@liztai @dalias I don't think it's as wide spread as the press makes it seem. And I've not seen huge crowds. It's just that the small gangs of thugs have all come out at the same time in multiple places.
I probably wouldn't want to be back in Bolton town centre right now (where I grew up). Although, as a white guy, I'd probably be safe as long as I didn't tell the bigots to fuck off with their regressive racist views!
