Far-right response to Southport Outrage And Ongoing Violent Disorder

[Mr.Bishie]

I disagree with planetgeli, those targets are out there and if people act on them, and the action suggests smashing and burning, then they will. The fact the list is so wide spread means it's"real,". .... It's decentred action and people may well act on one or more of these.

Same. Will deffo be out in Brighton tomorrow, just in case.

I had a go at people on FB sharing fucking 'Greggs/steak bake' classist 'jokes'. Fucks me right off does that.

Yes, some of the stuff I'm seeing isn't anti-fascist, it's anti working class. It is othering the poor and the deprived and it's sneering at the poorest communities. It needs to stop and it needs calling out, so good on you.

Yeah, this is one of the reasons had to bail on one of the Irish antifascist groups on FB, it was very sneery and instead of solidarity just fucking "jokes" about appearances, education, clothing and differing accents.

Several remandings in custody in Hartlepool / referring upwards to Crown Court for people alleged to have been involved last week.

Police still actively pursuing several people involved including the twat that punched a young Asian guy as his mates laughed and shouted racist abuse.

Well said, and a useful counter to the casual classism displayed by a few posters/ memes shared in this thread.

We may despise the racism and hated of their chosen political beliefs, but the rioters do predominantly look like members of our class that have suffered multiple deprivations including health and education.

Exactly. They could look like Jennifer Aniston or Orlando Bloom and they'd still be shitty people.

Americans making oh-so-hilarious woyjak memes about how the rioters just don't want their kids to get stabbed can fuck off and die tbh. Didn't one of you say some of the fash had brought knives?

It's gone mental in Belfast last night. From the Graun:

People stamped on a man’s head in an attack that police are treating as a hate crime during another night of rioting in Belfast in Northern Ireland.

Members of the public attempted to shield the man, who is in his 50s, during the disturbances in the Donegall Road and Oban Street area on Monday night, police said.

He has been hospitalised. “His condition is described as serious and we are treating his attack as a hate crime,” said the statement.

The crowd, several dozen-strong, threw bricks and petrol bombs, set a police Land Rover alight and attempted to burn the remains of a supermarket that had been torched during a riot on Saturday. It is owned by an immigrant. “Officers were able to douse this small fire before it developed,” said the statement.

Police said they fired two Attenuating Energy Projectiles (AEPs), striking a rioter on the hand, and arrested a 15-year-old boy on suspicion of riotous behaviour.

Cheers, both.

And finally, among the variants, an explanation for the term "soy boy".

Tragic.

NVM. Wrong thread.

Any idea why the charges mainly seem to be violent disorder not rioting when the difference seems to be mainly the number of people present and there seems to have been at least the requisite twelve for rioting?

i think it's to do with liability around riot compensation - namely, the authorities do not want to pay

 

[two sheds]

I wondered whether it's also to do with peoples' insurance if something's trashed - sometimes there are clauses excluding riot from claims?

Lord Davies sorry for suggesting riots 'politically justified'

Shadow Welsh Secretary says sorry for suggesting Labour's blocking of Rwanda Bill justifies UK riots.

www.bbc.co.uk

The shadow Welsh secretary has apologised after suggesting the escalating violence across parts of England is "politically justified".

Lord Byron Davies of Gower issued an apology insisting he "utterly condemns" the violence but stands by his criticism of Labour's "totally negative" approach to immigration and organised crime.

The comments were made in response to a social media post by journalist Dan Hodges, external, who condemned the attacks as having "no political justification" and any blame on the Labour party to be "ridiculous".

Lord Davies has since been reprimanded by his chief whip and reminded of the consequences of language misuse, according to the Conservatives.

Some silly rumours and disinformation going around local organising chats.

Be aware: We've received information that undercover cops are wearing Superdry clothing at protests due to a clothing provider deal with the Met Police. Stay vigilant and spread the word.

Wonder if our resident cops have managed to claim their discounts yet?

i've seen some excellently disguised undercover cops - one in particular stands out in my memory, from when there was an orange march in london about 17 years ago. he was wearing a nondescript baseball cap, string vest and shorts and it was only when we were stopped and searched that his being a policeman was revealed.

Worst I witnessed, was a bunch of clean cut lads in Ireland jerseys infiltrate the crowd at a Spiral Tribe rave back in the 90s in the Dublin mountains.

A lot of whistles started blowing at them

 

[Pickman's model]

it's amazing that courts could sit through the night to ensure swift sentences for rioters yet many people who have been the subject of vicious and despicable attacks outside the ambit of public disturbances can wait years for their assailant to appear in court

I apologise to Epona for this post, I am just so angry about this whole situation, and how Musk is directly using one of the most powerful SM sites to fuel it, but I see there a separate thread on the subject now, something I was intending to start myself this morning, so thanks to YouSir for getting there first.

Musk is a despicable piece of shit. His "civil war is inevitable" comment was just appalling.

The poll tax riot wasn't a riot because if it had been it would have put the police on the hook for the damage
