General UK politics VIII - The Last Tory

[Garrison]

So the suspect has been named and the PM has set a national effort to track down the right wing thugs.

Has the suspect been named? The link you provide just says Starmer said it was a matter for the courts to decide. The person arrested with a flick knife has been named, 'Jordan Davies' disappointing un-Islamic for some tastes.

 

[Garrison]

Oh dear. Wait till he finds out the ethnicity of Thomas Hamilton (Dunblane), Allan Grimson (North Shields) or Jake Davison (Plymouth). He'll go absolutely bananas when he finds out where Fred and Rose, Ian and Myra and Lucy Letby come from. Brit patriots just don't do that kind of thing.

And we all remember the attacks on doctor's surgeries after Harold Shipman was caught, and the attacks on police stations when Wayne Couzens was arrested for killing Sarah Everard...

I do remember the attack on a Paediatrician in Portsmouth because the geniuses don't like 'Paedos' & got wound up and set in the wrong direction by The Sun.

Yes

The suspect in the Southport stabbings has been named as Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, 17, after restrictions preventing him from being identified were lifted

ETA, the judge decided it was in the public interest to counter disinformation to release the name

The Welsh decision to lower urban speed limits is having the desired effect.

The number of serious casualties or fatalities has dropped 23%, with 78 people killed or seriously injured on both 20mph and 30mph roads, compared to 101 serious casualties in the first quarter of 2023, before the default 20mph.

When minor injuries are included, the figures still show a 26% reduction for casualties of all severities.

Presumably on the other side of the ledger is all the trauma and suffering endured by drivers who had to go a wee bit slower.

Interesting how low down the headlines the rate cut to 5% is.

 

[Andy_Ross]

Yes

Remember Goebells said Kristallnacht was a “spontaneous manifestation of indignation against the murder of Herr Vom Rath by the young Jew Grynsban.”

ore or less exactly what Tice, 30p Lee and Farage have been saying about the riots.

 

[Andy_Ross]

They smelt of the pubs , and wormwood scrubs and too many right wing meetings.

Lozza and Cosplay Jesus have identified the cause of all the riots on their video podcast "Fox & Father"

it’s liberal and feminist women, they are worse “than the Mohammedans and the Jews” apparently

Video in link for those with the stomach.

Robinson has to be on watch list somewhere.

 

[Andy_Ross]

Sideshow God thinks that he can get away with inciting racial and religious hatred without any negative consequences because he is dressing up as fake vicar. Prosecuting this toxic **** would be good start to the crackdown.

 

[Andy_Ross]

not a squeak from the Opposition benches on this weeks events. You think they could give reform a right kicking over it but silence!

Makes you wonder, but then, maybe not

Karma and/or schadenfreude. "Brick Dick" on Twitter.

Thanks to Rat for highlighting this for me.

In case you haven't seen it, it involves a 'protestor' at the disgusting and despicable 'protest' in Southport last night. As he struts towards the riot police, goading them, a brick thrown by his own side hits him on the back of the head while another bounces off a police shield into his shoulder. Then, as he turns to stagger away, another hits him squarely in the bollocks. Brilliant stuff.

Having not driven for many years I inherited a car last year. I noticed a lot of the rural villages around here (central Scotland) now have 20 mph limits. There's not been any particular fanfare or controversy around this, as far as I've been aware.

I've not been to Scotland, but quite a few cities in England have them - I 've seen them in London and Portsmouth. The main difference in Wales is that 20mph is now the default instead of 30mph in built-up areas.

Farage says people setting fire to public services and attacking police was nothing compared to what is to come.

Helping calm the situation there

Meanwhile not a peep from the Tories.
