    Bricklayers? Why are we bringing bricklayers into this? For a start, bricklayers are very professional and actually have a job

    Haven’t heard about any riot in central London. Is there a chance you are referring to the Liverpool Street (a place in London), rather than Liverpool (a city)?

      London

      More than 100 demonstrators were arrested after clashes with officers in Whitehall on Wednesday night.

      During the protest, staged under the title of Enough is Enough, fireworks and flares were let off near a statue of Winston Churchill and towards the gates of Downing Street.

      The angry scenes also included loud chants of “We want our country back” and “Oh Tommy Robinson,” referring to the rightwing activist whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.

      Dame Lynne Owens, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, condemned the “hateful behaviour” towards officers.

    The only thing I could find in the “context”'s source was this:

    this suggests that a Russian car rallying fan had their account hijacked and repurposed as opposed to a Russian disinfo op

    which wasn’t even about the source of the claim, just one of the accounts that amplified it.
    Maybe we can just accept that Britain has a dangerous number of abhorrent racists instead of blaming it on those sneaky foreigners?
