    Interesting they didn’t really mention that these riots were originally fueled by false rumours that the three girls had been murdered by a Muslim immigrant. And that that was quickly proven false. They were murdered by a British-born non-Muslim person (who presumably has a psychotic episode?).

    There is strong evidence that these rumours were spread by bad actors from the far right using fake or purchased/stolen online identities.

    Curious to know how many of the arrested are these fascist scumbags, and how many were the good people bravely standing up to them.
