Canadian Government issue warning to its citizens who are travelling to the UK. All this really is damaging our international reputation.

Apparently the police approached businesses at the ricoh and told them about a planned riot there so they are closing early.

It just sounds very weird.

I hope this is just extra caution as the police don’t actually know what to expect.

The list of targets is this document that seems to be doing the rounds across socials. Someone has created that. Is that person outside agitator like Russia, is it EDL (apparently they don’t exist), is a bored kid on their summer holidays…

It’s really difficult to know and what will happen.

Don’t underestimate our intelligence services. They’ve very tapped into the new digital war but you can’t get everyone and that’s the concern.

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

Don’t worry. Reeves will ensure there is far more austerity to come

Depends what job you're in for that one.

“riot” at a shopping park. Not even pretending it’s anything other than shoplifting now. And the usual numpties in this thread are desperate to make it something about their hobby horse. It’s a bunch of kids shoplifting and that’s it.

Exactly that's what I mean.

Are they really expecting so much looting later on?

You would really hope that if it was a bored incel gimp at their computer doing it then the police wouldn't let it get so whipped up.

Sky news is literally like the country is planning for an invasion of sorts.

Everywhere is the world when there are riots for an apparent cause or injustice the low of the low seem to want to steal things from shops. It’s utterly bizarre…

To quote Jessie from Toy Story 2, "if the boot fits".

That's Toy Story 3.

I totally get why immigration centres are being closed (although it's totally wrong that they need to) but just find it really weird that the police are ringing up Specsavers at the ricoh.

This shit is made for rolling news. They’re as bad as anyone.

Maybe Shoezone is actually an Islamist front

Nope, it's Toy Story 2.

To the point businesses are closing because of it though?

It just seems very extreme to be allowed to get that far.

I don't even think somebody in the remote parts of Iran with no running water or electric would be seen wearing them.

 

[duffer]

Give me control of the BBC and I can shut this down in ten minutes.

All they need to do is put out an immediate yellow alert for rain covering England and Northern Ireland, and all the fuckwit losers with a burning urge to protect our kids by looting JD Sports will crawl back under the duvet.

 

[pusbccfc]

It just reminds me of the 2011 riots tbf

Yep. 2/3 days of extreme riots and then on the final night the country boarded up and nothing happened.

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

Nope, it's Toy Story 2.

It's 3.
It's a well known expression anyway but at least you learned something from that great set of films.

Whatttt!

 

[Liquid Gold]

Out of town retail parks being shut early and estate agents are being boarded up.

Maybe there is genuine evidence to suggest major rioting?

What's the point in boarding an estate agent up?

You can't exactly loot a whole house from there

You can trace the low IQ idiots on socials but some are clever and won’t be traced without a lot of effort.

Guess it’s just to protect the shop front. Nobody wants damage to their business.

Imagine just for one day all the immigrants who contribute to our society and pay their taxes laid down tools, just for one day or one week. All the NHS workers, all the workers in hospitality, etc. The country would grind to a halt.

What was the warning ?

You've severely overestimated the intelligence of these people, I'm afraid.

I know it's a well known expression. I was right and wrong. It is Toy Story 2, but it was Woody.

Yup and who would do all this jobs that support the eco system of an economy?

The people involved in this nonsense have no brain cells.

Jesus Christ you don't half bang on . You're preaching what we all know. You could apply this to any group who pay taxes etc.

Thick as fuck, the lot of them.

 

[David O'Day]

Sheffield was a place where it was rumour it could get nasty, luckily seems okay so far but there's a lot of coppers there

I know.

 

[wingy]

She's had a bonus of some sort hasn't she according to the telegraph?
October statement should be interesting, hope they don't give another £3b out of nowhere for Ukraine tbh!

 

[wingy]

Flashmobs everywhere,get a selfie,stick it up there!

Yes and the immigrants who don't contribute to society and dont pay their taxes and were not here we might all be better off

Canada not shy about calling it terrorism. Their govt do seem to like to use an -ism,-ist or -phobe.

This is my point.

Who's naming all the places and why are the police stirring things too rather than calming?
