Anyway, this is boring now. I'm sorry you felt threatened.

Just to be clear. I’m not threatened (proof is I haven’t changed my views of posting about the matter). But I’m well aware of your effort to manipulate the conversation and the many ways you steer it where you want it to go. My opinions are my own.

The police have now arrested more than 1,000 people involved in the racially motivated violence that began at the end of last month. On Tuesday, the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) confirmed that 575 people had been charged, and warned that there were “hundreds” more to come in a crackdown that is likely to last for weeks to come.

Sounds like they are on the ball, good to hear because there is no room for racism anywhere.

This is the real two-tier justice. The wealthy people who incited the riots are getting off Scot free while the working-class morons who believed them are now in prison.

A businesswoman accused of sparking the Southport riots is no longer being investigated by the police.

Bernadette Spofforth was alleged to be one of the first people to share the incorrect name of the suspected knifeman in the attack, in which three young girls killed.

She said she was arrested on Aug 8 on suspicion of publishing written material to stir up racial hatred and false communications.

The 55-year-old had wrongly claimed on X, formerly Twitter, that the suspect in the killing of three girls outside a Taylor Swift dance class was an asylum seeker who had recently arrived in the UK by boat.

The false accusation, promoted across social media by far-Right accounts and Russian bots, was blamed for sparking the riots that spread across the country.
