There is plenty of injustice and inequality in this country, there is poverty and disadvantage and it affects all poor communities, whatever their ethnic makeup and regardless of immigration. Those wishing to paint the rioters this week as some sort of heroic successors to the Jarrow Lads are disingenuous in the extreme. During the Battle of Cable Street the non Jewish population of the East End rose in support of their Jewish neighbours, because they knew that those people were just as poor as them and not the cause of their plight and also that the Blackshirts were not the answer.
The answer is a united voice of black, brown, white people of whatever background pulling together and making their voices heard for change. This concept is absolutely not what those rioting this week want, and if Suella Braverman and Kemi Badenoch actually think they are seen by them any more favourably than the last Syrian to cross the Channel, they are deluded.
We know these riots have nothing to do with the murders of those poor little girls in Southport, they are being used, unforgivably, as an excuse. I don't find it a coincidence that Tommy Ten Names fled the country and his bail a few days ago and now look who is one of the biggest agitators in stirring up the situation this week?
