   😂

2. When will we call a spade a spade cause this is just outright terrorism. People are scared to leave their houses and go about their lives because of these thugs who dont even have a clue what theyre doing.

3. Just seen a video of a lynch mob of far right attacking a black man in the centre of Manchester. These are pre-planned race riots by political extremists. What the fuck is going on?

5. I’m wondering if this is our equivalent of the Jan 6 riot that happened in the US.

   People all over the country just voted in a general election that Labour won by a landslide, but a small minority of extremists on the losing side, whipped up by disinformation and conspiracy theories being shared in far-right social media networks, and implicitly encouraged by right-wing political leaders, decided that the only appropriate response to this democratic result was to engage in a display of performative mob violence that revealed those involved to be the kind of full-on fascists that they’d previously been able to maintain plausible deniability about.

6. This is all very obviously organised and coordinated, c’mon security services, pull your finger out.

7. Hull thank the rioters for saving them on demolition costs.

8. What’s with all these riots since Labour won, something fucky is going on.
