Dozens of people suspected of throwing bricks and attacking members of the public during last summer’s riots are still wanted by police forces across England.
The police have launched a webpage with images of 40 people they are seeking in relation to rioting provoked by the far right after the Southport murders.
Pockets of disorder broke out outside hotels housing asylum seekers and mosques across England and Northern Ireland when false rumours spread online that the killer of three young girls in the Merseyside town was a foreign-born Muslim.
Far-right influencers urged their followers on to the streets, where rioters set alight buildings, destroyed property and attacked members of the public and the police.
The unrest led to 1,876 people being arrested, with 1,110 charged so far, the National Police Chiefs’ Council said.
However, a further 40 people are still sought by five forces – Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Cleveland, Northumbria and Avon and Somerset – with police calling on the public to help them identify the people in the pictures
Smashing the place up, causing unnecessary damage then the cost of cleaning of it all up, it’s all just mindless acts of pathetic behaviour.
It’ll never get my support. If you’re rioting you’re not helping anyone or aiding the cause you think you’re supporting.
Don’t act like nob heads then call cry foul when you get banged up for it.

Given a significant % of the British electorate (regardless of ‘class’) probably share some of the right-wing values of these wanted individuals, getting anyone to phone anonymously is going to be quite the challenge.

If only the police would use facial recognition routinely, perhaps that might make it easier to find these people?

I was actually going to join those riots, but I remembered I have a job and shit to do, so I just stayed home.

Well, soon the porn and forum face photo age verifications will catch them, right?

Can they not just run facial recognition against the nonce database?

It’s amazing how many of these goose marches already have criminal convictions.

What about the gangs who were roaming past sky news presenters with swords looking for anybody who looked white?

George Orwell’s 1984 was meant as a warning, not as a blueprint for government.
