The fascists are showing their true face – violent thugs
I wouldn’t worry… It’s not someone protesting climate. They won’t get 5 years for arson / or causing bodily harm to police officers. A slap on the wrist for them…. If that
There are also [reports](https://x.com/bethanyusher/status/1819454579869970867) (unverified) that rioters are targeting cars with Asian drivers in Sunderland. This is getting insane. I genuinely fear for the safety of minorities, especially South Asian people, and their properties for the next few days.

Maybe, at some point soon, Britain will remember that, traditionally, *not liking fascists* is one of those “British Values” these clowns are always on about.
The only thing the rest of us can realistically do right now if not in our towns/cities is to actively call out any of the racism and fascism we hear.
About time we brought the army in and dealt with them firmly
They really need to make these kind of far right race riots into a specific offense with harsher sentencing guidelines than normal public order offenses.
These are the type of people who would complain about the BLM protests and how they “burned their cities to the ground”
These ‘concerned citizens’ are merely conveying their message via smoke signal. It’s all quite innocent.
What the actual fuck is happening now? Jesus Christ
Is anyone really surprised when the government has said the prisons are full? There’s no consequence for this shit
‘I’m so concerned about children’s safety I set the police station on fire’ – make it make sense…
