Two tier policing? As someone said on Twitter, the use of Stop & Search has for years been used predominantly on non white population.

BBC news reporting that no major disorder this evening.
And that the far right racists that have come out have been totally dwarfed by the numbers of anti-racism protestors.

Think the counter-protests and the threat of these swift jail sentences may have put a stop to this quite quickly. Even Farage apparently put his flags away today because he's annoyed about them being called the #FarageRiots.
I noticed a few shops shut early tonight when I went out for a run. And I know a hospital in Sunderland shut some services early today and others are certainly keeping an eye on events to look after NHS staff, so there's clearly some impact on public services because of the action. But I do hope this has snuffed out.

A bit of cool drizzle will probably put an end to it.

GB News claiming tonight that a group of "anti-immigration demonstrators" in Aldershot are in fact a counter-protest to the "counter-protest rioters". That's some curveball reporting.

Well xitter tonight seems to be full of videos of thousands of people chanting “nazi scum, off our streets” while a handful of skinheads hide behind police lines for their own protection.
There is hope.

Even the BBC is reporting similar, so it must be true.

Benefits cheque run out?
Like Fozzy says, to early to say it's squashed but I'm hopeful.
Even more mad is 30p blaming Starmer for it all.
Perhaps that was their play, cause anarchy, force Starmer to resign demand an election and sweep to power?
