Quote: Billy Bunter @ 6th August 2024, 5:23 PMYes, because it's all been getting so well for the Labour government (as Starmer's approval rating plummets 16 pts according the the latest YouGov poll) and the "Free World" has become so much safer and secure over the four years since its current (so-called) leader took office.
Polling is interesting actually.
Starmer's popularity surged after the election and Labour are still way ahead.
Sky summarise the other findings about the riots:
"86% of Britons think social media has been a driving force behind the violence, beaten only by those actually taking part at 88%.
The other main contributors to the disorder, according to the public, are far right groups, news media, recent immigration policy, and EDL founder Tommy Robinson.
Just under half of people think Reform leader Nigel Farage bears some responsibility for what's happened, after he questioned - baselessly - whether police were hiding information about the Southport knife attack from the public."
Most people support the government on this, not the Far Right thugs.
