Comment on Britain’s far right enjoys unparalleled impunity on Telegram

They made it sound like the rioting was everywhere, but I was in a pub in Manchester and there was maybe a couple of hundred of nobheads outside who kept running past the other way whenever someone saw the plod coming
Also someone set fire to a bin near my house - that was about the high watermark of the downfall of civilisation that time.

I was living in SW London then, I even joined Twitter hoping to get news on local trouble more quickly. I did see a few very dodgy looking chaps hanging around in twos and threes but nothing happened.
Oh except a shop front glass got smashed over in New Malden high street. It was big news until the reports confirmed it was the owners had an accident.
It’s not like the old days when we could have a proper riot like in Brixton or Toxteth. Ah those were the days…
