There's a lot of horrific footage circulating of riots and protests from last night.
Political hacks are selectively using specific clips to push their narratives.
Here’s an attempted honest summary of events, which they and the mainstream are unlikely to provide. Thread 🧵
1. Stoke-on-Trent
A group of men who looked of middle eastern ancestry assaulted a man who looked of anglo-saxon ancestry reportedly because of his race.
However, we can't be sure of the cause from this video alone.
This was followed by another assault reportedly carried out by the "Muslim Defence League" on two white men.
Apparently, the two men were attacked with hammers. Again, we can't verify exactly what caused it.
Dozens upon dozens of men who looked of middle Eastern ancestry were seen patrolling the streets with weapons.
These same men were seen shouting "allahu akbar" in a nearby park.
So at this point, it became pretty clear they're muslims.
Police were recorded telling them to discard their weapons at the local mosque.
The march that is presumed to have occurred because of the heinous murder of 3 young, beautiful girls or mass immigration (people will have had different reasons for attending) appeared peaceful in Stoke - at least initially.
2. Bristol
A man who looked of anglo-saxon ancestry assaulted a man who looked of African descent reportedly because of his race.
However, we can't be sure of the cause from this video alone.
People protesting the Southport murders/mass immigration (again we cannot be sure) gathered outside of a hotel, which reportedly houses a number of "asylum seekers", "refugees" or "economic migrants".
Outside that same hotel, a fight broke out after both sides launched cans of drink at each other.
It appears some of the counter protestors then assaulted a presumed neutral journalist attempting to film the event.
You can hear shouts of "fascist".
Elsewhere certain counter-protestors, thought to be members of antifa, harassed a reported Christian pastor near a shopping centre.
They can be heard talking about abortion.
People protesting were seen swearing at and goading counter protestors as police formed a line to separate the opposing groups.
3. Liverpool
This was where most of the horrific footage emerged but it appears the protest started off peaceful.
Police charged at the protestors, who then ran away to avoid a conflict.
Counter protestors turned up but skirmishes were reportedly avoided.
Here the protestors cheer as police ushered the counter protestors away.
At some point, they must have been close together as arguments were recorded.
Here you can see counter "anti-racist" protestors goading a protestor who looks like he is trying to talk them.
Some protestors reportedly marching because of the Southport murders/mass immigration (again we can't be sure) can then be seen pushing a policeman off his bike.
Some, now turning more violent, ripped down a stand handing out quarans.
Shouts of "our country, our country" can be heard.
So it's pretty clear some rioters were anti-Islamic.
Later that evening, it seems some of those same protestors started fully rioting.
This included looting.
Here they can be seen in a library, or possibly, a book store.
Then, they set alight to a number of bins.
The rioters can be heard shouting (I think):
"allah, allah, who the f*ck is allah"
Some of those same rioters, now masked, started letting off fireworks in the streets and reportedly aimed some at police.
4. Other notable highlights
Police in Stoke allow men who looked of middle eastern ancestry baring weapons to run past them as they attempt to cordon off a road.
Police in Blackpool set dogs on protestors.
We don't know if this bloke broke any laws or if this was part of an attempt to disperse crowds.
All in all, it's a mess.
It's clear there's violence committed by both sides, which doesn't help anyone but the government and those in favour of hate speech laws.
It also might be that the violent actions of a few have completely tainted the peaceful many. Clarity is needed.
He recently blew the whistle on Portsmouth City Council.
Why? Because senior officials tried to suppress news that an asylum seeker—housed at public expense—had been charged with r*pe.
The essential dets and peeps involved. Thread 🧵
It all began last week, when rumours that an asylum-seeker had committed a r*pe circulated online. In response, council officials held private briefings with various councillors and party leaders.
That’s when a senior officer contacted George directly. “She called me during the day and said, ‘George, I must make it very clear to you: you're not to discuss this with anyone,’” he recalled.
Casey’s rapid review has vindicated so many who, for years, were smeared as liars.
Now, it's clear they were right, particularly about the Home Office report...
Here’s a quick look at some of those who persistently dismissed and undermined the truth.
Thread 🧵
Nick Lowles of Hope Not Hate.
In a 2013 BBC interview:
"Sexual predators come from all backgrounds... That is why we need to be vigilant about not creating stereotypes around just Pakistani men..."
This "anti-fascist" censor previously advised the government.
The Guardian
In 2015, the paper villainised Katie Hopkins after she condemned Labour MP Simon Danczuk for raising a Pakistani flag in Rochdale, saying how inappropriate it was.
Baroness Casey has published her rapid review into grooming gangs.
It's 197 pages long.
Here's some of the major observations so far scanning through.
Thread 🧵
Systemic and Institutional Failures
“The policy and delivery landscape… requires strong leadership… But what emerges instead… is a repeating cycle: seminal moments of scandal and public outrage which lead to bursts of government focus and activity but no sustained improvement…”
Data Suppression
“We found that the ethnicity of perpetrators is shied away from and is still not recorded for two-thirds of perpetrators, so we are unable to provide any accurate assessment from the nationally collected data.”
