to think these people in Sunderland are not "protesting".

Where are the army in all this?

We have many people in this country who "aren't white" in their ethnicity. Many who were born here. Many who emigrated here - and indeed were encouraged to emigrate here.

We have a wide range of faiths here.

It seems to me that some of these rioters won't be happy unless we had a white country. Seeing as how they attack mosques, they attack people who "look foreign".

Do they want everyone who's not white to just leave? Even those who were born here.

What does "get our country back" even look like? We are a diverse country with many people who either were encouraged to emigrate here or who are the children or grandchildren of people who emigrated here. Which makes this country their country as well

The Peasants are Revolting.

Apologies obviously I got it wrong! I was going on what I had seen/ read in social media that was causing these issues! I'll back out as I was trying to work out why it was going this way but apparently others know better.

@Wishfulthinking1977 I watched it over and I don’t think it can be that. This is pre planned and I don’t think he could have said anything to defuse it.

I’ve no opinion on Starmer, he’s only been in power five minutes, so not like I’m a fan of his.

@MistressoftheDarkSide sleeper cell was my first thought too. This is too well coordinated. And the excuse they’ve latched on is so appalling, they’ve been waiting for something, anything to unleash this.

It just means it’s white people only. End

It means fuck all

I still want to know about "getting our country back"! What does it actually mean? No one seems to know,

All the posters who sympathise or understand the rioters point of view better hope their friends or loved ones don’t get caught up in this .

There was uproar a few weeks (rightly so) ago following the violence towards the police at Mcr Airport. Why,all of a sudden is this 'riot/protest' acceptable? Attacks on police, police cars and now police buildings.50 officers injured during the last 'rent a mob' turn out, as well as Poilce dogs. Tanked up dickheads following the crowd. Its fuckin embarrassing.

Do you think this an acceptable reason to riot?

I really don't think you can pin this on Starmer. The riots started before his press conference.

You have that wrong. Everything these people do is on them. They are criminals. They aren’t heroes or the oppressed. They actually oppress their own fellow citizens whom they clearly despise, because unlike the rest of us who can use words, they want us to be scared to death by their violence. They are trashing our country.

Which peaceful protest?
The one in Southport against a Mosque - what were they protesting about?

The thugs have used the tragic death of 3 young girls to riot. I hope the full force of the law is applied to them.

I’ll bite. What is your version of British monocultures that we should be burning building a down to protect?

Where’s the army?

Unfortunately starmers speech apparently stoked a massive fire! The original peaceful protest did get hijacked but his comments and 'threats' were construed as causing a division and has spread throughout social media calling for a 'stand against a police state' I'm certainly not agreeing with what's going on but this is what I'm seeing and from what I am seeing/reading it's going to get alot worse 😔

Spot on, I am not going out tomorrow (Nottingham) as it is all set to kick off here and town is all but shut down in anticipation of trouble

Wanting their country back. Don't make me laugh. They wouldn't have a bloody clue about the history of "their country"

They are imbeciles with the thought capacity of a rock.

They are fucking racist thugs
End of

They're so stupid that they can't even communicate effectively to the rest of us about what they're protesting for and what they're trying to achieve which makes their 'protest' pointless. What is it supposed to achieve if no one really knows what it's about. If it wasn't so disgusting and embarrassing it would be laughable. It's amazing that anyone can be that dumb but with any luck they'll set fire to themselves soon.

Just have to keep in mind the fact that there are over 69 million people in the UK and the overwhelming majority of us think they are scumbags.

One from the Southport “protest” got arrested after police were called to a domestic abuse incident (on a ‘male’ in the household) and recognised him.

Yes it's important

Mumsnetters and there children may otherwise get caught up in it and get hurt
