I just hope that people from other countries understand that these riots are being caused by a tiny minority of the population (absolute morons) who do not represent the good decent people of the UK (England in particular)

I'm in Scotland ATM and it's largely peaceful here and I just hope it stays this way

Horrifying. That's all can I say about these riots. I hope my loved ones stay safe. And everyone for that matter. The fact that racists have used this tragic event as an excuse to riot in the streets is abhorrent.

I'm literally praying for some really bad weather

A bit of rain and they'll be like rats running for cover and by the time the rains off they won't even remember what they've done or the supposed reason for doing it

Absolutely f*****g arse clowns

A lot of these people seem very, very confused as to whether they're patriotic Brits or loyal servants of the Third Reich. If this goes on much longer there's a good chance they'll be up against the Army. Serve 'em ****ing right.

You're advocating mob rule.


No I don't. Having open and transparent news does not give green light to "mob justice". Yes I understand how reporting this young adult's (he is now 18) profile has given racists in the UK ammunition but did it occur to you that these rather deplorable people weren't born yesterday and just decided to take this incident to shape their values and beliefs. the payoff for 400 (perhaps 500) years of brainwashing. they were always looking for a reason to riot.

What would you suggest - copies of the intelligence agencies' reports, psychiatrists' reports and whatnot are made public?

Providing a name and a usually very scant background serves no useful purpose - or perhaps you can demonstrate how the meagre details provided thus far have reassured anyone?


You know very well that psychiatrist reports are protected by confidentiality so no that one. How about prior history?, did he commit crime before as a youth offender?, how did the criminal justice system deal with his case? Is he part of a gang? do they pose a threat?
Simple questions that relate to everyone's personal safety.

UK riots live: Tamworth and Rotherham migrant hotels torched by far-right as Starmer sends warning

Quote:
Rioters cheer as Tamworth hotel set on fire
Shocking footage has shown far-right rioters cheering as they set fire to a Holiday Inn housing refugees in Tamworth.

It is the second hotel that has been targeted by violent mobs today alone. Tamworth Police have urged the public to avoid the area.


Police officer injured outside Tamworth hotel
A police officer has been injured outside a hotel in Tamworth as officers continue to deal with “violent acts of thuggery”, Staffordshire Police said.

A large group of individuals is in the area with people throwing projectiles, smashing windows, starting fires and targeting police.

“We’re urging members of the public to avoid the area around the Holiday Inn, Tamworth, as specialist officers continue to deal with violent acts of thuggery,” the force said.


Street beatings, stabbing and mosques under siege: the horrifying racist attacks carried out by far-right mobs
Quote:
A Black man beaten by a mob, an Asian man stabbed at a train station and mosques under siege - just some of the horrifying racist incidents carried out by far-right thugs in England this week.

The country has been engulfed by racist riots over the past few days, in the wake of the killings of three young girls in Southport on Monday.

Riots in cities including Liverpool, Leeds and Belfast descended into chaos over the weekend, with far-right thugs clashing with riot police and multiple incidents of ethnic minorities attacked on the streets.

False claims had spread online that the Southport suspect, later identified as 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana from Lancashire, was a Muslim asylum seeker who had arrived in the UK by boat.

Sparked by Islamophobic and racist sentiments, rioters have pelted bricks, chairs and bottles at officers, mosques have been attacked, shops looted and numerous community facilities across the country, including a library and Citizens Advice Bureau building, have been torched in the violence.

Hotel housing asylum seekers sieged by far right in Rotherham
A far-right mob set fire to a hotel in Rotherham used to house migrants as more violence blighted the UK on Sunday.

Masked rioters, some draped in England flags, assembled outside a Holiday Express hotel in Manvers, South Yorkshire, as they clashed with police.

Some were heard chanting anti-Muslim campaigner and founder of the far right English Defence League Tommy Robinson’s name.

In a televised address to the nation, the Prime Minister condemned the attack and promised those involved in the widespread unrest would “face the full force of the law”.

Black man attacked by white gang in Manchester before police protect him
Shocking footage shared on social media on Saturday showed a Black man attacked by a large group of white men in a Manchester park.

The incident, captured on video and widely shared on X/Twitter, shows the man being assaulted by a mob in Piccadilly Gardens. One is seen wrapped in an England flag and another wears mask. The victim is knocked to the ground and kicked while the masked man throws a metal fence towards him. He is initially surrounded by more than half a dozen assailants before a huge crowd builds up.

Police intervene and while an officer initially appears to pin the Black man to the ground a dozen officers form a circle around him to prevent the mob from reaching him. The Independent has approached Greater Manchester Police for comment and a spokesperson confirmed that they are aware of the matter.

In a separate incident in the same city, three Muslim girls were allegedly spat at and subjected to attempts to rip their hijabs off.

“My dad has had to take 3 Muslim girls home from the protest in Manchester because scum c*** were spitting in their face and trying to rip their scarves off!! !! !! ! You lot are horrible racist scum,” one X/Twitter user wrote.

Muslim man stabbed at train station Liverpool
A man, believed to be Muslim, was stabbed at Blundellsands & Crosby train station in Liverpool on Friday afternoon, hours before a far-right riot took place at the Abdullah Quilliam Mosque mosque nearby.

Megan Rimmer, 36, told Metro she witnessed the incident, which is being investigated by the British Transport Police and Merseyside Police.

An Islamic stall offering free Qurans was also attacked in Liverpool city centre on Saturday.

Footage shared on social media showed a yelling mob running into the stand before flipping it over as a man shouted encouragement. Merseyside Police has been approached for comment.

Taxi driver attacked in Hull
Footage shared online appeared to show violent far-right rioters dragging an Asian man out of his car in Hull, while racially abusing him by repeatedly yelling “P**i”, and damaging the vehicle. The man is believed to be a taxi driver.

During the clip, a man can be heard saying “come on lads, let’s smash it up”, while the person who streamed the video on TikTok says: “Someone is going to get hurt here” and “there are foreigners in the car”.

Southport Police has been approached for comment. Other taxi drivers within the area have been reportedly forced out of work due to safety fears.

BBC presenter Monika Plaha wrote on X/Twitter today: “Asian taxi drivers in Hull also racially targeted. Some were forced out of work on their busiest day of the week due to the abuse and vandalism. They stand defiant. One said today he will go out, he’s not scared & racism doesn’t win but has little faith the situation will improve”.

Black man attack in Bristol as locals protect migrant hotel
A Black man was attacked in the street in Bristol in shocking footage shared on Twitter on Saturday. Police in riot gear rushed to the scene with batons as the man was forced to defend himself.

Also in Bristol on Saturday, members of the local community prevented a group of rioters from gaining access to a hotel reported to house migrants.

The community formed a human shield around the building’s entrance, in pictures shared on social media.

Swastika tattoo in Sunderland
A man with a swastika tattoo was filmed among crowds of far-right rioters during a night of rioting in Sunderland on Friday.

In footage shared to X, the man can be heard declaring: “English, mate, I am” in response to a person filming the video, who compliments him on his “awesome” and “pure British” tattoos.

Another clip shared online appeared to show a group of Black passengers hiding on a bus, also in Sunderland, to avoid an angry hooded mob outside.

And the Mirror reported that Sunderland rioters threw rocks at Filipino NHS nurses who were on their way to work as the chaos unfolded.

Mosque sieged by rioters in Southport
A man, who appears to be of ethnic minority heritage, was punched in the face while walking in Hartlepool, Southport on Wednesday in footage published by The Sun.

Cleveland Police told The Independent that it is aware of the incident and the force released an image of a man who officers want to speak with about the attack.

On the same day, Southport mosque was besieged by rioters, forcing worshippers inside to hide in fear for their safety.

Following this, hundreds of mosques had to ramp up their protective measures ahead of more rioting across the country, according to the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB).

Fascist stickers with razor blades in Kent
Dangerous ‘National Front’ stickers were discovered at a train station in Dunton Green, Kent, that, once removed, have razor blades stuck to them.

“Please take extreme care and do not attempt to remove them,” RMT Union warned on Friday in an X/Twitter post.

The stickers say ‘National Front’ and ‘rights for whites’.

The matter was flagged with the British Transport Police who confirmed that this is a “known tactic used by some extreme groups”.

I can't judge England based on their as*holes.

Canada's most vocal chuds are cheering the English chuds on in the comment section of every news report on the riots so clearly we're no better.

The headline is referencing rioters stabbing people not the mass stabbing that is being used as a casus belli.

I've said for years there are sleeper cells of far right groups waiting for a call to arms. It looks like they were activated for a false alarm. there was misinformation spread early on social media the killer was a radical muslim. the thugs involved didn't wait for any confirmation, they were already looking for an excuse. Any excuse really.

I hope so, I don't fancy a Farage led Reform UK government much. Starmer needs to get a grip on legal and illegal immigration and fast. There's no point building more houses/flats if you've got net immigration of 700,000 per year.

This has literally and figuratively been a baptism of fire for the new government

And cyberdad is right in saying that this has been brewing for years and years
