This is not going to be the meme filled piece I am linking to be our starting point. This may actually belong with our late winter farmer protests. But either way we are seeing the explosion of the expanded protest narrative. So while the degradations and deplorable news emanate from Paris and we await some closure in the Democrats race to the bottom, let's have a look at the newest rounds of street arguments. (In reverse chronological order, not sure why. Don't ask silly ??!)

🇬🇧 Protests Against Migrants in the UK
Recently, we observed migrants organizing mass riots in Leeds after social services attempted to remove children from troubled families. Their actions cost the British budget one million pounds.
Now, another high-profile incident has provoked another round of violence. A seventeen-year-old native Englishman criminal carried out a massacre at a children's dance studio in Southport, killing three girls and injuring eight others, with at least two in critical condition.
📌 The police arrested the youth, but the authorities do not want to disclose the identity. It is possible that he turns out to be a migrant, with some media reporting he arrived from Rwanda, though this is unconfirmed.
After the crime, concerned locals held a vigil, but it turned into riots. Hundreds gathered near the local mosque, attacking its facade. The far-right organization EDL (English Defense League) has been accused of inciting the chaos.
Police arrived to stabilize the situation, but 50 law enforcement officers were injured, and another police van also suffered.
🔻 The ongoing events are a natural consequence of the government's policy, which has led to a large influx of migrants and growing discontent among the local population. We do not see any prerequisites for a fundamental change in the situation.

🔸The Russian Embassy in London has rejected reports of Russian involvement in fomenting unrest in Britain.
The British media saw the Russian trace in the riots that began after the attack on children in the city of Southport. Against this background, the Embassy reminded that Moscow does not interfere in the affairs of sovereign states. ↩t.me/ConflictChronicles🔸

⬆🔸This is exactly the behaviour from the Police and, more generally, from the establishment, that will lead to MORE protests.
BLM protests? Perfect. Take the knee.
Leeds protests. Poor Romany. The family is so important for them!
Gillingham? What? Sorry, not sure what you are referring to?
Southport? Savages! Barbarians! The far right must be stopped, our democracy is in danger!
As I said yesterday, "That which is not sustainable, in the long run will NOT be sustained".
One month into a Labour government and Starmer has already lost the street.
If solutions within the system are unthinkable, as is obviously the case currently, solutions will be looked for outside the system.
An interesting aspect of the Labour "landslide" is that Westminster is now basically irrelevant.

'Southport was just the spark': UK hit by unrest as far-right exploits knife attack tragedy
The UK has been hit by violent unrest in recent days following a knife attack targeting children, with far-right anti-immigration groups accused of using the tragedy to incite further disorder. Violence erupted first in Southport and then spread to other towns, raising key questions about the role of social media, political responses, and the far-right’s influence in fueling these disturbances.

Fascinating take from @jamesdelingpole on the narritives and potential psyops that are used by the liar stream media!
Perhaps everyone should take a step back, think more logically and objectively rather than surmise a tradegy so heinous that it would surely make your blood boil.
Whilst through historical themes of brutality and heinous crimes against humanity we realise that the crown, government and its assets openly use Black Swan events to usher in marshal law, tyranny and oppression of the People of a Nation.
We go though history to understand that 9/11, 7/7, Manchester arena and the like were all hit pieces to create a narritive that allows your Government's to bring in the most draconian rules and laws of your own enslavement even further.
We hear all the what ifs and reactions from the mob who get paid generously to subvert the actual truth from the public so that every bit of it is controlled through the crown, government, Globalist industrial complex.
It is then realised that what they were or had told you were actually complete lies and their motives were so heinous that your synapses couldn't even make the connection between truth and lie, your grey matter is so obscured by the implantation of false detail that your cerebral cortex starts to die.
If your cerebral cortex was opened up to analyse the true nature of circumstances you would start to fathom that you have always been played by the mechanics of the industrial complex establishment to such an extent that you no longer can use your logic to think objectively any more! ↩t.me/TheAlternativeOne🔸

Ireland – Mass Immigration and the Great Reset
On Monday morning, Ireland would awake to reports of unrest in the Dublin suburb of Coolock, when after months of peaceful protest by local residents over plans to move upwards of 500 male migrants into a disused paint factory in the working-class neighborhood, tensions would come to a head when Irish riot police cleared the on-site protest camp in a heavy-handed early morning raid. In response, work vehicles intended to convert the site would be set ablaze, leading to scenes reminiscent of the north of Ireland in the late 60s or early 70s.

🇮🇪The patience of the residents of the Irish town of Dundalk has run out. They took to the streets to protest against migrants who not only threaten their lives but also take away important resources.
It became known recently that a local school will be transformed into a migrant center.🔸
🔸🇮🇪🇺🇦It turns out that Dundalk residents are protesting against the local authorities' plans to house 260 Ukrainian refugees in an orphanage.
Protesters were seen with banners saying “Dundalk Says No,” Irish flags and one banner reading “Dump woke politicians. Elect patriots. Ireland is full.” Three people were arrested for public order offences.
When will the authorities start to realize that the interests of their citizens are more important than virtue signaling?
With each passing day, Ukrainians fleeing the country look less and less like refugees. This causes justified anger among the locals, who have enough problems as it is.

🇳🇬 Dancing Nigerians Defy Govt With #EndBadGovernance Protests
Thousands of Nigerians are starting ten days of nationwide protests to express frustration with the country's economic conditions.
The protest organizers are demanding a reversal of the fuel price hike, the restoration of affordable electricity tariffs, and the reduction of import duties to previous rates. They are also calling for reversing recent hikes in tertiary education fees, full transparency and accountability in governance, public disclosure and reduction of public officials' salaries and allowances, and establishing an emergency fund to support SMEs.
The State Security Service (SSS) claims the protests aim to undermine the government and create chaos, and the Nigerian Army has vowed to take proactive measures to maintain control.
Nigerian police fired tear gas to disperse crowds of protesters in the capital city Abuja on Thursday, as hundreds rallied against the escalating cost of living and governance issues in Africa's most populous nation, according to eyewitness accounts.
Protesters gathered across various Nigerian cities to voice their discontent with government reforms that they claim have worsened the living cost crisis.

🇳🇬 At least 13 killed in protests over Nigeria's economic crisis - Rights group
At least 13 protesters were killed during mass protests in Nigeria against the country's economic crisis that turned violent in several states, a rights group said Friday.
Authorities confirmed four people killed by a bomb and the arrests of hundreds in the protests that triggered curfews in several states.
Amnesty International’s Nigeria director Isa Sanusi said in an interview that it independently verified the deaths that were reported by witnesses, families of the victims and lawyers.
More than 300 protesters were arrested and curfews imposed in the northern states of Kano and Katsina after the looting of government and public properties, Nigerian police said.
One police officer was also killed and several others injured.
The protests were mainly over food shortages and alleged bad governance in the country. Nigeria’s public officials, frequently accused of corruption, are among the best paid in Africa, a stark contrast in a country that has some of the world's poorest and hungriest people, despite being one of the continent’s top oil producers.

Situation as of 7:00 PM on July 18, 2024
The massive protests in Bangladesh have gone largely unnoticed. Over the past two days, 2,700 people have been injured, with 39 reported dead and 466 in serious condition. We're investigating the situation with our colleagues from @medmannews.
🔻What's the Cause?
Since July 1, students have been protesting the quota system for government jobs, which reserves over 50% of public sector positions.
🔻What Provoked the Clashes?
▪️On July 15, students were attacked by supporters of the quota system and the ruling party. Unrest spread, with almost 300 people injured at Dhaka University.
▪️On July 16, the government closed university dorms and deployed police.
▪️Internet outages and social media access issues have been reported.
▪️Today, 229 police platoons were deployed nationwide, while pro-government activists confronted the protesters.
Police efforts are insufficient, with protesters seizing a TV station and driving security forces off campuses.
🔻The government has called for negotiations, but the peak of the escalation has not yet passed. Concessions on the quota issue may be needed to appease the protesters.

🔸Bangladesh enforced a nationwide curfew to quash student-led demonstrations against government job quotas with military personnel and police patrolling the largely deserted streets of the capital, Dhaka.
Dozens of people have been killed this week and several thousand are believed to have been injured, the Reuters news agency reported citing data from hospitals across the country. The Dhaka Medical College Hospital received 27 bodies on Friday, as the death toll climbed to 114 people.

Soldiers set up checkpoints on Saturday, shortly after the government ordered a curfew to block the protests – which have been further fuelled by economic insecurity – that sharply escalated this week.
The government continues to impose a near total internet blackout since Thursday on the nation of 170 million amid its crackdown on the student protesters. Text message services and overseas telephone calls remain disrupted.
The curfew was eased for two hours from noon on Saturday to allow people to shop for supplies.
