There comes a time when people have to come together and decide that children dying is good.
That time is whenever a Jew or a brown person decides to start killing children.
Ministers will take a “nick them quick” approach to rioters, with plans for courts to sit for 24 hours to deal with suspects, but said there was no need to bring in the army.
After violent disorder in a number of UK towns and cities, Diana Johnson, the policing minister, said it was “absolutely” the plan to carry out swift arrests, charging and sentencing.
The approach is aimed at taking rioters off the streets as quickly as possible and to act as a deterrent.
The Police Federation warned this weekend that officers might not be able to attend other incidents as they scramble to respond to the widespread disorder, with outbreaks of violence in places including Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham, Stoke and Belfast.
Asked whether enough was being done to tackle the unrest, Johnson told BBC News she wanted to send “a very clear message” that those involved would be brought to justice.
“We have been reassured that the police have the resources that they need to be able to deal with what’s happening at the moment,” Johnson said. “They have longstanding plans in place for mutual aid if they need to put extra police officers into certain parts of the country. We are certainly not hearing that things like 999 calls are not being answered.”
She said there would be penalties and consequences for criminal disorder and it would “not be tolerated”.
The photos and videos are certainly encouraging.
I’m a big supporter of total carnage.
Total carnage on the streets of Britain raged on last night.
Here is a shocking summary of what happened where for @Daily_Express👇

This whole mass immigration project was never going to not result in mass violence.
Most of the protesters are not violent, it’s the police that are starting most of the violence, because the police are being told that it is illegal to protest immigration and everyone just has to take it. But when the cops attack, people are fighting back.
This is new, it’s interesting, and I like it.
I’m anti-violence or whatever. But I like watching it.
I also don’t care this is happening to the cops. Anyone who supports the cops is stupid or evil.
“These poor cops, they’re just trying to defend the rights of brown people to murder children, and these wicked citizens are making so much trouble for them.” This is not a winning message.
