      The assault of the refugee hotel was in rotherham, and the riots were mostly in the north of england, in labour areas where the phenomenon of the asian grooming gang were most prevalent. I remember rotherham cause it was the most in(famous) case and also one of the places of the worst riots.

          It is a link that the reasons of the riots were far more deep that a single tweet. The world is a little bit more complicated that button-> action.

            But no one is saying that a single tweet started all this.

              No one? The narrative is : fake news and tweets started all this. We need to regulate the internet. As the french revolution was started by the statements of Marie-Antoinette.

                You are right that there are underlying causes that needs to be addressed. That’s why it spread so much and so fast. But that doesn’t make racially motivated fake news OK.
