Government need to be condemning both sides more than anything
some the actions from so called ‘Counter Protesters’ has been swept under the carpet by Government and Police.

Not defending any the dickheads who took it far and smashed up their own towns etc as I don’t personally see point in all that and they’ll get what’s coming to them aswell.

But they need to be condemning the counter protesters that are happily roaming the streets with machetes and swords. Spreading fake rumours about EDL marches in areas everyone knows was never gonna happen spread by Far Left extremists
The whole reason everyone’s in uproar as it is was due to 3 innocent girls being stabbed and yet the government haven’t said a word on how they’re planning to tackle knife crime. It’s a serious problem in this country and is massive issue in certain community’s.

Police have pretty much admitted to losing control in areas like Birmingham admitting they wasn’t present as they spoke to ‘community leaders’ and were assured it would be peaceful and no violence.

The media in this to blame for allot of this too there’s genuine people with concerns about their country who wasn’t violent or spreading hate being named and shamed online branded as far right so they’re silenced.

Can’t condem one side for being extreme and ignore the other half who are just as violent

Interesting considering Jewish people aren’t safe in the UK from a certain community right now but nothing gets said about that.

Like I said there’s serious issues on both sides.

This was the second biggest story on the BBC News website for most of yesterday.

The things you mention are being reported on. Although you say you're not, you're coming across as a bit desperate to defend organised racist riots, for some reason.

'A Salford man who pleaded not guilty to a racially aggravated public order offence and assault left the court crying as he was refused bail.

Alex Fraser, of Leicester Road, Salford, was alleged to have been boasting about taking part in the weekend’s disorder before allegedly assaulting a man and shouting racial and homophobic abuse after drinking in the Moon Under Water pub in Manchester city centre on Monday, August 5'.

'Michael Williams, 51

Williams, of Devon, was captured kicking a man in Plymouth city centre, before hurling bottles and rocks at police during disorder there. Plymouth Crown Court heard that he drank six cans of Stella Artois before joining the riot and was heard chanting: "Who the f*** is Allah' repeatedly.

The 51 year old also told police a rock found in his pocket was for "healing purposes", which a judge dismissed as "ludicrous".

He was jailed for two years and eight months after pleading guilty to violent disorder'.

'A teenager who joined riots in Hartlepool while out celebrating his 18th birthday has been detained for 20 months.

Bobby Shirbon, of Cornwall Street, Hartlepool, took part in two consecutive nights of disorder in the town, Teesside Crown Court heard. He was seen smashing windows during violent scenes on July 31 – the day he turned 18 – while part of a group that was throwing bricks and bottles at police. The defendant then threw beer bottles at a police van while wearing a balaclava the following night as part of further disorder involving a smaller group of youths.

Shirbon, who pleaded guilty to two charges of violent disorder, said “it’s okay, everybody else is doing it” when he was arrested, it was said'.

'Former postmaster and school governor Steven Mailen, 54, and his partner Ryan Sheers, 29, were captured dancing and gesticulating at a line of police officers on Murray Street in Hartlepool as the crowd behind them roared on the evening of July 31. Mailen shouted abuse at an officer, who repeatedly warned him to "get back." Mailen refused, and was hit by a police baton on his leg. His partner, Sheers, shouted abuse as he tried to push through the line of five police officers. He was bitten on the hip and the right buttock by a police dog, which prompted the crowd to disperse.

Mailen tried to free his partner from the dog, and he grabbed a police officer's radio, which had fallen to the ground. A scuffle broke out as it took three police officers to arrest Mailen and get him into a police van.

On Thursday, he wept in the dock at Teesside Crown Court as the judge was told that the couple had spent the day "at the bingo" and that they had happened upon the riot by chance when they went out later in the evening to buy alcohol. Police bodycam footage captured Mailen, who now works as a carer, dancing and taunting officers "at the forefront of the mob." Mailen later kicked an officer in the shin, as he was arrested.

Sheers was captured following his partner, gesticulating at the police and ignoring repeated demands to "get back." The footage captured an audible gasp from the crowd, as the police dog pulled at his shorts and bit him on the right buttock and hip. 

Both men were jailed for 26 months'.

Join a union then pal 👍🏻

Well said. 👏🏻
