they are not.
This is being primarily driven by a relatively small bunch of knuckle-draggers who are travelling to these places specifically to try and cause trouble.
They are using the death of innocent kids to stir up racial and / or religious hatred using entirely false narratives.
As someone mentioned earlier in the thread (or may have even been the southport thread)... The issues lie with the stripping away of so many social services / local community services that so often lead people down these path's where they feel like they have "little to lose"
Tweet isn’t true though the airport thugs were arrested and then released on bail, but as is always the way twitter won’t let the facts get in the way of a few likes/shares etc
It is also funny to see those saying that the lad at the airport ‘got what he deserved’ then basically supporting the EDL thugs throwing bricks at the police. Nothing like a good old double standard!
