Do they really think Brighton, of all places, is going to be receptive to far-right riots? They'll be targeting Hebden Bridge next.

A bit of perspective

i think what we've discovered tonight is that Farage has been lying.

britain doesn't actually agree with him.

he doesn't 'have a point'.

could we stop putting him on the tv now?

since he basically only represents a fringe that have fallen for his lies. pic.twitter.com/J3cPbznOgC

Nice turn out in Bristol too.

The scale of the turn out to stand against the possibility of the far-right targeting of a law firm in Old Market, Bristol, is huge.

Merseyside Police dropping tweets with updates on jail time like Fabrizio Romano breaking transfer news.

A man caught trying to set a police van alight in Liverpool city centre on Saturday has been jailed today for 30 months. Declan Geiran, 29, of Kelso Road, Liverpool, pleaded guilty to violent disorder and arson to a police vehicle. More here: https://t.co/Bd086q4c7w pic.twitter.com/cpmWnm7rnv

30 months is joke. Jso protesters got 5 years.

 

Elon musk quote tweeted co leader of Britain first. He has now deleted the tweet but good grief. Elon has been fanning the flames in these riots.

Just Elon Musk quote tweeting the co-leader of far-right party, Britain First, who is sharing a fake Telegraph headline

But, y'know... now it's been mentioned as an idea...

 

In July 85% of reform voters thought that convictions for crimes are not harsh enough.



but when it comes to the riots however......

Reform UK voters are more likely to suggest softer sentences for those convicted of rioting

% of Reform voters saying rioters should receive no punishment, a fine or community service:
Criminal damage: 26% (+7 vs all Britons)
Looting: 19% (+5)
Violent disorder: 19% (+9)… pic.twitter.com/bnw7gTPTmR

Reform UK voters are also more likely to oppose non-judicial punishments for rioters

% of Reform UK voters saying they oppose...
Evicting rioters from council housing: 40% (+8 vs all Britons)
Banning rioters from social media: 34% (+19)
Banning rioters from football matches: 32%… pic.twitter.com/li6KfxLoY2

It seems reform voters want two tier policing

An interesting conversation between the late Sven Steinmo and Mark Blyth which discusses this whole area of austerity and it's long term possible outcomes...



I think it rather goes off the rails at various points but it's worth watching if you have the time.

 

This guy talks a lot of sense...

 

Yeah, he was really good around the referendum as well. Massive Leeds fan, unfortunately.

 

Oh really? Well, he might be right about politics, culture, economics and society but we have to maintain some standards.

I mean, LEEDS ?!?!?!

 

Shocked to hear that Farage hasn't held a single surgery in Clacton and that, along with Tice, has failed to declare any financial interests by the 4th August deadline.

 

Farage is right about one thing though... there ARE questions that we need answers to including, (but not limited to), 1) Has Nigel Farage been paid money by the Russian state or anyone working on their behalf? 2) Does Richard Tice like to interfere with young children?

I mean, I'm just asking questions here

 

No offense Andy....

 

Like Andy Capp, (that's MISTER Capp to you), I am also a high achiever.

 

TLW would have a word!

 

An interesting discussion from Novara Media, (between an Iranian catholic, a Buddhist Jew and a Bengali Muslim which sounds like the start of a joke but isn't).

Novara are a left-wing outlet which is broadly on the Corbynite left of the labour party. They're talking about the riots and the reasons for them in a reasonably evenhanded manner.

 

As an MP, this could be raised directly with the Home Secretary, either through a question on the floor or a direct letter. That's how MPs are supposed to operate, not via dog whistles on social media.

So Home Secretary, when will Manchester airport assailants of police officers be charged? It was almost 3 weeks ago.

Rioting thugs attacking police correctly being charged, what about airport thugs attacking police? https://t.co/3rn2PgwB5h
