The rioters are to blame no two ways about it and they will be getting monitored. I’m just too cynical to trust anything online or events in the real world these days to not see some form of machiavellian underhand going on.It's a possibility mate but I just don't buy it myself tbh.
Police officers and others could've easily died, in Sunderland, and there didn't look to be much cracking down.
The blame is all on the rioters and, in my opinion, bringing in the first dispersal order would've been called an infringement of people's basic civil liberties. Allowing Palestinians to protest, then denying white people the same opportunity, would be the absolute definition of two-tier policing.
Until it became a riot it could've just been a peaceful protest ...
... only the rioters were responsible for that.
I also don't believe these far right people are being constantly monitored. They're usually just mouthing off on the internet and don't often show their faces, it's not like they're the IRA or whatever. And, as far as Newcastle is concerned, they didn't need a dispersal order, there was no one to disperse. By that time the threat of being locked up had put them back in their box imo.
Personally I think the government are just as concerned about uncontrolled immigration as we all are ...
... it's the means to control it that's the problem, every thing the Tories tried just kept making it worse.
