That didn't take long.

That’s because what happened was a consequence of policy which I’m guessing our politicians have either been compelled to commit to by outside influences or have adopted as they see it necessary for power. Maybe both.

Therefore, anybody bringing attention to the consequences for this, no matter how horrific they are, such as children being murdered, needs to be demonised for daring to pose anything even slightly resembling a threat to the status quo.

The irony of a hit squad being pulled together overnight to suppress individuals doing this, however inappropriately, yet no action is taken for far worse mobs, far worse riots and far worse social consequences is beyond parody, especially with any attempt to label the discontented as ‘nazis’. Suppression of speech and unrest in response to horrific atrocities, cancellation and arrest for going against the narrative, compelled speech, protection of illogical lunacy. There’s much more, could go on forever.

As I’ve stated previously, I have every empathy for those just going along to get along. It’s perfectly understandable that the individual would feel stuck in this space. I do. A small mob rioting in a ridiculous manner isn’t the answer, it’s somewhere unhelpful between complete inaction and effective action. The whole country has felt ever increasingly divided and volatile, financially and socially. The reality is worsening and you do fear that there are probably many ‘yets’ to come.

I’m not convinced by this being specifically targeted against whites/the native population or what have you, or certainly not occurring for that purpose. Not ruling it out but I genuinely don’t and wouldn’t know. From my perspective however it does very much look like a deliberate attempt to empower those who feel powerless (and are therefore full of bitterness and resentment), disempower those who previously held any and create division and hatred (notice how that phrase is always employed). I’m ignorant of any conspiracies, I don’t particularly subscribe to a specific one, but this is all so ridiculous it’s starting to feel deliberately manufactured and eerily reminiscent of a pathway to totalitarianism.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Heres our sweet choir boy smiling after arrest.

The mountains are calling & I must go.

Is it me or is Starmer’s mantra to every difficult problem “I’ll set up a task force/unit to stamp this out? He uses words to the effect “They’ll use collaborative intelligence and cutting edge information sharing…” blah blah bloody blah.

He’s already wheeled that out as a laughable ‘nothing’ solution to tackle illegal migration and people smuggling and is now doing the same to stop protests and riots he selectively finds uncomfortable.

I know it’s early days and these are difficult issues but the guy doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence. He’s coming across as a complete weak c@ckwomble.

If anyone concluded that then they would be wrong. Despite our political differences I recognise you are a genuine patriot.

You can though, I am sure, understand why people might come to that conclusion given the disappointing way the Union Flag , and in particular the St George’s cross, have been hijacked by far right groups and used to throw a smoke screen around some appalling attitudes. Attitudes I am sure you don’t share.

It would help a lot if people like you made it much clearer how much you disapprove of these thugs.

No it didn’t so well done to him for responding positively to try to curtail this activity.

It’s necessary. Anyone who cannot see that and has even a smidgeon of sympathy for the actions of these thugs is part of the problem.

We need to leave policing to the police and the prosecution of offenders to the legal system. Not try to disrupt their work.
