So there you go. Bristol. And not too far from Wales either
Kill the Bill. They almost did and if they had,it would have been the Bill's own fault.Wouldn't it. Not much social distancing nor mask wearing either,another subject dear to the heart of Liberty fans.
We see a government ministers concerned about people having the right to demontate and a Home Sec upset with Police handling of an illegal gathering. Two weeks later you get this Priti.
Johnson and Patel should reign immediately.Ideally and we bring in people with some guts to save our country from anarchy.
Finally, there will be protesters and Labour MP looking at footage to see if Police are to blame and if so,make official complaint. It's happened before and it will happen again.
Those Police van are dangerous too and too easily inflammable.ome of the peaceful demonstrators could have been burnt. They should have been,
The police can never win. They either do too much or not enough and when do they get it dead right? Some people will say never because they do not notice. Yet it's all those times they never noticed that the police did get it right. It's a bit like Jay Fulton, does his job quietly, just gets on with it and most people only notice when he does something exceptional or when he screws up. Then sometimes people say, Fulton went unnoticed again today but what a great job he's doing.

The fact o few seem inclined to post regarding this ays much. We are allowing virtual anarchists to take over. Police bosses have long since abrogated their responsibilities in public order which means just that. Pitiful to hear Andy Marsh spout such fine words as did the Bristol mayor,starngely ilent over previous destruction of monuments. This was a portent of what was to come. Churchill a figure of hate clearly and allowing desecration of his and other statues show what is at stake here and it aint ...
peaceful or orderly
Police allowing that Vigil was the sounding bell for this .There will be more unles we fight back.
We have a gutless,hapless,clueless Home Sec,laughably seen as right wing and a PM so lacking in leadership.
And the alternative is Starmer,Rayner,Abbott,Sultana and every warped sociopath imaginable.

Be worried folks.
Rather Starmer than Boris and his unelected pals. Who are the 'warped sociopaths' then?

That is your preference. Personally I wouldn't feel safer with Starmer. No doubt ,you support the action against Police
Actually I do not support violent demonstrations. But the fact that someone has a political leaning that is not to the right does not make them 'warped sociopaths'. Otherwise some police officers would fall under this category.

We have a problem with peaceful protests in this country at the moment. Irrespective of the cause they attract anarchists and rent a mob who take over after the peaceful protesters have gone home in order to cause mayhem, criminal damage to property and fight the police.
The right to peacefully protest should be enshrined but it could end up being curtailed, not due to the actions of peaceful protesters, but due to the actions of people who don't actually care about it so long as they can create as much mayhem as possible. Peaceful protest could be curtailed or stopped due to the actions of people who don't care about it anyway.

Really.Your masked has slipped. Police ,my friend,are NOT to blame for this riot nor the God Awful spectacle of a vigil for a murdered girl. No excuses.
Police Officers could have died last last. Some,although they wouldn't admit it, would have savoured that. KILL THE BILL means just that and not legislation.
Read and listen to what they say .
You probably live miles away from anything this social breakdown and/or have never faced a mob of hundreds. Like all who haven't,you haven't a clue .
I fully support the right to protest but these aren’t normal times and there has to be restrictions to protect the wellbeing of our citizens. In terms of last night, it was completely unacceptable and the rent a mob rabble who often appear at at protest for an opportunity to kick off appear to be there in numbers. The police were criticised re the Sarah Everard vigil when it got a bit ugly at the end and they will be criticised after last night for probably not going in hard are enough early doors and allowing matters to escalate. I saw 2 officers in riot gear carrying round shields, both had been graffitied with hearts, I was stunned that protestors would get close enough to spray 1 shield yet alone 2. I think we are losing the plot.

I am sorry you seem to have misunderstood me. When speaking of police officers I was suggesting that not all of them lean to the right, some of them have more left leaning views. Please don't make assumptions about my background and experience. You should stick to the evidence. And talking of living miles away, the Wirral is hardly a hotbed of social unrest.

I have a friend in Bristol who went to the earlier peaceful demonstration as an observer. By all accounts after the march had concluded at Castle Park it turned into a bit of a piss up, which was obviously always going to cause issues. Only needed a few of the hardcore to get aggressive towards the police and it was like chucking a match on petrol, although it should be said the majority didn't get involved.
Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely against disgraceful scenes in Bristol yesterday.
But I'll be honest- the only thing that surprises me about this riot is how anybody is surprised by it. People have been locked up for the better part of a year, including the last 3 months. Tensions are running high. Young people especially are frustrated, angry, on edge. People aged 16-29 are self-reporting the lowest life satisfaction right now of any age group, significantly lower than in previous years and lower than every subsequent older age group. They're most likely to have lost their jobs, and have had their prospects ruined. They haven't been able to do nearly any of the things they usually enjoy- gigs, nightclubs, bars, festivals.
It was just like the BLM protests last year- an excuse for young people to have a drink and a day out and feel self-righteous about it after weeks isolated from their friends and peers. In the circumstances, I'm not at all surprised that so many people got carried away, egged on by agitators. The old adage is 'Bread and circuses' keep people pacified but if you remove the circuses part of the equation for long enough it is hardly a surprise if you eventually end up with riots.

One can only judge from what is in front of you. My assumptions are from that .It was as I perceived that to be .Wrong? then boo hoo .It's the same perception as to what is left or right,on which you make assumptions yourself. Do not ever be under the impression you know what Police Officer are about.
A pyse up and boredom then.
Well,that kinda justifies my utter despair as to where we are going.
I stand my every word.
We are on the cusp .We have a generation that cannot handle a pandemic without attacking Police and in doinf so,society at large. Surprised to read that on this site .
Hopefully every rioter who assaulted a police officer is identified, prosecuted and faces the maximum punishment available. In addition I hope they are made to pay significant compensation to the innocent people they have hurt.

Plenty turning up to defend them ,don't worry about that.

Policing has changed massively especially in situations like this all the Police are told to do it is just hold their lines while everything is being recorded for evidence, can you imagine how many CCTV cameras are around a police station like that in the middle of a big city centre along with police body cams, social media and people grassing watch how many posh leftie kids are smoked out

The police were 100 per cent at fault for the vigil.
Tone deaf policing led by senior officers who achieved the worst possible outcomes.
If you don't accept that you will never be able to do a better job.
I am not blaming the front line bobbies, but their highly paid leaders did a crap job.
Bristol was unacceptable by any standard. I dont know enough to comment but the demo was caused by Johnson and Patel.
Beware of the Risen People

O look out the queen of the emojis is imparting its words of wisdom . I'm guessing all your life experiences are from a book .
Not sure the Garda are any more hateworthy as even the Irish need the police sometimes to help them.
I honestly believe Police officers should withdraw their labour and let us get on with it.No other body of people would go to work under these times with cowatrdly bosses and a useless Home Sec that talks tough but that s it. Boris clearly beyond contempt with this.
We could do what Owen Jones and the like suggest;be loving and respectful towards each other and self police the community which will be free of oppression .
Trouble is criminals will love it and shyte on us from an even greater height..

We're certainly living in difficult times , I can't say I'm a lover of the police but I do respect the role they have to play in all our lives, stuck in the middle with the guidance of how they police it seems based on what's politically expedient rather than what's for the betterment of the citizens they're meant to protect .
