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

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.🙄

I do not need to ‘check myself’ thank you. I was simply agreeing that the weather can have an effect on people’s behaviour. Whether that be riots or other major events. (But as an aside there are still despicable, violent and racist acts committed at Notting Hill Carnival too).

They need to implement Martial Law and really crack down on the scum.

Yes. They are a bunch of brain dead no-hopers being manipulated by some devious bastards who are, in the end, still losers.

To anyone still here I’m sure you’re aware that the riots are still ongoing. I’m increasingly concerned about them especially as there are plans of them spreading and there doesn’t seem to be any signs of them stopping anytime soon. I’m disappointed in Starmer and his lack of action against them.

Well I don’t fancy inviting the Tories back to sort this out. Nor do I want Reform anywhere near anything. I do think they need to see Reform for what it is and the people propagating hate. The people who’ve been arrested are the foot soldiers, nobodies. They need to get higher up the chain of command.

Nothing Starmer or anyone can say will stop them. Maybe more arrests but thats just creating problems for CPS and prisons. Seems Starmer is playing the long game hoping they'll lose traction soon enough, lets hope so!

Massive Anti racist protests across England .. heros all .., fingers crossed no Nazis

The Southampton one ongoing is like a modern day circus. More locals out for a nosey than actual rioters. Its become a modern day Gladiators. The public should be ashamed.
