Those young people looting have no idea what is coming for them. They have just messed up their lives.

Primary school teacher in Middlesbrough supporting her son who organised the rioting

Is she completely stupid?

Yes. See her use of "use".

Is she completely stupid?

It would appear so.

Is she completely stupid?

Yes sooty. I think we can conclude she is indeed very, very stupid. If she is a teacher, her job is kaput.

RafaistheKingofClay · 04/08/2024 23:18

I feel like a lot of people’s jobs might be kaput in the next week or so.

LittleBowSheep · 04/08/2024 23:52

This one should make you giggle after what has truly been an awful week.

I can’t believe that’s a teacher - did she just threaten someone online?!

CassieMaddox · 04/08/2024 23:04

Fucking hell

I reported that tweet last night. Wont make a goidamm bit of difference but it's the principle..

And there will be awful lot of backpeddling from rioters in the coming weeks when they realise the consequences of what they have done.

That teacher should be sacked.

PickAChew · 05/08/2024 07:42

Well it's obvious that Musk condone that teacher's tweet. He's enjoying all the extra traffic.

I really should know better. I just ventured into the thread about Farage.

Me too. Can't cope with it anymore. It's no good for my head

DrRiverSong · 05/08/2024 08:16

I’ve just complained to the BBC. Describing these events as ‘protests’ and the people as ‘protesters’ and also chucking around the description ‘pro British’ is really reckless news reporting. This isn’t protest and it’s not pro British. It’s nationalistic racist rioting and mindless violence. It’s really angered me this morning. ‘Protest’ was the word attached to a video of balaclava clad men storming into a hotel having set a fire outside. It’s diminishing what this actually is.

Same. It all seems to be kicking off early today.

I know there is a shortage of teachers, but would her head teacher allow her to bring the school into disrepute? Surely that's a sackable offence. It's one of the reasons that you have to be careful with what you post online.

When I did my safeguarding lead training, one of the examples was that a member of staff had been photographed at a far right rally. What would you do?

Potentially very little since they may just have been passing by and not actually involved, but if they were involved, our answer was, suspended with immediate effect pending further investigations.

I doubt she will be a teacher for many more hours.

Full of the site's regular racists / far right posters and some newly arrived ones.

PickAChew · 05/08/2024 08:30

That farage thread would be great for the spreadsheet and bingo card if my eyes weren't rolling so much they hurt. Alas, I have more fun things to do, like grocery shopping and housework.

ForYouManImADoomBoy · 05/08/2024 08:31

quite a few people seem to be in the finding out stage of fucking around this morning. what do they expect when they are out rioting or making death threats/incitements to riot online?

ilovesooty · 05/08/2024 08:32

And a Cobra meeting has been called so those whining about Starmer not calling one can STFU. At least he can be trusted to actually attend it.

Providing excuses & cover to people that drag taxi drivers out of cars.

Notonthestairs · 05/08/2024 08:43

The message is if you want political change, dont bother voting, just set fire to libraries and hotels.

PandoraSox · 05/08/2024 08:50

The "we wil quell the riots" bit made me laugh, bitterly. a) he stoked them and b) he will not be involved in quelling them.

I hope every decent MP in Parliament blanks him for the next four or five years.

cardibach · 05/08/2024 08:51

Well, I’m going to go out and walk a dog. I volunteer at the local Dogs’ Home and it’s brilliant for mood lifting. Can trust the doggos, even the poor abandoned bullies with ears cropped by absolute arseholes to be non racist and just up for treats, cuddles and a good old walk.

HannibalHeyes · 05/08/2024 08:52

A good point from twitter;

“The far right have had a pretty bad year. The EU election did not go their way, Modi lost his majority, Le Pen came third, Starmer won a landslide, and now it looks as if Trump might be in trouble. This feels like a final violent tantrum.”
