It's fine, Sir Kier says UK is broken.

The council has been under Labour majority control since 2011.

I haven't seen the video, so I will take your word for it regarding the overexuberance.

Hopefully a CCMB Labour Party spokesperson will be issuing a statement shortly.

The source was the BBC, I used that site as I thought it was befitting to some of the hysterics that was being displayed in social media.

Re: Problem in Leeds Tonight

So we have Bangladeshis in London rioting over something happening in Bangladesh
We have people in Leeds setting fire to council buses, the person caught in video doing it is ‘Asian heritage’ something to do with kids being taken into care
And we have a clueless Home Secretary who whose dept just said “ The Home Office said: "We are giving the police the resources they need to tackle crime."
