      Lol, so ban every news… We have politicians telling worst thing that a simple fake news and no one riot. Maybe a thousand of rapes in one city could cause it. Here ONE rape is a news with the name and the nationality of the criminal. Why the people that havr covered that are not in jail?

        She has not been jailed and we don’t know what she posted.

        Obviously there is no ground to ban every news but I agree something should be done about politicians and media spurring hate.

          About spreading hate? Like one thousand rapes in one city, like everyone have one friend/relative victim of it and the problem is spreading hate? I hope you are jocking. ( i’m talking about rotherham )

              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.
