Always summertime, we aren't good with warm weather. A signal to go out drink all day, get sunburnt kick off a few fireworks and do whatever the balaclava'd folks in the distant background say, but are too stupid to cover their own faces. They can't rememer what it's all about, but it's something to do till the footy season starts.

In the same way that French wine companies are investing in English vine yards because of global warming, I wonder if increased temperatures will lead to more of a French-style frequency to street protests? Let's hope not.

Fortunately, the riots this year to date seem far smaller than those that occurred in 2011 with over 3,000 arrests made back then.
We are getting more reports that the situation in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, is getting worse.
Earlier today, both pro and anti-immigration demonstrators gathered outside the Holiday Inn Express on the outskirts of the town. Here's what we know so far:
- The atmosphere there has "turned ugly", our reporter who was there says. He counted at least eight broken hotel windows
- Protesters are throwing things at the hotel and a road outside was blocked by a group opposing asylum seekers
- Wooden fence panels and glass bottles have also been thrown at police
- Stand Up to Racism demonstrators have left the area, but hundreds of people who oppose asylum seekers are still there
- The day had started peacefully, with nothing more than the two opposing groups shouting at each other
We don't know if the hotel is housing asylum seekers, nor if it has been evacuated. We called the Holiday Inn Express several times, but no-one picked up.

Yes, it was booming holiday town until this happened, I had two weeks planned in early September. Will have scrap that now and see if there’s any availability in Mexborough.
