Government has just announced an additional funding of £29m to protect mosques, I've no idea how that will be spent, private security or police overtime?

Yeah, that's where I'm at. There's all sorts of left politics in play here, but there's also already abandoned families scared shirtless.Worried about the people in that hotel in Rotherham.
Does anyone know what's going on there?
Presumably it will go via PCCs on some sort of formula basis?Government has just announced an additional funding of £29m to protect mosques, I've no idea how that will be spent, private security or police overtime?

Well, as a lot of PCCs are part of the problem (ie, right wing, anti-refugee racists and bigots - see that recent missive from the Isle of Wight/Hants PCC) it'll be as much use as a chocolate teapot.Presumably it will go via PCCs on some sort of formula basis?
I know a few groups have organised community meals with folk in hotels to try and build friendships and connections. I think that kind of activity is needed across the country.Yeah, that's where I'm at. There's all sorts of left politics in play here, but there's also already abandoned families scared shirtless.
As part of our response, I think standing outside is the best response. But I'd also love to talk to them donate, tell them they aren't alone.
A lot of them that I've been seeing today on various clips and streams look like juveniles.
That's just the way funding is made, in my experience, unless it goes straight to the Police and even then their budget is overseen by the PCC .Well, as a lot of PCCs are part of the problem (ie, right wing, anti-refugee racists and bigots - see that recent missive from the Isle of Wight/Hants PCC) it'll be as much use as a chocolate teapot.

I did the Parkrun there when I went to the Middlesbrough area for a wedding. And trite as it is I’m thinking of the mostly Asian care workers in that area I did the payroll for some time ago, one of whom sent me a long letter thanking her for sorting something with HMRC for her and sent me a luck-knot as thanks.The video pans round to Albert Park which, on Summer days, sees families of all faiths and backgrounds out enjoying the sun. Not today I guess.
All right, I don't want to disrupt this thread as it's both important and ongoing, but this feels like a backhanded reference to an idea of the "Israel lobby", and it's not welcome, and it's in the context of other reports on a similar basis.And they don't have any lobbies, money, or resources.

Digression aside, as you say it’s bigotry shitting all over public spaces. Those spaces need to be reclaimed.

It's possible you didn't mean it that way so I won't just do a flat ban. I'm just going to advise that you should be careful here and that this is a last warning on that basis.
I trust that we can continue onwards without further discussion on this point.

I have a feeling that some of the reluctance to kick off in London is both to do with the numbers of people here who'd oppose them but also the ease of getting there in time. If someone was trying to burn a mosque in Shepherds Bush where I live you'd find folk coming across from other places within literally minutes, because they can. Loads of people calling their family and their mates and they just get a bus or the tube or in someone's car. It just intrinsically takes longer for people to get to other towns and cities in support.I wonder if it is just different in London because there are POC everywhere?
Whereas in Bristol for example it is still very segregated. Most POC live in the urban areas as opposed to the rural areas.
I'm constantly surprised at my colleagues that have no experience of the inner city aside from almost in a tourist sense....and only experience POC at work. These are people that have never grown up or lived amongst POC. This is a very different experience from growing up in London.
I don't have to go very far- like a couple of miles up the road to be subjected to a completely different attitude- little Britain.
Bristol is a radical bubble, mostly concentrated around the centre and within that I live in a even more radical and alternative bubble ( East Bristol) where really I feel quite safe and rooted.
I love Bristol deeply, however growing up in London then coming to Bristol I was always very aware of the difference in the demographic and ignorance compared to London.

14 years of Tory austerity being all a lot of them have ever really known. This during a time of social media algorithms forcing the content of scumbags at them constantly. It's a poisonous brew.Yes, a lot I've seen on Sky are young people just hanging around and watching the 'entertainment', and videoing it for SM, the twats properly haven't any clue of what is actually going on here and how serious it is, then there's the minority kicking off like the complete cunts they are.

Perhaps because it wouldn't be lawfulWhats stopping the police announcing a curfew. I live in Middlesbrough and am scared shitless so why can they just get everybody off home indoors or your being arrested no arguement.
Fash call out at Weymouth at 5pm today will be..... interesting. Portland in particular has a grim vibe to it and some elements from what I hear. Will be full of seaside holiday makers to add to the madness
