"The ""notionally"" was deliberate especially given his recent scary pronouncements on the use of facial recognition recognition software (now banned in the EU) which is widely used by the likes of China for supression who even dare to protest peacefully. That, combined with the recent laws on planning peaceful protest, is getting towards prosecutions for thought crime."

"zebthecat 1:33 Mon Aug 5 Re: Manchester Airport incident I'd also steer clear of using the word ""òprogressive' when it comes to Labour (noting that you did say ""ònotionally') Everything they've done thus far has been more Tory than anything the Tories did. Killing old people's winter fuel allowance? Even the rightest of Tory rights wouldn't have done it. This is a 'man' with a massive track record of favouring censorship and removal of civil liberties, and his recent speeches ""ì and absence of them in relation to other matters ""ì suggest that isn't going anywhere. People are in for a very rude awakening if they think they voted for a libertarian or progressive government with anything but their own interests, and those of their Globalist paymasters, at heart"

"ray winstone 1:11 Mon Aug 5 Why should Tories care more about their loss their party suffered in the recent, but now historical election than what is currently happening to their country? Just because you put party far above population doesn't mean anybody/everybody else does/should."

"Seems that ""Far Right"" & ""Rioters"" are now inseperable/synomic Siamese Textual Twins in the government licenced MSM these days. How long, do you think it will take for the more lethargic thinkers to disassociate either phrase with other activities/beliefs. Some, it seems, in an effort to appear ""progressive"" and ""aligned fully with current events"", seem to have already taken that step. All Starmer & his party have proved (PROVED) is that they have as much disdain & disrespect for the majority of the UK population as had the lot they replaced."

"stewie griffin 12:33 Mon Aug 5 ""Why do you keep going on about the ""òTories'?"" I questioned this right after the election had finished, and never got an answer. Their obsession against the Tories is greater than anything they supposedly support. Pickled is a fine example of it."

"And since you love to babble on about ""òTories'""¶ no hint of trouble in any Tory-led areas. Rarely, if ever, is. Always the Labour-run shitholes. Odd coincidence that - I'm sure the investigations into the far-right mobs' organisation, movement and tactics will focus on it."

"Has there been an estimate of the numbers that came out to attack mosques and try and burn down an occupied Holiday Inn? 5,000? 10,000? More ? Less ? Understand they were outnumbered by anti fascists at many of the confrontations Most people want action against Islamic terrorists and paedos but not keen on blaming EVERY Muslim for nutters."

I would think a lot of those charged and that can make a half decent defence will fancy their chances of a not guilty in certain parts of the country.

The biggest problem for Starmer is that every time he adresses the nation it riles people up even more.

"Why do you keep going on about the ""òTories'? Starmer was PM during the Harehills protests. He's had one job, he's fucked it up. Rachel Reeves has had one job. Fucked it up. Yvette Cooper has had one job. Fucked it up. To date, they are an absolute clown show. Worse than Truss and Kwarteng. And since you love to babble on about ""òTories'""¶ no hint of trouble in any Tory-led areas. Rarely, if ever, is. Always the Labour-run shitholes."

"Starmer will be (partly) judged on his reaction to recent events. Apart from the recent 'peaceful protests' there is the issue that his government have already suspended the bill that protects free speech in universities. Think we'll see more of his working class support drift to reform as if you talk to people outside the major cities, people really have had enough. Pity it's 30 years to late and also tragic that it took 3 child murders to trigger people's anger. All the looters and those committing acts of violence need dealing with properly but that aside, long may this continue, the time for ordinary British people to air their feelings is long overdue."

"""The good working class people of Britain have made it clear that these rioters do not represent them."" sorry but you've just made this up. the riots/protests are largely about mass immigration. we've had brexit and successive GEs fought over this and every time the ""good working class people of britain"" have voted against it. the most recent GE you have a brand new party (which was solely fighting on that front) getting something like 16% of the votes casted? Plus those racist old tories who got somewhere around 30% of that vote."

"""People understand the difference between respecting people's right to non-racist professional policing and mobs rioting and looting""ù Indeed they do, which is precisely the problem for Starmer and co. People with memories longer than a goldfish remember very well the Police running away from the violent protests and burning of police cars in Harehills two weeks ago, and Starmer's insipid response A protest, by the way, which was started because the authorities had the temerity to take away a 7-month old child who had a fractured skull because they 'fell' from a window."
