To think there's got to be at least a couple of MNers involved in the rioting ?

[IdontlikePinaColada]

Based in the broad views seen here, I can't believe that there isn't someone who is involved either passively or actively.
If you are one of those, would you like to explain why?

I'm only bumping this to see if it's banned.

How do you passively riot then?

From the news coverage, rioting appears to be a predominantly male activity. I’m not convinced that the mn demographic (which admittedly has some men, but is mainly women) has much overlap with the perpetrators of violence on the streets.

I've been throwing bricks at the rozzers all day. I'm cream crackered.

Actively rioting? Probably not.

Spreading fake news and trying to drum up support? Yes, loads of them.

My feeling is that MN is far too left wing to ever be involved. I don’t think anyone on here would do this.

The rioters are a tiny proportion of the population. MNers are a bigger one, but still relatively small. I don’t think you can draw any conclusions. Though some are definitely spreading misinformation on here, so I bet they are doing it elsewhere too.

You think? Have a little look around. Lots of right wing views being expressed. And a worrying amount of outright racism.

Mn is not ‘left wing’ by any stretch of the imagination.

Well that’s my feeling!

I don't think so. The rioters are a tiny percentage of the population.

Useful idiots? There's lots of them on Mnet. Stupid fuckers, they're nothing but unpaid Putin's puppets.🤦‍♀️ And then there are far right proponents and Russian trolls.🙄

I don't think there are any actual rioters though. There may be partners of rioters.

By that I mean that you know someone (partner/family member) who is involved.

Exactly this

I was going to riot, but I got distracted by a massive salad.

Joking aside, I doubt there us any crossover.

I think these men, if they were aware of or have an opinion about Mumsnet users, would despise and denigrate us. It’s hard to think of two demographics which are further apart.

I agree. Reckon Crumbs is putting a few windows through. Maybe getting herself a nice new diamond fondue set.

Here's a link to a thread listing resources for any woman frightened tonight.

I just don't get the mentality.
"We want our country back, keep the streets safe for the kiddies and women!"
What, by setting bins on fire and rioting in the streets?!
Absolutely brain dead.

More like to be one of the many abusive husbands/partners that so many desperate women start threads about in Relationships. Violent thugs are overwhelmingly male.

I think it's naive to think it's just men out there
Saw a video of one woman pushing a bin down the street at one.
Some woman on our absolute cesspit of a local FB group is boasting about her husband being at one, and "he's doing it for the country" or some such shit. 🙄
Edited to say I bet there is a few MNers out there involved given how big it is on here.

Those types hate women. Even those among their number who are women, hate women.

Yep. That sort of aggression doesn't disappear when those men get home.

To be fair, there are some on here that are like that too 😂

The thread on the very day of the horror in Southport was shocking. Loads of posts, before any details were known at all, insinuating various versions of religious / Islamic involvement, then numerous posts spewing the 100% false Twitter allegations and some spurious ‘news’ channel. A fake Arabic name, / came on a small boat last year/ watched by MI5… a Bingo list so obvious…. And then those that had spewed this stuff were telling posters who had urged people not to speculate to get off their high horses as obviously they had been right…Loads of people saying this is why they voted Reform.

There have been disingenuous threads concerned about ‘Tommy Robinson’s’ rights to free speech having been suppressed.

MN is teeming with people who at the very least share some sympathies with these thugs, or are trolls stirring it up.

I am guessing that none of those posters have been out rebuilding mosque walls or sweeping town squares.

I agree.

See there is a lot of white supremacy on this site
