this is from local media linked above:
"..a dad pleaded wmasked thugs not to burn a shop so his children were safe, but a nearby library was set alight as looters targeted businesses.
The chaos started when people began to assemble near County Road Mosque on the Walton street at around 8.30pm. Far-right social media channels had called for people to gather there .."
(it's disingenuous, IMO, to say nazi thug types arent linked to the burning of this library)
@TomDB @rustoleumlove @MarkHoltom Okay I'm not totally out.
It's horrible that there are well- coordinated well-funded right-wing groups focusing on libraries in America. There larger goal (besides the dog whistle) is to defund libraries and public education.
It's horrible that there are racist nazi- type thugs in every country.
Its quite simple. We have had over 10 years of Tories screaming about 'invaders' and ''illegal' immigrants.
These have spawned fascist groups with the specific agenda of getting rid of immigrants to 'take back our country'
The Tories are no longer in power but the Nazi mouth breathers are still out there.
They took the opportunity of children's murder to say it was committed by a muslim immigrant (not true), and used this to organise, rise up and riot.
