All kicking off in Bolton….

and Rotherham

Rotherham was 8 pages of "kicking off" back. Please keep up with the kicking offs.

Lol, too much "kicking off" to keep track of

[sniffer66]

I'm quite liberal minded but my head is asking if it's time to bring in water cannon and rubber bullets

There will be a Russia angle to this I am certain, China too.

What about those tranquiliser darts that are used to knock out loose animals?

Police in Rotherham cornered while rioters make their way into the hotel.

Section 60AA order requires people to remove face coverings.

WTF ? - Is that some sort of joke….You can’t tell people what to wear or not to wear. Sounds a bit like North Korea for fuck sake.

It’s all kicking off in a pub….

I'm watching Sky News in disbelief. Why aren't the army called in?

How long are thousands of police going to be standing their ground and how many houses are being burgled right now?

It’s now kicking off in Weymouth…

True story. I had no idea migrants were being housed at a hotel near me until I came home one day and found them and their families having a picnic in my garden and posing next to my car. I went to the hotel to found out who was in charge to ask them to them to tell them to respect the local neighbourhood.

The hotel had set up a GP surgery just for them and a bus service to take them in and out of town when they wished.

I can see why people get upset.

You know you have made it when people picnic on your land and take photos of your motor.

In case anyone didn't know, Starmer was director of public prosecutions, and his dad was a tool maker.

Calling the Army in would be a last resort as it would indicate the Police can’t cope with civil disobedience. No government wants to admit that and I doubt the Police would either.

Also, 1/3 of UK troops are overseas at all times, another 1/3 are held back in reserve if the unthinkable happens. That leaves around 26,000 available minus those on leave or sick. That doesn’t leave many to deploy around the country in all the hotspots plus others that might pop up etc.

Nasty looking scenes coming out Middlesbrough . Muslin on the attack.

The police can't cope. They're on the retreat, unable to protect the hotel and rioters have got in. They even tried to set it on fire with people in the building.
