Ah Nigel, it seems that you have some questions for the government. If only there was some forum where the government could make a statement and questions be asked of the government by elected representatives of the people…

Re: Update: Southport attack, three children now dead.
 

There was a statement yesterday in the commons from the Home Secretary about this. He could have turned up and asked those questions then, as an MP, rather than skip it and do a video.

Re: Update: Southport attack, three children now dead.
 

And if he had turned up would he have been called? Would it have actually got answers or a scripted “it’s too soon to say”, “don’t want to prejudice an investigation”, “I’m speaking to X, Y and Z later today and I’ll update the House in due course”.

The last place he will get answers is the floor of the House of Commons.

It isn't PMQs so the chance of being called was quite good. He may well have got 'it's too soon to say' because investigations take time but the question would be on the record and it's the perfect forum for him to ask it.

Re: Update: Southport attack, three children now dead.
 

It could well be "a fair and legitimate question", as he puts it, but it's not one he should be asking of, or suggesting to, his many thousands of social media followers. He should be asking the police themselves. All this video serves to do is fuel gossip, speculation and, potentially, disinformation.

He seeks to undermine confidence in the criminal system, the result of which we saw an example of on the streets of Southport last night. Shame on him.

Interesting article in the Times about how the "protests" are organised.

Looking back at this statement now, what are your thoughts ?

Re: Update: Southport attack, three children now dead.
 

Can someone please tell me why or what they are rioting about? I just don't get it.

It's sunny, nice to be out, footy isn't on , need some entertainment. Good excuse to get the Engerland top on...

Re: Update: Southport attack, three children now dead.
 

In a nutshell , unsubstantiated rumours (since proven gibberish) been used by a group of tools to further their agenda in the name of the horrible incident that occurred

TL:DR *******s being *******s

Agreed and everytime sir kid Starver opens his mouth he annoys a section of society that probably didn't vote labour.

Looking at what is on the streets today in Manchester and Blackpool it makes me question if the Neandertals did indeed die out.

The video of the guy in Hartlepool who gets his arse bitten by the police dog is hysterical

Re: Update: Southport attack, three children now dead.
 

I feel sorry for the poor dog :).
