Actions against the policing bill

Fair enough, if being on the side of effective response to rioting scum is fascist, your moral compass is a bit out of whack I think.

Is there much evidence that suggests those approaches actually work? I don't think it puts many off and leads to an escalation.

something seems to have gone wrong in your central processing unit, you may need to reboot

 

[existentialist]

I'm 68. I have had two lots of back surgery, and one of neck surgery.

Not really in a physical position to go rioting, even if I were inclined to do so, which I'm not.

I see absolutely nothing admirable about those who rioted last night. I hope they are apprehended and punished.

I'd kind of agree to the point that there is "nothing admirable" about the rioting. Rioting isn't admirable in and of itself. But it is an inevitable consequence of people being a) pissed off with what's going on, and b) unable to make any change another way. Both of them true, evidently, in what happened in Bristol.

Rioting - all disorder - is a social phenomenon. It's what happens when sufficient people find themselves tackling a) and b) above. And there really isn't any point inveighing against "lawlessness", etc., because the more you stamp down on it - as has happened fairly relentlessly over the last 20 years - the bigger the bang is that comes when even MORE people find themselves angry and powerless.

Anyway, good to see that at least the youth of Bolton West have some get-up-and-go to them:

Oh wow. How big of them. Fucking idiots.

Seems an appropriate and proportional response to me. But if you've an idea of what they should've done instead....

They should have written to their MP no doubt.

Or protested peacefully (and we've already seen what happens when you protest peacefully).

Certainly, the protesters aren’t fascist, but even referring to the cops as ‘rioting scum’ is a bit of a broad brush.

They did!

Some people are never satisfied.

[cyril_smear]

I’ve never been to Bristol. Is it any good?

it is now

 

[Sue]

I've never understood the obsession people have with this Years ago, I was in a relationship with someone who had held the rank of lieutenant in the Red Army, and she made a big deal of how many seconds it took her to strip down and reassemble an AK47. I can't remember how many seconds, it all sounded too daft for me.

Any road, this would maybe be more useful

I don't think it counts unless she was blindfolded .

Does anyone know if there's any truth to the rumour that Avon & Sussex Constabulary are seeking a mysterious dog hypnotist after police dogs spontaneously mutinied and turned their teeth on their masters?

I've got through this much of my life without understanding how the South works, I'm not going to start now.

The chances of there being a third force introduced is zero because all the top cops would unite against losing their toys: and it would threaten to remove the figleaf of cops actually being there to deal with crime.

 

[Jeff Robinson]

I see the centrist vermin are demanding the revisionist Starmerite clique purge comrade Whittome for being too anti-filth or some shit.

And the government would never ever pay for it to be done properly.

Wankpot Tory Henry Hill gets semi tumescent...

FTFY

 

[smokedout]

eg

To be fair they had just murdered someone when that happened, it's not like they were attacking peaceful protesters for no reason.

 

[Riklet]

I’m so confused. How can you be both a layabout student workshy snowflake drug user and a violent members of a global terror murder network at the same time ?

Young people must work more than one job in todays casualised gig economy.

 

[hitmouse]

Was vaguely wondering: how do people reckon the existing anti-lockdown crowd will react to anti-policing bill stuff? Are there people in there who'll see it as an opportunity to fight back against... whatever it is that they think they're fighting back against, or will they tend to write the whole thing off as being Soros crisis actors or whatever?

So must all celebs, so many if who have three or four jobs eg broadcaster, writer, comedian and actor

The Tri-Force Agreement fell apart because Wiltshire and Glos wouldn't cede control to the A&S Chief Const on firearms ops, so it's somewhat implausible they'd let non-blueline outsiders go full GAL on their turf
