GB News star Michelle Dewberry has hit out at “grown men setting fire to their own streets” in the wake of demonstrations in Manchester.
Protesters have accused police of racism during demonstrations sparked by footage of an officer kicking a man.
Michelle said the ongoing demonstrations are of concern and reflect a society that has surrendered to mob rule.
“I don’t know how we have ended up in a society where if someone doesn’t like an outcome, they will take to the streets”, she said.

“They will cause problems to intimidate outcomes. Where is the conversation about the woman police officer? According to some, she has had her nose broken.
“Why is there not more focus on this? You have had people arrested for affray then arrested on bail. There’s something about this situation.

“The whole thing strikes me as a bit odd. The whole thing strikes me of this notion that communities are dictating outcomes of law and order.
“We saw it in Harehills the other day where people took to the streets and trashed their neighbourhood and the children who were of concern to social services were suddenly able to go back to their home.”
Political commentator Paul Embery waded in on the discussion to say there is a risk of “mob rule” in Britain, to which Michelle responded: “That ship has sailed.”
Two nights of protests in Rochdale and Manchester City centre have followed the video which was shared on social media and filmed at terminal two of the airport on Tuesday.

An officer was seen kicking and stamping on the head of a man who was lying face down on the floor with a woman kneeling beside him.
The video also appeared to show the officer strike a second man.
IOPC regional director Catherine Bates said: “We can confirm we are conducting a criminal investigation into the use of force during events which took place on July 23 at Manchester Airport. We are arranging to interview a police constable under criminal caution as soon as possible.
“I have today met one of the men who was involved and his family members to outline our investigation and we will continue to update them and Greater Manchester Police as our inquiries progress. We will be speaking to the man involved in the second incident as soon as we can.
“The family has asked me to reiterate their call for peace and wish to stress that they do not condone any acts of violence as a result of this incident.
“We are meeting with a number of community leaders in Rochdale this afternoon to listen to their concerns and explain our role.”
