That's an awful lot of very angry people.

Not all racists I'm sure.

It would be a good idea for the Establishment to attempt to listen to them before it's too late.

erm no Anna thats the none angry people come out in solidarity against the angry ones, the angry ones are inside the yellow police cordon LOL

funny you should say that, just watched the police boss thanking communities for coming out peacefully last night and he said theyve arrested about 20 rioters and most of them have criminal backgrounds with Criminal damage, violence, weapons charges and football banning orders on their records already

yup, i said it all along

 

ive also seen long footage of the lad in blue shorts with the looted tray of sausage rolls trying to smash the window on Greggs and almost every person in that footage is under 30, probably no political thought in their heads, theyre just out for a laugh, some excitement, smash stuff.

 

Same with the footage ive seen from the rioters who attacked the punks in Blackpool, what i could see they were all young uns, again probably not a political thought in their heads.

Apparently the false story may have started on this single website called Channel3Now also posted on X which then got shared and shared

I believe it may pre-date that slightly.
There's various analysis by several misinformation specialists who suggest it points back to a UK individual names on various media.
She tried to post an explanation why the allegation was wrong, which was in itself de-bunked.
Have a read of various threads by this chap, who has also been commenting on the accounts promoted by Elon Musk.

Might be worth going back a few pages to the early hours of this morning where I added a couple of posts about middle age radicalisation for discussion, then again it might not 🙂

yeah im not really going through all the crap that i imagines been posted, im not interested in the bilge that gets posted on here generally thats why i havent been on / posting cos i know exactly whats probably been happening.

instead im just posting bits that i find interesting on the subject and leaving everybody else to do the arguing.

You're pretty close there to my own feelings, though I have been trying to counter some of that misinformation posted previously.
I think I'm giving up, as so many folk seem to try an push a divisive narrative, rather than one of trying to unite people.
This was one of the posts I was referring to, re the number of older people who have been filmed or sentenced.
The woman who is alleged to have started the false name rumour is in her 50's; if forensic digital analysis does show her to be the origin, I hope she gets a police visit.
