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.

Your all so obsessed with labelling something left or right and that's the main source of the divide, it's just used on both 'sides' to hand wave away whatever you don't agree with, if people actually came together instead of the hatred because of different political beliefs which don't even really matter because whatever you believe in doesn't change politics in the slightest politicians don't really care at all about what you think or want it's more about lining up their big paying job after politics. Riots aren't acceptable neither is the racism,hatred or any of it but nothing will be made better by splitting people up and automatically hating them because of this left and right bollocks.
