The right-wingers bought into the false narrative that the killer is a foreigner - an asylum seeker. The right-wingers proceeded to accost the police. In reality, the seventeen-year-old knife wielding killer is an English subject.

Countdown to Elon. 5 4 3 2 1

Next minute, total riot.

Can't make sense out of that.

Shame the UK police aren't more prone to using teargas and rubber bullets.

To recap: the youth who appeared in court this morning was born in the UK. One of the murder victims came from an immigrant family - her father from Portugal, her mother from Colombia, I think. The first Islamophobic riot targeted a mosque, after fake Russian news made up an Arabic name and claimed he got to Britain only a year ago. That was already known to be a lie by the time of that riot, but the news was full, for a day, of it being a lie before these hooligans (they chant the same "Eng-ger-land" chant that yobbish England football fans do) decided to riot in towns and cities unconnected with the murders, thinking that saying "Enough is Enough" somehow gives them an excuse.

The Guardian notes 'the angry scenes also included loud chants of “we want our country back” and “Oh Tommy Robinson”, referring to the rightwing activist.' Tommy Robinson is a thug and fraudster (he's spent time in prison for that), who has just fled the UK because, after he lost a libel case (falsely accusing an immigrant teenager), he continued to spread the lies about the teenager, making a film about it, and thus he is in contempt of the court order that told him to stop.

These are idiots who, in a spell of hot weather, think the best leisure activity is rioting. They are racist, and won't listen to the truth or reason.
