I'm going to guess at "no" because you've never offered up an original thought in your puff. Maybe you can find a YouTube video you happen to agree with?

Yep and even amongst those who are pretty engaged in current affairs (like much of this forum) it's a pretty passive interest. Things aren't so bad that enough people actually go full activist or radical

OK you're right LT it wasn't the decades of underfunding, it was something to do with Muslims that Kier Starmer did a week past on Tuesday. You'll be right I won't question your wisdom further.

When I was doom-scrolling through Twitter / X, I
came across these posts from a lawyer who represented people charged with rioting after London 2011.

A lot of them regretted getting involved when they heard the sentences they were getting.

And the criminal record follows them around for years to come, and affects their life. (I think I read the record lasts 10 years for 6 months sentences, and 4 years sentences the record lasts for life.)





I'm guessing a lot of the rioters already have criminal records though.

.
And I'm guessing alot of the rioters don't give a damn as they're too brainless to comprehend consequences,sure some will regret it though.

Indeed it is very dangerous to get involved in things like this if you care at all about leading a decent life with a family and a good job etc

Also a good reminder that things like this have happened plenty of times in the past and this is nothing new

Boris did just that at the start of the pandemic. He missed 5 COBRA meetings whilst he was on holiday to plan how to deal with it.

All politicians are spineless and will put their own needs / plans above the needs of the country

In Hull, the actual planned protest went off peacefully.

But the local youth have caused chaos after the main protesters left.

Scallywags that will get their commupennce.

That's the Gold the Government are looking for. Because now they can put the genuine concerns of the people that are peacefully protestesting about actual concerning issues, on the back burner. Use their propaganda machine to talk about everything other that what the people are there for in the first place.

It will always, always, always be an inside job provocateurs that will set it off. And humans come from apes, so they naturally mimic behaviour.
