Sir Keir Starmer should recall Parliament, Nigel Farage has demanded as he accused him of a “faltering approach” to the riots currently sweeping Britain. The Telegraph has more.
The Reform U.K. leader said the return of MPs to the House of Commons would provide the opportunity for a “more honest debate” about mass migration and its impact on communities.
In a sixth day of violence on Sunday following the Southport killings, a hotel used to house asylum seekers was set ablaze while far-Right rioters clashed with Muslim protesters.
A mob in Middlesbrough shouted “smash the p—s” while targeting migrants’ homes, while social media footage appeared to show groups of Asian men attacking white men.
Parliament was recalled by Lord Cameron, who was Prime Minister during the 2011 summer riots that followed the death of Mark Duggan in Tottenham, six days after unrest started.
In a statement on X, Mr. Farage said he had been “totally appalled” by the levels of violence seen in the past week.
“The levels of intimidation and threat to life have no place in a functioning democracy,” he wrote.
“That so many police officers have been injured trying to keep the peace is shocking, and we should not discount the use of the Army if the situation were to deteriorate further. In the short term, we will quell the riots, but deeper long-term problems remain.
“Ever since the soft policing of the Black Lives Matter protests, the impression of two-tier policing has become widespread. The Prime Minister’s faltering attempts to address the current crisis have only added to that sense of injustice.”
Mr. Farage, whose Reform U.K. Party has advocated a “one in, one out” immigration policy, continued: “The majority of our population can see the fracturing of our communities as a result of mass, uncontrolled immigration, whether legal or illegal.
“Yet to attempt to debate this in the public arena leads to immediate howls of condemnation. A population explosion without integration was always going to end badly. I have said this for many years.
“We must have a more honest debate about these vital issues and give people the confidence that there are political solutions that are relevant to them. A recall of Parliament would be an appropriate start to this.”

I expect Farage is just echoing a similar call already made by Sunak
The difference is stark here regarding Starmer’s attitude. He’s shaming himself and advertising his hypocrisy for all the world to see, but all of this we 100% predicted because of who he is;
”Britain’s new PM scolded Trump on America’s BLM riots… but seems to have changed his tune after plunging England into civil warfare within three weeks.”
https://x.com/kylenabecker/status/1820359301753458692
I agree though I don’t think it’s accurate to say he “plunged England into civil warfare within three weeks” – I think we should be wary of giving politicians credit for having such influence. He is part of an establishment that over decades has knowingly encouraged the conditions which have led to where we are now.
Disagree.
The national socialists’ party leader the Starmführer has stoked the tensions by refusing to admit the intense anger throughout the country over the serious bad effects legal and illegal immigration are having on our established communities.
This comes on top of his failure to stop the boats because he cannot “smash the gangs” [which is also meaningless] whilst mindlessly cancelling the Rwanda deterrent which we know from Ireland was working even before flights started.
And it comes on top of zero announcements about specific measures to reduce immigration to sensible and sustainable levels.
It is all hot air – apart from arresting and prosecuting white people who did nothing.
eg. the arrest and handcuffing of the GB News reporter there to report the news – with a cameraman no less!!!!.
He only got away because one of the police officers recognised him and realised that if they lied about him chucking bricks they would likely end up being prosecuted for perjury and perverting the course of justice – so they let him go.
How many are being prosecuted for doing nothing?
Well we are now living in a national socialist state after all.
He is just one of a cast of many, in the UK and globally, over a period of decades. I’m not absolving him of blame, but thinking that getting rid of Starmer will “solve” this problem seems unrealistic to me.
Cancelling the Rwanda scheme on day one with nothing to replace it was an act of sheer folly which stoked what has happened without a shadow of a doubt.
At that moment – his first day – he confirmed nothing was going to be done about legal and illegal immigration and the risks he has exposed the entire population to with all these undocumented illegals with no skills who get accommodation when black and white indigenous teenagers and young adults and ex military live on the streets with no hope of homes nor jobs.
That alone is a recipe for Enoch Powell’s ‘rivers of blood’.
That combined with the meaningless alphabetty spaghetti he drivels on about all the time whilst doing nothing different other than following woke dogma and the like.
Five more years of this shit.
The question is which country is a better option to live in?
Maybe DS should run a weekly column on other countries to live in which are better than this hole.
I am sure he has made a bad situation worse, but whatever is happening now would have happened sooner or later under Sunak or whoever. The Tories were almost as bad.
Better countries – depends on your criteria. I like England and the English – perhaps for no other reason than it’s what I am used to – so things would have to get pretty bad and be pretty peachy somewhere else before I bothered moving, and then there’s the language to consider. I might have been tempted to move to a solidly Republican US State had it been feasible but I’m not rich enough to buy my way in.
Pointless meaningless counterfactual: “whatever is happening now would have happened sooner or later under Sunak or whoever”
1) it did not happen under Sunak or anyone else
2) it has happened under Starmführer and not sooner but right now
3) it would not have happened at all if he took notice of the concerns of the 80% who did not vote for him – when he meaninglessly claimed his “Government of Service” was to serve us all – which as we can see is a complete and utter Goebbels type falsehood from the national socialist Starmführer
4) it would not have happened under a Reform UK government
So no it would not have happened sooner or later – but it has happened now under Starmführer
I just don’t think the focus on Starmer, loathsome as he is, gets us much further forward.
I agree that Reform were/are the only credible alternative that MAY have made some difference. 86% of those who voted sadly chose left wing parties and not Reform.
To be frank, what you think is of no value whatsoever and makes not a jot of difference.
Here are facts.
Starmführer and his national socialist government could have ensured none of this happened by taking note of the serious problem legal and illegal immigration is – and immediately taking action to do something about it.
It is not as if he did not know – he saw what happened to the Tories at the election – but instead of addressing the problem that grips the nation he telegraphed to the world – including the illegals – that Britain is open and they should keep coming.
Starmführer and his national socialist government are the only people there are to focus upon if anything is to be done to put right was is wrong.
You don’t say upon whom the focus should be.
You can focus on Miss Piggy or Ermintrude of Postman Pat or any number of others if you want. Its a free country. Live in your bubble and pretend you know it all but clearly you know little or nothing and have nothing much sensible to say about serious issues.
Here is an example of how successful your approach is when you wrote “Hint to downvoters – the smiley often signifies an attempt at humour (clearly failed in this case).”
Clearly lacking in perception and understanding.
Which governments have made a serious attempt to stop illegal immigration and reduce legal immigration? As to where to focus, I think it’s too late, but I would start with focusing on persuading people who like immigration, or say they do, or who feel squeamish about stopping it, that it’s a Bad Idea.
What I think is of enormous value to me and many others.
If it makes you happy just keep on thinking that.
Some people think they are Napoleon Buonoparte and I am sure they think that is of enormous value to them. They may even think it is to others. But thinking and reality are by no means the same.
Donald Trump’s. Unlike Joe Biden’s.
And the Europeans want to stop it – look at Italy, Hungary and many more – but are hidebound by outdated human rights laws and the woke unelected glitterati like von der Leyen.
Yes, Trump did more than most, and hopefully will do so again.
If they have not already realised that by now they never will.
And if Starmer continues to ignore the problem then what are riots now will without any doubt become something different and more difficult for the State to counter later.
History repeats itself. Deny a voice to and ignore concerns and they will find expression other ways.
As rioters are quelled as night follows day the likelihood is other means will be used if the concerns continue not to be addressed.
In Northern Ireland the Tricolour was flying side by side with the Union Jack over this issue.
And that is one place where this Government needs to sit up and take notice – it is one place with an history of decades of urban terrorism and those who know how to wage it.
How long will it be before asylum seeker hotels are bombed over there?
But that will not happen. Why? Because Starmführer will have to recognise that risk and dump the illegals back on the mainland.
I’m afraid I don’t share your optimism
That is not optimism. It is cynicism.
Starmführer simply will not risk a new period of urban terrorism in NI. Indeed, it might occur all across Ireland and not just NI.
But he will doggedly not fix the problem for the UK.
His solution with be closer political union with the EU and a quota deal on migrants.
I had assumed that Starmer wanted to become prime minister.
Either he needs to resign or act on behalf of the British (& NI) people.
The Rwanda scheme was a Tory scam of the highest order. The public were never told that Rwanda could send just as many illegals that entered its country to the UK! So Africans enter Rwanda illegally and get a free ride to the UK.
Lest we not forget how crooked the court system is that judges and barristers convicted hundreds of innocent post office workers of crimes they did not commit.
How could they not have known something was odd about so many people with unblemished characters and trusted records being prosecuted for totally out of character crimes whilst protesting their innocence.
The English Bar and the judiciary which is predominantly drawn from it IMHO is as bent as a nine pound note.
And let us not forget either Lucy Letby languishing in gaol with serious concerns about the fake evidence against her – again prosecuted and convicted by members of the English bar and judges drawn from their ranks.
Take the money and keep your mouths shut.
Hint to downvoters – the smiley often signifies an attempt at humour (clearly failed in this case).
Is it me or are the readers of the DS changing. The current group don’t seem to spot irony irony well, or maybe just don’t appreciate humour.
Not sure – I thought I had made it obvious. Perhaps just reading the word “Sunak” is enough to bring on a bilious attack.
One thing the MSM and our puppet politicians never talk about is that the policy of mass migration is a United Nations policy. Watch this interview of Michael Yon by Neil Oliver, taking mainly about the invasion of the US. From 37:50 “The USA is itself the prime mover of this invasion … the same is happening all round the world, even Japan … this weaponised migration is being coordinated by the IOM (International Organisation for Migration). It’s a huge organisation. The number one funder is USA, 2 is Germany, 3 is Canada …” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsM-hawT9ZQ&t=12sc
See also his tweet on how this is being orchestrated by the IOM:
https://twitter.com/Michael_Yon/status/1757766003126149497.
Here is Michael Jon again talking recently to Jim Ferguson about the tinderbox situation in Ireland: https://x.com/JimFergusonUK/status/1816433393032221169.
It is clear that the UN is at the centre of all our oppressions, be it mass immigration via the IOM, the climate change hox via its subsidiary IPCC and fake “plandemics” via its subsidiary WHO. We should tell the UN to take a Billy Connolly: https://x.com/JamesMelville/status/1816611439412429255?t=VH_ok3uOgktnOj3g8IIZ-g&s=19.
See also UN Migration Chief, 2006-18, Peter Sutherland lecturing the House of Lords in 2012. In his speech he declared it was the duty of every EU leader to undermine the cultural homogeneity of their nations in order to ensure the success of globalisation. One can only imagine he was despatched to lecture there as the then recently elected Cameron had been making noises about reducing net migration to the tens of thousands.
Then of course we had May’s parting “gift”to the nation when she signed the UN Migration Compact.
The G7 jolly crew went to Morroco I think it was to sign up to “the no one is a migrant” treaty , T/ May provided our signature ! Starmer is just doing as he’s told , the Smarmy F- cker !!
This Reform UK chap has the right idea and is spot on in this short clip. And there is absolutely no justification for setting fire to hotels *with human beings inside* or looting shops and somehow claiming ”the government/Muslims made me do it”. That is not ‘Patriotism’! Just as there’s no justification for Muslim gangs to roam around hunting a lone white person to kick and punch unconscious on the street. Absolutely awful scenes from across the UK gone viral on social media.
”The term ‘far right’ is a cheap buzz word that dehumanises people with genuine concerns.
Rather than solve the problem it radicalises individuals to commit insane reprehensible acts of criminality.
Condemn the violence and address the grievances. You can do both.”
https://x.com/MayuranReform/status/1820362841628532978
Correct. However, we do not have a functioning democracy, hence the violent protests. Intimidation has been poured onto the indigenous masses by the ruling class, and threat to life is evident in the butchering of innocent little girls. Let’s blo*dy remember what this is about.
If Government and police exercised the same zeal dealing with grooming gangs and hate preachers instead of trying to sweep that stuff under the carpet, then people might see equal justice taking place and might not have this bottled up anger.
An “Honest Debate” ???——–A “Grown Up Conversation” ???? ha ha ha ha ha jeez———————Nigel are you having a laugh? Socialists will NEVER give any choice because you might actually not choose them and their absurd policies like mass immigration and net zero. You cannot have an honest conversation with LIARS.
I suspect he knows that. His audience is the public and the medium in which he is trying to affect action is public opinion, not the government which he knows is a lost cause. But he also knows he can’t act like there is no point in being an MP in this parliament. He has to play at least that part.
He’ll have to be wary about what he says and where (e.g. inside or outside Parliament), given the line that Starmer broadcast an hour or so ago. Otherwise he could be accused of encouraging the “unrest” rather than the other way round. Then it would be up to the Magistrates to work it out.
It pretty much doesn’t matter what he says because he’ll be accused of that, anyway. To the laborious party and its fansomethings of unclear sex and indeterminate gender, Sunak is already a closet Nazi because of the evil and inhuman Rwanda plan. Anybody even beyond him is an unspeakable alien horror who’d put the frighteners on Lovecraft’s Great Old Ones were they so unfortunate to cross his path.
Yep I know——-It can only be done via the “procedure”
“That so many police officers have been injured trying to keep the peace is shocking, and we should not discount the use of the Army if the situation were to deteriorate further.”
This sort of comment by Farage raises my hackles.
I find it difficult to have any sympathy for the police. Their two-tier approach has put them in the firing line and videos circulating on-line showing some of their savagery is absolutely appalling – and I do not mean the airport case.
What on earth is Farage thinking when he talks of putting the army on the streets? Has he lost all sense? All this will achieve is an even greater sense of injustice amongst the population. The anger will not go away it will simply fester only to explode even more violently at the next “tragic” incident. And wouldn’t Kneel relish the opportunity to put troops on the streets?
Get a grip Mr Farage.
It isn’t the police as such. It is their bosses in government and their determination not to have their multicultural mass immigration dogma challenged that are the problem.
Meanwhile, look at Mark Rowley spit his dummy out. I think the now familiar phrase ”two-tier policing” triggers him. Pathetic and unprofessional;
”Head of the Met Police, Sir Mark Rowley left the COBRA security meeting. He was asked by a journalist:
“Are you going to end two-tier policing, sir?”
He snatches the microphone out of his hand & drops it on the floor.
Any other person would be called a thug.”
https://x.com/DaveAtherton20/status/1820416690590511465
Criminal damage – is that still a crime?
I have just watched that clip and the same thought crossed my mind
It was my comment on X. Criminal damage.
Wow. I’m a retired copper, and I just think ‘Wow’.
Folks, we’re on our own. Don’t think the police will help you because they won’t. They are here to enforce the narrative – with force against those who are against the narrative.
To my mind, Rowley just brought civil war a step closer.
Nailed it ! We are cast adrift now ! Every force they’ve got will be thrown at us ! It’s WW3 !
The idea that the police service is two-tier is somewhat simplistic. They are always a bit selective as to where to apply the available resources, after all. Priorities regarding one crime or another probably varies between forces, and geographically as well. Flexible, and being guided by local politics is more like it.
Do you not see a pattern in how they deal with “protests” that varies according to whether the protesters are from an approved victim/agenda group or not? BLM vs anti-lockdown?
Well one observation I’ve made is that the police, no matter the area or force, don’t seem to be very diverse in terms of ethnicity. I’m going to do my ‘Yousaf’ impersonation now but going by the considerable amount of footage I’ve seen in the context of many protests;
riot police – white, mounted police – white, police dog handlers – white, police cuffing/decking/punching/battering people – white, crowd control police/miscellaneous – white. I did see a Community Support Officer who was Muslim telling all the Muslim mob through a megaphone to keep their weapons in the mosque or they risk being arrested, but I just assumed the police were more DEI-centric than they actually are because everybody’s white. Peculiar.
Interesting point
I never see the police where I live now
When we were in London I used to see a fair few non white officers though
Yeah I think London might be a bit more diverse but still not really a reflection of the diversity of the wider community and by far and away majority white. Mind, couldn’t you say the same for West Yorks and other places where parts of towns and cities are basically ghettoized now? Does the local police force reflect the community? For some reason it doesn’t seem so. Maybe it’s a profession that many with migrant backgrounds ( so 2nd, 3rd generation ) don’t want to get into.
I feel that makes it all the more hurtful and traitorous, to be honest. What do these people go home and tell their families after a shift policing protests? That they dealt with all the baddies? A reminder of the ‘baddies’, who are clearly the ones wearing uniforms;
https://x.com/GhorbaniiNiyak/status/1818817606264275260
https://x.com/potkazar/status/1818750867425968232
I doubt any randomly chosen workforce “represents the community”. I don’t think it’s realistic to think that any workforce you care to name represents any randomly chosen characteristic or set of characteristics exactly in line with how those are distributed in the general population. If people stopped seeing race or skin colour, this would not be a problem, but the race grifters and people who choose to try and divide us won’t let us not see those things. Of course this would be less of an issue if there was little variation in race/skin colour in the first place.
Oh, for crying out loud!
The idea that the police service is two-tier is somewhat simplistic. […] Flexible, and being guided by local politics is more like it.
If that’s supposed to mean unlikely to take on local crime lords, eg, those running grooming gangs, because being paid to look in another direction, it’s probably correct.
Yes. Isn’t it amazing that when it’s a group of Muslim men blatantly threatening violence against one white teacher for daring to do his job, there are no police to be seen and no arrests.
But if a white working class person DARES to say something “hateful” against one of the Establishment’s “special people” Plod will turn up mob-handed.
Some of the front line plods are clearly relishing the opportunity to release their inner thugs. I accept more senior operatives bear much of the responsibility but those battering the public are guilty of over stepping their limits.
But the Muslims must be appeased and given preferential treatment at all costs, which is kind of the crux of the problem isn’t it?
”The Home Office announced on Sunday that mosques will be offered greater protection with new emergency security.
It said mosques at risk of violent targeting can be provided with additional security personnel as part of a rapid security response to boost the work being done by local police.”

Bloody disgraceful.
He has a role to play as the public leader of the dissident right, and he won’t be much use to us if he gets kicked out of Parliament for using intemperate wording.
Sorry? Do you not think calling for the army to engage ordinary people protesting against the slaughter of children is “intemperate”? He can make the all too obvious point about the problems linked to mass immigration (e.g. rape and murder of children) without stoking the flames of the anti-white-right-of-centre hatred of the establishment. And this is everyone’s ant-establishment guy!
I agree with what you are saying. Farage has these boomer moments that we have no choice but to put up with. This isn’t the first time he has thrown in a remark we disagree with, for ‘balance’. Generally though, Farage is remarkably adept at reading the room and staying juuuust within the overton window.
Maybe. I’ve always considered him fairly centrist – it’s just that the definition of ‘right’ has dramatically shifted (e.g. anyone that thinks sovereignty is important) so that he’s now considered to be right-wing. It’s one of the reasons I thought the whole Reform bandwagon was folly. Anyway, he seems to be asking the right questions… just in a way that allows the establishment to bring in tanks; after all, if even the “far-right” Farage thinks that’s how we should deal with these horrible working class white people then it must be ok, right?
I considered that a little off base, too. OTOH, this depends on how the situation evolves in future, eg, will it lead to street battles between armed gangs of muslims and possibly equally armed “We want our country back!” people? That’s certainly a possibility, especially as the muslims aren’t exactly famous for being peaceful, law-abiding, tolerant and mild-mannered when feeling threatened by infidels.
I know; it worked well in N.I. did it not?
The deployment of the Army would turn the UK into Northern Ireland in the Troubles. There, there are overtly ethnic communities and Stormont is designed to accommodate their political representatives.
Mr F must know that this is never going to be done in Britain. But it does somewhat reinforce Mr Hitchens’ view in his article for the Mail on Sunday that one never quite knows what Mr F really believes.
On the other hand, if the police retreat, as they did in Leeds, they must be safer.
NF is playing the game to survive
It is notable that most of the violence is taking place between the rioters and the police, and on property I have not heard of any violence where immigrants have received any injury.
There is a section of the community which sees the police as the enemy, for whatever reason. The actions of the police and their very public presence dressed in protective (battle) gear is guaranteed to wind up the protesters, and is seen as a challenge.
Yes, but it can be down to the accuracy of the journalists and the editors involved. E.g. compare the output of different organisations on the same issue – perhaps the BBC and Al Jazeera if they’re both involved.

The entire Daily Mail article on this completely ignored the Rampaging Gangs of Armed Muslims in English towns, and sneered at “White Tears”, and the terrible crimes of the “thugs” and “rioters”, such as hurling a wheelie bin and waving a stick in a threatening manner:
“Curtis Coulson, who is accused of waving a stick ‘in a threatening manner’ towards a woman during a riot in Sheffield, wiped away tears throughout his 20 minute-long appearance in court today.
The 30-year-old, who denied one charge of affray, became even more upset when he was refused bail and remanded in custody at Sheffield Magistrates Court. He was among at least 25 riot suspects to be hauled before court today.”
Tears of rioters as they are hauled before court: Sobbing thug denies threatening woman, protester who pushed wheelie bin at cops says she has ‘mental health issues’ – and burglar says ‘nice one lads’ as he’s taken to cells | Daily Mail Online
And NOT ONE MENTION of the Rampaging Gangs of Armed Muslims attacking unarmed British protesters.
NOT ONE MUSLIM was arrested.
SHAME ON THE DAILY MAIL!
And SHAME ON GB NEWS!
And SHAME ON OUR POLITICIANS!
If this is true, then you can’t blame the police. We have a teacher still in hiding and I would fear for anyone who tried to take on the extremists.
Just like N.I. the ordinary folk lived in fear of the protection money gangs and inadvertently insulting someone.
Yes, there is only one thing Muslims fear: permanent deportation.
Yes, deportation, back to their homeland!

Dear Nigel,
We have had DECADES OF DEBATE— all talk & no action.
“We simply need a referendum on immigration. Both legal and illegal. Let the people decide.
We thought after voting to leave the EU a clear signal had been sent to cabinet – that the public wanted a reduction in immigration. Since then both legal and illegal immigration has spiralled.”
We had a referendum on the EU which was never instituted in full because the top types did not agree with the people. We would face the same issue with an immigration referendum.
As NF said immigration is a huge money spinner and those who benefit will never give in.
Good point. Also, the Globalist Traitors would register millions of Third World Grifters as eligible to vote in any referendum, ensuring the “right” result.
It’s now more obvious than ever, just how important it was for the establishment to keep Farage out of No10…
Was the election rigged… Just how many votes did Farage get??
NF is a useful distraction as Reform UK only got the same number of seats as the pro Gaza independents which is a much scarier result for the Labour Party as they nearly toppled some others as well.
In a previous post here on the DS in the past few days there was a reference to Cromwell, it’s a relevant point in history, as what remains from the 1650s is the status quo of our 2 party system under the guise of “democracy”
Cromwell formally permitted the return of the Jews in to England, who had been expelled by Edward Longshanks in 1290, the promise to rebuild England with Jewish money was an offer Cromwell could not refuse.
The English Civil War, as much of history has not been truthfully told, for our parliament was Jewish construct.
I need to stop there before the “antisemitism” finger gets pointed again, this is history, these are facts, but as we all know they have gained such power as we can no longer even discuss “history”
The 2 party system will never be broken…..
“The levels of intimidation and threat to life have no place in a functioning democracy,”
We don’t have a functioning democracy.
20% of the electorate voted for Labour. When “offered” Two-Tier-Keir as a potential Prime Minister, 80% either said “No Thanks” by voting against him or not bothering to vote since they saw no point voting under FPTP.
Yet Labour now has 404 MPs and is imposing policies 80% rejected.
We don’t have a democracy.
Technically, so-called representative government is an oligarchy. There’s a pretty closed class of people eligible to govern who need to seek popular acclamation every now and then to determine which of its members are eligible for public government posts and which aren’t. There’s no direct input into policymaking by the general population whatsoever, they’re restricted to chosing people who’ll supposedly vote in their place from a set of options set before them. To which degree these people pay attention to the wishes of their constituents is left entirely to their discretion.
The only semi-democratic element of this system is that the recruiting process the governing class uses to replenish its candidate pool as needed is de jure open to any member of the electorate. The UK is a monarchy in name, an oligarchically ruled republic in practice and a democracy only in marketing materials of the governing class.
Well common sense prevails. Thank you Mr. Farage. And yet the current gov’t continues to blame social media for the current unrest. What? Why is parliament on holiday while the country is burning? This makes no sense.
Here in peaceful Scotland there are no ‘far right’ extremists stoking racial tensions…however that did not stop STV 6.00pm ‘news’ reporting on the fact that it was probably just a matter of time. They interviewed a woman who had arrived in Glasgow 29 years ago from Iraq, but suddenly was afraid for her safety even though there was nothing happening to instil any fear. FM Swinney was filmed leaving a Mosque, having apparently felt compelled to reassure the worshippers that his government would support them against this tide of hatred.
Who else sees facial recognition and travel restrictions being introduced under ‘emergency measures’ Bliar’s hated ID cards becoming compulsory to show to the new ‘Army’ of specialist flying squad of police?
Lockdowns again unless you’re attending the local mosque?
I’m sick of the way I am portrayed by MSM because I want all immigration from Muslim countries stopped immediately.
The only odd part of Nigel’s letter is where he talks about bringing the army. It’s not that simple, if NI is the example they can only be brought in at the request of and in support of the Police, and I’d guess any soldier, who recently was in somewhere hot and sandy is likely to be slightly biased against the immigrant faction in any riots taking place.
