Gathering for Tommy / Discontent (30 Viewers)

Saying ‘I don’t support street violence’ is not the same as saying ‘get off the streets’ or some other directive statement.

Who the fuck does he think he is

The deputy for Counter Terrorism has been interviewed on Sky and has called the police tactics in Rotherham as appalling.
It is. Just watch the footage . They're a sitting target. The mob are just doing what they like, throwing what they want at them and the police are simply defending themselves but doing nothing to stop the relentless barrage of missiles etc.
I feel sorry for the individual officers. They're doing what they've been told to do but they're nothing but target practise.

Yeah, I agree.

It must be tough for them, but I don't see much in the way of front footedness from the police and much more backing away and standing back until they then have to go in.

I am guessing that is the instruction

 

[Otis]

Gangs running about Bolton shouting allu akhbar.

I assume others who are posting tweets every 5 minutes have put these up?

Awful.

I do keep wondering how legit some of these videos are. On both sides

We know there are some foreign agents trying to stir stuff up and apparently, Iranian and Russian agents posing as British online and posting up fake videos and stock stuff.

If this above is true, it's disgusting and they need to catch them all and prosecute them

Literally had their backs against the wall.

I agree, I also saw another one that said about somebody being caught with a gun and a machete but it looks in the video like the police had taken a cricket bat.

 

[Otis]

Yeah, on some clips you can clearly see that.

In others they do seem to be keeping their distance at times

 

[torchomatic]

I presume they will identify them and arrest them over the next few days.

The situation is so dangerous that maybe arresting them there and then would amplify the violence even more.

 

[SBAndy]

For me, we’re in “full force of the law” territory now. Riots culminating in vigilante groups has a risk of spiralling to an even more devastating effect than we’ve seen so far.

Laughed out loud at that, funny as fuck.

 

[torchomatic]

Frightening stuff, group walk past Sky News reporter, one with a knife.



And in Bolton

 

[pusbccfc]

The whole thing is this week's moral panic.

It'll blow over by Friday.

Wish I had your confidence.

He can’t as if it stops everyone would blame him for starting it

 

[David O'Day]

most of them will be in prison by next weekend

Only if we let some out first!

Kicking off at a Holiday Inn, Tamworth.

There will be communities that have been under attack wanting revenge.

It does not end well this. With the level of violence, either by those setting two hotels alight or others entering the streets with fireworks, knives and baseball bats, someone will get extremely hurt or worse.

What a stupid thing to say though. Kier Starmer doesn't want to talk about the truth.

It seems it was only last night and more so today, that there has been fighting back by what is deemed to be the other side.

Who was on the streets saying "enough is enough" and "we want our country back?"

Certainly wasn't the Muslim community, or Asians etc. was it. It was predominantly, white British. We know that. So all the violence and aggression and protesting outside mosques, were white British.

Willing to have a bet with anyone, that now the situation has changed, Starmer will very soon condemn all sides and say all sides will be brought to book.

There was a police liaison talking to a group of blokes, one clearly has a weapon. He's telling them to take their weapons back to the mosque.

Very weird.

Do we have room in our prisons?

 

[David O'Day]

that barge is free

 

[Otis]

I would offer them 8 years in prison, or 1 day with Laurence Fox.

Yeah... I hope they keep publicising where they're going to be so I can avoid it!!

The video of the migrant recording the mob outside his hotel window in Rotherham is chilling.

 

[torchomatic]

Lots of accounts sharing the address of the hotel in Cyprus where Tommy Robinson is trying to hide out.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Still, it's all clear now!

That's just dumb and won't end well

What does it achieve?

I am just back from Poland where I saw where the Nazis undertook the clearance of Jews from the ghetto in Krakow. This is so reminiscent.

 

[Otis]

Still, it's all clear now!

No mention of lizard people?

Don’t know anywhere near enough about this, but if you’ve got a handful of officers with batons vs a lot more, some with confirmed weapons, many that you won’t be sure whether they’re carrying or not, calling for an amnesty probably isn’t as stupid as it first sounds.

all I know is that I keep seeing people say “they’ll all be in prison by next week”- but I don’t see how, you’re talking about hundreds, possibly thousands of people, loads wearing balaclavas, all to sift through and identify.

I’m as laid back as they come and a proper ‘hippy’, but I’d say much longer of this and a serious show of force is needed, to get these people off the streets and teach them that if that’s what they want to do then they’re gonna pay a heavy price. Then start sifting through the footage and hand out some very nasty sentences.

because loads didn't have balaclavas, the ones with them get grassed on and the courts are sitting 24/7 - it's what happened in 2011 as well

well we’ll see, but I don’t see how they will even identify all of them by next week, let alone get them all in court. You can’t just clear the courts to make room for this, there are other things going on too, and waiting lists to even get into court are huge.

 

[PVA]

Interesting thread.

 

[Bugsy]

What also dont help in the circumstances, is when the police or government went public in the news the other week about how the prisons are full and we're gonna let criminals out early.

The rioters/looters will think fuck it what they gonna do attitude as there thick as fuck.

waiting lists have no baring, it's arrest, no bail, court and then jail.
