      The problem with UK police is they have no water cannon and so they (and police dogs) are in a very vulnerable position when they take the mob on.

      Government need to back the police by giving them the equipment that they need and like all defence equipment we keep it and feel better for not using it.

      Sadiq Khan was point scoring when he got rid of them.

      Genuinely quite concerning the CyberTrolls are now out in force to act like the perpetrators of mass civil violence across the whole country resulting in dozens of police injuries and multiple innocent bystanders seriously injured are the real victims here.

      Safe? Blackpool main road is blocked off half of Liverpool is on fire, the rioters are winning

      Unfortunately, this will lead to British police having more power against civilians, even if they’re peacefully protesting. Do the far-right protestors know they’re fighting for fewer rights?

      >”The police have the government’s “full support” to take action against “extremists” attempting to “sow hate”, the prime minister has said, following unrest in several cities across the UK.”

      How, Kier?

      What does this support look like?

      Are you going to legally lesson the threshold at which force can be used? Are you going to give the police money for police support units to immediately buy equipment for large scale violent disorder? Are you going to allow the use of water cannons / tear gas / pepperballs / AEP?

      Or is it just a boilerplate message which means nothing?

      They’re attacking mosques, they’re looting and burning local businesses.  Every video of a riot is just groups of pissed up men wrapped in Union Jack’s or George Crosses.  We can all see clearly what type of people these are.

      Starmer supports Israel and their genocide I doubt he’s very much concerned about far right thugs attacking Muslims beyond maintaining the illusion of order and control.

      If this is to be done properly, “Tommy” Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon “Robinson”, absolutely needs to be chucked in a cell for life should his cowardly arse ever step foot off a plane and onto British soil again, and the same with any of the “big names” that’ve been stirring the pot over the past month. Prescribe the perpetrating groups as terrorist organisations while you’re at it Kier, put your foot down, otherwise this will simply keep happening.

      What police? They were defunded. What’s left told the government they won’t intervene at risk of being prosecuted and shamed in the media.

      I hope this applies to all sides. I’ve been seeing clips of groups of muslim anti-racism protesters wielding weapons and attacking any non-muslims in the streets (people not even part of the protests). This – of course – is getting brushed under the rug and the police don’t seem to be doing their job.

      In before anyone jumps on me for links, search around online and you’ll see. I’ll probably have my comment deleted since no-one seems to like looking at the big picture.

      Yes keep doubling down with the two tier policing, that’ll calm everyone down.

      Not very surprising that our politicians and many on this sub have shown more outrage over the protests than the stabbing of children.

      I just watched a video of a gang of these racist cunts mob a guy walking through the park because he was black. The cops had to swarm and form a barrier to keep them from beating his skull in. It’s disgusting and they need to be thrown in a cell for life. This shit needs to be dealt with harshly to put some fear of God in them.

      If they were kept safe from extremists in the first place citizens would not be protesting the murder of children by immigrants.

      These facists need locking up for a long time. There have been numerous racially motivated attacks on minorities such as [this](https://twitter.com/PolitlcsUK/status/1819813213749338587) and [this.](https://twitter.com/bmay/status/1819765667073056893) Attacks on Mosques, the looting of shops (with many targeted at those owned by minorities), sacking and burning of cars, buildings and even police offices and the chanting of far right slogans and slurs. How long untilll some one is killed by one of these pogroms? The people saying “they have legitimate concerns” can fuck off, this is clearly racial hatred that they try to hide behind a mask of being anti migration
