How many were actually showing intent and capability to burn a building?

There’s a video of at least part of the arson attempt in the report. Good goalpost moving though.

I forgot you don’t believe in polls. It was YouGov, people slightly more supportive of the riots than 2011, but still massively against.

So people who signed up to do a poll. It's not all of the public.

Also you're merging rioters with protesters aren't you?

Im saying all the people who go out for the day to get pissed and wave an England flag about in the name of not liking foreigners are of a piece and are nothing like the majority in this country, yeah.

I spent the first 18 months trying to sort out my Dads care with the local C&W NHS before it was decided we needed ICBs, whose main role seemed to be withdrawing funding from as many people as possible.

The process with them was ongoing until I received a letter saying there's going to be another reorganisation, under Starmers instruction, and at some unspecified point in the future I will be contacted by this new entity to continue the appeals process. In the meantime I'm paying out 4 figures a month that I can't afford.

'No one was actually burnt alive so it's fine'

Hot take #8728764392 from the resident contrarian

People sitting with placards saying stop genocide and some with Palestine Action on - lock them up.

Try to set fire to a building with people in - fine cos no-one actually got burnt alive.

Just to throw a grenade, both direct action with no violence? Either both should be allowed or neither.
