[Football] A car has ploughed into some Liverpool fans at their victory parade

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Drink was the cause? Interesting that as I went to both matches and probably drank quite a lot of beer, I don’t recall myself trying to start of fight or indeed showing any aggression to anyone else.

Long shot here, perhaps the people that drink it are the cause.

Never a cause, often an excuse.

(Same with drugs, the relevant intoxicant in the present case apparently).

I’ve never been on it, Facebook or any other similar platforms, NSC & You Tube are the only social media i use.

I was on Twitter since 2009! Had Instagram too, deleted that, and Facebook.

I only use NSC, Reddit and YouTube.

Good to see some things don't change. One of our perma-bores has hit 20 posts on this thread. Show some respect please

Exactly but as it concerned Liverpool fans I had to apply the law differently

You are an absolute disgrace!!

Showing your respect by having a go at another poster?

Yep. This thread, of all, shouldn't be a see-me-see-me

 

[Is it PotG?]

Absolutely.

Glad to hear all those injured appear now to be doing ok.

Drugs involved apparently.

Why police released details about Liverpool crash suspect so quickly

The decision shows lessons have been learned from the Southport attacks last summer, writes Daniel Sandford.

Probably wise, anything to avoid the Farage riots 2.0 kicking off.

Relieved no one has died so far, could have easily been far worse.

In case anyone is interested in the latest theory from the cesspit of right-wing Twitter/X, they’re all claiming that the person filmed driving isn’t actually 53, as if they can tell his age from a very poor picture, and not only that he is actually a remote controlled dummy and the police are lying to us all about having arrested a driver at all. Presumably this narrative is leading towards the conclusion they want that it’s a brown skinned terrorist behind it.

Edit to add: footage of some bloke pulling off the rear number plate once the crowd starts vandalising the car is also spawning more crackpot conspiracy theories. Dear oh dear.

I wish I was making this up. I’m not.

I’m sure the very quick response from emergency services prevented deaths.

Twitter is like the National Enquirer, a 'newspaper' bought by millions of Americans and Canadians.

When I lived in Canada I remember some corker headlines:

"Famed psychic's head explodes"
"Elvis' grave found on the moon" (this one was reproduced in the UK, maybe in the ooh aaah Daily Star).

The trouble is that too many thick people have too much money and free time, and not enough supervision.
Forty years ago it was said "Q. What do you get if you give the plebs money? A. Fat plebs".
Today, what do you get when you give plebs enough money for a smart phone?
You can guess the rest.
