The main driver of people's frustration lies in the growing inequality of wealth in the UK. For example The top 10% of households hold nearly half of the country's total wealth, while the bottom 10% own only around 0.2% But those at the top of the tree like Farage manage to put the blame on immigrants like me
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My perception is that the main driver of (these) peoples' frustration, is that they are racist.
This is not a protest against rich people, it's a protest against brown people.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That’s in no small part because poor people have been told by very rich people, incessantly, and for two generations, that they’re poor because of immigrants.
Public services and infrastructure are failing because of immigrants.
You don’t have a job because of immigrants.
There’s a housing shortage because of immigrants.
The very same politicians and the billionaires who own 90% of the UK’s print press who have hammered those very messages home for five decades (whilst engineering a housing market which has only served millionaires, whilst selling off public utilities to price gouging capitalists, whilst investing nothing in infrastructure renewal, whilst slashing public sector jobs) will now gasp in mock shock at the horror of the events of the last few days.
“How could this have happened [gasp]!”
They’ll then immediately revert to blaming white-British-on-everybody-else violence directly on ‘liberal’ politicians for ‘open doors immigration policies’.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Regardless of the merits of your assertions or otherwise, there's no excuse for people being racists.
If they're too thick to analyse the situation for themselves, it's probably at least part of the reason why they are racist.
I agree with trying (for their benefit and for everyone's) to integrate people who feel left out, and who feel they aren't being listened to, rather than just casting them out completely and simply showing them the hand, but that doesn't mean that the answer is to tell people we understand it's not your fault you're a racist, it's OK we don't mind. I don't think that is the answer.

But we also need to understand why they are how they are, and work to try to prevent the same thing happening to today’s youth.
People aren’t born racist and xenophobic; they’ve been programmed to hold those beliefs. And we should be going after the people responsible for that programming.

I find it interesting that northern towns and cities are mostly falling victim to this. Places with existing tensions on race and a distrust of the government and 'MSM'. It feels targeted in purpose with the aim of sewing discourse and conflict. Sadly those involved don't have the wherewithal or nous to identify it and act accordingly.

I was in Bolton yesterday and walked past some pubs on bars in town. Was going to a restaurant. No trouble whatsoever. Everyone happy having a good time. My mate who was with me big beard and no one bit an eyelid.
Looks like organised out of town groups causing these disorders.

Nah, seriously. That is next level madness.
The real rioting will start when they realise there's no one to deliver their kebabs.
See those diiiickheads in Sunderland? The bloke has a Naaazi flag tattooed on his back and the bloke filming calls his tattoos ‘pure British’. This is the level of intelligence these people have. I’d find it funny if it wasn’t so depressing.

So true
🤣
These riots are no surprise, when successive governments allow people from all kinds of war torn shietholes and third world cesspits to arrive here illegally.
It`s an invasion and these people are pretty much welcomed here, handed money and free luxury accommodation, and yet British pensioners who have worked hard all their lives and paid into the system for 50 years are entitled to nothing.
Instead their pensions are used to welcome illegal immigrants with no identities, nobody knows who they are or where they have come from, some of whom will be murderers, rapists, other kind of criminals etc.
Some people have had enough. Welcome to Labour Britain.

We can’t do anything about anyone’s parents.
We can go after the legacy and social media oligarchs and dog whistle politicians though.

Lucky Bolton and Rotherham – it seems like it's their turn to be treated to a display of patriotism today
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I was in Bolton yesterday and walked past some pubs on bars in town. Was going to a restaurant. No trouble whatsoever. Everyone happy having a good time. My mate who was with me big beard and no one bit an eyelid.
Looks like organised out of town groups causing these disorders.

The main driver of people's frustration lies in the growing inequality of wealth in the UK. For example The top 10% of households hold nearly half of the country's total wealth, while the bottom 10% own only around 0.2% But those at the top of the tree like Farage manage to put the blame on immigrants like me
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My perception is that the main driver of (these) peoples' frustration, is that they are racist.
This is not a protest against rich people, it's a protest against brown people.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That’s in no small part because poor people have been told by very rich people, incessantly, and for two generations, that they’re poor because of immigrants.
Public services and infrastructure are failing because of immigrants.
You don’t have a job because of immigrants.
There’s a housing shortage because of immigrants.
The very same politicians and the billionaires who own 90% of the UK’s print press who have hammered those very messages home for five decades (whilst engineering a housing market which has only served millionaires, whilst selling off public utilities to price gouging capitalists, whilst investing nothing in infrastructure renewal, whilst slashing public sector jobs) will now gasp in mock shock at the horror of the events of the last few days.
“How could this have happened [gasp]!”
They’ll then immediately revert to blaming white-British-on-everybody-else violence directly on ‘liberal’ politicians for ‘open doors immigration policies’.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Regardless of the merits of your assertions or otherwise, there's no excuse for people being racists.
If they're too thick to analyse the situation for themselves, it's probably at least part of the reason why they are racist.
I agree with trying (for their benefit and for everyone's) to integrate people who feel left out, and who feel they aren't being listened to, rather than just casting them out completely and simply showing them the hand, but that doesn't mean that the answer is to tell people we understand it's not your fault you're a racist, it's OK we don't mind. I don't think that is the answer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Obviously not.
But we also need to understand why they are how they are, and work to try to prevent the same thing happening to today’s youth.
People aren’t born racist and xenophobic; they’ve been programmed to hold those beliefs. And we should be going after the people responsible for that programming.

Their parents... Newspaper owners.... Social media platform owners

People who lecture everyone on the assumption that they know best and everyone else has trouble understanding things etc etc.

See those diiiickheads in Sunderland? The bloke has a Naaazi flag tattooed on his back and the bloke filming calls his tattoos ‘pure British’. This is the level of intelligence these people have. I’d find it funny if it wasn’t so depressing.

What if some of these car owners don't own a dashcam and have had their cars ruined by people rioting. Will they still be able to claim through their insurance without any evidence?

These riots are no surprise, when successive governments allow people from all kinds of war torn shietholes and third world cesspits to arrive here illegally.
It`s an invasion and these people are pretty much welcomed here, handed money and free luxury accommodation, and yet British pensioners who have worked hard all their lives and paid into the system for 50 years are entitled to nothing.
Instead their pensions are used to welcome illegal immigrants with no identities, nobody knows who they are or where they have come from, some of whom will be murderers, rapists, other kind of criminals etc.
Some people have had enough. Welcome to Labour Britain.
