Didn't we used to simply call these race riots?

If the government doesn't come down hard on this and ditch any both-sidesing crap, they will have lost any last shred of moral authority. Once upon a time there was someone called Keir Starmer who was Director of Public Prosecutions who did the right thing. Nowadays all too often he seems to be more concerned about polling.

These people have no voice and the only way they can vent their frustration is via violence as they don’t have the education or vocabulary to do it any other way.
That’s just a polite way of saying that they are stupid.
What exactly do they think will be achieved?

The Southport riots were very efficiently snuffed out by emergency measures brought in by a very rookie Labour government in July 2024. That was only 2 years ago but they already need to rediscover themselves

They are being influenced by outside agitators. Punch and Judy are always beating each other up, but you never see the puppet master behind the screen.

Riots always take place in poor areas. It’s not a problem if you have very little to lose in the first place. These people have no voice and the only way they can vent their frustration is via violence as they don’t have the education or vocabulary to do it any other way.
Whilst I agree I'm not sure "they have no voice". I wonder if they have a more voice than I do. I write to my MP (and get ignored), I vote in elections. They have the same available.

I wonder which one of the rioters will be invited to speak at the next Reform party conference . . .
Or if Faråge will be aping his hero and demanding a vast compensation fund from the Government for those forced to spend their time attacking innocent local residents and destroying their property.

This is what I really can't understand about *anoyone* who's reasonable still using X.

I've been a broken record on this for three years and I'll be a broken record for as long as that fucking website exists: X is a viciously racist far-right organising platform that ONLY WORKS because a huge number of centrists, lefties and progressives cannot stop propping it up

Absolutely done with any and all of the excuses. If you have a genuine, real and material reason to be on that site then **your job is to stop that being a reason**, not to just passively succumb to it and do nothing at all because otherwise: YOU JUST PROLONG THE HARM IT CAUSES

'There are voices from Palestine there but not elsewhere' Fine: help them get off the white nationalist website 'Global south communities are huge there' Fine: help them get off the white nationalist website 'Political influencers are there' Fine: help them get off the white nationalist website

THERE IS NOTHING TECHNOLOGICALLY UNIQUE ABOUT X. It is a website where you post short sentences with images, videos and hyperlinks attached. IT IS NOT MAGICAL AND SPECIAL, YOU CAN DO THAT IN FOURTEEN FUCKING MILLION OTHER PLACES.

I'm screaming into the void here: anyone still wedded to doing volunteer labor for Elon Musk on a website that literally runs on a fossil-fuelled data centre choking a community Memphis that also includes child abuse material as a DESIGNED FEATURE - they cannot be reached. They're done. They're gone. But god, just let me scream, I need it

Nigel Farage to headline Liz Truss’s UK CPAC conference after apparent snub
Nigel Farage will be headlining at an American conservative summit brought to the UK by Liz Truss next month alongside hard-right speakers, despite his party previously suggesting he would be “steering clear”.

The Reform UK leader has announced he will speak in July at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which claims it wants to “save Britain, save the west”.

He will be one of the main speakers at the event
...
Article sort of speaks for itself.

Difficult to see how Färage attending will further his work with Reform but I can see how it will help his personal standing with the US MAGA/CPAC/Far-right groups but even that only in a small way as they probably won't be paying much attention to a small event in the UK.
