“People Like Starmer Brought The Riots To The UK” | Is Britain A Tinderbox? | Kevin O'Sullivan

A protest in Sunderland spiralled into a night of "criminal thuggery" as a police station was set on fire and objects were hurled at officers.

Eight people were arrested for offences ranging from violent disorder to burglary following riots sparked by the Southport stabbings.

Three police officers were hospitalised with injuries, two of whom required further treatment.

The chaos erupted in Keel Square, where police faced a barrage of projectiles while trying to control a crowd of several hundred protesters.

With a helicopter circling overhead, young men threw stones at officers, chanting "whose streets? Our streets."

Protests are expected in Blackburn, Blackpool, Bolton, Bristol, Cardiff, Doncaster, Glasgow, Hanley, High Wycombe, Hull, Liverpool, Leeds, Leicester, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham, Portsmouth, Preston, St Helens, Stoke-on-Trent, Swindon, and Wrexham.

Starmers speech was an attempt to intimidate british people into submission.
Big mistake.

[kieronbrowne]

“Including those Pakistan Muslims that systematically destroyed the lives of those vulnerable young girls”

[vincentblack]

What about the Muslim's attacking with machetes and hammers in stoke, while the police did nothing....

[Yesmslola]

That Starmer guy was full of gaslighting and blame shifting. People are upset from the overload of immigration and the government handing them the country.

[sightlines]

Starmer is just the end of a long list of PMs from Blair onwards who have brought trouble to our country.

[justinengland]

The term "Far-Right" is very offensive to people who care for their OWN country!

[helenrichards]

Starmer has taken away free speech, not for everyone but for indigenous British people. His contempt for anyone who disagrees with his ideas and actions is palpable.

[pauldonvito]

I came to the UK as a foreigner. I served in the military and bled for the honour of British citizenship. Never in a million years could i raise my hand against the amazing country that welcomed me and gave me every opportunity to assimilate. I'm devastated by what has happened

[Pendragon]

There is one thing, catholics and Protestants are uniting

[adoremus]

Churches have also been attacked. Please address this issue Starmer!

[simonwashbourne]

As soon as Starmer called British patriots "Far Right" it really kicked off. I wonder why.

[charliebruce]

He better build a thousand more prisons for 50 million British citizens. The creep.

[garethtopham]

It was Tony Blair who started this with Britians open door, then Starmer fighting for legal rights of refugees and making them entitled to benefits.

[iancarrington]

Why have the Manchester Airport thugs not been charged ?

[Stephanie-ffvb]

We feel threatened by men carrying machetes!

[natassia]

Stand down Starmer. The people of Britain has spoken.

[margaretpitts]

We are not far right thugs. We believe in peaceful protests

[OKRA]

Their level of fury is proportional to the cause behind the riots.. BLM, Palestinians and muslim unrest is fine..

[shenmue-wx]

I went to a 90th bday for my aunty today. I see one of my cousins from wiltshire (age riots came up and she immediately said "im part of tommy robbison, im a donator", she then said "he wanted to interview me a few weeks back"

I was shocked....she is a well spoken older lady. Just goes to show that how deep this is going

[davebayliss]

If they consider these people “far Right“ then I am far Right and proud
