Anyhoo, Lucy Connolly is the example.
Let's hope that a few cells are cleared and in a few weeks everyone who has incited the terror against innocent women and kids have a few months away from their families to contemplate their decisions.

what are you even wittering on about now?
If you're using your imagination as a final defence of thugs terrorising innocent people then maybe you've made a wrong choice somewhere.

Yeah, but needs much more than those doing the firebombing. Social media is full of people justifying, egging on and calling for action. They all know what that action means and they're happy to see homes firebombed and kids threatened. Those people need to realise there are consequences.
Meanwhile the Filthy beheader is getting a nice shower , clean clothes and breakfast ffs
Stop letting illegals in , or it will only get worse and spread to porcys nice area 
Vile lefty deflection as per every time these atrocities take place.
Do the one or two lefty village idiots on here just comment their stirring deflections for attention in their empty lives?
Just for a reaction.

Yes, including the governments that have finally made people revolt. They have

Kids getting terrorised in parks and outside schools is ok then ?
Lapsy said he was a nationalist. Many millions in England are, but have been ignored
for years and portrayed by government ministers and media as backward rabble.
'A nationalist is a person who strongly advocates for the interests, culture, and independence of their nation, believing their country should be self-governing and put first.'

Just posted this on the horse racing thread, so I'll post it here as well.
I'm very confused. The UK politicians and media are now highlighting today the problem for the UK mainland with the Common Travel Area and the potential for migrants to arrive in the UK through Ireland.
It's just that in Ireland for the last 2/3 years it is now accepted that a significant, if not the majority of, migrants, arriving into Ireland, are coming from the UK. Is it one or the other, or a bit of both?

Clearly the genesis of the issue is the EU, and apparent ease with which illegals can traverse it.
I don't know how many illegals go to the EU from the UK. I doubt it is close to the number that are going in the opposite direction.

Helen Mcentee said about 80% go via NI to the Republic.That ballpark figure stands up by volunteers agreeing that 70/80% of asylum seekers have said in Dublin they have come through the North.

A two-month-old baby was among those rescued from the violence which engulfed Belfast last night, local police have revealed.
Rioters set fire to homes, buses and foreign businesses after an anti-immigration demonstration spiralled out of control in Belfast yesterday evening.
Chief Constable Jon Boutcher told the BBC this morning: ‘Last night we rescued so many families. Taking families – a baby as young as two months – out of their address to safety, taking them to police stations.
He stressed: ‘These weren’t just families from ethnic minority communities, these were families from across communities that were caught up in this vile behaviour last night. There is absolutely no excuse for it.’
Well done everybody. Well done.

Wonderful disinformation again.
My hunch is that it was a reaction to someone having their eyes cut out, and attempted beheading on the street the night before.

There is nothing that an illegal immigrant/asylum seeker could do that would push pineapple into thinking allowing people from alien cultures to live freely in the UK isn't a good idea.
If gouging a man's eyes out, and trying to carve his head off, in public isn't enough, I'm not sure what would be.

Just like blm that you supported I suppose.
For me this was about the savage filmed trying to behead someone after cutting their eyes out. For me the violence wouldn't have happened last night without that act, otherwise.

And it would have happened whatever race the savage happened to be. In my opinion.
It was Northern Ireland, lapsy. Anyone with a few brain cells to knock about knew what was going to happen, an inevitability as a result of what the savage was filmed doing. No talking head, or cowardly politician was going to be able to prevent it from happening.
Do you remember the blm riots and all of the liberals across media and social telling them to stop? I don't, either.
The lefties and the media marvelled at the riots back then.
Lieutenant Colonel Mark Teeton's attacker Anthony Esan pleaded guilty to attempted murder and possessing two bladed weapons in January.
A uniformed army officer who was repeatedly stabbed with two knives told his wife that his attacker had tried to "cut my head off like Lee Rigby", a court has heard.
Lieutenant Colonel Mark Teeton, who was targeted in the street near Brompton Barracks in Chatham, Kent, in July 2024, told Maidstone Crown Court on Monday he was grateful to be alive.
The assailant Anthony Esan, 25, pleaded guilty to attempted murder and possessing two bladed weapons in January.
Lt Col Teeton tearfully told the court during the first day of an expected three-day sentencing hearing that he was "forever in gratitude" to the "heroes" who came to his aid during the attack in Sally Port Gardens.
The assault left him with a large wound to the right side of his neck, stab wounds to the front and back of his chest and abdomen, his lower abdomen, right groin, right upper arm and left thigh.
He said: "I still relive the incident in my mind; I actually think it is a blessing that I was unconscious for much of it as it means that I am unable to remember a large part of being attacked."
Lt Col Teeton, a serving officer for 26 years who has been on two tours in Iraq and two tours in Afghanistan, praised those who helped him, including his wife Eileen, for their "courage".
"They are all heroes, and I am forever in gratitude to them," he said.
Wife stares down husband's attacker
Mrs Teeton stared down at Esan in court as she described how she had rushed to help a soldier on the ground before realising it was her husband.
"I watched horrified by his continued savage attack, and realised it was my husband on the ground," she said.
In her victim impact statement, Mrs Teeton said her husband asked her in hospital if people at work knew what he "tried to do to me".
When she asked what Esan had tried to do, he replied: "Cut my head off. Like Lee Rigby."
The off-duty soldier, 25, was killed by extremists in 2013 near the Royal Artillery Barracks in southeast London.
Prosecutor Alison Morgan KC called the 2024 attack "vicious and deliberate", and told the court that Lt Col Teeton had been targeted because of his appearance as a soldier.
In the lead up to the attack, Esan had conducted online searches on knives, a terrorist attack that happened in West Africa and searched "Woolwich soldier murdered", which Ms Morgan said was a reference to the 2013 attack.
Ms Morgan said Esan had asked Lt Col Teeton if he could borrow his phone because his moped had broken down and he needed to call for assistance.
When Lt Col Teeton was distracted, Eras used two knives to inflict multiple stab wounds.
Esan had made several failed attempts to join the British Army, including in 2021 when he was rejected for "psychotic disorder" and eczema, after he was reported the year before to mental health services that he was hearing voices.

So are all the Palestine actions supporters now against violence and criminal damage?
76. For the offence of attempted murder, I sentence you to life imprisonment with a
minimum term of 7 years and 162 days and I direct, under the provisions of section 45A
of the Mental Health Act 1983, that in the light of the psychiatric evidence, namely
Professor Blackwood, Dr Nabi and Dr Alcock, the criteria for a hospital order are met;
and so instead of being removed to and detained in a prison, you will be re-admitted to
and detained at Broadmoor High Security Hospital. You will be subject to the special
restrictions set out in section 41 of the Mental Health Act 1983.

Is it seriously being argued that riots in Northern Ireland happened because of Putin bots and facebook posts 
Northern Ireland has the most experienced rioters in Europe, it's basically a craft handed down from father to son.
The streets are still run by the groups that ran them 30 years ago and riots start or stop without any regard to outside opinion.

Yeah, but needs much more than those doing the firebombing. Social media is full of people justifying, egging on and calling for action. They all know what that action means and they're happy to see homes firebombed and kids threatened. Those people need to realise there are consequences.
Porcupine, who starts threads saying prison is stupid and there are too many people in them (without ever specifying which categories of crime he wants to exempt from jail) has finally found a group he wants banged up:
people posting stuff on the internet that he doesn't like.

I think telling others to go and terrorise kids meets the threshold of prison for me. Nicking a leg of lamb doesn't. It's really not that hard.

The big hypocrisy is the rioters are responding to violence with even more violence.

Anyone remember the Brixton and Toxteth riots back in 81 ?
Largely caused by a certain demographic not being happy with the increase in "stop and search" and alleged racism by the old bill.
150 buildings torched and hundreds of coppers injured in Liverpool alone.
No social media then.
But what was the outcome ? Politicians actually took a bit of notice for once, especially Heseltine, and Liverpool began a regeneration.
Tarzan was subsequently awarded the Freedom Of Liverpool in 2012, bet that pleased PoP
Today when such protests/riots occur, Starmer can't wait to fast track the proles to the clink (but only if they are the mythical Far Right" of course).
Anything but address the reasons why the protests are taking place. Basically playing the men rather than the ball. It's sickening.

A bit more recent
Word of the violence spreads and attracts more people to the scene, including those who were just curious.
"My 14-year-old brought me her phone with a picture of a burning car and said: 'Mum, that's on Tottenham High Road.'
"I said to my daughter: 'Do you want to go there, and see what's going on?' So we did, on our bikes.
"I went into the corner of a little shop because I didn't want anything to blow up and burn me up. We were like nurses because all the wounded were coming to us. I saw guys with their hands sliced open, skin hanging off.
"I took them ice water, I washed their wounds, and told those that are not that injured, 'go back and fight' because I didn't care.
"I think the policemen deserve a bloody good hiding. They have no right to go and kill no-one."

"I think the policemen deserve a bloody good hiding. They have no right to go and kill no-one."
Conducted by the London School of Economics and the Guardian, the social research project Reading the Riots interviewed 270 people who were involved in the disorder. The interviews were done anonymously to allow those involved to speak more freely.
On the afternoon of Saturday 6 August 2011, about 300 people walked from London's Broadwater Farm estate to Tottenham police station.
They are seeking "justice" and "answers" over the death of a local man called Mark Duggan, who had been shot dead by police two days earlier.
"We went down to the protest with the family. We went down there to talk to one of the head police officers and they said it would be a few hours.
"Ended up, we were waiting for about five hours. Then one of the head police comes out and says, 'the police can't deal with this right now', and we have to come back another day.
"People started to stand in the middle of the road to stop the traffic to show them we're serious, that we're not going to go away.
"I remember myself personally lying in the middle of the street spread-eagled, so traffic's not passing here.
"I lie down in the road, then others joined me. It got to about maybe 8pm, and I remember the chief of police, whoever it was, he wasn't coming out again.
"And I thought - we go to war."
What followed was the most severe civil unrest the UK had seen for a generation.
For five nights, London was engulfed by fire and violence.
The uprising spread across England, including to the cities of Birmingham, Salford, Manchester, Liverpool and Nottingham.
Some rioters described the affected areas as "combat zones"
At the end of the rioting, five people had died, including a 68-year-old man who was attacked while attempting to stamp out a litter-bin fire in Ealing.
Dozens of people were left homeless and more than 200 people were injured, the vast majority of them police officers.
There was no government inquiry into the causes and consequences of the riots.

I mean, as arguments go that is inane.
Going back some 45 years for a bit of whataboutery. Saying the govt took a bit of notice. Ha! The riots were followed by the Chancellor calling for managed decline of the city and the strangling of the docks over the following decade. Liverpool's population declined by about 15% over Thatcher's reign. Heseltine was the outsider who fought against his own government after he saw the conditions here. Hardly "especially". And the reason for the riots, the police brutality of black people, were apparently fixed by the Garden Festival now.
And if you want to pinpoint a sole reason for the regeneration of the city, such as it is, it's the EU. We received millions from Objective 1 funding. Liverpool One, the cruise terminal, the revamp of the airport - all due to the EU.

"It was an absolute warzone. I walked up there, saw about five youths, all faces covered up. They set a wheelie bin on fire and threw it into the riot police.
"I saw about 16 men, all in grey tracksuits. They came from other parts and said: 'Today, we are putting down the postcode war. Today we're here to help you.'
"And I call them soldiers. And they stood united together on the frontline, pelting the police. And that was really, really nice."
"Everyone was scared to start it off. So, someone dashed a stone at a Maplin's window.
"And then it all kicked off. It was like, 'I'm going to get four TVs - well, I'm going to get five.' It was no drama, no stress, everyone had the power. Everyone had the strength.
"The police weren't in control. We had the power."
"I actually found this iPod and as I picked it up, this girl was looking at me.
"I just gave it to her. I went in one of the shops took a load of cigarettes, and actually gave it away to an old woman.
"Only kept one packet for myself, a pack of 40."

"Everyone just clicked and said, 'yeah, this is our chance'. Do what we have to do. Cause mayhem. It felt like we were on a leash for years and we've come off that leash.
"Every type of person was there. There was some guy, a white guy, in shorts, flip-flops and a straw hat.
"It was really enjoyable, actually. At one stage, it was like a street party. I just went down there as a spectator. I really did.
"Lots of us went along, just to watch, but found ourselves caught up in it."
"I went to see how they were getting things, and they were sliding underneath the shutters and that.
"So I think to myself, 'I'm not getting on my hands and knees to get no goods'.
"So I came up with a cunning plan, and I stayed outside. Waited for someone to come out with something that I wanted - and I just took it from them. The car was round the corner and I just put it in the car, come back and do the same thing."
"It felt like a battle as there was police against us, and for the first time, we felt like we could actually take them on.
"Every rock we could get hold of, we were throwing at them. Stones, chairs, coins, shoes... anything goes."

"Everybody had matches, fuel, petrol bombs. Because we wanted to see everything on fire. To show them, 'what can you do now? There's nothing you can do'".
"I saw McDonald's get set on fire, and then it was completely set alight, and I've petrol-bombed it, even though it was set alight. And I felt good."

"What made everything stop? Easy. The shops ran out of stuff.
"Currys went instantly. All the phone shops went instantly."
"At least I can tell my kids when I'm older, and my grandkids, 'I've been involved in a riot'. Nice little story for them, isn't it? You know, like World War Two and that with my great-grandads.
"I do not regret it. If it was to happen again, I would happily join in. Anything against the police, I would happily join in.
"Everybody feels happy that it happened. Everybody."
"I wasn't there for the robbing. I was there for revenge.
"I'll always remember the day that we had the police and the government scared. For once they were living on the edge, they felt how we felt. They felt threatened by us.
"That was the best three days of my life."

There was no official government inquiry after the riots, but there were reports by other bodies.
Opportunism, social deprivation, discontent with the police and unemployment were all mentioned, but a single overwhelming cause for what happened over those five days in August was not pinpointed.
Over the days that followed, the police were roundly criticised. The Met later acknowledged that its inability to monitor social media meant it could not get ahead of events.

Just giving facts. Please do tell me how managed decline and killing the docks was so good for the city, while the clearly findable evidence of Objective 1 funding and what it did was a nothingburger.
Sorry for any feelings bruised.

No, not whataboutery.
Some people are claiming in June 2026 it's all down to a few people controlling social media.
It's stands to reason that you look back to previous examples, in order to expose the absolute bull sh11t people come out with.

We received millions from Objective 1 funding. Liverpool One, the cruise terminal, the revamp of the airport - all due to the EU.
And where did 'EU money' come from? Britain was a net contributor.
If you gave someone £1,000 and they spent £600 of it decorating your house and kept the rest for themselves, would you be grateful?

That's the point tobes. Britain was making all this money but wasn't investing in Liverpool. Can argue whether that's right or wrong.
But dixie was talking about the regeneration and putting it at Maggie's feet.
I'm just pointing out that the strongest regeneration came from EU funding. Where I'm from (the north end, close to Goodison) you couldn't move for things like fixed up roads and street lighting with little banners on proclaiming how the Objective 1 funding paid for it. We went from managed decline to actual regeneration. Others might object about how their contributions were being spent and they're welcome to do so. But that's the main reason for so much of the regeneration of the city in my lifetime.

And well done to the politicians and enablers who brought it a bout, well done.
Today the Progressives and their Useful Idiot supporters are pretending that their insane "Open Borders" and "Indefinite Leave to Remain" policies have had nothing to do with psychopaths attempting to behead citizens on the streets of Belfast.
Last week they were trying to pretend that DEI/Anti-White Racism Training had nothing to do with the murder of Henry Nowak and the abject police handling of it.
My God these sick charlatans have got some blood on their hands. Rivers of it.

No inquiry needed to find out why people just rioted in NI. There's a video clip of a Sudanese immigrant trying to saw someone's head off, sitting on him after gouging his eyes out.

Yeah, you might even want to check my OP on my Russia thread from yesterday. Some of us have been way ahead on this for years.

Don't flatter yourself PoP, your lame sarcasm rarely hits the spot.
Try actually having a decent exchange with people, rather than sneering at them in your usual pompous manner.

Going back some 45 years for a bit of whataboutery. Saying the govt took a bit of notice. Ha! The riots were followed by the Chancellor calling for managed decline of the city and the strangling of the docks over the following decade. Liverpool's population declined by about 15% over Thatcher's reign. Heseltine was the outsider who fought against his own government after he saw the conditions here. Hardly "especially". And the reason for the riots, the police brutality of black people, were apparently fixed by the Garden Festival now
utter sh1te from porcypie
the chancellor calling for managed decline? id like to see the evidence for that
the harbour board and the unions were utterly incompetent and unwilling to change in the face of huge competition from asia in particular who undercut them at every turn and they simply would not change anything. working practices were a joke and many dockers would cover for each other when they wanted a sneaky day off and management were too scared of a strike to do anything about it. they were equally culpable for the unmanaged decline
although we did get some very trendy bang&olufsen stereos from a leaky container. in fact, the whole estate did. so there were some benefits
lpools population had been declining (im one of the departed) for a while but its all about fatcher for you, never about the virus of socialism that infected the city and brought it top its knees. wanchors like you sit it out because youve been on the state payroll for life and make no concessions or suffer any hardship because you are feather-bedded against reality
lpool wasnt a red city for a long time and didnt elect a labour mp until 1923, 20 years after labour heartlands in the north and scotland. it was working class and tory, an oxymoron to a moron

What happened ?
What happened ?
Obviously i was referring to Pop BF
From memory i could swear the Albert Dock had huge regeneration in the 80s along with the opening of Tate Liverpool at the end of the decade.
Doubt the EU paid for that as they didn't exist then

spent zillions for little benefit to the 'community'
albeert dock is a relic. they didnt consider getting there. you have to cross a 5 lane highway and its really quite dull. like all state planning they just dont get it
i walked in and out of the tate within 10 seconds when i was confronted with a mural 'liverpools shame' about the slave trade. fro

Anyone remember the Brixton and Toxteth riots back in 81 ?
Largely caused by a certain demographic not being happy with the increase in "stop and search" and alleged racism by the old bill.
I remember.
The increase in "stop and search" , I've remembered that because you mention it.
At it's height, before it kicked off, I was stopped and searched 3 times on the 400 yard walk from my flat to Woolworths.
Crazy times, I doubt you got a handle on how insane it was.

Used the beeb, but there are literally dozens of sources quoting this.
The rest of it's just the usual cr@p and boring name-calling after a drink that you get from mitolo sadly, but amusing to see someone from Liverpool manage to not keep up with the news and still consider himself informed.

Margaret Thatcher was urged to abandon Liverpool to "managed decline" by her chancellor, newly-released National Archives files have revealed. /\
