The Labour Government

Anybody know what any of the other party leaders have said to calm this situation down, Tory, Lib Dem, Green, SNP or Reform?
The problem is they're making it worse by trying to score points against the Tories and vice versa. Things like this can cause proper civil wars.

They all need to shutup and issue unitary statements telling people to go home and behave.

That’s what I’m looking for, there should be a unified stand, all parties with the same message. Not really seen anything from the other parties though.
 
Are you actually seriously predicting that this could end in civil war?
I don't mean an armed civil war, I mean sustained and continued incidents of civil disorder and violence. It has been happening for 3 days now and it isn't going to get better is it? These marches and protests are going to increase.

The political parties can't respond to this by trying to score public political points, they're only going to make it worse.

You deployed the term ‘proper civil wars’, presumably to distinguish them from those that aren’t proper ones. Yours words, not mine.

This will fizzle out in a couple of days.
 
also this is a not to veiled threat against those now silent - Tice, Farage, Goodwin etc - cannot run away and hide. I anticipate if Robinson sets foot on UK soil as he is on the run from a court case Starmer will make sure he is publicly arrested and banged up.
Do you seriously believe that?
Remember the 2011 riots? People were imprisoned for nicking ice cream - who was the DPP at the time with such a hard line approach? Yep you guessed.
Yeah it's been mentioned in the Starmer thread. The fella who picked up an ice cream from an already ransacked shop got deported back to Portugal. Some other opportunist took home some water and got bird for it.

I mean whoever is the DPP at this time will do similar. When obvious criminality is being live streamed there will be an abundance of low hanging fruit being charged.

The idea that he is going to instigate a show trial of Robinson is for the birds.
 
mistakes labour could make

Deploying the army.
curfews.
hiding inn london and not visiting the comunities affected.

What they should do.

Make twitter close down inflamitary accounts
Revoke yaxley-lennon citizenship using same reason as begum and national security cocemrs, apply to have him jailed under european law for terrorsim.
Recall parlient amd have tice, farage and any other santtioned under parliamentry rules.
Stop using the term EDL and call out what they are, a mixed selection of criminals, thugs and right wing agitators.
temporarily use the police power of no more tham 5 person allowed in a protest any more and all are dipersed or detained.

Ban any far right symbolism the hakenkreuz, the nazi salute, etc, if seen automatically arrested.

Speak with imans and the MDL organiser to tell them any violence on their side will be dealt with as harshly.
 
Have to disagree on this. He’s making this about politics by referring to their political stances. We need the leader to use the language of unity not division.

Sunak has done a far better job in his condemnation:

“The shocking scenes we’re seeing on the streets of Britain have nothing to do with the tragedy in Southport.This is violent, criminal behaviour that has no place in our society.The police have our full support to deal with these criminals swiftly and they must face the full weight of the law.”
No he hasn't.

Sunak can't tell it as it is, the same right wing forces behind all this shit, are only a cigarette paper away from Reform voters, if that, the same Reform voters the Tories are desperate to woo. Johnson won all those northern constituencies in 2019 by gas lighting that getting Brexit done would get "our country back" and when he fucked up the Tories paid the price.

Sunak is caught between a rock and a hard place, he's trying to win over the same people he's condemning, still it could've been worse, he could've been running a corner shop in one of those forgotten towns, he'd be sweeping up glass this morning.

Where did he refer to political stances in that clip?

Yaxley Lennon travels on an Irish Passport - is he even actually British?

Agree with all that apart from last sentence all should be included in the above to ensure no perception of 2 tier policing.

Explain how, what he said, hasn’t without going in to a diatribe on Sunak when the only voice that matters in all of this is Starmer’s. What Sunak says doesn’t matter one iota.

Starmer has raised it a notch in what he said today, when he should be seeking calm he spoke of division. Thats not what our PM should be doing
