This violence is not exceptional or limited to the actions of extreme individuals It's the direct result of years of mainstreaming led by mainstream media and politicians who have legitimised racism and other forms of exclusion Arrests will not stop this spiral www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The Guardian...the fucking Guardian, managing to 'reasonable concerns' wash this more than the Eastern Daily Press which is basically a Reform Loyalist paper. There was no link to the proposed housing refugees at the ex army base. It was not a protest. It was a riot/pogrom.

They attacked a journalist. There is zero basis to give these people any credit as right to free speech. If you attack a journalist your Article 10 rights are void as per Article 17 ECHR.

Yes, stoking racism. It's disguised as being about "immigration," but as the guy says in this report, “They don’t want the white man any more, they want to swap us.”

They should have arrested all the ringleaders, not just the ones who injured the officers. The crime was attacking people's homes and racist violence. Not against the police but against other residents who have been legitimately housed there by the authorities. Shockingly inadequate policing.

My point is the issue is not limited to those who participated in the pogrom but those who have incited it for years, including in mainstream circles Arresting the ringleaders would not solve the problem if our mainstream discourse doesn't change The issue is not policing but the lack of democracy
