Sir Keir Starmer says police should stay on ‘high alert’ for disorder at weekend

Sir Keir Starmer has reiterated his message that police should remain on “high alert” going into the weekend as unrest that started last week appeared to have eased.

During a visit to the Metropolitan Police’s special operations room in Lambeth on Friday, the Prime Minister told broadcasters: “My message to the police and all of those that are charged with responding to disorder is maintain that high alert.

“I’m absolutely convinced that having the police officers in place these last few days, and the swift justice that has been dispensed in our courts have had a real impact.

Our very own Putin. Labour voters this on you.

[philipdart]

The question really has to be is two tear Keir stirring things up unnecessary for political ends! Who are the right? or choosing to ignoring fractious left wing groups?

Seems you only have human rights if your NOT indigenous to this country

As far as I know There will be a protest in London and Birmingham by the Hindu's against the brutality that's happening in Bangladesh on the 10th
now you will have to do your own research on the history of that region because kier starling is arresting anyone that has a conversation that is not state approved.
so considering what the focus of the protest is, will Kier be labelling them as far right?
which he shouldn't, but who knows, this dictator is unpredictable.

Everyone stay on high alert as One doesn’t work past Six. He’s like a dislocated wrist!

[JL-xdcn]

Whatever your views on him.. ....Starmer has been strong, a country needs strong leadership

[blazingmytrail]

Not my prime minister. If anyone is far right, it’s Starmer, what with his relationship as a “friend” of Israel. Vile man. Get him out.

[donaldcarr]

There is no indication that he recognises the concerns and dissatisfaction with the policies that previous governments and his own have pursued ?

[hattmarvey]

It would be nice if Starmer supported the British and the Christians, but he seems to be supporting the Islamists who have the most right wing, racist and authoritarian ideology you can imagine.
