WTF is going on in UK anyway? People really that big mad over not electing fascists?!
Decades of economic stagnation and eroded public services have exacerbated long running discontent among less well off people mainly in the north and Midlands who feel left behind by "metropolitan elites" in London and the south.
Populist figures like Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson have landed on the traditional scapegoat of foreigners and whipped up tensions for years.
A brown person with obvious mental health issues has committed a horrendous act and these same people have used it as an excuse to loot shops, throw bricks at police and spray paint "p**is go home". Abetted by news that the prison system is full and they're releasing prisoners early to help deal with the overcrowding.
Anti racism protesters then showed up last night in huge numbers and along with a clear police presence and evidence of swift and strict sentences for the few people who have been identified meant that the latest round of pro fascist marches were abandoned and the nazis have gone back to hiding in their caves.
Ah. So they’ve become America. The circle is now complete!
