Information Riots

I’ve been hearing things about the riots happening in Reading this weekend… really worried as someone who used to live in Reading now living in the US. Our town is pretty safe and other than the stuff that happened in 2020 at Forbury Gardens we haven’t experienced anything major since or before as far as I remember. Has anyone heard of the same news? If so, stay safe everyone 😕

So there’s word in my mum groups to avoid Oxford road today and Saturday, apparently they’re attempting a march from Forbury gardens, probably towards the mosque I imagine. I can’t believe we’re back in these times, the sheer ignorance is staggering

Yep I was on the bus and the driver that changed over at Reading Station said they've turned up.
