    There was always going to be a backlash

    It's fkn disgusting what's happening tonight. Using the tragic death of 3 young girls to push their narrative. Zero respect for the grieving family's of those girls.

    Agree, but society flipped over the past few years to wanting instant gratification and Facebook likes

    Tonight’s behaviour in Southport is disgraceful, it’s what I was adhering to earlier, I was fearful that a switch would flip and we would end up with anarchy on the streets. Unfortunately I think we will see a lot of this kind of reactions if the government don’t get a grip quickly.

    To be fair, this government have been in a 3 week.. These knuckledraggers kicking off were encouraged by the former Home Secretary. I just hope we realise we have to replace community services to an appropriate level. Understandable this close have an emotional response but they need peace to process it all.

    Been busy this evening just caught up on what’s going on. I’m shocked but not surprised, this has been brewing for a while and labelling protesters “far right” for voicing concerns after a tragedy is ridiculous but to then send armed police after letting the Leeds riots go seemingly unchecked with a few riot vehicles less than two weeks ago is disgraceful. They might as well have poured petrol on the fire themselves. Hopefully this is resolved sooner rather than later so the poor parents can mourn their children without this drama.

    Before Musk bought Twitter you couldn’t say anything remotely to the right of centre without being banned. It was one way traffic of Freedom of Speech and now that it’s no holds barred people are finally voicing their opinions that have been brewing for years. I worry for the next decade in this country it feels like any major incident is going to cause chaos.

    BBC reports that the person who did it isn't Muslim.

    And there has just been a suggestion on Sky News that rumours that he was were deliberately spread by Russian bots to foment civil disorder (I mean, that's probably another rumour that should be treated with caution but there you go).

    Hopefully Sir Keir will post a tweet condemning the rioting and knife violence on the streets of Southend for all to see last night, just a day after what happened in Southport.. On second thought, I’ve just realised the rioters aren’t white.

    This is a concerning article from the BBC.
    What particularly worries me is that the authorities believe that, amongst other things "conspiracy theories" and "the toxicity of our political climate" lead to increasing violence. I know this will be unpopular, but our mainstream politicians contribute to that toxicity.
