Will the civil unrest we’re seeing on mainland Europe spread to the UK?

Italy Belgium and Spain are the other countries where it is kicking off , although not on the scale of France at the moment
Information has been gathered by the authorities of potential unrest in the uk planned for the 20th of November but possibly sooner

Depends what you mean.
Will there be future riots? Yeah, these things flare up from time to time.
Will it be on the same level? No, this is nothing new - France has a history of intense riots like this.

France hasn’t had anything this serious since the 1960s, the extreme left are clearly directing this. However Sly News actually tried to blame Tommy Robinson for escalating it. The stuff the politically bias MSM is showing is very tame, compared to what’s on YouTube. Last time it was this bad in France a couple of hundred Algerians ended up dead in the Seine.

No not this bad, but their riots are always more intense than here - that's what I meant.
As for far left/far right, my belief is they're as bad as each other. So in this country I'm as disgusted by the Green Party as I am by those on the far right.

The riots in France are, in the main, caused by the left and far-left and stems from several converging socio-economic and political factors:
Surging Cost of Living: Broad public anger has intensified over the rising cost of living, squeezing household finances across the country.
Education and School Conditions: The movement initially built momentum in late September as student-led demonstrations protesting deteriorating conditions, lack of resources, and underfunding in French public schools.
Resurgence of Yellow Vest (Gilets Jaunes) Demands: The escalation peaked around mid-October when organizers attempted to revive the historic gilets jaunes movement, specifically targeting President Emmanuel Macron's petrol taxes and fiscal policies.
Budgetary Austerity: Tensions have been further exacerbated by the government's push to pass an unpopular, belt-tightening austerity budget ahead of the upcoming presidential election.
The riots in Italy are, in the main, along similar lines.
Will it spread to the UK? Probably. This kind of thing, once ignited, usually spreads like a wildfire.
I hope it doesn't.

was out in Tirani,Albania recently and there was and still is an uprising there too
They were on something like day 120 of constant protests when i was there on about 140 days of protesting now but since then have turned nasty too .Took some video footage of the protests
can't see too much noise on UK media but quite high profile on world wide social media

Nothing about the Muslim brotherhood in there.

One day there will be on our shores, proper riots not some half hearted 20 people for one night and it's on the news then forgotten about but the government will be to blame. The common sense people will have had enough at some point of the it's toffee nose turds in government from taxes, cost of living to illegal immigration the list is endless with the double standards shit we have to put up with in the UK so at some point the bubble has to burst i feel. It's coming, it's just a case of when. which will all be blamed on the racists as usual as that all they ever say or far right nonsense talk.

November 20th at Trafalgar Square, the far left lunatics and others no doubt like antifa will be protesting. Wonder if the police will bother to wear riot gear.

You forgot to mention the far right lunatics.
Both sides on the extreme are terrible.

No I didn't forget to mention the far right as the far left are the ones publicising the event. Extremism in any form is unacceptable but the riots across France etc recently wasn't perpetrated by the mythical far right.

You think there’s some equivalence with the actions of the Patriots, calmly and silently blocking busses or dinghies and the violent rioting and mass destruction of the new faux left?
As Caerphilly Blue says, wonder if our politicised two tier police, will even wear riot gear.
Import the third world-become the third world.

Left-wing terrorists in France, yeah, I'm sure they are rioting because they need a bit of paint on the school walls.

Britain's more 3rd world than alot of countries out there, most are just to blind and naive to see it.
I was told this by a well travelled person 15 years back and am only just seeing what he means over the last few years.
The majority of this country devour the spoon fed shit we are given without blinking an eyelid.
Until people can see the country for what it is, poor and in huge debt it will stay as is now..

Only people who get their news from the MSM believe that.
