This is just getting ridiculous. Nothing that has happened (or is reported below the headline to have happened) this weekend remotely justifies talk of an explosion or mass protests. The media are confecting a crisis, and, in some sections of it, hoping to provoke one. 1/3
Not sure why anytime would expect anything different. They want to see everything burn.
Where did they get the idea to create the very news they're writing about?
It is the reverse of what they did for climate and nature protests. The UK media must be properly regulated. They are continuously lying about Net Zero then invisibly correcting days later IPSO is useless. It s blatant propaganda on behalf of polluting oil and gas giants.

Come on Chris, be reasonable?
How on earth can Nigel expect to get Elected ‘WITHOUT’ an entirely fabricated immigration ‘Crisis’ ? 😉😉😉
Have hated the Mail for decades, it was the newspaper my father read. When the Independent came along I made it the newspaper of the house. Sadly it never dimmed my father's casual racism.
The Fail has a lot to answer for in perpetuating the UK's scilly racist core.
A few tattooed, flag-shagging thumbs gobbing off gets the press wetting their panties with excitement. Hundreds of thousand protesting Gaza gets virtually no coverage and calls for them all to be imprisoned.
I bet more alcohol free lagers were purchased at Sunday Carveries today, than there were flag shaggin, “there are wimen” pro-testes
"...mass..."
“It didn’t happen, but if we pretend it did, maybe it will?”
The anti protests were bigger the rhetoric from the media isn’t surprising as the money men behind it are pushing the immigrant/racism card!
From Private Eye (1655 I think)
Even the bbc not reporting the ‘protests’
Years ago I was part of a tiny (c40) march for NHS nurses’ pay that Socialist Worker reported as “waves of protest sweeping through the land”
There is an immigration, misinformation tsunami on every news channel & in every newspaper in the UK atm. I lived through the racism of the 70's, 80's and early 90's from the NF, BNP & football-hooligans. This feels more sinister. Our media happily propagating damaging xenophobia is not helping us.
Lies, dangerous lies
This is probably the last weekend where this provocation could work. Tomorrow could be pivotal.
The Right-Wing Media are getting desperate as the Silly Season comes to an end and nothing has really happened. Soon the Autumn weather will drive the low lifes indoors.
Billionaire RW bullshitters, trying to coerce the easily lead, and uneducated knuckle draggers.
More like a damp squib?
Depressingly, lots of people will go out tomorrow and pay money for the Mail. The lack of critical thinking skills and the unwavering trust they place in the Mail to provided their daily input of fear is not something I’ll ever understand.
The byline for this 'story' is two trainee reporters, the headline probably written last week before whoever the editor is buggered off for Bank Holiday weekend. Yellow journalism at its finest.
Those “media” rags are complicit in fanning the flames of bigotry. The sooner they have to start printing the plain facts, without inflammatory rhetoric, the better.
Asylum-seeking is a global phenomenon, with 8.4M AS in 2024 of whom 110K sought AS in the UK & 32K are currently housed in over 200 hotels dispersed around the country. There are issues about that, including for ASs themselves, but the attempt to turn it into a national crisis is a disgrace. 2/3
Should be prosecuted
It’s pretty close to incitement. They’re pouring on petrol and praying for a spark.
Will the gov could send out a statement to this effect. The public is waiting.
How many furious families do you need to have for a mass protest?
Yes : This is precisely the way I see it.
Our last 2 manufacturing industries, consent and outrage
One has to wonder at what point false reporting to encourage violence becomes sedition. When do England’s foreign-owned nationalist newspapers become enemies of England? What is the point of nationalism that is actually the enemy of the worshipped nation?
We urgently need Leveson 2.
And the broadcast media are frantically feeding it
"Furious families": usually you see them when a parking attendant writes out a ticket for being 15 minutes over time.
"Explode"...
Have done the same too
@sundersays.bsky.social reports that there were fewer than 500 protestors across the country on Sunday …. A very small “explosion”
I've felt, that the Labour Party have been hoping for this to happen. I may be wrong, but they all seem to be winding it up.
Is this PCC territory? I wouldn’t expect anything less of the Daily Heil after their 1930s blackshirts leanings, but in this day and age… disgusting.
They are very much hoping to provoke one. They have been ploughing this furrow for 50 years, and the crop is almost ready.
I mean, the Mail is just a bonkers rag for ol' folks... nobody with half a brain would ever read it 🙄
There was mode mass inbthe counfer protesters. The Mail / Express don't do head counts. Their reporters must WFH when writing this stuff.
It is wholly irresponsible and the coverage has been obscenely one sided. From what I gather, counter protesters have consistently outnumbered any of the ingrates that have protested. It has. objectively, been demonstrated to be a failure. Good.
Lets call these people what they are - fascists inciting pogroms.
Levinson 2 is so badly needed. The IPSO is the equivalent of indicators on a BMW.
What else do you expect from that racist, xenophobic and anti-LGBTQ+ lying evil bigoted rag? Like the s6n and xpress it’s always trying to incite evil against individuals or groups, whole of Murdoch media shoulda been shut down years ago
"Furious families"?
Really?
Theres a reason why its known as the Daily Heil
Even the typeface of the masthead gives away its true identity
The use of language too: “furious families” as opposed to the “fighting age men” housed in the hotels.
They’re making it us verses them, so we don’t make it us verses themselves.
It's long past time the daily mail lost it's licence. They do nothing but stir up trouble
It’s an explosion in one of those small cups in a fertility clinic at best.
Whatever now? A shit-stirring, rabble-rousing, inaccurate headline from the Daily Mail aimed to exacerbate civil disobedience? Well I never.
"Explode" carried an implication of spontaneity, mass grass roots anger, and ignores that such protests as have occurred have been plotted and orchestrated by organised groups on the far right.
They’re not going to be happy until people actually die. They’re ghouls. Vile immoral ghouls.
The Daily Mail is owned, edited, written and read by cunts….
They need to be railed in don’t they… There has to be some degree of responsibility and accountability for the press. They just make stuff up… that can’t be allowed to carry on.
I can’t believe Oswald Moseley’s rag is still being produced
