At David Lloyd in Cheadle now, these protests are supposed to be just across the way. Absolutely nobody about. Haven’t been to the exact address but you’d expect to see a few stragglers but no sign of anyone. Facebook talk suggests Cheadle then Edgeley then Bredbury Hall again. Can't see it myself.

Just been reading about all the lads appearing in court and as much as I hate what they're doing I can't help but feel for them, a 42 year old delivery driver from Cheadle his daughter's only carer remanded in custody awaiting sentence, he's just one of many who's life is ruined because the media and politicians have spent years whipping up hatred. Lads who should be home with their loved ones sat in a cell wondering why they had to get involved, it's tragic. Don't get me wrong it's also terrible for the ransacked shops and businesses and it must be terrifying for those who have fled war, famine and persecution seeing these mobs trying to get at them, there are no winners here, I know it's been a profitable grift for the likes of Farage and Robinson but even they must have some regrets now.

I get what you're saying but there has to be more personal responsiblity imo, it's way too soft to say they've just been puppeted like into these acts without realising what they were doing. I can see how it's come about but I don't see why we should feel sorry for these people, they've hardly been co-erced into it, they should know right from wrong no matter what they've been fed on social media.

Yes I know and I agree but I can't help it I'm a bit of a softy.

Fair enough, nothing wrong with being a softy :-)

They're not children though mate.

What it needs now is a bit of a reset but the dick heads appear to be all doubling down on everything which always leads me to think "sod them".

Just come out of DL, there’s a few police knocking about on the approach and near the TGIs but not seen anyone. There seems to be a few rubberneckers waiting around to watch something, but there’s nothing here to actually see - but admittedly I’m not right by the site, it’s not really accessible from DL.

I really hope that you are wearing a Martin Bell 'white suit' whilst posting these updates from the frontline.

I'm not sure that's right, they should be punished as per the sentencing guidelines, are they also going to be banned from restaurants, cinemas and concerts? Loads of them are football lads but many aren't so one group gets punished more than another.
