Glad to be back here, though, it's more or less as Twitter used to be.

Back in April, Byline Times raised the issue that no lessons seem to have been learned after last summer's riots. The Government did not say an inquiry was underway.

As agitation & discussion begins again, why didn't Westminster's media-political class keep this on the agenda? The water we swim in.

Not necessarily for this but for him being a criminal full stop.
