I’ll stick with my prediction, this will go on until we have a week of bad weather.

Re: Uk Riots and Protests (2024)
The biggest riot today appears to be Plymouth where the rioters are targeting police. 3 injured so far.
I am beginning to winder, if this escalates, if the army does need to be called in.
Also another reporter on what is happening in Birmingham: https://x.com/JaneRockHouse/status/1820560032972324895

Why don't you think the police will get involved?

I was referring to the content
Quote:
Naveed Sadiq showed us a WhatsApp group he had organised of over 1,000 Muslims in Birmingham who were determined to stand up to the far-right.
But he says he's been trying to calm the anger and urge his community to be peaceful.
The message from older members of the Muslim community to younger men is "don't take the law into your own hands" - but Naveed adds: "Hopefully the police will take care of us but if they don't we will obviously be willing to take care of ourselves."
|
There’s Muslim gangs armed to the teeth in Birmingham going around attacking any white person they find.
Which Sky saw, including a knife wielding muslim that tried to slash their tyres
And they hope they’ll be protected by the police…………laughable

Either BBC or Sky showed the actual video of them trying to slash the tyre.

The same reason there weren't any police in Birmingham last night.
