Could target anyone not white, and anyone with an accent. But hey ho, Democracy manifest and all that.
Since the general public are mostly as thick as shit I can’t possibly see this going wrong having what will turn out to be a load of bigots thinking they are above the law.
Graffiti will be down 80% while heavy sack beatings are up a shocking 900%
If you wanna help police in your spare time, go join the Special Constables and do it properly
I wondered how far into austerity it would take for private security to start popping up. Guess this could be a sign of this beginning…
> “Defund the police” they said
> “It’s fine, I have my own security” they also said
When there is backlash against what is in effect a modern neighbourhood watch it makes you wonder how hard this drive of disorder is being pushed on purpose. It’s obviously been created on purpose to control and demoralise people but to use ‘racism’ when they are literally just patrolling keeping an eye on crime acting as a deterrent is actually scary how hard whoever has created this crime epidemic/disorder across the whole of Europe want disorder. It feels like a hidden war.
Group set up to fight crime. Campaigners say yes, but not these criminals please, and no loud noises, in fact, don’t go out, let the police handle it.

Almost half those arrested for race hate disorder in Belfast last August had previously been reported to the PSNI for domestic abuse, The Detail can reveal.
The police data, obtained through a freedom of information (FOI) request, highlights a significant overlap between public violent disorder and domestic violence.
Sonya McMullan, regional services manager at Women’s Aid Federation Northern Ireland, said the figures were unfortunately not surprising.
“These displays of public violence and disorder on our streets were meant to be a reaction to violence against women and girls, yet those who were creating this disorder themselves had histories of domestic abuse,” she said.
The murder of three children in Southport at the end of July 2024 sparked riots in south Belfast and in towns and cities across England.
Far-right activists and social media accounts often justified violent protests as a reaction to wanting to protect women and children.
Seven businesses in Sandy Row, Donegall Road and Botanic were sacked in targeted attacks by rioters following a far-right anti-immigrant march on August 3 2024.
In the following days, unrest and attacks on the homes and businesses of those from ethnic minority backgrounds continued.
There were 48 people arrested in relation to the disorder, of which 23 had been reported for domestic abuse. The figures for Northern Ireland – 48% – were higher than the UK average (41%).
Groups working with women in Northern Ireland said that the figures showing high rates of race rioters with histories of domestic abuse here were not surprising.
“The figures are extremely important to highlight, because they show what we in the women’s movement have said from the start; that violence and racism did not stem from a righteous revulsion at violence against women and girls,” said Elaine Crory, from the Women’s Resource and Development Agency (WRDA).
“From the very start, the violence itself made victims of more women and girls and destroyed people’s homes and their sense of safety – all hallmarks of domestic abuse offenders.
“Politicians who give cover to this kind of argument really need to face this and seek to understand how their language can actually lead to justifying violence against women and girls. Ideally, they should withdraw their comments and endeavour to learn from experts in the field.”
Women’s Aid told a parliamentary committee last year that PSNI statistics – which already show domestic abuse accounting for 1 in 5 of all crime – are only the “tip of the iceberg in terms of the epidemic that domestic abuse is in our society.”
Ms McMullan, from Women’s Aid NI, said there is a normalisation of violence on our streets, as well as against women.
“In Northern Ireland we are a society coming out of conflict, a society experiencing inter-generational trauma and over the years have seen a normalisation of violence on our streets, Ms McMullan said.
“It is clear that these latest outbursts of public disorder caused intimidation and fear within communities and caused many to have to leave their homes.
“The issue of violence against women and girls in Northern Ireland is at crisis point, we need to act now, resource services appropriately, manage the issue of serial, repeat offenders and hold them to account to keep everyone safe on the streets and behind closed doors.”
Some of those arrested were children – the youngest being just 11 years old.
Most of the children and young people engaged in the disorder were not previously known to the police, according to internal documents from a multi-agency meeting at the time, obtained through a separate FOI request.
The document states that the PSNI were “concerned about extremism, radicalisation and exploitation of children”, while the Department Of Justice’s Youth Justice Agency “advised when (we) dig into radicalisation (we) often find other vulnerabilities like domestic circumstance.”

Decades of shit politicians is finally catching up with us
Not sure i trust anything from the Torygraph
Welp the Uk is a third world country now, congrats england!
Proud Boys – UK Edition.
Wonder what the uniform will involve…
Shirt in a suitably drab colour, perhaps a contrasting armbands of some kind.
The police are not there to protect you anymore, their job is control and fine you.. I’d sooner trust my neighbours and locals who care what’s happening around us, to patrol.
Basically like South Africa with private security firms in gated communities. Laughable and sad
Isn’t this like how the SS started?

Asylum seekers gonna steam through that wall of OAPs like a juggernaut through wet toilet paper.
And we move one step closer to the South Africa-isation of the UK. I guess I should get into private security to make cash.
Everyone who has lived there knows where the problems come from, and they aren’t from overseas and they aren’t local. Guarantee this will be full of incomers passing the blame.

Aye. Dinnae fear. You have more than olive coloured skin? Boom. The Safeguard Force will get ya.
Its for the greater good, Nicholas.
No different to when the various ethnicities running small businesses in London formed their own vigilante groups during the 2011 riots because the police were fucking useless for the best part of a fortnight, don’t recall stand up for racism whining about that though, the lazy race baiting wankers.
