To feel relieved and optimistic that we finally have a PM who knows something about something

[mytuppennyworth]

So impressed to see the speed rioters are being dealt with. We have someone at the helm who knows something about the law. As opposed to the series of buffoons we have had in recent years who literally don't know how to pay for something in a petrol station, let alone how to manage a pandemic. And the worst of it was they were so thick they didn't even know that they didn't know.

I think Starmer knows what he knows, if you get my meaning -he has his areas of expertise, and will know when he needs to refer to someone else's area of expertise.

I feel more optimistic now than I have done for a very long time

Did Mr.Sunak's government not pay a contribution towards people's energy bills for a while?

You know you have written an incomprehensible sentence trying to claim someone else is thick. 😂

No one waits years for justice when the defendant has pleaded guilty. Sentencing is always within weeks. People wait years for investigations and trials because the criminal justice system has been systematically underfunded for 14 years.

There will always be harsher punishments for violent disorder (riot). It’s an offence that challenged the notion that the state keeps peaceful law and order so that people can generally go about their business, go to work, leave their home without fear. They cannot allow a precedent to be set where riot goes without severe punishment. It’s a shame for young people swept up in it.

Some people seem to be missing the point that these cases are being sped through the courts as a deterrent. It's pretty obvious that one of the reasons the riots have died down (which is good for everyone) is because of the very visible and well publicised cases of people going to prison within days.

The arrests and imprisonment are a detergent to stop the riots.

It always worries me when people don't understand these things. Half the country shouldn't be allowed to vote. No patience and no understanding of how things work to a basic level. Shocking.

Give labour a chance. It's only been a month and is going to take a lot longer than one term of being in power to turn the shit show around.

I like how many times you edited that. However, what caused the UK energy crisis? I’m not sure that you can say that was a good thing for the people when the mess was caused by his own party and people were still worse off. Try again.

Attempting to burn people alive is close to the most serious crimes imaginable.

The only people who have been sent down are those who pled guilty, and 70% of them are convicted criminals.

No, He gave people a loan, which they have to pay back,

I know I will disagree with most if not all government on many policy ideas. I still welcome competence though.

Almost none of the post 2019 Tory cabinet ministers would have been good enough to be in Mrs Thatcher's cabinet.

Right?

I was pointing out the poster had the year incorrect, and the speed in which defendants went to trial was equally fast.

But cheers for the education love, I had absolutely no idea that was the PM’s previous role and wouldn’t have known how to find out.

It isn’t. The way he has cracked sown on some protesters but not others is storing up problems for the future. I’ve never voted Tory but all this “Adults back in the room” nonsense is just that - nonsense. There is no difference in basic competence between Rishi and keir that I can see.

I’m not impressed with his inability to define a woman. I am also not impressed by his lack of discussion on female targeted stabbings.
He also appears to have very little compassion for pensioners whose only source of income is the state pension ( there are plenty of pensioners that don’t need the winter fuel payment and I’m not talking about them) and they will be struggling to keep their homes warm this winter

it was actually Liz Truss government that paid people energy bills. Rishi/Hunt discontinued it after 6 months as it was unaffordable

The energy crisis was caused by the resurgence in demand (and struggle to increase supply) post Covid and the war in Ukraine.

But the Jewish community has been terrorized by antisemitic marches for months and no one did anything. And that continues to be the case. So unsurprisingly as my family are too scared to go to the city and worried every time my kid goes to school, I’m none too pleased about Two Tier Keir.

Particularly as some of the alleged “anti racist” rallies were openly shouting and making antisemitic speeches. yet nothing was done about any of that.

The response to the 2011 riots was even better - some 3000 people arrested and 2000 charged.
This time however, there are no calls from the left for 'restorative justice' or calls for an official enquiry into 'underlying causes'.

We didn't get past page one before this comment 😭

The riots needed to be shut down as soon as possible so of course it's right they were fast tracked

There is a significant difference between 'marches' and 'riots'.

That is why the police quite rightly approach them differently.

It might not be nice, but it is necessary.

Most ordinary criminals don't cause massive fear, destruction and physical emotional harm on the scale rioters can. Individual ordinary criminal acts can't be deterred in one fell swoop by rapid action.

@User6874356 what antisemitic marches? There have been pro palestinian marches, as in wanting palestine to be left alone and people not being murdered. It wasn't because they didn't want jewish people here.

But the riots have been to try and hurt and get rid of Muslims and anyone who is classed as a refugee and in some cases those who are not of British heritage.

Also, marches and riots are 2 completely different things. Riots, people are hurt, vandalism occurs and the police have been injured.

Marches are just that, a walk with signs and maybe some speeches.

Are you high OP?

We prosecuting 13 year old now …. but that’s ok because they are all racist scum and Mr Starmer is our hero

13 year charged

YANBU @mytuppennyworth. He seems competent, effective and has dealt the riots very well imo.

As a bonus, the racists are raging and the Tories are tetchy as ever.

It's happening because they were rioting. Doesn't matter why they were rioting. Here we've had an 11yo charged.
