Only caught the end of ‘Policing Protest’ on BBC Radio 4 but there was some tosh being talked about politicians and secret plans. Not sure I can face listening to the remainder

Some thoughts from me in the The Guardian on where we find ourselves now in relation to the recent riots: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
"the eventual end of the 2011 disorder was thought to have been a result of mass policing and tough sentencing by the courts." Er... What about anti-racist protesters Tim Newburn? theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Excellent piece by Tim Newburn on the need for a national inquiry to understand not just the reasons for the disorder, but also to inform future policy addressing the root causes.
In 2011, "The communities affected were largely ignored. Almost nothing was done to address the problems the riots so clearly illuminated. We find ourselves in a similar position today" -Prof. Tim Newburn theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
‘Rioting is generally an indicator that all is not well in the body politic. We ignore this at our peril.’ Good piece by Tim Newburn challenging lazy narratives & ill-informed assumptions about recent events. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Thoughtful article from Tim Newburn on responding to riots. Thank you.

In the aftermath of the UK riots, Prof. Tim Newburn argues we should be looking to understand what caused them & why people chose to get involved. Failing to do so, he says, could prevent us from stopping more from happening in the future. Read more: tinyurl.com/39enjccr
I read @zoesqwilliams.bsky.social' article with great interest and share the concerns. I remain on this platform (just) because there's still a lot of stuff to like. In terms of Musk, I think avoiding Tesla might be more effective than avoiding Twitter/X
Have been in East Yorks for a story this week and passing through Hull - picked up the free The Hull Story 🇺🇦 and just read their 7 (!) pages of brilliant reporting on the riots. Thank god for local journalism
Dan Hancox Tim Newburn John Drury We agree there needs to be an urgent review at Govt level looking at causes, triggers & underlying issues with the aim preventing a repeat. The most immediate concern in places like Hull is trying to rebuild confidence in communities affected. Great piece by Tim Newburn
Racism? Poverty, drink & social media? We still don’t know why Britons rioted – and we need answers After all that violence, we face the choice that confronted Cameron & Thatcher: to seek real explanations or move blindly forward theguardian.com/commentisfree/… Tim Newburn on The Guardian
Interesting - a call for a public inquiry on the riots and their causes by Tim Newburn theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
