John, you are yet again correct on your summation! The problem in the UK just now has been exasperated through the last two Tory Home Office cabinet ministers. Pritti Patel (Herself the daughter of immigrants) and Suella Braverman who were so Racist against the Refugees and Immigrants that the right wing got bolstered by their words and that's what's caused all the Hatred and Violence here in the UK! Many people from outside the Areas now going through this disgusting behaviour have bussed in taxis and trains to cause the problems for others but not in their own Communities! They never destroy their own communities! Many people are now counter protesting and Standing up to the Neanderthal Thugs and stopping any vandalism or Violence before it can happen. Other large Towns and Cities have Police on Standby ( I'm told that railway and bus stations are being watched by police) here in Brighton we have a very "Pro active "Police force. The Youngsters get on well with the local PCSOs and Police. Everytime these Riots take place there's the Neanderthals who go to the City or town first and stir up the youngsters to join in, it won't work in some places I don't think it will happen here but I just don't know! Our neighbourhood watch teams are good, we have stopped this kind of thing happening before and I hope we can stop them in the future.

Politicians who are in a position of power should never use the inflammatory words both Pritti and Suella used, incitement is what it would have been called if they had been ordinary Citizens and they would certainly have had custodial sentences! Unfortunately Police took no action when it was needed most. All the best John. Derek
