Riots and disorder are never the answer.

Lib Dems locally very strongly repeat and reinforce what Ed Davey, leader of the Liberal Democrats said about the riots and sheer criminality which has been besmirching Britain over the last few days.

Ed said

Riots and disorder are never the answer - I join the Prime Minister in condemning the extremists who have exploited this terrible tragedy to spread violence and hate, and welcome the steps taken to put an end to those horrible scenes - I want to thank our brave police officers who have once again put themselves in harm’s way to keep us safe. I am devastated by the horrifying attack that took three innocent young lives. My heart aches for the families of Elsie, Alice and Bebe who have suffered such an unbearable loss. It is remarkable how the community in Southport has come together to grieve and support each other in the wake of this awful tragedy. It is that response of love and compassion, not riots fuelled by hatred and misinformation, that shows the true nature of the British people."

Lib Dems locally feel equally that the media calling these rioters ‘protesters’ sends the wrong message and giving Farage and his crew disproportionate airtime simply reinforces that wrong message. 

Britain and its people are better than the picture the riots have painted of us, but remember the simple fact that currently there are no safe and legal routes for asylum seekers trying to reach Britain.
