Why do the “police” get a pass?

They stand with those who sign their paychecks and not the people.

The stupid police will find out, only when it’s too late, that the muzzies will slit their throats rather than pay the taxes to support them.

The people protesting are the ones who have to live with the immigrants raping their daughters, stabbing their children, stealing from them, and getting housing/medical care, etc. first (sound familiar?) The elites who do not have to live amongst the depravity they imported are calling the protestors names. As if wanting your culture and family to be safe is a crime. I feel sorry for the police because they are in a no-win situation, they were sent to protect the immigrants causing the problems. Reminds me of how the military was sent into Northern Ireland to protect the Catholics from Protestant abuse but then became seen as oppressors by the very ones they were there to protect.

The police. It’s a no-brainer.

Rioting solves no problems. Think “BLM.” What good did all of that do? Zip. Zero. Nada.

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait.
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show.
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud.
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date.
That the Saxon began to hate.

Sometimes the only way to get a government to pay attention to your grievances, is the prospect of riots if they don’t.

The working class can only tolerate so much persecution and exploitation. Decades of anti white, anti Christian, anti taxpayer, anti working class policies are coming home to roost. To change their Uniparty this must be a revolutionary movement. I pray for day American working class individuals begin to stand up for our rights.

Note “false claims” etc.

One of the reasons - or the big reason - that Brits are so angry is that there was absolutely no information about the killer for 4 days after the attack as the government struggled to figure out the most advantageous way to present it.

They had the body and the ID immediately. But it took 4 days to indentify him publicly?

Naturally people were going to be looking into it, and a news source (independent, I believe) identified him as Ali something or another, a Syrian.

Obviously, that turned out to be incorrect, so with very parsed words, the government identified him as “from Cardiff.”

So now they say he’s a second generation African immigrant from an African Christian family, and had actually appeared in some kind of ad or show on British TV.

In other words, they would have known immediately, and it sounds like they could have thrown the blame on Christians. Note: nobody says that the killer himself is a Christian, just that his parents are.

So why the delay and what are they hiding?

This is what has made the Brits furious: the immediate government goal was not to find the killer, but to protect him because they thought he might be an illegal and/or a Muslim .

The globalist elitist UK prime Minister just called all the people of the UK who are upset about the immigration and the murderous Muslim thugs right wing extremists. How do you like them apples? Instead of healing his nation he divided them even further …now let’s see how much courage the people are going to be able to muster to continue their outrage! The whole damn world is experiencing chaos in the hands of the globalist communist Marxist elitists and very soon our nation too will be in the same boat as the UK, Ireland, India, Israel and Venezuela!

> Rioting solves no problems. <

Sometimes it changes the mindset of the bosses at the top. It makes them think twice before doing something that might provoke a riot in the future.

The gay Stonewall riot of 1969 is a good example of that. It caused New York City to back off on enforcing laws against homosexual behavior.

I think even the BLM riots had an effect. No cop wants to be the next Derek Chauvin. And it can be argued that the riots were one reason Chauvin got the long sentence that he did.

If the police stand with criminals and enemies, breaking their faces is an fantastic solution.

It's impossible to support the police since they are following orders from the corrupt Starmer government.

It's disgraceful Sky News describes the protests as far-right and anti-immigrant because they don't want immigrants (or their offspring) that won't assimilate into the common culture and end up murdering young children.
