Good to see the prick channelling his inner Inspector Grimm from the Thin Blue line there with "namby pamby".
 
The authorities requested people not to speculate about the incident on social media due to children and services being involved.

“…we would ask people to avoid engaging with speculation on social media to enable people to engage with local services where they need to."
 
West Yorkshire Police statement;

Please see our updated statement following the serious disorder in Harehills, Leeds.

Assistant Chief Constable Pat Twiggs said: “There has understandably been a great deal of speculation, commentary and concern following the disorder in Harehills, Leeds overnight.

“Our officers responded to a call from Children’s Social Care at around 5pm yesterday (Thursday 18 July) after social workers reported being met with hostility when dealing with a child protection matter.

“Responding officers were attacked and helped Children’s Social Care staff withdraw to a place of safety.

As the disorder escalated, damage was caused to vehicles and several fires set.

We continually assessed the situation and took the decision to deploy specialist public order officers who then came under a barrage of bricks and missiles from a large group.

A decision was taken to withdraw these officers temporarily as it was evident that the police was their sole target.

This allowed for further community mediation to take place in order to calm the situation.

Police then returned to the area with Fire colleagues to extinguish the remaining fires which were self-contained and didn’t pose a wider risk. By this point the crowd had diminished and officers were able to fully restore order.

Throughout the night several arrests were made in relation to the disorder and further arrests will be made over the next few days.

The force Major Enquiry Team have launched an investigation which will include reviewing CCTV and social media footage and images to identify the perpetrators.

We will leave no stone unturned in our hunt for all those who were involved and will work closely with our criminal justice partners to bring them to justice.

Anyone who may have filmed any of the disorder is asked to upload any footage via the dedicated Public Portal.

A Major Incident Portal has been created where anyone with information, photos, video footage (including dashcam or doorbell footage) in relation to the disorder can submit it through this link: https://mipp.police.uk/operation/13XM020124L98-PO1

Anyone with any information can contact the force under Op Jerviswick or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

“It is important to recognise the disorder and damage was caused by a criminal minority intent on disrupting the community.

Members of the community working in conjunction with our Key Individual Networks and Elected Members who were on the ground were trying to de-escalate the situation. They are also working alongside us and Leeds City Council today to clean-up the area.

There will be a significant policing presence within Harehills over the weekend and future attempts to engage in crime and disorder will be met with a robust response.

“I would like to thank the Harehills community once again for their efforts and support.”
 
Was doom scrolling through Facebook comments earlier, and in amongst the rancid, semi-literate racism there was a comment that was along the lines of "can anybody honestly say you'd see the same shit in mostly white British council estate? No, Muslims didn't start it and probably a small percentage of them joined in but it was still a fucking riot"

Other than the obvious point of 'brown doesn't = Muslim' I was struggling with anything other than pedantry.

Yes we've seen white people riot, we see it at football and far right events etc, but all that triggered by a small community event that happens all the time? It's fucking Christmas for Reform. Thank fuck it didn't happen 4 weeks ago6
 
Rumours going round that Braverman is going to defect to reform very soon, here’s hoping an election is called and she and reform get told to do one by the voters.
 
Unless the Tories are on the verge of kicking her out Reform doesn't really offer Braverman anything though, as per the thread title it's Farage Ltd, she'll always be in his shadow and won't have much of a platform. She'll also never be properly accepted by their electorate for obvious reasons
 
Compare and contrast: Lee Anderson on violence in Leeds last night, and the attack on a police car, and Lee Anderson on violence outside an asylum hotel in Knowsley last year, and the torching of a police van.

Is Boris stupid (rhetorical question)... Trump has made it clear that he will stop aide to Ukraine so all that will do is embolden Russia as the USA will appear weak, indecisive and on Russia's side quite frankly
