Comrade Starmer to restrict civil liberties to curb riots. Will he bring the army in next?

 


It's absolutely disgusting the way in which louts on the far right, have used the tragic deaths of three little children in Southport, as a pretext to stir up racial unrest and to try and instigate a race war in Britain. The law-abiding people of Southport have appealed for calm and called on protesters to stay away.

Since the riot in Southport, other copycat riots have taken place in other parts of the country. In central Manchester, louts ransacked and looted Sainsbury's and protesters were seen giving the Nazi salute - an insult to all British people. A black man was also beaten up. In nearby Newton Heath, so-called English patriots, congregated outside the Holiday Inn hotel which is housing refugees and attacked car drivers driving down the road. They even dragged a man off a bus and beat him up. In other parts of the country, mobs have attacked Mosques, refugee centres and even libraries and a Citizens Advice Bureau. In Rotherham, the mob attacked and ransacked a refugee centre.

Many of these far-right protesters, have been whipped up by the bigoted nationalist racist rhetoric used by politicians like Suella Braverman, the minister for hate, Nigel Farage and Lee Anderson of Reform UK, or propaganda and misinformation spread on social media, by the likes of Tommy Robinson, the former leader of the nationalist anti-Muslim English Defence League (EDL).

It had been claimed on social media that the 17-year-old suspect in the Southport stabbings, was an asylum seeker who arrived in Britain by a small boat. He was in fact born in Cardiff and lived in Southport and the police have not been able to establish any link to any radical Islamist faction or group. These thugs have been seen chanting "we want our country back" and "Oh Tommy Robinson". While Britain goes up in flames, Robinson, a convicted criminal, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley Lennon, is believed to be currently on holiday and staying in a five-star hotel, in Ayia Napa, in Cyprus. He left Britain in a hurry to avoid an arrest warrant.

I believe in the right to peaceful protest and the right to engage in non- violent civil disobedience, but violent disorder and mindless thuggery, is likely to lead to a crackdown on civil liberties in Britain and greater social control over the British population. No doubt, some of these people may have genuine concerns about the way in which Britain is being run, but turning to mob violence, is likely to play into the hands of those who would like to turn Britain into a police state. Furthermore, it's not in any of our interests that the people of this country should be dictated to and harassed by the instincts of the pitchfork mob.

Humza Yousaf, of the SNP, has already called on the Labour Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer to deploy the British army to deal with rioters. This could lead to curfews, deaths, and emergency measures being introduced - martial law. 

Starmer, a former Trotskyist and authoritarian director of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), has already said that the Labour government will allow the police to use facial recognition technology to control and restrict the ability of people to move about freely. He's also talked about curbs on social media and prosecuting people who are suspected of inciting social unrest by spreading lies and disinformation on sites like 'X' (formerly Twitter) and Facebook. This should also apply to lying British rabble-rousing populist politicians who make inflammatory speeches to whip people up for their own political purposes and self-interest.

Great job with your piece on the riots .


As you say it`s fine to bring in these punitive measures against these morons , but they also have to be extended to the different social media platforms and certain mainstream broadcasters and newspapers who are using these idiots to further their own agenda ..


It`s strange , I keep treading articles in the Mensa magazine about how the average IQ is rising around the world . I would severely question that theory , when looking at Russia , Israel , Palestine , America and especially the UK ; we seem to have more idiots per head of the population than most . In fact , producing morons seems to be one of the few growth industries that we have , it`s unfortunate that we can`t export the majority of them .


You are right Farage , Robinson , Anderson et al should be held responsible for their comments in the media , including Elon Musk , who for all his wealth and alleged intelligence clearly understands little of what happens in the UK .

A recent poll showed 76%of public in favour of bringing in the army to quell further violence. Agree we have a new generation of 'Enoch Powells' amongst politicians and journalists like Guy Adams of Daily Mail. He felt 4/5 years imprisonment for Just Stop Oil protesters was insufficient. What would he feel appropriate for these thugs of the far right?
