Why wasn't this done 10 years ago to the grooming gangs?

What an absolute lie, what about the armed men in Stoke on Trent, Hanley…waving weapons in the air in front of the police with no apparent action?

[hershmergersh]

weird how the cops retreated and "sat down with community leaders" when it was the child abusing gippos in Leeds rioting

[markhodgkinson]

Media rather talk of riots. Not the murdered children or those stabbed.

[BigBazz-Clips]

So where has this “army” been all this time? Why hasn’t it been stopping the rampant knife crime?

[TheGoldenPig.]

Can he have a closed doors meeting with a real cobra? that'd be great.

[scottjames]

Why aren’t the army protecting our borders???

[g.p]

NO WAY would he be so aggressive and dismissive if these people were Black or Asian!!

[brutuslongsword]

he siad it just there, we wont tolerate vandalism on say it like that, why doesn't he say that the government wont tolerate ANY violent from any group of people. This is a very telling point not to be missed here

[Trebor]

So, a "standing army" is available to police inside Britain, but not it's borders? Got it.

[fazfinisher]

Standing army, but cant attend a break in....perfect.

[mbdwito]

Where were the riot police duiring the pro hamas marches ????

[stevedunn]

Has he thought about charging the blokes at Manchester Airport who were battering his armed police perhaps?.

[markm]

The PM of Bangladesh has resigned following violent protests and deaths, time for Starmer to follow suit before any lives are lost.

Monday 5th August 2024….the day a standing British Prime Minister formally declared war on his own people 😢

[andymcnab.]

If Churchill had Starmers way of thinking 'we'd all be speaking German'
What a spineless coward.

[vincentchapman]

They can jump on the British people quick enough and get them. But can't stop boats and migrants that have gone missing. Prioritising the wrong way round.

😮 The ongoing riots are being carried out by many British citizens as a clear message to you, which you seem to be ignoring. Instead of addressing their concerns, you are choosing to support non-British citizens. It is time to acknowledge that immigration must be regulated and to address the social issues within the country. It's clear to me that you are not supporting your citizens, but rather trying to maintain peace for the sake of your political term as Prime Minister. Perhaps it's time to take a stand and address the internal issues within the country. 😢

There is no 2 tier policing???? are you for real!! tell that to the lady that got arrested for standing on the pavement minding her own business with he arms folded. Two police officers arrested her for not moving on. She tried to move on to get home but was stopped and told you must stay put until we say it is safe to go. Then while waiting 2 officers put her in cuffs!! 64 years old!! and took her off to the station! absolutely disgraceful behaviour all while being payed for from hard working people. Mr Starmer you should be ashamed of yourself. I bet you mother would say " Im disappointed in you son"
