When Labour were last in power every survey i read for what seemed like years would say 98% rejected mass immigration these were also published in leftwing papers, the tories got in and just carried on these disasterous policys, both partys have blood on there hands start deporting no excuses just do it, eventually we may get a hint of the stable society we once had, maybe a poor immitation but its all we have now.

[markedwards]

How come you can name the 9 yr old girl.
But can't name the 17 year old suspect ?

[helenisherwood]

Why are people not protesting outside the police station where the coward is being held. If it was the other way round they’d be rioting on the streets

[BennyMcGibbon]

No sorry its not about teddy bears and flowers and cards and tributes. Thats a psy op nudge to get everyone to calm down. We've had enough of this lawlessness.

[wowcarnage]
