General UK politics VIII - The Last Tory

[Carrot Flower King]

Local radio warning that there could be trouble tonight in Middlesbrough again after this was posted all over social media.

Targeting refugee advice centres and immigration lawyers.

Yup, completely to do with the Southport stabbings: that's got me convinced...

Nothing to do with organised far right thuggery waiting for the first excuse after a Labour government is elected to start stirring up a load of *****. No, not that.

First sentence handed down was 2 months jail to a James Nelson for his part in the Bolton riots on Sunday

Good job he didn't sit in the road and block traffic, he would have got 5 years.

Two-tier policing, innit?

I've parked on that street in Nottingham, very handy for visiting the nature reserve around the corner

There's some sort of police alert in Reading, some people have been sent home from work early. Whether it's right wing rioters or something else I don't know.

Police are saying that the Nottingham address is the home of a elderly, frail woman, and has nothing to do with immigration services. When have facts ever mattered to fascists? They'll find something that he/she is "guilty" of.

I don't know if anyone on here has ever stayed in a Holiday Inn Express 'hotel' - I have, the longest stay for 2 nights while we were visiting our son and his family in Wales, we didn't fancy sleeping on the sofa..
2 nights was quite enough and that was just with my wife.. I can't imagine how anyone thinks that asylum seekers are accommodated in luxury surroundings. I've stayed in Motel 6s in the States that had better facilities.
And now those asylum seekers are scared to even leave their rooms.
The ******* that have done this should maybe be sentenced to a few years in a Holiday Inn Express. At least they might have a free flat screen TV.

It's a postcode that does cover the address of the East Midlands immigration service, though the road is a pleasant residential street.

The public have woken up and want the kind of action that Labour and the Tories will never deliver.

This is why politicians and the media are falsely accusing me of being involved in the riots.

Yaxley-Lennon is threatening the wives and children of the reporters who have tracked him down. He has form in this area

Protests countering anti-immigration action spread across country

Across the country, hundreds of people have gathered to counter the more than 100 far-right rallies planned at immigration centres, lawyers’ offices and charities.

...

While there have been a few sightings of the right-wing agitators promised, overall they have been far outnumbered by the anti-racist community members.

The address is/was the registered business address of a "freelance immigration advisor", but he doesn't live there. https://www.theguardian.com/politic...ters-to-avoid-grandmothers-home-in-nottingham

My daughter works in West Bridgford and they've had a team briefing about staying away from there (and other issues arising from the unrest as it impacts on her job).

Meanwhile, stupidity also abounds. This was posted only this evening, over a week since it was known the attack in Southport was by a non-Muslim, non-illegal immigrant, born in the UK:

Well this all has been coming for a long time and nobody listened country is fed up of illegal immigrants what happened up there was by a illegal immigrant who was known to the police and other services but yet again nothing was done to stop the man. This could be the start of it

 

[sinnikal]

Those people who went out tonight raised my mood somewhat.
The state of everything ... everywhere ... going ******* insane planet wide hasn't done anything to ease my general misanthropy lately.

It's nice to see people who don't have hate and anger written all over them in the news.

Who posted that?

 

[Garrison]

Well based on the BBC rolling report it seems the far-right loons are getting seriously outnumbered by counter protestors:

Yes the counter protests are swamping any attempted fascist protests.

Did they mention a lot of them are chanting Allahu Akbar

Who posted that?

Sorry, I wasn't clear, that was someone commenting on a local Facebook post, lost now to the endless churn. They clearly have access to the internet, but are unable, or unwilling, to find out facts and just repeat the lies they have been fed.
