Following up with suitably shameless speed were the likes of Battersea bedroom dweller Paul Watson, accompanied by Mark Collett, so Fash he gives the Fash a bad name, or an even worse name. A refugee had tried to nonce One Of Our Girls! That’s what THEY were like. It was THEIR FAULT. And then this carefully crafted set-up began to unravel.
The BBC report tells: “Police confirmed they had been investigating reports that ‘a man made inappropriate advances toward a teenage girl’ in Kirkby on Monday” before adding “No victim had been initially identified and a man in his 20s was arrested on Thursday in another part of the country on suspicion of a public order offence, Chief Constable Kennedy said”. Do go on.
“He was released with no further action following advice from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS)”. Anyone see the dead giveaway? Let’s have that one more time: “was arrested … in another part of the country”. So whoever it was, was almost certainly not one of those refugees inside the Suites Hotel. It gets worse: one opposed to refugees suggested the violence was organised.
So what we appear to have here is either a most fortuitous reason for locals to protest against asylum seekers being housed in a local hotel, or a set-up designed to give The Fash an excuse to kick off. The man alleged to have made the improper approach was not local, remember. Moving right along.
And moving thus, we come to the politicians caught with their hands awfully adjacent to the till, not least former Brexit Party Oberscheissenführer Nigel “Thirsty” Farage, who had previously peddled his “Breaking Point” poster, redolent of Nazi-era dog whistles, and who had just demonised those Scary Muslims™ on Gammon Broadcasting™ News (“Bacon’s News Channel”).
“There is a jihadi gang in Dunkirk, who are trafficking people to the UK and who want nothing less than the destruction of the West”. Then came the violence in Kirkby. So did he stop and think? Did he buggery. He just doubled down: "Knowsley is a grim portend of what is to come”. You’ll have to excuse the spelling: the correct word is PORTENT. And it got worse.
Yes, it was the BBC’s fault. “The BBC were totally one-sided on their coverage of the disorder in Knowsley last night … The message is simple from the highly questionable Care 4 Calais group … If you object to single, undocumented men approaching underage girls - then you are ‘far right’”. We don’t know if the man was single or “undocumented”. NOR DOES FARAGE.
“I condemn the appalling disorder in Knowsley last night. The alleged behaviour of some asylum seekers is never an excuse for violence and intimidation. Thank you to [Merseyside Police] officers for keeping everyone safe”. This on top of telling the Commons of “the invasion on our southern coast”. There is no evidence to stand up that allegation. SO DON’T USE IT.
How far from “very fine people on both sides” and “Stand back and stand by” was Ms Braverman’s rhetoric? Not nearly far enough. And all the while, next to no mention of the almost continuous anti-refugee rhetoric emanating from the cheaper end of our Free and Fearless Press. All those bad faith actors telling people that refugees are our enemy - no surprise some believe them.
Once again the far right indulges in gratuitous violence and gets a free pass from irresponsible pundits and politicians. What happened in Kirkby was inexcusable FULL STOP, NO EXCUSES, NO DEFLECTION, NO GET-OUT CLAUSE, NO CONDITIONAL STATEMENT. Those who have whipped up the mob must now desist, dial down the rhetoric, and PUT A SOCK IN IT.
Meanwhile, call fascism for what it is. Root it out. Before it gets even worse.

They are merely “concerned citizens”
Organised fascism has been "getting worse" since 1979.
Wait until the guilty organised thugs in Parliament, corporate media and on the streets hear of invading squadrons of deadly Chinese weather balloons over the white cliffs of Dover.
You ain't seen nothin' yet.
That 'video', which provided the 'evidence' for the claims of sexual harassment, looked decidedly suspect.
The girl is heard asking the guy's age, being told it's 25, saying that she is 15 and that 'we don't do that in this country' (hrrmmphh!). We only hear her voice and don't really see any interaction. We also see a girl with back to camera talking to a man, this filmed from the other side of the road.
By whom? An inquisitive passer-by? Someone testing out their new phone's camera?
Far be it from me to suggest that the whole thing was a set-up, or even to imagine that such things don't happen, but.................
And of course, when far right protesters torch a Police car, it's never that much an issue from all the "law and order" right wingers.
I suppose I'll get slated for this, bit I'm gonna speak me piece anyway.
No mention at all of the possibility of (undercover) plod acting as agent provocateurs - on this so-called 'fash' side OR the 'anti-fash'.
Seems to me that the original protest - the one brought about by your 'fash' was peaceful, until the 'anti-fash' turned up...
Rather than point the finger at the original demonstrators, ask yourself, or better still, get yourself to darkest Kirkby to ask the natives what caused the protest in the first place??
You say we don't know if this man is single?
Perhaps not. Is he married? Doesn't matter. WTF is he doing asking a fifteen year-old girl for her number in any event?
Nor do you mention that the people of Kirkby have been questioning why that there are no families, but an inordinate proportion of single males...And then this video is published (I've not seen it nor do I want to).
You know as much about what transpired as I do, Tim.
I'll remind you that the edl were ran out of my city on several occasions. Some of those doing that may well have been from that same town. Some of those may well have been at the original (your 'fash') protest.
A protest that was, by the majority of accounts, peaceful.
Until someone - not necessarily your 'fash' kicked it off.
Apologies. (Previous post is unpublished as time of writing this one)
I think I may have stated: "you" (Tim) have stated that YOU don't know if the asylum seeker is single (and undocumented)
This wasn't my intent if that is what is actually written.
The second YOU (in capitals, as per the original post - IF that's what I typed) was meant to read "we".
Hope this clears any subsequent confusion up.
@09:41 and 10:18.
Tim is right. There can be NO EXCUSE for this horror.
This blog has long published examples of fear and loathing deliberately stirred up by the likes of wannabe Nazi Robinson and the EDL scumbags. That includes a late night small siege of Tim's home. At Kirkby it was a similar cowardly siege of helpless innocents unconnected to the actions of an individual weirdo.
Moreover, fascism is never acceptable, "peaceful" or not. It is the dogma of racist cowards and nationalist thugs. History shows why. Merseyside is no more immune to it than anywhere else in the world, tiny minority or not.
I see the Bollock-Faced Foghorn Of Ignorance™ is trying to come across like the patron saint of racists Enoch Powell and missing by a cuntry mile.
