No doubt the police will get blamed for a heavy handed approach in certain news outlets.

BBC likely say it was largely peaceful

They're probably just upset about Labour's Father's Day tweet, or care leavers and career returners being encouraged to find work. It's a funny old world.

Can I be the first to say, why were they rioting?

There seem to have been quite a number of similar around the country recently. Not really surprising given current circumstances.

BBC covering things up again. It's a disc race.

I heard it started as a 'block party' similar to a few others that have been going off recently and police have been struggling with. Carnival time is going to be an absolute f***ing nightmare for the police with it being cancelled

Because they don't like the police telling them what they can and can't do.
