/ 14th June 2020Just watched the rightwing rioters in London clashing with and fighting the police.Watching the Neanderthals behavior you get the feeling they are missing football and the fights on the terraces.

/ 14th June 2020It doesn’t look any different to last weeks rioting, except for the far greater number of police and them being kitted for a riot. What is the difference in what you see?

/ 14th June 2020Thank God someone from the RIGHT is doing something. If we allow these ignorant morons on the Left… many who live for the next protest- a free reign, who knows where society will end up. Well, that’s not quite true. We only have to look at our government and police and education system to know what happens in society when the Left are in the ascendancy.

Quote:
”Police Commissioner Andrew Coster says police “need to look really carefully… to make sure that our decisions about who we speak to, who we charge, when we use force are fair”.
That surely must be a misprint? If it’s not, this guy should be sacked straight away by an incoming National government. Notice nowhere is applying the law mentioned.

I see nothing odd about the police being careful about who they charge, speak to or use force against. Did you think that he meant that they should be careless and unfair?
We surely don’t want anything goes, shoot first and ask questions later as seems to happen in the US.

/ 14th June 2020Can anyone remember what the last riots in England were about ? I can’t.
When I was in London once, someone was stabbed and killed for having the wrong footy colours on. He was either going onto the Tube or chased on by supporters of the other team, cornered and killed.

/ 14th June 2020So, this Covid thing. Where is the spike in covid cases among protesters?
This has been in progress for two weeks now, and there is not a single blip anywhere.
