The @HJS_Org report is out into the unrest in #Leicester by @CharlotteFLit. It's excellent.
The sophisticated RSS-Bus hoax that was debunked by @ainajkhan was compared with Muslim activists car pooling. No Hindutva or RSS involvement.
Investigations did not find #Hindutva extremist organisations operating in #Leicester.
I agree with most of @CharlotteFLit conclusions.
#Leicester has been in special measures by the security services for years. PREVENT and @leicspolice teams are well aware of Leicester's unique role in European Islamist politics.

@ainajkhan helped debunk the sophisticated RSS-Bus hoax. I'm glad @CharlotteFLit highlighted that.
Aina and @guardian used one of the main social media instigators, Majid Freeman, as her local fixer. That was missed in the report.
There is zero mention of cricket related violence in Leicester in 2017 and the recent unrest.
Pakistan vs India cricket has been a reoccurring flashpoint for community tension.
@leicspolice understood and responded.
@HJS_Org showcased a motley crew of radicals who turned up to cause trouble in Leicester.
Most are well known Islamists. Tommy Robinson a football hooligan and anti-Muslim agitator tried to get involved too.
The only real organised threats were from these social media misfits.
