Nigels view on how to stop the riots.

Dionne Barrett may well disagree with you.

I suspect the DM article is an intentional distortion of the truth.
Maty was sentenced to 2 years and 8 months, i.e. 32 months.
He would be due for release under the usual circumstances in 16 months, i.e. 50% of his sentences.
Due to prison overcrowding, which released some prisoners early, they are released after 40% of their sentence., i.e after about 13 months.
However this does not apply to the most serious and violent offenders.

To get back to the calculation, it is claimed that Maty will be released after 6 months of his sentence.

Someone can't count. 6 months does not equal 40% of 32, i.e 13 months.

And evidently he was not considered to be a serious or violent offender, otherwise he would not be eligible for early release.

I suspect the answer lies somewhere in the date of the attack, i.e. November 2022, (we don't know when he was arrested), the date or his sentencing, March 2024, he will be released in September 2024.
I suspect he was held, on remand, for something approaching 18 months prior to his trial.

So the DM is a misleading article.

First of all, it was mainly white (Romanian) people rioting in Leeds. Secondly, the police were caught unawares, it was a spontaneous riot and they weren't in any position to react. Plenty of arrests were made afterwards.

But that aside, are we saying that far right rioters should be allowed to burn down mosques and hotels with people inside because the police got things wrong in Harehills? This is so lame and desperate. And more than a little bit bonkers!
two tier policing has been going on for a very long time - think of the child abuse in rotherham, police wouldn't deal with it in case they were accused of racism

and now we have a two Teir Keir demanding extra long sentences for people who don't agree with him

Our government is an utter disgrace, this is worse than Boris and that takes some doing

Is he? Or is he just doing the exact same thing that was done in 2011?

Remember that peaceful protests can land you with 5 years inside now. This isn't going to go well for the Reform base.
 
They wouldn’t forbid you from walking in certain ethnic enclaves in London late at night, talking on a mobile with an expensive watch in your wrist but you’d be a fool to do so.
I see Mottie is concentrating on law breaking again.

Pity he doesn't demonstrate what law abiding means.
 
The area where this attack took place is strongly Unionist.
So would it be fair to suggest this is the typical intelligence of a devout Unionist?



That's not a real question, it's a suggestion that your comment is irrelevant, probably motivated by your own bigotry. :rolleyes:
 
I think there is a lot more to these riots than anger about immigration.
Those inciting the attacks on the police don't want labour in power, they want to escalate the violence to destablise the country and force another election.
Its called regime change i believe.
 
You have something to back this comment up with?

Or just more right wing bias?
it is on the news every 5 minutes, the BBC is bouncing up and down in uncontrolled excitement relaying the message (yep they are poorly disguising it as rioters - but really its anyone who disagrees with him)

Wasn't that more about the local authority not treating the issues seriously, and nothing to do with the police inaction.
