They are not protestors. They are not protesting. They are common or garden thugs and criminals who are causing criminal damage, setting police offices on fire and attacking police officers.

Total scumbags.

She deleted that statement shortly after.

Sunderland Empire has cancelled tonight’s performance. All that money lost.
We always go for a meal before going to the theatre.
I despair.

Sheepfolds Stables opening weekend, hopefully as they are other side of river not too affected.

Is that where they have a new little brewery?

It looks from photos very like the Stack, places to eat and DJ and music etc. Looks quite cool.

Liverpool did well

EDL right wing thugs getting marched out of Liverpool to the sound of Benny Hill, same again today please

Good for Liverpool to see off the EDL.

But I’m reading that there was significant disorder there yesterday, including a library burnt down and looting of shops.

So who kicked off in Liverpool then? And why?

Last night thugs set fire to the Spellow Hub Library on County Road in Liverpool - a place opened last year to help people in one of the country’s most deprived areas with routes into work and education They also set fire to a local shop

Police: ‘Many of those involved were young people and sadly, they were probably local. We are urging parents and guardians to make sure they know where their children are and what they are up to.’

Thank you.

So local thuggery then. I guess a sense of viral disorder plus hot weather just whips up morons of all types.

I was reading quite a lot of comments in newspapers. Not swearing or aggressive comments like the ones you see here from the kindest side. Many people who come across as decent were feeling that governments keep ignoring serious issues and concerns. There is definitely a sentiment of not being heard, concerns about pensioners being scapegoated and the two tier policing. In short I think you are right about dismissing this is dangerous and would backfired.

We had a General Election a month ago, I take it you stood on these issues that everyone else is ignoring, how many votes did you secure/

PandoraSox · 04/08/2024 12:13

Using the phrase "two tier policing" is a dead give away, if you ask me. It is the narrative being pushed by Yaxley-Lennon and Farage.

As I understand it Yaxley-Lennon is a migrant fleeing justice, is the two tier policing being referred to the failure of the justice system to bring him to trial?

God knows why Liverpool locals would burn down their own libraries.

MrsSkylerWhite · 04/08/2024 14:44

That truly is shocking @Rummly. why on earth would they destroy a vital public facility that serves so many deprived residents? So, thousands of kids, amongst others, with potentially no access to books during the school holidays?
Morons.

wayfairer · 04/08/2024 14:45

From lawyers for light:
Is this what people wanted?

Men with their faces covered commiting criminal damage and trying to drag immigrants from hotels. And these people have taken their children to this

If you think this is the way, you are flat out wrong. We will all suffer for this and I can almost guarantee that every one at this damage fest gives not one shit about the dead, innocent children killed around the world with UK assistance

We are a country in dire need of intelligence. We do not have it. Did any of these people react so savagely about the complete stripping of our rights in 2020, the masking of children, the injecting of children, the mandated injecting of care workers, the wholesale trampling of our autonomy? I very much doubt it, and I suspect most of these people masked and took the jab willingly.

These people have no idea what is going on at a deeper level. They are high on causing damage, and they seem to be enjoying it. I feel positive in saying that those with their faces covered may well have been paid to do this, and it is no surprise to me that as Israel loses support around the populations of the Western world, this sort of anti Muslim shit is occurring.

You may do well to look at operation Gladio and see how the direction was to switch to propagandise people into making Muslims the enemy, for Western gain around the world

I don't know my country any more. It is riven with globalist mind control and agenda policies and I wholeheartedly agree it is being ruined by them. But if we are ever to see those in "power" accountable for what they've done, this is not the way. Frankly a general strike for a month or two and a complete withdrawal of paying council taxes would grind this country to a halt, and mean that people have to be listened to. But that would actually take everyone standing together, and there is no chance of that

I post this as I'm on holiday from this channel, but I've taken the time to do so only because I am bereft at what I'm seeing. I will never support this as the way to deal with the very broad range of issues we as a country, and indeed the world, are facing

Today, no doubt, many more innocent people have had their lives cut short in the middle east, purely because of Western hegemony and greed. It looks like Iran will take action against Israel very soon, and that a full scale kinetic war will break out. If you don't think these things are connected to what is happening in the UK, you are not thinking deeply enough imho, because the West very much needs people to hate and other Muslims, in its quest to ravage the Middle East through war

What I'm fearful of now is the backlash and violence that could occur as a result of this. We could all find ourselves, having to take a side on this, simply to protect ourselves and our families. It's not a position I ever wanted to be in and I know that it's been pushed on us by the same small group that have caused untold misery for the last 4 years, and many years before that

Thats disgusting and a library in the most deprived area needed for so many locals! Who or why would anyone do that. Reminds me of Iraq before the imperialist went in there were 40 maybe 50 libraries in Baghdad i think it was alo g with hospitals and universities after the invasion there were 0 libraries and universities not sure whatbits like now, but probably polluted beyond anything with DE. Love libraries 😥. I wish they would stop destroying everything the tax payers are already shafted enough now will get even more crushed!

Edited

I think it's a bin directly outside rather than the hotel itself but obviously that could change. I hope they had enough advance warning to evacuate the hotel.

Summerflames · 04/08/2024 15:25

Utter scumbags. I feel sorry for the emergency services atm. I'm glad we can discuss these events here, it's saved my sanity.
