Seen a suggestion that the cops need a public order rhinocerous - love it
Sarah Everhard Vigil has probably relaxed their stance.Why the **** was the London one even given permission to go ahead?
I know it was a terrible incident, but in light of what happened at Southport it seems ridiculous to allow another protest.
Obvi don't know how uk works but it's mostly a logistics thing. Lots of people want to do it but it takes the right circumstances to do it.I need to ask a legal friend really, why can't the guy plead guilty today? He's been in two courts to essentially do nothing but hold him on remand.
I understand if he wants to plead not guilty today and change his mind at a later date.
I think he has a pre-trial / plea hearing is set for late October.I need to ask a legal friend really, why can't the guy plead guilty today? He's been in two courts to essentially do nothing but hold him on remand.

Wasn't this the one where people kicked off when they tried to remove children from a property.'Very visible police presence' on streets of Leeds after mass riot erupts with vehicles overturned and set on fire
Footage taken in the aftermath of the unrest in the Harehills area of the city on Thursday night shows the charred wreckage of vehicles, as the "shocking" violence is condemned by the home secretary and investigators vow to catch the perpetrators.news.sky.com
More riots, this time in Leeds over an unrelated incident. WTF is happening to this country?
Yes. They took a Romanian families children into care.Wasn't this the one where people kicked off when they tried to remove children from a property.
I don't know why it's became so acceptable to assault the police or people don't seem to be detered/bothered from doing it. Friends in the force say the level of violence they are facing now is considerably worse than 10-15 years ago.

I think the naming thing was legally they can release it at 18. He's 18 next week so he would have his name released and stand trial as an adult.One of the key problems for me is that you have right wing politicians and online influencers who can freely incite riots and not be punished. Liberties we enjoy like freedom of speech and the right to protest are being abused by far right politicians and thugs. Farage pushing conspiracy theories via social media about the stabbings in Southport while the police are still establishing the facts was shocking. Surely MPs shouldn't be commenting on on-going investigations and if they do have questions they can ask them responsibly in the HoC. This wasn't even in Farage's constituency.
These thugs have no interest in waiting for the facts to be established by the authorities - they just want a window to spread disinformation which then gives them the platform to cause violence. The judge was persuaded to reveal the attacker's identity just to stop the spread of more disinformation FFS.

I don't doubt that to stop disinformation was a factor but releasing it a week early isn't much of an issue.
From my reading of the article the issue was that while the previous government promised the money, they didn't actually allocate it or budget for it. However, I get your point. If Labour want to grow the economy, then they need to invest. It's a difficult balancing act and we'll have to wait to see if they get it right.Government shelves £1.3bn UK tech and AI plans

If cuts are going to be made, I'm not sure this is a good one to target. Tech and innovation spending has some of the best returns of any government spending and we should be doing more, not less.
