I know the area far too well. It’s an absolute hole. No surprises here.

Apparently Romanians getting upset about something.

Isn't there where the "green" party had a councillor elected on a Allahu Akbar manifesto wth a single focus on Gaza?

I expect the catalytic convertor will be recycled by the morning

Prefer the London riots, more stylish, Smiths T-Shirt, nice pose. Would make a good jigsaw.

Very intelligent, vandalising a police car while being filmed.
Will be a lot locked up in the morning..

No chance everyone involved will be locked up
Simply to many and some look very young.
Plus look to be at least 2 ethnic groups.

Police won't be going in to arrest more given the result of this incident causing this amount of violence.

Expect condemnation, leaders blaming poverty etc

Some pictures being released asking for info as to the people.
Maybe one or two charge over a long period.

It's a s##t show and shows how unprepared and unable the police are able to react to larger incidents like this.

You only need to go through certain areas in Leeds and Bradford to realise theirs a strong sense of community that will work against the police if required.

Children being taken into care ?

Local rumour is that social services came to take some children into care, the locals disagreed.

Allegedly the newly elected councillor is up there too.

Apparently Roma, not Romanian.

Some very high quality videos of 2x people attempting to set fire to a bus: (seems somebody was successful eventually)

This doesn’t strike me as a very sensible thing to do…

They are lucky lesbian nana isn’t on shift tonight, or they would be in the st.

[Hugo Stiglitz]

The fact that they don't card that they are being filmed or covering their faces - how often do they get police in that area or is it a no go area?

That’s the main high street, it really isn’t a no go area.

No idea about the residential part where the original incident was.

What’s the main cause for all this tonight?

Well they certainly have me convinced. Social services obviously have it all wrong, the children are clearly living in a safe and stable environment.

Twitter/X says Romanian family had their kids took off of them by social services

That's probably about 35k of taxpayers money destroyed.
