Starmer is holding a news conference following a meeting with police chiefs.
What’s the betting he does nothing about the reasons for the riots.

hats off to palace, they were always gonna be louder, and hate to say it but they were impressive ALL bouncing and singing.

More information is already surfacing about the accused.

Apparently the whole family relocated to Banks, near Southport. From the earlier descriptions I thought it was him alone.

They are said to be heavily involved with the local church, but I expect more about that to emerge very quickly. If true it would pull the rug from under some of the assumptions that have been made. He was also said to have been a quiet boy interested in musical theatre, and had appeared in a West End show. Again whether true remains to be seen.

The police have changed their statements. Initially they said that terror was not regarded as the motive. Now they are saying it’s an ongoing investigation which involves the terrorist branch. So it begins to look as though he might have become involved with others who they are looking for. Again, just speculation.

How on earth could anyone doing anything about something as unreasonable as mindless violence by drunken thugs?

What ever he says, he will make it boring.

I'm sure he will ask for calm.
Blame the 'far right'.
Tell us how tragic the murders were and how the families are in his thoughts and prayers.
Threaten protesters with jail.

Basically act like the authoritarian commie t*** that he is.

My point is - which I am sure you understand - is why did the riots take place? What was the catalyst? No murders in Southport equals no riots.
BLM disorder results in kneeling, full advertising of their cause and a huge recruitment drive to get as many people of colour into as many positions possible to diffuse the anger.
What will Starmer do to irradicate the mentality of a certain section of our community that is waiting to do us harm. Probably nothing; just don’t protest if another knife wielding idiot kills some more kids.

Is this Rudakubana or Starma?
