Katie Hopkins is back on Twitter. She'll be nuanced. Yeah that cunt popped into my TL for 0.315 seconds somehow. I really ought to bin it entirely and read books instead

Police have all moved in and set up around Sandy Row (Belfast) again now so might be about to kick off. Also got the two water cannons we lent to Garda on their way back up too. Fired off a 2 plastic bullets round there on Sat night so let's see how it goes.

I'm very confused here, what families is she talking about?

The ones that don't have childcare as of tomorrow, I guess?

Tweet is dated 29th July, the day of the stabbings in Southend, so assuming she means the victim’s families

The wife got a message from her mum which came from my wife's brother. Planned riot in our area of Salford tomorrow. Absolutely no idea how credible this information is or where from as my wife or her mum hadn't thought to ask.
When someone tells me something I usually ask why, how, when, time? Ect, but maybe that's just me but I do find those types of questions rather important in any given situation unless I'm just being nosy and I'll ask anyway.

I’ve seen this woman on Twitter before, she’s a disgusting human being and an even worse parent. The teachers at the school where her kid goes must absolutely hate her

I still have the ‘X’ app on my phone but I stopped looking at it, save for posts linked here or on Reddit, probably around the time of all the Covid shite. Largely the same with Facebook.
Twitter/X has long been the worst of a bad bunch. Especially so now I read (possibly on here even, can’t remember) that it deliberately targets you with oppositional views to try and get rage engagement.
It’s no good for you and there is more than enough depression fodder out there without it.
Bin it and stop feeding the ego and coffers of that arsehole Musk and you will feel marginally better.

All those immigrants, coming over here, not committing crimes! From the 'UK not at boiling point article linked earlier' www.bbc.com/news/articles/czx66dkx3wloWonder why people might think differently...?

No point using stats and figures with the mouth breathers, they'll hand wave it away is "well nobody reports it because the police are useless / police don't look it into so the figures aren't counted".

The biggest Higgy I know has started sharing “evidence” that the IDF funds the EDL with a lot of “think about its” and “huge if trues” around the reasons for why is the rioting now. He also says Ukrainian soldiers have been deployed to Gaza.
Unfollow.

Unfortunately true, Hopefully it'll be a handful of people and it'll remain just short of a mile away from my door. Rather stupid that the route takes them past our local police station

Interesting to read about the response to the 2011 riots by the CPS and their tactic of using fast prosecutions as a visible deterrent. Seems to be happening again and with reports of planned far-right rallies having little/no attendance in some towns suggests its working.
It felt like overkill in 2011 but looks like whoever was DPP at the time has come up with an effective use of judicial force.

It's that bad even Andrew Tate is saying he's getting racist comments from white British people. Leopards, faces etc

Drink every time you hear or read "2 tier policing". I already have cirrhosis of the liver.

I don’t use twitter any more, for years now actually. But I signed back in the other day because, unless I’m missing a trick, you have to be so in order to see anything but a single tweet from any given link, can’t see any threads.

Yeah, they changed that a while ago. Bloody annoying when someone here posts an "interesting thread"
Deleted my account and I have absolutely no intention of creating another.

Could really do without the police getting grief from other areas to go on top of the rioting idiots. I know it's some people's natural reaction to fight back but it's the worst possible response for everyone and will just make things worse all round.
Also risks further escalation and hardening of opinions.

Had to have a word with my sister who said that immigration should just stop knowing full well my fiance from the Phillipines is looking to move here. She was quick to apologise and said she didn't mean it like that. I was half expecting her to say my fiancé's one of the good ones.

Full House on Facey by my brother yesterday. Apparently the BBC are deliberately not showing GB interests over other nations at the Olympics. DEFUND THE BBC. Bingo!
