@AshtonForbes From the video it clearly looks like he was just looking to defend himself from another attacker as he saw it. Possibly drunk?

What does surprise me is the language on display by the police officers. Not professional in my opinion & not at all helpful to calming the situation.

@Keir_Starmer At last!
Finally decided to do the inevitable.
Your judgement has been terrible (Mandelson etc) & you are incredibly out of touch & dismissive of huge numbers of peoples concerns.
Just hope you successor doesn't do too much damage before an election.

[Paul M @paulmurfin]

@TruthFairy131 Really need to know the background to all of this. It looks terrible!!

[Paul M @paulmurfin]

@Keir_Starmer Just same old words @Keir_Starmer.
What are you going to do to stop the next attack later today, in a few days time, a week or a month etc.

We need SIGNIFICANT ACTION not just platitudes following each horrific incident!

[Paul M @paulmurfin]

@Keir_Starmer Today those wishing for a "United" Kingdom will demonstrate. You seem to be obsessed with sowing seeds of division @Keir_Starmer with your "Us good, anybody else evil" language. You really are a shockingly bad PM completely unable to recognise issues that people face day to day.

[Paul M @paulmurfin]

@GBNEWS It's almost as though he wants violence so that he has an excuse to ban future events that he disagrees with.

EVERYBODY attending PLEASE! you've got to keep the peace and refuse to be provoked - just smile that's how to get a massive win tomorrow.

[Paul M @paulmurfin]

@Keir_Starmer Mr Starmer, you're a disgrace. You're worse than Boris Johnson & Luz Truss rolled into one. You refuse to take actual responsibility for any mistake you make.
This announcement is only likely to embolden/encourage those who wish to attack UTK attendees. Incredibly irresponsible!

[Paul M @paulmurfin]

@JohnCleese Indeed and obviously neither of those positions make any sense. It's really all about just trying to find some justifiable reason to carry out opportunistic irrational acts of hatred!

[Paul M @paulmurfin]

@JohnCleese Years ago I considered the police force as a career. Certainly wouldn't now! Just going after softest easy targets whilst other serious crime ignored. Abusive social media posts are wrong but most could be dealt with in 1st instance with warning & requirement to delete them?

I saw this video this morning on my feed and I think it so eloquently explains what Charlie Kirk was put on this earth to do.

“When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence, that is when civil war happens”

#morrisons loss was #lidls gain

[Paul M @paulmurfin]

#morrisons lost about £100 of my business today. Couldn't log on to app & not paying extra for lots of items in my trolley because I can't get to the digital more card. I wonder how much they lose this way. Sorry to staff who were left with trolley load of items to reshelve

[Paul M @paulmurfin]

@elonmusk Sorted a few myself, that felt like they were in a similar state in times gone by 😂.

Looks like you're all doing a fantastic job. Best of luck and keep going the end goal is definitely worth the pain.

[Paul M @paulmurfin]

@KonstantinKisin It's like you have a microphone in our house I was saying pretty much EXACTLY the same thing to my family only last night starting at 9/11.

Of course it's always possible to track back further and further but 9/11 looms in my mind as when things really started to go downhill.

[Paul M @paulmurfin]

@danwootton Sentencing really needs to be completely reviewed. A Public servant, should be a role model to others can punch somebody to the ground & carry on hitting, could easily have been fatal, gets 4 weeks in jail. Others write words, others disagree with & get 2.5 years. Proportionate?

[Paul M @paulmurfin]

@ThatAlexWoman Our family had this over Christmas. I was worst I can ever remember for 2 days. Wife was in bed pretty much all day for 4!! Days. And yes I had dizziness and found myself staggering for balance a few times

[Paul M @paulmurfin]

@timfarron Are you blind !
I'm appalled by ALL the violence from ALL communities. I do hope you don't find it justifiable in any way that gangs of Muslims have been videoed walking around streets with weapons including large knives attacking people as they see fit.
The silence is deafening!

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

So much focus from the British commentariat on X and Elon Musk and it's true that there were irresponsible people posting unverified allegations here. As there were on all other social media.

But looking at media reporting, if it wasn't for X, we wouldn't even know that gangs of armed & masked Muslim men are rampaging through cities up and down the country. We wouldn't see them hunting down and beating up white people. We wouldn't have yet more evidence of two tier policing. All we would have is the approved narrative.

You can see this with all the screaming about misinformation. When the founder of far left doxxing organisation Hope Not Hate posts misinformation about Muslims being targeted with acid which is completely false and obviously provocative, they just pretend it didn't happen.

Like it or not, human beings invented mass communication platforms. They aren't going away. Governments and legacy media want to crack down on them to re-establish narrative control. I can understand why but it's not going to happen.

Social media still needs a lot of work and things like Community Notes are an important first step in the right direction. We desperately need tools to counteract the fact that false but provocative spreads a lot faster than true but boring. That's human brains for you. It will take a lot of smart people like Elon to work out how to solve this problem in the era of mass communication.

But we're not going back to governments and the media being in charge of what's true. Politicians and journalists are the two least trusted groups in society for a reason.

@trboxing @Tyson_Fury Very unlikely Tyson loses this 1 in my mind. Big reach advantage, looking trim. Hopefully no headbutting or elbow from Usyk to get a silly cut. Not sure how hot it's going to be. Might be a factor. Expecting a Fury victory by tko/stoppage any time after rd 9 or points victory
