I was sent some pictures this morning on Facebook and elsewhere showing me some quite serious disturbances that had taken place in Southall in West London last night.
I looked at it and thought, can this actually be true?
And I say that because it wasn't being reported by British media organisations. Was this something perhaps that happened a few years ago?
Had I missed it? But no, absolutely not. Last night was Eid, where people celebrate the end of the fast at Ramadan.
Nigel Farage spoke out on last night's chaos in Southall

And of course, Southall has always had a very, very high percentage of people who originate from South Asia. Well, I'm afraid it was all true.
Very, very large numbers of people gathered and suddenly things start to fly.
The police issued a statement on last night's scenes
GB NEWS
Bricks, bottles. Pieces of wood. The police are not dressed at this stage in riot gear. Though later on in the evening they were.
It was clearly quite a dangerous situation, and as I understand it, only one arrest made. These pictures do show something about what is going on in our country.
The complete breakdown of law and order on London streets. And what's more, non-British cultures who just take over our streets on a regular basis.
The mystery is, why is no other broadcast organisation talking about this story?
I think you know the answer. We went to Ealing police and we asked them for a statement, a very lengthy statement.
But perhaps the key part of it is, and this comes from Sean Wilson, the chief superintendent: "As officers attempted to speak to these people about their safety, they were surrounded by a crowd again, many of whom were not from Southall before items, including bottles, were thrown toward them. "
Well, if they weren't from Southall, whether they'd come from Richmond or wherever, I find that statement by the police actually rather difficult to believe.
But maybe, maybe the reason it's not making national news is because this sort of thing is now expected.
This sort of thing has now become commonplace. Such is the breakdown of law and order. Maybe it's not. I'm not trying to hide the truth from the public.
