    Where have I said that?

    I have never slated the government for locking violent people or rioters up. I just pointed out that they only react when it is right wing protests and leave left wing protests alone.

    Of course people that are burning hotels down should be jailed. Of course people that genuinely incite violence should be jailed. But they should also be going after the knife wielding Islamists running the streets of Birmingham.

    Were you complaining about two tier policing when offenders were receiving hefty sentences after the 2011 riots (When the the rioters were mostly black, and the public prosecutor was Keir Starmer)?

    No. I was complaining about how politicians were bending the knee and complicit with the riots.

    My views are pretty consistent tbh. Be tougher on crime. Ignore race/religion and consistently prosecute and tackle bad behaviour.

    Instead they mostly ignored the troublemakers during BLM and pro-Palestine marches whilst bringing the hammer down on the recent right wing protests.

    Do you think Farage, and some ministers from the previous government, were complicit in the recent riots?

    If I cleared my ignore, I expect to read that its was a plant by the government to push their agenda....

    It's the future! it honestly makes this thread in particular all the more enjoyable. You don't have to listen to BS and you can see others getting wound up, but you don't know why :)

    I don’t see how Farage can be blamed at all

    I blame mostly the conservatives for ****ing the country up over the last 14 years, with a sprinkling of Blair for opening the borders and Starmer for pouring gasoline on the fire.

    Again, to be clear: the protestors have real legitimate concerns. Don’t let the few bad apples that rioted drown out the real concerns of the many peaceful people who feel similarly.

    The current government is trying to gaslight everyone into thinking the protests were far right thugs. But there are many millions who feel the same but aren’t thugs or far right.

    Did the many millions riot? Because unless they smashed **** up and set light to mosques, the government haven’t said jack **** about them.

    I would just like to take a moment to say a quick **** you to the Stop The War Coalition, always standing ready to lick Putin's boots.

    You are wilfully ignorant at this point as I’m fairly sure you can’t be this dumb.

    Starmer has wound up half the country by labelling everyone far right.

    More people voted for Brexit than voted for labour.

    So I think it’s fairly certain they do

    Fareham? Andover? Havant? I recommend Liverpool. It has its downside but it has fantastic architecture, a thriving cultural scene, miles and miles of green spaces and close access to some of the lovelist parts of the UK - Snowdonia, the Peak District and the Lake District.

    Time for another referendum with a PM who would promote the advantages of the EU, something that Cameron couldn't be bothered about when he was PM. For me this has to have top priority.
