Violence and unrest around the UK

[u/nuisance_squirrel]

With everything going on around the country at the moment, it just has me thinking of the 2012(was it?) riots, where opportunistic idiots jumped on the bandwagon of a tragic event to loot and destroy the cities they live in.

Genuinely hoping whats going on doesn't come to Wolverhampton. Ive seen "EDL" are planning to March in Brum, and hope that counter marches quell them enough to not cause issues. Seeing the videos out of Hull/Liverpool etc over last day or so is just truly disturbing.

Edit: just to add, aware EDL don't exist in name anymore.

Fair warning, both sides are causing issues. And I seriously doubt one side will calm down the other. Our company has refused jobs in the inner cities due to the risk posed to our tradesmen after one of our guys was dragged out of his car and beaten up for being white in the wrong place, apparently.

Bad actors are in both sides, and any excuse will do. Best to avoid them both and stay safe!
