In full: Two rioters sentenced to 32 months in prison for their parts in Southport disorder

John O’Malley and William Morgan will be sentenced for their parts in recent violent disorder in Southport.

This morning, Sir Mark Rowley warned that rioters are criminal thugs, not patriots.

The Metropolitan Police Commissioner said those involved in the violent disorder which has broken out since the Southport killings would spend years in prison as a consequence of their actions.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Sir Mark said: “We’ve got criminal damage, violence, weapons offences, football banning orders. These are criminal thugs.

“Any suggestion that they’re patriots, or they’ve got a cause that they’re protesting about is nonsense, and frankly, most of them are going to be charged with violent disorder and most of them are going to prison for a few years.”

  1. Two Tier sentencing. Have those Muslims who broke the police woman's nose at Manchester Airport been sentenced? Did John O'Malley and William Morgan get a nice Muslim lawyer to plead their case on the BBC and Sky News? Two Tier Keir!

  2. What about the origin of the hatred that caused the murder? (i.e., hatred for western culture) Until that is addressed, the riots are likely to continue.

  3. Two white men. No muslim rioters have been arrested. Why? Dont dare say muslims dont riot. Done lie by saying no muslims have been identified as rioters. Further proof of two tier policing

  4. The numbers that came out last night in counter protest where far higher than anything the far right could muster, and they were peaceful. The Mail & Express have come out against them, Farage is trying to wash his hands of them, and many of them will be spending years in prison for basically coming out and attacking communities based on completely false story about the perpetrator of the Southport massacre. Not the sharpest of tools, but still, most definitely TOOLS.

  5. While I completely denounce civil unrest and violence against the police and a mosque I also object to the 2 tier policing and islamification of some of our towns and cities and the lack of action to secure our borders against illegal migrants who may be criminals or terrorists

  6. Let's be clear who's at fault here. The immigration policy of the government and the laws protecting these migrants. Enough is enough deport every single one. We will not comply

  7. These judges/ people are cowards, they know what the Koran actually says; It’s a violent book and they’re giving away to violent terrorists!

  8. The Two Tier British justice system can move remarkably quickly when it suits a politician from its own circles. Just not when it suits the Post Office post masters.

  9. It is counter productive if these people now understand they will be released soon due to overcrowding! How costly is it to build new prisons that rich UK is choosing to release dangerous people rather than building new prisons?
