James O'Brien rubbishes 'lies' from the 'far-right' in mammoth monologue | LBC

Not surprised they attacked the library. It's like kryptonite to them. Knowledge is their enemy.

They attacked a branch of Greggs. A British company, British-owned, listed on the London stock market. It doesn't get more British than that, yet was still considered 'fair game'. Justify that.

Protest is honourable. Thuggery is despicable. Vandalism and looting is criminal. Attacking police and intimidating the population is domestic terrorism.

Exactly. This is what Noam Chomsky called "manufactured consent". Instead of being angry at the hideous inequality, the super-rich oligarchs & 'entrepreneurs' who literally take money out of the country & place it offshore, and the fact that no-one (still) will question the nonsense of trickle-down economics, it gets directed at those least able to defend themselves.

Never underestimate the power of stupidity and ignorance.

If Bravermn walked past the riots she would get destroyed by that mob. She is kidding herself.

The idea that the Tories would have spent the last 14 years giving people free anything is hilarious.

Since 2020 when I moved to the UK from India, British people have done nothing except welcome me with open arms. However, the kind of things happening in the country now, makes me feel unsafe and unwelcome. I'm an Indian man, who works for the UK, loves the UK, pays tax, and respects the values that every UK resident holds. I'm sorry that my skin is brown, but it wasn't my choice. I'm a human just like you, and I come with peace and love.

i'm in the Windrush generation, I'n born here..been through this for the last 60 years and we've seen this since the days of smethwick, we're the targets of the 'hostile environment', we're the abandoned of grenfell, we're the ones told to 'go back to your own country' and 'there's no black in the union jack' we've quietly listened to talk of 'black-on-black crime' and 'thugs and feral yout', and banter about 'monkeys' and 'immagrunts out'. we're the ones who are always asked 'where are you really from' and we're not really part of the commonwealth, now we see how the English really feel...a constant drip feed of bile, distrust and threatened violence always focused on the BLAME community..We're always bending over backwards to live with you even if you find it distasteful to live with us..

They have burnt out a citizens advice, a library and even supposedly started breaking gravestones in a churchyard to use as missiles. It’s not a protest, it’s rioting in the manner of football hooliganism or the NF. Absolutely shameful.

I used to work for the Benefits Office between 12 and 24 years ago, and the number of times I had to correct people (including my own late mother) that thought people arriving to this Country could instantly claim every benefit under the sun they were entitle to was such a false lie was insane.

I worked with refugees through my university as a program to integrate them through coaching. Two brothers turned up, wearing no shoes, the uni gave them some trainers from their stock out of pity. Two brothers I coached aged 11 and 13 saw their family blown up in front of them a few weeks before I met them in a terrorist attack. I assure you they get absolutely nothing other than a safer environment and their caseworker was in despair over how little help or funding she got. Don’t listen to far right chancers and media, they’re scapegoats.

Disgusted by the thugs who did violence, you can tell that there is no real purpose. Many looked like they were enjoying it, and just looked like football thugs.

Trevor Noah said it best, if there is one nation who has absolutely NO right to complain about immigration, it's Great Britain.

I was told by a fella down the pub "it's alright for you, you work for the council so you don't have to pay Council Tax". I showed him my payslip that proved not only did I pay council tax, but (very helpfully because I work for my own local authority) they deduct it from source - the money doesn't even hit my bank account first! People believe some very silly stuff.

James, as a Christian and fellow human being, I have to thank you for continuing to call out falsehood, corruption, injustice, prejudice and violence. You’re a leading light.

The "free cars" nonsense doesn't come out of nowhere. Shady people feed these stories to the very gullible

These riots are the results of constant dog whistling from certain characters in the previous government 🤔

It's our MAGA unfortunately

Farage is hand in glove with Trump et al. Likewise Katie Hopkins, proud of her US gun ownership, ready to fight for MAGA.
