All in the name of getting in ‘Do not appeal to “root causes”…’
They don’t want people deep-diving a) why working class communities are full of angry, forlorn and desperate people, or b) why that anger and negativity is being directed at black and brown people.
Seems like the so called riots have flopped tonight, massively outnumbered by the counter protestors
Was expecting lots of sirens by my area but barely heard a peep
RIP Legend!

Sorry, just had to tell someone
10 years doesn’t actually seem long enough tbh.

Facking horrific piece of sheite, hope he gets ripped a new one in the jail
I hope Australian animal lovers deal him a brutal dose of street justice.

Succulent Chinese meals for all tonight
There’s a dog joke in there somewhere
Too soon?
He tried to keep it hush hush-puppy
Good to see the far right cowered from the lentil eating, sandal wearing, tofu eating wokie majority last night.
N*zi s*um off our streets!

Were there any arrests?

Arrests were made but from what I've read it's unclear about from which "side".
Again from whatever read it was single digit arrest numbers.

How do you.... wait, what?!
Mike Barton, former Chief Constable of Durham Police said the public response to the anti-immigration riots has been "inspirational".
He tells BBC Breakfast the police face an unprecedented threat from those encouraging unrest online - but "last night was a raging success because the police and the public worked together".
He adds: "The great British public showed themselves that policing isn't about the police, good order in society isn't about imposing it with an iron fist and a jackboot, it's about the community saying we want to live peacefully and we're gonna do something about it.
"I think it was inspirational overnight."
Met Police Commissioner Mark Rowley, who sent thousands of officers to spots around the north of England yesterday said he's "pleased" with how it went.
“We put thousands of officers on the street and I think the show of force from the police and frankly the show of unity from communities, together defeated the challenges that we’ve seen," he says.
“It went off very peacefully last night. A couple of locations we had some local criminals turn out and try and create a bit of anti-social behaviour and we arrested a few of them.
“But it was a very successful night and the fears of extreme-right disorder were abated. A successful operation thanks to communities and police.”
The Conservative police and crime commissioner for Sussex says the rally in Brighton last night was people "there to show their solidarity" against the recent wave of far-right protests.
"There were bands playing and flags waving and signs saying things like 'you can't spell community without unity' and 'no hate here' and of course 'don't hate, gyrate', which is very Brighton," Katy Bourne told BBC Radio 4's World Tonight programme last night.
"From what I could see there were probably a handful, I mean literally four or five who perhaps didn't share the same views, they were well outnumbered.
"It was very encouraging to see that strength and that solidarity."
Sir Mark Rowley, the head of the Metropolitan Police, spoke to us earlier, saying 70% of the people arrested over violent anti-immigrant protests already have criminal records.

Just normal everyday concerned citizens
I heard Andrew Taint "made a video" in response to FarageRiot throwing him under the bus. Seems to me that they're all a bit agitated somehow.
Not seen it. Don't want to give it any monetised clicks.
There aren’t “two sides” to this.
There are angry, hate-fuelled, violent, white supremacist thugs who have attacked police and fire officers, threatened health workers, beaten random black and brown people, smashed up community facilities and businesses, and tried to burn hotels down.
And there is everybody else. Communities who have stood up to the fascists, peacefully but steadfastly, and counter-demonstrated, helped clean up the streets, helped rebuild the wall at Southport mosque. Proper patriots, who understand that community strength and togetherness are as British values as fascism and violence are anti-British.
