The situation in Britain continues to get crazier and darker by the day.
But, hey, the police have got this!
In fact, they’ve just arrested their youngest person to date over the riots — an 11 year-old-child!
It’s unclear at this time exactly what this child did to warrant an arrest, but we do know that dozens of other suspects have been taken in due to social media posts the government didn’t like.
ARRESTED FOR POSTING MEMES.
Take a look at what’s going on:
Absolutely insane. British police have arrested their youngest person yet over the unrest in Middlesborough—an 11-year-old. It’s unclear if he was picked up for posting mean tweets online like dozens of other suspects who’ve since been sent to prison.

Independent reported:
An 11-year-old child is now thought to be the youngest person to have been arrested over far-right riots in the UK.
Cleveland Police said they had detained the child as a part of a series of raids over riots in Middlesbrough.
The force have now arrested 110 people following the widespread trouble in Hartlepool and Middlesbrough, which was some of the worst seen in recent memory.
The teams arrested 14 people aged 11 to 43 during a series of raids, in which some members of the media accompanied them on Wednesday.
Before the teams set out, Superintendent Marc Anderson briefed them, saying: “I was Silver Commander on Sunday August 4 and never in my 30 years’ service have I seen anything like that in Middlesbrough.
“What the community had to put up with that day was completely unacceptable.”
He warned officers to take their personal safety seriously and to secure the addresses they were raiding, given that suspects will know the courts have handed out hefty sentences for disorder.
One strike team, followed by the PA news agency, arrested two people – a man aged 23 and his 43-year-old mother – on suspicion of violent disorder, from an address in St Catherine’s Court, Middlesbrough.
BBC also confirmed:
An 11-year-old child was among those arrested during early morning raids on Wednesday, following riots across the country.
Fourteen people were detained, aged between 11 and 43, on suspicion of violent disorder, including a mother and her son.
Cleveland Police has now arrested 110 people following widespread disorder across Hartlepool and Middlesbrough almost a month ago.
Supt Marc Anderson, who was Silver Commander during the Middlesbrough disorder, said he had never “seen anything like” it in his 30 years of service.
The raids follow a Cleveland Police operation involving 40 detectives scouring hours of CCTV footage, body cam images and social media posts.
Violence broke out in Middlesbrough on 4 August, a few days after similar trouble in Hartlepool on 31 July.
So, let me get this straight: police still aren’t arresting the migrants stabbing and attacking people on the streets?
Instead, they’re going after literal children.
One thing’s for sure: these are dark days, and there is something deeply broken in Britain. And, all of this started happening as soon as the liberal parties took over power in the country.
We can’t allow this to spread to other countries, including our own.
Let this be a reminder of how important it is that you get out and VOTE this November to restore common sense to our country, and others.
