These rioters want any reason for a fight, doesn't matter what's the cause.
Violence and anger is wired into their tiny brains.
Remember the 2011 riots?
I sense these riots are different to 2011 MCR. The rioters are also literally and figuratively, a different complexion. And these riots are not mindlesss, even if we may not agree with the minds behind them.
People have reached a tipping point and are frustrated that none of their concerns are even acknowledged, let alone addressed.
I didn't know anyone in 2011 who "supported" those rioters, but many of the same people are now, if not supportive of the current riots, remarkably sympathetic to them.
Because all I can see is people attacking the police when they arrested the 17 year old. Talk about being stupid.
These people just wanted to kick off.
These concerns usually seem to have racism at the heart of all.
Indeed. Where were these "protestors" when the BBC radio reporter's wife and two daughters were killed by a man with a crossbow, or when any other white perpetrator killed or raped or attacked someone? Were there riots when Sarah Everard was raped and murdered? Not that I can remember.
It must warm the cockles of the closet racists' and not-so-closet racists' hearts when a black or brown person commits a heinous crime. Then they can go out and vent their hate in the guise of "protesters" (armed with projectiles) who have "had enough".
If the media are talking about the EDL they are 10 years out of date. Tommy dissolved it after a few years. The media were going in undercover and went out their way cause trouble for a scoop and it had one too many bad apples.
Some religions do not mix well, Catholics and Protestants is one classic example.
I never thought I would agree with Mike Graham. I have met him once and he is a very rude and smug man.
Why is Keir so focused on Muslims and not the whole population? Anyone can be a victim of murder, assault, carnage and an unprovoked attack.

I think racism is a predictable, common and boring response to their concerns. But is not the heart of it for most of them, which is broadly:
- Holding immigrants to their own standards of morality, culture and norms rather than insisting they meet our own. In other words, being treated as less free than the immigrants.
- Linking declining public services to growing numbers of immigrants, legal or otherwise. In other words, fear for the quality of life for themselves and their loved ones.
- Lack of democratic (or any kind) of representation for the majority, epitomised by the recent Labour win, representing only about 30% of people. In other words, no one is listening to them.
- Language and thought control. They can't call for non-conforming Muslims to be sent home in public, but Muslims can call for holy wars while the Police stand by. In other words, not only is no one listening to then, they can't speak.
- The authorities in their own country. For all the above reasons, condone the immigrants behaviours, but are actively hostile to longer established generations. In other words, their country has been taken from them and handed to the immigrants.
Until liberals - and I include myself in that - start to listen and Governments acknowledge the very real emotions that arise from these perceptions, things will just get worse.
Alas, a lot of people who kick off at "da immigrunts" are second and third generation Irish. They need to be reminded that they are descended from immigrants. I have no time for drawbridge racists.

No one is against immigration but some people just don't want to mix. Killarney is becoming a no go area, it was a thriving tourist area.
Yes you are right that a lot of Irish do have Germanic ancestry hence the green eyes.

And 12th and 13th generation (or whatever not done the maths!) Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Viking....
But 100% moron.
But these protests are attracting people beyond the morons - who have genuine concerns not being addressed.
This is what is different to the bored idiot kids in 2012. There were no none moron "rioters" on show then.
I agree Wyot, people don't want thoughts and prayers we need protection from warped religions and people which we don't get. I have noticed that a lot on here don't have children, if they did they would have a differen't mind set.
No deep thinking from this individual who travelled from Essex to Middelsborough. He's quite open about the fact that racism was his motivation.
I don't claim deep thinking from any of them; they are thick as swamp mud.
But this doesn't mean they don't have thoughts, however reactionary and stupid these thoughts may be.
If you explored with this chap (in his limited way) why he is racist I bet a lot of the kinds of concerns I listed above would emerge, however clumsily expressed.
I don't agree with the mindless tag. It is patronising and fuels their resentment.
While I shouldn't have to say this I will for clarity - I find everything they stand for repugnant, and their concerns misplaced.
It is actually the Government they should be angry with - but for a minority of idiots it will always be easier to focus on the "other" to explain way their own sorry lives.
If you want to go down that route Jo, Monzo does not like white.
I see where you are coming from though, I truly do.
Daniel Anjorin life was taken pointlessly and his family suffer a life sentence. I doubt Marcus Monzo went out looking for anyone specifically to murder but looked at random people to target. He is a complete nutter
I am wary of the people who call up LBC, before social media but people called up talk radio shows for prank calls or pretend to be from a certain group when they were not.
It's called Culture Jamming, it was massive thing in the 1980s-1990's. Not even news channels were safe.
When you are parent, hearing children killed or harmed does boil your piss. If kids are not safe at a dance club during the Summer holidays, then who is safe?
MPs are on their hollybobs, enjoying the Sun and meeting their globalists friends.
