This is why people are losing respect for the police...

Surprise as Keir Starmer suddenly wants to stop riots when they're instigating by white people.

So you're saying that, if the last couple of weeks riots were all carried out by non-whites, KS would have been absent and said nothing?

Absolutely this, in trying to keep order, I reckon he's potentially rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way.

Those saying it was far right thugs, yes, there's plenty of thugs, yes it was a shocking act of disorder that should never have happened but imho, your average, working class brit seems to have had enough.

Your average working class brit was at a vigil mourning the death of 3 children. He was not attacking police officers, drunk and being racist.

give it a rest.

it's absolutely tiresome hearing the same nonsense

Did he hold a press conference over Leeds, Harehills or even the machete fight last night?
Genuine question as I've not seen any!

I can’t disagree with you.

Thats not my point though.

Ooof.

 

[Participant]

I'm sure you've got examples of when Keir was championing "riots" from non-white people to make that claim?

Yes, the police station after the firearms officer diffused a dangerous situation at Manchester Airport with his boot.

Was there anything at all said about knife crime or is the BBC paraphrasing?

Not a jot.

He championed that did he?

I don't remember his holding a press conference announcing a new department specifically to tackle riots?

I remember him apologising a fair bit.

, ust normal hard working people who just want to get on with life, you know, the average working Brit.

Perhaps they should stop living their lives on social media?

I've just been out and plenty of people seem to be getting on with life today.

To be fair Starmer knows his voting base very well, i.e. people that know they can do what they want as long as there are religious sensitivities at play.

If he said nothing you'd be saying why isn't he saying anything.

Are you sure he only made a statement because the rioters were white or because:

"Last night saw disorder in central London, Hartlepool, Manchester and Aldershot, with police also clashing with protesters in Southport on Tuesday."

Four separate incidents on the same night. When did that last happen?

Probably the last time someone murdered three young girls with a knife. When did that last happen?

Crikey.

And how exactly is attacking police and burning vehicles going to prevent someone stabbing kids? Targeting mosques every time a crime is committed?

A) What did he say about it?

B) Not a riot
