Do we think the riots will end soon?

[radiator2]

I’m sure everyone knows about the riots going on right now. I’m disgusted and I really can’t see an end to the violence. I was just wondering when people think these riots will come to an end or if this is just the beginning of what is to come?

I know many people over the years have said they think a civil war is coming and I’ve never believed it but I do think with the level of divide in the UK currently the level of violence etc will Increase

Ps my thoughts and prayers are with the families of those beautiful girls who were murdered and whose deaths have been used for a political agenda

Had a song line stuck in my head since around election time. ‘The history book on the shelf is always repeating itself’. Unfortunately it seems to be ringing true and we’re seeing Nazi type hatred in full force again. Sad to think racism etc never really went away people just got better at hiding it until it’s become more widespread again

Sadly I think many have forgotten this poem.

The last line..
then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me

Please please if you are wandering around and see a person of colour being harassed, stuck, whatever, just go up to them and give them that life line “ hey bob how are you? Haven’t seen you in ages lets get a coffee”. This is the time that the silent majority needs to be vocal against this mobilisation of people wanting to destabilise the country.

They claim they want economic prosperity well, this is doing far greater damage and it needs to stop.

Bet they were all cheering and happy enough about immigration when Bellingham and Watkins etc were scoring at the Euros not too long ago.

Sends the lot of them to Rwanda, it's a safe country after all!

Yes but if they’d missed like Saka etc did (not a football fan ) at the last international tournament they’d have posted racist memes and videos. They are thick as mince.

In 2011 when we had the Tottenham riots it lasted a week.

That was 14-odd years ago....

And only in Tottenham, all over the place now.... Much more frightening now.

Tottenham riots were about police brutality.

This is about right wing extremism. Very frightening.

I'm with the Nans against Nazis! old enough

Hopfully this stops when the rain starts and the rain starts soon x

It was literally all over the country! I don’t agree with any riots regardless of the point. I remember the same fear living near a major city with a baby. I don’t have that this time as we’re not on the list. I still look at these rioters the same way.

Riots don’t fix anything, regardless of when it was or why it was.

One of my old lecturers postulated that the main causes of civil unrest throughout history were ‘high unemployment and too much sun’. I tend to agree. The rioting will end when the weather gets back to normal. It’s all too much like hard work when it’s 9C & pissing it down.

It will be very quiet from tomorrow

Now the Ethno nationalists who are nazi scum are involved, it will all die down now.

The organised resistance,
The farage and Tommy Robinson supporters, as well as the football thugs will be done with this now that the Nazi’s are involved.
Lots and lots of ‘events’ now cancelled

Well I hope this government realises they need to fund public services because the last thought it was okay to keep cutting funding to police, the nhs etc. I also hope they realise they need to be careful with what the mainstream media spread in attempt to cover up their weaknesses and shift the blame to ‘the boats’.

Just seen a video of ‘protesters’ checking if people in cars were white before allowing them to pass. I’ve also seen a video of a poc being dragged out a car by these evil thugs as people yelled things like ‘kill him’ I feel sick to my stomach. This is deep rooted hatred and racism that is being passed from one generation to the next even when the riots end I doubt this hatred will. Never felt so scared or ashamed of this country

He was not an immigrant.
He was British born in Cardiff.
Also not relevant but to note he was not Muslim.

This was the tories doing.

It does feel like a tinder box and commentary on why has been slow

It won’t stop until the hard of thinking in this country find another cause to protest about .I am a great believer in free speech and peaceful protest but not this mindless violence . Anyone who recognises their employees should sack them for bringing the company into disrepute. Benefits should be stopped for anyone who should be actively seeking work. I hope we don’t have to use armed police but I do believe we should use things like water cannon. I feel so sorry for 2nd and 3rd generation immigrant families who are British have lived their whole lives here and are now being drawn into this situation.

I read an old American magazine from 1970's and an article said hot, humid weather always incited rioting and looting {Probably Rolling Stone magazine}

I was surprised, but it definitely does seem to be so.

I was appalled to see the police so outnumbered yesterday, {Rotherham} backs to the wall, and the Malinois dogs were muzzled!
The mounted section looked to be trying to keep their horses away from the worst of it.

I hope no one was seriously injured.

@Gummybear23 His father is Christian. No information on killer's personal religion. It has not been explicitly confirmed if he is an atheist, Christian or have any other religion.

Check yourself. You're comparing the Notting Hill carnival which is a long standing social and cultural event with utterly despicable, deliberately destructive, violent, unlawful rioting by lawless, racist numbskulls.🙄

This is sickening and so worrying OP. I agree this is deep rooted and rotten racism pure and simple. It never went away. The police and government are not doing enough. These people are not savages let out of the cage for the day, they are neighbours, colleagues, friends and relatives. Everyone should be worried about what this shows about life in the UK.

I agree it was very worrying to see the police so outnumbered. There has been criticism on why crowd dispersal methods weren't deployed sooner (I'm imaging things like water canons and tear gas I guess - was my thought too!). I expect there will be a more coordinated approach to any further rioting after the Cobra meeting this morning.
