So why the assumption that the Southport murderer must have been a Muslim asylum seeker? Why the attacks on mosques? Why thr attacks on and abuse of non white people as part of these riots whilst white immigrants are ignored?
Not really, Reform MPs don't exactly have seats in most of the heavily populated areas.
I don't think Farage bears any responsibility for triggering the riot, however he is the leader of Reform and many of their members are definitely involved. So he does bear some responsibility for not trying to settle things down once it all started kicking off.
Perhaps because they seem to integrate into society better? Possibly?
I will try yes. But please note I did use words such as “perhaps “ “seem” and “possibly “ so I was not being dogmatic. Also, to save me going on a wild goose chase and doing loads of research for you, I am assume you will only accept citations from peer- reviewed academic journals ( which I do have access to via Springer as I am an editor for them? )
By clicking their heels together three times and saying "there's no place like home" of course.....
You don't think it's an excuse, they may feel differently for a whole spectrum of reasons. They might believe that immigrants get preferential treatment, or that they get better jobs and homes. Or they may believe that white people are getting blamed for the world's problems, that white people are being "erased", or that being English is something to be ashamed of. Social media is full of content that could make people any or all of these things, plus much more.
And? There a plenty of other places where there hasn't been any unrest that don't have any Reform MPs.
Theirs not that many of them, statistically most will be in labour areas because nearly all cities voted labour
Which ones?
i don't understand
but none of that is true. That's why it isn't an excuse. Even if a tiny bit were true it would still not be an excuse to burn down a library !
Perhaps I’ve missed something but why mention Mansfield alongside Clacton. Mansfield doesn’t have a Reform MP. Mansfield was a Labour gain from the Conservatives. The conservatives still came second by quite a margin over third placed Reform.
Okay, you're correct. I should have said "supporters" rather than "members".

It is interesting comparing reactions between these riots and the riot in Leeds. The latter had lots of people talking about “third world mentality”, the former seems to be all about the “legitimate concerns” of thugs.
same as anyone who fights with the police deserves to be kicked in the head vibes after the Manchester airport issues.
But apparently according to those above Farage has no culpability in these riots
This particular Holiday Inn Express has been shut to the public for nearly 2 years, as are a lot of hotels in the deprived towns of Yorkshire, particularly West and South Yorkshire, for the very same reason. It doesn't seem to be an issue in the tourism spots, and well to do towns though. York, Whitby, Beverley, Wetherby, Tadcaster, Hebden, Skipton.... you wouldn't know there was any mounting tension. Wakefield however, there's at least 4 hotels closed to the public. A friend of mine had his contract terminated as an employee because of closing to the public. Anyway...you've looked at the wrong hotel. Whilst the media keeps saying Rotherham, it's actually in Manvers. Quite a way out of Rotherham. Nowhere near the actual town of Rotherham. In the area of Thurnsco, Goldthhorpe, Bolton on Dearn etc.
Really? The expansion of the EU into Eastern Europe was one of the major factors for Brexit.
Perhaps because of being Muslims, and/or have come to the country without invitation? Is there evidence that white immigrants have been deliberately ignored? (except restricting them by voting Brexit, presumably?). But of course they have got to be painted as racists.
It don't think that can be reasonably said. It may or may not be true, depending on all sorts of factors and views of fairness ( for instance, does everybody born here get priority for employment, housing, health care etc over immigrants?).
which it probably is (at least on some measure)
Correct.
If that relatively mild criticism is to blame for the riots, Ed Milliband is responsible for putting promises to restrict migration in his manifesto.Okay, you're correct. I should have said "supporters" rather than "members".
As to members who are involved (by fanning the flames), see what Rupert Lowe (on of their MPs) has been saying since the riots started:
‘We are a Christian country!’ Reform's Lowe rages at mass migration amid wave of unrest
Protesters have taken to the streets, vandalised property and clashed with police officers
I would say there is equality of opportunity. What there is not is equality of is exploitation of that opportunity. That failure, however, is not down to the colour of your skin or the deity you worship. It is down to the width of your parents wallet!
Asylum seekers are, by law, not allowed to work. They are also not given any choice as to where they are placed for housing.
Islam is practised by only about 2% of people in Rwanda. It’s highly unlikely this person is Muslim.
So if it turns out he is, for example, Roman Catholic, we can expect these brave patriots to switch from attacking Mosques to attacking Roman Catholic churches.
They are Christian; it has been widely reported. I will edit this post with a link and quote shortly.

I was being sarcastic, the judge should have been asked to reveal the suspect's identity sooner.
But we are talking about people's perceptions, facts don't always come into consideration for them. And in many areas people actually believe what they see on social media, no matter how much of an echo chamber it is. In their minds, or at least some, the violence is justified because they don't feel as though they are heard. So when social media tells them the attacker was a Muslim kid fresh off a boat, they were away kicking down walls to use the bricks to throw.
