Thank you for this soothing thread. Much needed cats & sunsets today.

Staying off social as I badly want to swear at all the idiocy.

Thought this might raise a smile

I've just been told not to go into work tomorrow because it might not be safe Sad

Chief whip of Reform UK Lee Anderson on GB News said “British working class lads out throwing stones and damaging things aren’t far right thugs”

He goes on to downplay their actions, saying they have “probably had one too many and got involved with the wrong crowd”

itsgettingweird · 06/08/2024 20:04

What crowds that then? What are the crows out rioting then in Anderson's opinion?

It doesn't even make sense what he said 🤦‍♀️

RobinStrike · 06/08/2024 20:05

Thanks @DuncinToffee for the new thread. No pets but a sunset tax from me

To everyone who is in areas that might be targeted or your loved ones are, I will be thinking of you tonight and tomorrow. Hopefully it will turn out to be a case of all mouth and no trousers.

I am staying away from the rest of MN. It is too much to bear right now.

It looks like the hotel in our neigbouring town is on the list. Police arrested at least 5 rioters last Saturday.

Do you have a list (link) of places they are targeting?

I've have been known to have one too many drinks.

But I've never set light to buildings, looted or attacked police officers.

Honestly how low do you have to go to dream up excuses for that behaviour?

Thanks for the thread 🧵
I can pay my taxes with a hotel cat! This one liked a tummy rub.

No, I don't, just basing it on local rumours.

Thanks.

I have to take ds into the city tomorrow for a hospital apt.
Although it's not near city centre my route takes me that way (but I could go another way!)

I really don't want to drive straight into anything

I bet they would be if they smashed his windows.

PickAChew · 06/08/2024 21:14

In other news, I'm wondering if we're over the hump and heading back to normality because the private school and benefits threads are beginning to proliferate again.

newnamethanks · 06/08/2024 21:19

How about those lovely lads pushing burning waste bins into a hotel where asylum seekers and their families were living? Just a bit of drunken fun of course whining 'Wot Abaht the Kids' whilst trying to burn them out. It's more reminiscent of Kristallnacht 30pLee. You'll know what that is and here we are, not far off 100 years later, still surrounded by knuckle draggers.

I’m on hol abroad so not really keeping up. Did have a chat with a chap from India today who was on a tour I was doing and was very happy to explain how thick and stupid the rioters were and how most Britons despised them.

Watching Andrew Tate and Tommy Two Tits fighting over the #FaragesRiots has given me a cunning plan. Offer a reward to the thugs and their posse of film makers to hand in and ID the twats at the #UKRiots They'll all ID each other. 50 quid and a bag of chips should do it.

Just sat watching the news with my ds.

And he said

Johnson thought he had it bad when he got covid. Keir got cunts. 😂😂🫣

Apolloneuro · 06/08/2024 22:17

I find it interesting how Fararse and Tombum are now turning on each other on X. That could prove useful.

Evening. I have had a relaxing day listening to Sinead O’Connor, The Pogues, The Unthanks, The Chieftains and doing a craft quite badly but with determined enthusiasm Grin

Out there <hand wave> is still grimly racist and batshit, I see…..

Have you been checking out my recents on Spotify there? 🎶😊

No cat tax tonight as she's asleep downstairs. I thought I'd wait til tomorrow but we could be on to yet another new thread by then!

So instead here's my crop of potatoes for this year, dug up today for dinner tonight with friends. We may be some way off becoming self sufficient 😂
