See the problem here ?
Britain is an island of 3 countries.
I do not see any riots in Wales or Scotland. This is a crisis of social identity for those who are rioting in England.
Not for the first time either. It needs to be properly addressed. It’s not a policing problem.

Scotland has a choice between 2 futures;
One where we build warships for a fading empire that cannot afford them anyway.
Or one where we build a renewable energy powerhouse for our own future, working to

Just for context; Differences of opinion about spending £0.6m raised by members on SNP campaigns for Independence are a rolling media circus.
