Might help people with context if the OP stated the actual source of the post.
Since this was lifted from a post I made on the stabbing thread I’ll post, as it might provide context.

It’s a post on Substack by Matthew Goodwin, professor of politics in the School of Politics and International Relations at the University of Kent.

Hopefully the link will work.

OP copies & pastes a Matt Goodwin substack. Matt Goodwin is a university lecturer who has travelled from leafy academia to full blown far right agitprop stirrer. He now sits in the same category of social arsonists along side Tice, Oakeshott, Farage, Tommy ten names, Crafty Grimes & all the other grifters, fomenting unrest, inciting violence, pretending to love the country while hating it in plain sight.

And it works, here we are on page two of a thread about rioting & up to now, no one's thought to question the source the op lifted. They rely on supine acceptance & find it by the bucket load and before you can say legitimate concerns, our vulnerable children are being protected by pissed up patriots burning down police statiions.

Nail on head.

Looking at the “list” wtf have most (if not all) of those got to do with far right thugs rioting?

They’re just random things involving brown people.

What has the prisoner release got to do with anything?
It's just a sign of losing control. If we had 500,000 empty prisons waiting I'd say "Let's lock up all the rioters." but the reality is they all know most of them aren't going to end up inside.

So Lack of prison space is one of the things of that list that I'd totally defend it's definitely relevant.

And I'm not saying we should triple the prisons budget, there's not the money for that. Merely that it's another indicator that civilised people are losing control.

On July 15th, we learned London’s Metropolitan Police had not solved a SINGLE petty crime -burglary, car theft, phone theft- in three years, across 166 areas.
is this true? I mean it's hardly surprising given the auto resolution of any report and subsequent issuing of a reference number, but surely they accidentally solved just 1?
What the fk? hehe

So the issue is the social arsonists and the race baiting grifters?

Jolly good. Nothing to see here. Move along and don’t forget to get your face scanned on the way through.

Brilliant that’ll sort it.

I didn't even read the list. It was one of the off topic posts polluting the Southport stabbings thread. It had a timeline of riots so I nicked it. (And said so.)

Would've been nice if you'd have acknowledged the person who actually did produce that list.

Yup. But given how much time it's eaten up this morning I wish I'd written my own bloody timeline, it would have been quicker in the long run. This was supposed to be diverting the dross from a thread I'm following not creating a new thread of dross that I can't resist clicking on. frown

Quite seriously why not? I bet it's way cheaper to run prisons in Rwanda than here. It's not like we don't need the land for other things.

It makes me wonder if we could stymie these riots by temporarily banning the sale of lager. Just a 2-3 day injuction, enough time for the oiks to sober up.

Real ale will still be available.

Just what we need, folks taking to the street to Morris Dance and play Skittles. All of a sudden riots don't seem so bad.

The OP has form for regurgitating piss and presenting it as fact

eg. from the other thread etc.

So the elephant in the room on this grubby little thread is why are there no examples of “white British” or whatever the patriots would call them doing bad stuff on “the list”?

It’s literally as if someone has gone out of their way to totally ignore that and only look for crimes committed by people of colour.

It would be great if you could provide an equivalent list of examples of white british people doing bad stuff. I'm sure there are loads to choose from.

You could look at it as your contribution to cleaning up the grubbiness, and it might make for a more balanced discussion.

Look in any paper any town any day and take your pick.

Just something about when it’s black people of Muslims where it’s utter catnip and people even have special little lists.

But whatever you call it don’t call it racism.
