Jeez Louise! I have always avoided the Brits when on holiday (I am British) and all of this has reminded me why. Get a pint of beer, an English flag, and some sun on them and they morph into brainless idiots! Remind me why we are frightened of “them”, looks to me like we have enough issues of our own! 😂

I've just been reading the Wikipedia article about the 2011 riots. If it's anything like that this time, we've got a way to go. As I recall there was little that could be done to stop the rioting. It just petered out. We need it to start raining.

Yeah the weather isn’t helping (for once). Riots generally happen during the summer when it’s warm and dry.

Whose video caption were you quoting?
Sorry hadn’t realised I hadn’t posted the vid but have seen this one and a few others but this doesn’t appear to be a good thing. I couldn’t give a duck if there is a wiki definition of things but last thing we need is rival gangs out beating the tit out of each other.

Where there are fascists there will be anti-fascists, that's kind of the point of them.

indeed. He is the PM, I don’t mind the fact he clocks off on Friday to have dinner with his wife and family but these are quite exceptional circumstances and leadership is required.

I don’t expect that Boris would have come back either but I just expected more from Starmer.
Is he definitely on holiday? I've read several reports today saying he hasn't gone and isn't planning to go on holiday and will be at his office in London this week as expected.

It's hard to know what to believe sometimes. If he has gone away - what the hell?!

Edited to add: caught up now and I see this has already been fully discussed, sorry!

They're live streaming a protest on sky news with commentary. It feels so bizarre. There's nothing really happening - all just standing around - but I find the live streaming with commentary so strange.

Keir is addressing the nation now

The Prime Minister is speaking Live on BBC news just now.
I don't think that speech is going to calm anything down but I suppose the rioters aren't going to listen to Keir anyway.

I can't believe I'm watching people throw stones and sticks at riot police live on Sky News. The police are backing away from the protestors now. It must be so scary for them and their families.
