  1. "It’s not only the police who are institutionally racist, but the entire system. Islamophobia has long been used as a racist code by mainstream politicians. They cannot overtly appeal to a hatred of Black and Brown people, but they can use Islam as a proxy for race" – George Monbiot

  3. "As Rusi explains, the UK has a genuine two-tier justice system. It treats some people – white, non-Muslim – as though they act from blind anger, and others – Brown, Muslim – as coordinated terrorists, even when they commit the same crimes." – George Monbiot

  5. "the riots have been prosecuted as though they were random thuggery, although they emerge from a long and organised campaign of hatred directed towards asylum seekers, immigrants and Muslims" – George Monbiot

  7. This is good reporting by the Times.

    "What motivated the rioters? From Tommy Robinson to Facebook groups"

    t seems pretty clear that social media played a large part in motivating the rioters and seeding the riots. Question is: what should/could/can we do about it?

  9. #ukpol #FarRightRiots #farright #EDL Ok peeps this from an old timer. The Sunday Papers (incl. the 'Lefty' #Observer) would have you believe that there is no EDL anymore. Not true. They're canny enough to drop 'labels' but they're still the same core. Worryingly the ultras are ex-#Sovereign-Identity. Another group from the dark side. Be aware, stay safe. Black sunglasses and a yellow vest a dead giveaway!

  11. You know who else should be on trial for the UK’s far-right riots? Elon Musk

    Direct guilt sits with those who brought violence to our streets, but their hatred was inflamed by lies spread on X

  15. "Starmer choosing not to use the “I-word” is far from surprising. As my research has repeatedly shown, few politicians are willing to do so. Acknowledging that Islamophobia exists would mean having to do something about it. And as we know, this has never happened"
    Chris Allen, University of Leicester

    Refusing to call out Islamophobia has emboldened the far right – and the current violence is the result

  17. A joyous account of the huge antifascist protests around England last night which ensured few of the far right rioters dared show their faces.

  19. Remember everyone:

    If you're a climate protestor planning a peaceful protest blocking a road it's 5 years jail.

    If you're a fascism enthusiast who throws bricks at the police or punches them in the face while drunk off your head at a riot it's 20 months - 3 years jail.

  20. Ich halte es für eine schlechte Idee, #Trump, #Merz, #Lindner, #Höcke oder deren Fans in der Öffentlichkeit und nur um der #Demütigung willen zu demütigen.

    Während die These zu steil ist, dass Trump beschloss #Präsident zu werden, nachdem sich Präsident #Obama auf dem White House Correspondents Dinner 2011 öffentlich über ihn lustig machte, ist doch klar, dass ein Mensch oder eine Gruppe von Menschen, wenn sie gedemütigt werden, nicht zur #Tagesordnung übergehen, sondern auf eine Art #Wiedergutmachung hinarbeiten, zumal wenn sie die Mittel dafür haben.

    Und wie diese Gutmachung aussieht, kann ich mir gut vorstellen, wenn ich an die #Bauernproteste oder die #FarRightRiots in #England denke.

  21. With all the racist far-right violence going on, I'm pretty pissed off at how many businesses are making no effort whatsoever to check on their employees of colour or offer them the chance to WFH when the nature of their jobs would allow it. Not that surprised though. #FarRightRiots

  23. "I have a settled life here. I have a girlfriend, and a career in the NHS I love, and I’m on pre-settled immigration status. I don’t know what the future holds. But with all this hatred, I’m having doubts about staying in the UK. If these riots continue then that’ll be an even stronger consideration"

  24. They wanted their moment in the sun and now they’re getting their day in court. Looks like there’ll be plenty of time for regret too. It can’t come soon enough.

  25. I hope more brands stay away from Musk, given his role inflaming the UK riots and racial tensions and outrageous claim that 'civil war' is inevitable in the UK
