These arrests are not a result of the limited disorder that happened in Cardiff on Tuesday 9th August, which briefly led to the BBC to drop the term 'England Riots' in favour of 'UK Riots'. They soon changed back, not doubt on the advice of nervous police who were keen to paint these as unconnected "isolated incidents" despite all evidence to the contrary.
So far, 15 people in Wales have been arrested for posting on social media, with two arrests in Llanelli, Cardiff and Flintshire, one in Bangor plus eight people in Gwent. So far only one of these has been handed a jail sentence - four months for incitement - a sentence branded "too lenient"(!) by a Tory AM, though several more have been denied bail and held on remand for over a month, awaiting crown court.
