“Those participating in disorder were not policed more strongly because of their supposed political views but because they were throwing missiles, assaulting police officers and committing arson.”

The Independent · Report hits back at ‘disgraceful’ accusations of two-tier policing after summer riots
Replied in thread
Heh! It's pure egotism.
Which makes me wonder whether going down in history with the #TrumpCrash hashtag attached might actually have something to do with it. Like the #FarageRiots hashtag.
It really could be that level of stupid vanity.
Six months after the anti-immigrant riots across (mostly) England (#FarageRiots), the Institute of Race Relations has just published a kind of interim statement on a year-long research project. The authors expect to publish the full results later this year.
===
Interim findings:
On racially-motivated violence
- Racially-motivated violence inflicted on communities clearly mirrored dominant political and media statements, including slogans, such as ‘stop the boats’ and ‘taking our country back’. It was also infected by far-right claims about two-tier justice, with claims such as ‘you’re protecting them while they target kids’ and ‘nonce protectors’.
- Racially-motivated violence included organised attempts to attack mosques, set fire to buildings with migrants inside, and opportunistic attacks on individuals from racialised communities. Attacks were accompanied by threats to kill and calls for mass deportations and the public identification of buildings and community resources accessed by migrants and refugees.
On the response of the criminal justice system
- The courts, with a few exceptions, have failed to acknowledge the full extent of the racial dimension within the violence. The official position from government, that the rioting was evidence of ‘thuggery’, and ‘violent disorder’ existing ‘across the ideological spectrum’, has been reproduced in prosecution and sentencing.[iii]
- One-in-five of those prosecuted (in the cases studied) were individuals responding to the riots – amongst whom are migrants and refugees, those who attended anti-racist mobilisations and/or those who defended community buildings and Muslims who defended mosques.
Institute of Race RelationsIRR statement on research findings on charging and sentencing patterns following the summer 2024 racist riots - Institute of Race Relations Research from the IRR on charging and sentencing after the far-right-orchestrated racial violence in England in summer 2024,[i] finds that attacks could be traced back to scare statements about immigration and two-tier policing and that courts failed to acknowledge the full extent of the racism behind the riots. Interim research findings[ii] released today relateRead More...
It's a sunny day in the city of York. Trump wants to deport immigrants, which he says will reduce crime. Who will he then start to blame when all the immigrants have gone and schoolkids are still getting shot with automatic machine guns & crime is still as high?
It's a wet day in the city of York. Now that the dust is beginning to settle on the NGN Ltd trial, can we assume the @metpoliceuk are going to investigate the people involved, including the likes of Rebekah Brooks & Piers Morgan. I would also throw in Rupert Murdoch
It's a dull day in the city of York. I see the hypocrisy of the Royals continues. The King, visiting a food bank via helicopter, really is taking the piss. If people think the Royals are good for tourism, then let the Tourist Board pay for them, not our taxes. We can then keep pensioners warm
Another frosty day in the city of York. It seems that a number of German & Austrian institutions are withdrawing from X (twitter) over Musk's support for the AfD. If two counties that saw the rise of Hitler & fascism can see the danger, the rest of the world should take note
It's a very frosty day in the city of York. Well, it seems EU leaders are now coming round to the fact that Musk is becoming a SERIOUS threat to democracy in Europe. It's time @Keir_Starmer took it as seriously as the EU & started taking action, not just words, to prevent it.
It's a cold & frosty morning in the city of York. Bad Enoch & the Tories are playing right into @elonmusk hands. They are moving even further to the right to prevent their rabid fascist supporters from going across to @reformparty_uk. They are becoming more extreme
How long till Elon demands this guy's release?

A taxi driver whose social media posts were a "catalyst" for riots that broke out after three girls were stabbed to death in Southport has been jailed seven and a half years.
Andrew McIntyre, 39, set up a Telegram channel called "Southport Wake Up" in the immediate aftermath of the knife attack at a children's dance class in the Merseyside town on 29 July.
Liverpool Crown Court heard the case involved a "sinister aspect" of violence which took place in parts of the UK last summer.
McIntyre, of Rufford, near Ormskirk, Lancashire, had admitted encouraging violent disorder and possession of a knife in an earlier hearing.
The Telegram channel was identified by the group Hope Not Hate as a "catalyst for and origin of a series of posts" concerning incidents of violence, prosecutor Arthur Gibson said.

Considering the way trump has weathered every scandal what sort of scandal would bring Farage down?

It's a bright morning in the city of York. Racism & bigotry are a scourge in this country, and its two main perpetrators are Reform UK Ltd & the Tory Party aided by their 'buddies' in the r/w press. Until their 'rational' supporters understand & learn this, the problem will remain.
I know it’s a bit early, but please share your best moments from 2024 - if you top this you win #brexit #tory #tories #toryscum #politics #ukpolitics #bbc #news #EU #nhs #costofliving #Labour #keirstarmer #Starmer #labourparty #RejoinEU #ToryCorruption #standuptoracism #farage #nigelfarage #refromuk #Gammons #NewYear #happynewyear #2024Highlights #2024recap #bestof2024 #farageriots
The fog's clearing in the city of York. More companies are pleading with Starmer & Labour to ditch their Brexit red lines & speed up his EU reset. Is there anyone who can explain to me why they are so against closer ties with the EU when a majority of voters do?
It's a misty morning in the city of York. It's funny that Badenoch & Fartage are trading punches over who has the most members. It's like two asylum leaders arguing, which one has the most whacko's inside their doors. That they have any members is disturbing
It's a cloudy day in the city of York. A quick question for you: What will the people of Clacton see first, Haley's Comet or their local MP? My money's on the Comet. I hope those racist people in Clacton who voted for Fuhrage are really proud of themselves now
It's a bright morning in the city of York. Has anyone else noticed the shift in the @BBCPolitics allegiance from the Tories towards Reform Ltd? I fully expect Elon Musk to start appearing on #BBCPoliticsLive & #bbcqt & Reform to get their own parking slot at the BBC
It's a cloudy start to the day in the city of York. Are we finally getting a shift in stance from Labour over our relationship with the EU? Perhaps the penny has finally dropped that the majority DO want closer ties with Europe & that Farage & Co DID lie to us.
It's a bright morning in the city of York. Labour wants to build 1.5m new homes, but it turns out they don't have enough builders to achieve the target in the timescale they have set. If only there was a job market close to the UK that could be tapped into ......
