Was it that different fundamentally? They were just discussing this on Sky and said if it keeps going through the week the army might be a serious consideration.

The situation at the weekend was verified by multiple news sources and the police. I know you think you’re being consistent but it’s apples and oranges. Again, I’m sure most of the videos are real and there are Muslim gangs about but when they’re mainly coming from weird accounts people are...

The army mainly kids with no riot training.

No they generally play both sides and try and rile things up it in this case some of the videos are from suspect accounts. It’s fair to question that. Im sure some of the videos are genuine but in these situations it often turns out some are old videos from different events.

I guarantee we don’t. There will be some reserves somewhere I’m sure but as someone said only really been done in NI.

No, sure some of it is true. But some of the accounts shared are clearly bots/propaganda accounts. Videos over the weekend were from multiple sources, on BBC etc. it’s fair to judge things differently. I’m sure there are some Muslim groups going around too.

I’m not sure the army are set up for this and if they were brought in would only be backup for the police and follow same tactics.

I wouldn’t say it’s random I’ll expect it’s coordinated from somewhere. Russia, China, erc have been I citing stuff in other countries for years.

Not that I’m aware of just rumours online the EDL were coming? The Plymouth one has been on BBC all day and seems to have been announced.

It’s a planned protest and counter protest talked about all day and was planned for. The kid has probably been caught in the open after attacker the police or something.

Horrific.

Oh shit

They also take route of least intervention and escalation these days and for a number of good reasons. Arguably turn it up a notch for climate protesters considering how peaceful they were.

Tbf to you Nick you did *condem* it all. If it helps I condone any Muslim agitators and hope they are caught too. I just think it’s daft to read much into a few short video clips. Anyway the situation seems like it might be out of control and I fear someone will be killed. I hope the police...

It also means conveniently forgetting the history of the police and racism. Hardly known as a left wing organisation although more diverse these days.

I hope it’s just a tiny group

Hopefully there is a proper inquiry into this including social media agitators and bots etc.

Much more likely than two tier policing

No, hence I’ve seen the videos of the trouble over the weekend and the police only intervening when they’ve been attacked.

Yes they’re all drafted in and they were unable to stop what happened over the weekend still.
