Even Piers Morgan is telling Musk to fuck off, which I feel oddly strange about.

Worst I’ve heard from today’s events is a bunch of Save ‘R’ Kidzers causing some traffic disruption in Portsmouth. All things told I’ll take that as a win.

Delighted to see that for every hooligan there remains hundreds of good respectful people. I think we all know this even if it feels in certain places things may be further out of balance. Cutting through the noise of press and furore also has its challenges. Treat people as you yourself would like to be treated and then try to be better than that when you can. Peace is free!

Not bothered if it's a hoax. It's got people engaged to counter protest cunts. And in far greater numbers than the cunts who originally started all this. Drawing negatives from this is strange outlook. But if it’s a hoax don’t they realise, with all these police mobilised and having their time wasted, it’s their very own hard earned tax pounds that are being flushed down the pa….ah, sorry. My bad. |

Had to impose a self ban on the news for a while today, the anger was getting the better of me.
I don't often get emotional, but almost hesitantly checking BBC news just now, it genuinely almost brought a tear to my eye at how much those counter protesters and the public in general have restored my faith in humanity.

Same. I was dreading today, but Bristol turned up in a beautiful way.

It's like I said before, most people are just generally decent and want to get on with their day to day lives, everyone has prejudices but most people don't want to bother others and have little to no time for actual scummy cunts. At the same time I think we also forgot that pure scummy people with no clear morals exist and they need to be reminded to fuck off.

Now we’re seeing people end up in court I expect the insurrection to quiet down pretty quickly These cowards are only brave in a group, once they realise they’ll need to face the consequences on their own they’ll shit their pants and go back to venting on fb I said the other day that most of them will shit themselves and it seems like they have However, I do think we’ll see the proper hardcore out again in some form at the weekend, much smaller numbers though so I doubt they’ll be as disruptive There’s still a lot of very shitty people on Twitter purposely trying to incite hatred and division though, asking why some of the “protesters” have been sentenced and the Southport murderer has not. The Secret Barrister has called them out on their BS but the posts remain up |

They tend to come out the hotter it gets - sun and cider makes for sassy ‘slamaphobes - so I’d keep an eye on Sunday as it’s going to creep up near 30 again.

That front page doesn’t say they’re happy about it. And the Express led with two tier policing lie literally yesterday.

Interesting that the Express had Farage front and centre on their front page yesterday as a form of figurehead or voice while the riots were ongoing.
Today the Express on their website at least leads with their own investigation into the planning of the riots along with an unamed source seemingly pointing blame at Russia.
Can't see Farage or his handlers being to happy with that one.

Are any of these things still happening, or is it all rumors and then 1 confused dude turns up and everyone has boarded up their shops for no reason? Seems like the disruption caused by the rumors might be more than that caused by actual disorder at this point. Unless things are still kicking off, in which case disregard. Called it!  Economic impact of lots of small businesses having to shut shop for a day can't be great, although maybe the boost in boards and nails sales will offset it. I guess it's nice to see all the people turn up for the anti-fascist counter protests though. Show of solidarity and community. Daily Mail won't be happy as they don't like all those antifa troublemakers. |

Looks like a few prominent voices and general folk on the right are turning on Farage. Calvin Robinson has called him a snake. Tommy Robinson and Fox both accuse him of throwing them and the movement under a bus.
Glorious to see.

That is Farage's MO, stoke the fire and when it comes to accountability, he's not me guv. Bet he was annoyed that he actually has to be an MP.

He's just asking questions! Unfortunately he never asks himself the question of "why am I such a cunt?"

Have to say it's disgusting the way Jenrick, Farage and others are spouting the 'two tier policing' line. As elected representatives of the nation (which includes the Police) then you expect them to be on the side of law and order and not use dig whistles to score points in their favour.
Jenrick is especially odious as he points to these riots being the result of 'uncontrolled migration' which his government was responsible for from 2010 until last month. He was also immigration minister to make matters even worse.

Must really confuse people when racist god (Farage) gets attacked by racist jesus (Robinson). It's like watching your heroes fight.

Right wing nut jobs turning on each other when the spotlight is on them? Who would have thought? Anyway, apparently Farage doesn't like it when people call then the Farage Riots so we should definitely stop referring to then as that. Definitely.

The Riots of Farage. The Riots specifically instigated by (among others) Farage. Farage's Riots. /Emperor's New Groove |

"Someone get a message through to PM Kier
That they’d better start assembling the shields round here,
And keep Mrs Hussein right out of sight,
Cos there's gonna be a riot caused by Farage tonight"
With apologies to Neil and Nigel.

And I've just had the misfortune of looking up Calvin Robinson; I assume, despite being a minister, he's never actually read the bible. Or at least Exodus. He seems to be unaware of the ninth commandment.
