Speaking to the press after a visit to the Hub mosque and community centre in Solihull, Starmer said the measures and subsequent sentencing of offenders ‘sent a very powerful message. But I also think that the work that’s being done jointly to reassure our communities is becoming more effective’

Something suss about these anti racist protests
He needs to enjoy his time as PM! …..I’m betting he, along with his fanatical left wing government, will be overthrown!
Revenge
🤣🤣🤣🤣jog on there was no planned meets for wednesday dude haha
…..this fool labelling British citizens as ‘far-right’ is laughable; he hasn’t seen the ‘far-right’ in action yet! 🫣😂😂
Great paper the Guardian !
The fact there wasn't the disorder was down to the large numbers of counter protestors showing the rioters for what they are mobs seeking out violence, looters, and arsonists. Starmer and the Police should be thanking the less extreme members of the public. Instead of patting themselves on the back.
Trocky
Deterred? There was never any taking place, it was all a flase flag to get counter protesters on the street then the govement and said protesters could celebrate a victory over the 'far right' (concerned citizens)
This man has totally offended me…..as an indigenous brit I'm still waiting for him to reassure our safety but this spinless man imo refuses to accept us as legitimate part of society! So guess what….he can kiss goodbye to my tax revenue, as I'm now going to become inactive…..so how do you like those apples two tier kier…..you silly silly man!
Acid attacks? Knife crime? gangs? Rapes? Kids being killed? Unbridled out of control invasion? Places of worship used as recruitment centres? Lack of jobs?training for British ? Doctors? Dentist? Housing? Hospitals? …………….none of this has been addressed why?
2 tier keir
When you blame all your problems on people who don't look like you…that doesn't make you a "patriot"…it makes you something else.
This man has the charisma of a British Rail announcer from the 1970s
Pravda press.
Making stuff up 😂
This channel though….🤡🤡🤡🤡
I believe in the deadly covid plague , far right riots and the tooth fairy. But that's just me.
Disgraceful
I came from a place where democracy is wearing off, and I can tell you who’s a dictator when I see one
The elites are coming down on Starmer and hes trying to put the fear in u.Will it work we will see
Spread misinformation somehow knowing exactly where and when these random riots are going to happen
Have thousands of people carry mass produced refugees welcome signs and chanting in the street during working hours
Muppet PM. Someone tell 2029 to hurry up.
Police 'presence' didn't reassure communities in Birmingham or Leeds.
"Says Starmer" the British equivalent a load of bull.
The "far-right" aren't the problem.
Lol he thinks police presence deterred the rioters, but the police are the incisors
It's about time we started having elected Prime Ministers.
Keep going PM
