I think a group with a certain mindset who deeply believed themselves to be "the silent majority" discovered that in this case, they were absolutely not. As soon as the illusion of safety in numbers was shattered most scurried back under the rug.

I think as well the idea that 3 people who were walking the streets on Saturday are now locked up for 3 years or so, no bail, no waiting for a court date, go straight to jail monopoly style will have impacted as well

…I’m not sure this will be the end of it, as it were…because what remains is that So much in the way of public services etc have been eroded by our governments and their failure to address or invest…so while that continues…(…which it will…)…it leaves that ‘persuasion’ that it’s immigration related and responsible and the government scream now but they allow that redirection onto immigration because it serves themselves to do so …anyway, though…these riots were led and incited by a different beast of hate entirely…

well I would hope the government will now get on with the job of processing the asylum claims, and being seen to clamp down on illegal entry, that will take some of the heat out of it

…I’m not sure that it will ‘take the heat out of it’ because the violence/destruction of the rioting wasn’t about immigration imo…any more than it was about the heinous slaughter in Southport…from the very first ‘attack’ it was attacking an established mosque so it was very much representing a completely different beast to any immigration concerns etc…

And the Football is starting back up soon.

These people care about their favourite Football teams more than any Political opinions that they might hold, thankfully in this case as it might stop the attacks.

We can only hope !!

We are very close to Bolton ( thankfully surrounded by glorious countryside) but we had police helicopters overhead last night and some kind of sirens at 3 am


I feared the worst but have heard nothing thus far ..

The snag is that it there’s an awful lot of damage been done ( not just property) so it could all kick off again at the slightest thing , I fear
