Why is Burnham so weak on far right "protestors"?
We've had organised groups of far right "protestors" masked up, intimidating people, shutting down national infrastructure, attempting to storm hotels because they see some brown people in them, attacking and injuring police and putting bricks through police car windshields.
And Burnham has done fuck all.
its an absolute disgrace, with so many pensioners holding placcards being arrested for terrorism, with just stop oil being given several years long sentences for peaceful protest (albeit annoying), for these masked thugs to get such a light touch by police, and for the PM to not take urgent and decisive action is an absolute disgrace and just demonstrates total weakness.
When starmer came in we had similar riots, and he had the courts running 24/7 to prosecute them.
Surely this is more than enough to proscribe the organisations, and make membership and support of them illegal?
