[Merryna Santy 🧑🎄]

They really need to hire a graphic designer.

 

[InDie Hard 2]

One allegedly planned here too outside a hotel which does house refugees.

 

[Mary's Boy Tart]

I'm sorry I don't know what SHOE ZONE is but I can only assume it is vulgar.

I’m fairly sure Shoe Zone is a Front for money laundering. Stratford Upon Avon council declined interest from Primark and Dunelm because they’re not on brand for the town, but unquestioningly approved the biggest Shoe Zone I’ve ever seen that NOBODY EVER GOES TO. I’m convinced they’re up to no good.

While most antifascists are generally peaceful, I'm aware there's a few willing to get into a fight with Nazis. That certainly applies in Brighton.

I support punching nazis

 

[Mary's Boy Tart]

Seriously if the police just opened fire at each one, nobody would mind.

 

[InDie Hard 2]

My friend of Asian heritage (born in UK) who lives and works in a northern city just won't go anywhere at the moment. Terrified of leaving her house.

Absolute fucking shitrags, the lot of them.

It's the same graphic designer that Nicki French uses.

Again, I ask, why aren't police firing their tasers?

A policy of de-escalation rather than attack.

 

[Nancy]

Well, I hope that the tasers, water cannons and tear gas are all deployed against these hooligan scum thugs.

UK police don't use such tactics. They have a non provocation policy.

They don't use tear gas, rubber bullets or water cannons

While this is probably the more sensible option, I just really think a few dead fascists would boost the nation’s morale.

 

[ZenReindeer]

I think police have tear gas only for immediate close physical threats, rather than for crowd dispersal

 

[DJ Play Ag Christmas Song (39)]

A taser in a mass riot is entirely impractical. You taser someone, you then have a duty of care to retrieve them from the scene and deal with them appropriately. You can't do that in a mob.

 

[DJ Play Ag Christmas Song (39)]

You also risk have having the taser stolen.

 

[DJ Play Ag Christmas Song (39)]

But yes I'd prefer them dead.

 

[Rachey]

Could the police not use water cannons/hoses?

 

[Nancy]

Although it could be argued that the police have encountered many close physical threats in the last week, such as bricks and burning bins being hurled at them.

 

[DJ Play Ag Christmas Song (39)]

There aren't any in the UK. As for hoses, yes they probably need a clean.

 

[Nancy]

Not being facetious, but would a fireman's hose work?

Too many innocent people in the locations of these particular riots.

If the area was an evacuated shopping street, then I don't see why not.

 

[ZenReindeer]

They're very short range sprays for when someone is in punching/stabbing range. Wouldn't be suitable for people throwing things, or really when it's multiple people.

That's why you only see them either form defensive lines or kettle crowds. Most other tools you see elsewhere aren't used here or are outright illegal.

If things escalated so much that violent dispersal was judged to be the best course of action, they'd probably need to call in the army

 

[Rachey]

This is just absolutely disgusting

 

[lolly lolly (The Coventry Carol)]

Walking home from work now. I'm going to detour to skirt the fringe of the area where it's rumoured to be happening.

 

[Fejyxz Navidad]

Quite a visible police presence coming home through Liverpool just then.

 

[lolly lolly (The Coventry Carol)]

Walking along the road where it's supposedly happening now. No businesses open as far as I can see. About two thirds with boarded up windows.

Getting closer and they are all boarded up, including the Bristol Bear Bar - although it appears to remain open for business.

 

[Kate]

My foof-wax lady just told me that she heard people working around Liverpool Street station have been told to go home early

I'm going east later (not as far as Walthamstow OBVIOUSLY, it is a SCHOOL NIGHT) so will see if anything seems to be going down

 

[Rachey]

I can't even imagine how horrible it must be for small business owners, having to close and board up their shops during what should be a busy period.

I'd be heartbroken if riots happened here and our shop got smashed up. Although, looting for fudge would give us some publicity

Don't worry, they would probably break into Poundland and steal armfuls of the crap £1 a box fudge instead.

 

[Iguana wish you a Merry Christmas 🦎🎄]

It's a shame the prisons are all full up.

Are there still planes ready to go to Rwanda?

 

[lolly lolly (The Coventry Carol)]

I've walked through Barton Hill (the centre of the city's Somali community here) on the route back to home, through a large children's playground which would normally be full of children and mums. Literally just a few shifty looking teens

 

[GNLs We Have Heard on High]

Are they going to have to release more prisoners to give the rioters their two months in jail? Are we looking at a REVOLVING DOOR situation?

 

[Mary's Boy Tart]

Plenty of room in the ground.

 

[Rachey]

At what point will this get escalated by the government and police? Or do they feel like they're dealing with it appropriately

 

[Baby It’s Soldi Outside]

The past couple of days have been quieter no? I suppose it depends on how/if things escalate tonight.

Oh maybe. I just saw the list of places that were meant to be rioting/protesting today and assumed it was as bad.

The riots from a few years ago, what was the reason behind them? I've forgotten now.

2011? Started from the murder of a black man, Mark Duggan. But I doubt it was anything to do with that in the end.

That's right! Thank you.
