  1. Is there actually participation from people that are not hooligans or members of the EDL?

  2. So theres now clips on Twitter of mobs of young men of a certain demographic marching through Blackburn and Stoke fully armed with hammers and knives and the police just letting them get on with it

    Edit: Heres the one in Blackburn

  3. Tempers flare? Why is the language around far right rioters so timid? 

  4. You know what’s sad, it’s probably the last beautiful hot weekend of the summer and people are scared of going out to the city and having a nice day as these people are causing riots in the name of hate to fear munger

  5. I seen someone on GB News, Bev Turner is her name, say that their doing this because they are sick of level of immigration. Sounds like she’s excusing and justifying terror and needs to be investigated.

  6. Too often people brush this off as just the right wing being the problem. And yes, the people rioting are just thugs, and the far right are hateful. Throwing rocks at police and burning some cars doesn’t achieve anything, as with any riot it is merely people taking advantage of the situation in order to get away with violence and looting.

    But the far right and these riots are not the root cause of the problem, they are merely a symptom of a much greater issue.

  7. The headline shouldn’t reference Southport – this has literally nothing to do with that.

  8. Looks like the punks in Blackpool caused some damage lmao. Great idea to have your little fascist rally during a punk festival.
