Out of the 12 individuals jailed so far for the Southampton riots, eight have lengthy criminal records, including convictions for domestic abuse, assault, robbery, weapons offences, and grievous bodily harm against an 80-year-old woman.
34-year-old Harry Varney, a Trump supporter, has been jailed for three years after pleading guilty to violent disorder during the Southampton riots.
He has a previous conviction for domestic assault. In 2023, he physically attacked his ex-girlfriend in a hotel room on the night of his sister's wedding. He grabbed her by the neck and pinned her against a wall.
She managed to escape and ran into the corridor wearing only her underwear.
His lawyer said that he "will lose his job of ten years because of this case."
The judge said it was ironic that so many people had been identified and prosecuted because members of the crowd had recorded the disorder.
Dillon Crawford was jailed today for violence, after Henry Nowark's murder.
He has 19 convictions for battery, robbery, burglary and once broke a partner's front teeth, punched her unconscious and when she woke up told her he had put bleach in her hair.
These are no "patriots".
44-year-old Daniel Frost from Southampton has been jailed for two years and four months for violent disorder and possession of an offensive weapon, a dog lead with a metal carabiner that he had turned into a makeshift knuckleduster.
He has 25 previous convictions for 55 offences, including a six-year prison sentence for GBH and robbing an 80-year-old woman, as well as public order and burglary offences.
There are only 8 Reform MPs and they have a combined wealth of over £70,000,000.
They have consistently voted against every single improvement to workers rights and plan to scrap legal protections left right and centre.
They are funded by the bosses to rip up your rights.
Call you old fashioned? Alright, old-fashioned, @PatrickChristys, let us go through the decades you prefer.
The 1960s: Ian Brady and Myra Hindley tortured and murdered five children, buried them on Saddleworth Moor, and recorded their screams on tape.
The 1970s: Peter Sutcliffe murdered 13 women with hammers and screwdrivers across Yorkshire.
Dennis Nilsen began strangling young men in his London flat, dismembering them, boiling their skulls on his stove, and flushing the remains down the drains.
The 1980s: Michael Ryan shot 16 people dead in Hungerford. Fred and Rose West were raping, torturing, and dismembering women and girls and burying them under their house in Gloucester. Their own daughter among them.
The 1990s: Two 10-year-old boys abducted a toddler from a shopping centre in Liverpool, tortured him, and bludgeoned him to death with bricks and an iron bar.
Thomas Hamilton walked into a primary school in Dunblane and shot 16 five-year-olds and their teacher. Harold Shipman was murdering his patients by the hundred.
The 2000s: James Watt and his family enslaved a man for a decade, tortured him with baseball bats, air pistols, boiling water, and pit bull attacks, then decapitated him and dumped his body in a lake.
Mathew Hardman, 17, murdered a 90-year-old woman, cut out her heart, placed it on a silver platter, and drank her blood.
The 2010s: Derrick Bird shot 12 people dead across Cumbria.
Thomas Mair shot and stabbed an MP in the street while shouting "Britain first".
The 2020s: Jemma Mitchell decapitated her friend, stored the body for two weeks, and drove 200 miles to dump it.
Those are the decades you prefer. And for each decade there are 20 other equally horrific incidents.
And here is the thing, old fashioned Patrick. According to the Crime Survey for England and Wales, violence, burglary, and car crime have fallen by close to 90% since the mid-1990s. The ONS confirms that violent crime is two-thirds lower now than in the 1990s.
The country you live in today is measurably, statistically, dramatically safer than the one you are nostalgic for. That's not an opinion, it's a fact.
And I am not even touching Glasgow and its past knife crime epidemic.
So, which decade was better, Patrick? Tell us.

Before we all get distracted by the unelected Zia Yusuf trying to defend the indefensible on #BBCLauraK tomorrow (if he's even asked), I thought I’d sum up the past week with one clip. Groomed dullards filming themselves kneeling in the foyer of a police station nowhere near Southampton, all wound up by traitors, billionaires and foreign based media magnates. It needed a backing track, I obliged. W⚓️s
🚨Four out of the six arrested #FarageRiot-ers only turn out to be Reform UK councillors. Great work by @YoungBobRB aiding the police with some great footage!!!

@hannahspierMD 1/Hannah, we have now almost 500,000 peer reviewed published research into long covid now. “Fatigue”, “post exertional malaise (PEM)” “Brain Fog” “difficulty concentrating” are not psychiatric symptoms. They have a pathological basis and clear demonstrable abnormalities 1/
How we elect our MPs impacts everything.
Our healthcare. Education. Defence. Our safety. Our rights.
What laws and passed and not passed.
Whose voices are heard and whose interests are represented in Parliament.
Electoral reform it's not a "fringe issue" - it's a priority.
It’s estimated less than 10% of plastic waste is recycled. It takes up to 500 years for plastic to break down in landfill, & plastic pollution harms marine wildlife. Reducing single-use plastics, eg buying zero-waste & refillable products, can help.

If the next general election is held under First Past the Post, we could get a government that just 25% of people voted for.
Or we could end up in a situation where the winning party is not the one that got the most votes.
This is an emergency. PR can't wait - we need it now 🚨
