1. I bet Russian intelligence is trying very hard to stir up all of this chaos – we really need to address social media and the abuse of our free and democratic environment, how you do that though I have no idea.

2. I remember him claiming during the election that he had shut down the BNP by being a more reasonable voice than them. They just rebranded, and he’s making a living off whipping up their hate.

3. this is stochastic terrorism from farage and more needs to be done about it.

4. “paramedics said 39 police officers were injured.” Good thing the police were there I shudder to imagine what could have happened if the thugs weren’t prevented from doing as they wanted to the mosque.

   This type of behaviour is unacceptable

5. A block to farage’s nads would win an Oscar.

6. Milkshake sales wherever Farage is are about to skyrocket.

7. 39 policemen? Did I read this right?

8. Yes, Farage caused the anger, not children being stabbed.

9. Russia is definitely muddling up using social media

10. We don’t have any real info on the suspect (and even if we did, this is not justice) and people are already targeting a mosque and a community. Absolutely vile and shameful behavior. Pure hatred, no thoughts, nothing. The majority of muslim people living in Europe are peaceful people and rightful citizens, there is no excuse for what happened here.

    Far right and alt right people are one of the biggest threat to Europe today, fueled by politicians who feed them lies, angering them, and foreign countries manipulating them.

11. I didn’t think the Brits still had it in them to get outraged over yet another stabbing by a terrorist. Guess I was wrong.

    Sadly, this is what you get when violence (largely committed by people of foreign origins) gets to unbearable levels and targets children.

12. Sorry, hang on, if there’s anything people SHOULD be angry about it’s probably .. ya know.. the brutal murder of multiple children, no? Some of you people in this sub have totally lost the plot.

13. Well, native British should be angry.

    Time and time again natives are sacrificed to the altar of diversity and then gaslite.

14. Farage had nothing to do with it. The riots were caused by a bunch of violent thugs who took advantage of the situation.

15. That article doesn’t appear to say anything about Farage.

16. It’s almost as if unregulated mass media platforms being exploited by far right wing conmen in order to whip up the pure, ignorant hatred of its chimplike base is a bad thing, actually.

17. The only thing whipping up anger is the uncontrolled movement of 10’s of thousands of men

18. Why are hate crimes against women so normalized?

    Girls taking dancing lessons were targeted and 3 of them have been murdered. We should be talking about ways of making women safe and not allowing women to lose the rights that were so hard to gain in the first place.

    Meanwhile, the only discussions allowed in public are going down the path of “Don’t you dare get emotional over this! And remember to call the murderer a Welsh boy!”.

    Of course anger will be “whipped up”.

19. Rightwing terrorists respond to rightwing terrorists, the center and left watch and do nothing.

20. Why is this the only post I’ve seen on it

21. Did anyone get accused in last weeks riot? The one where no one lost their lives?
