Who started the riots with misinformation? A white right winger? Nah!

Notch is very rambley this morning. Notch says 50% of the population are calling the riots "the Farage riots". Charlie George says 64% of the population blame immigration for the riots. @carmanmemoranda asks for proof of Charlie Georges percentages (”Made up claim, or something to back it up?”) but he doesn’t ask for proof of Notch’s percentages. Why is that? Perhaps he already has that proof so perhaps he can show it because Notch sure as hell won’t.
 
Half of British voters believe Nigel Farage is personally “responsible” for the riots which broke out across the UK earlier this month.
Polling by Savanta seen by Huffpost shows that 51% of the public blame the Reform UK leader for the disorder, which led to hundreds of arrests and tough prison sentences for some of those involved. Farage came just behind former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson, who was blamed by 54% of those polled. Billionaire X owner Elon Musk came next on 44%, with prime minister Keir Starmer being blamed by 40%.

The poll of 2,237 people, carried out between August 9 and 11, also showed that 64% of people believe the police had dealt with the riots well - despite claims of “two-tier” policing by, among others, Farage.

Farage has since admitted that he was repeating false claims made on social media by, among others, Andrew Tate.

Elsewhere, the poll found that 82% of British adults think those who took part were most to blame for the civil unrest, with 75% blaming far-right organisations and 73% saying social media companies were responsible.
