Understand the sentiment completely, felt something similar on the morning of the Brexit vote announcement.Lived in this country for 13 years, never until today thought twice about going out because of the colour of my skin.
Matty not very smart… there will be a few more like this.

I know I’ve said in this thread a couple of times already, but I’m hoping the scale of obnoxious violence and vandalism will have the effect of pushing the rest of the population away from that political alignment. As in, people who are casual anti-immigration are turned away from it by seeing these wankers on the rampage.67 million or so. But I have no doubt there is a hefty chunk of that population who would be politically aligned with those on the streets. Just as is the case throughout Europe.
They may be recommending the far right in Portugal to come to the UK and trash the place.Some right wing portuguese troglodytes on social media saying these rioters are showing the rest of europe how you defend your country. feck me...
Feeling the same as in the office tomorrow and now worried for my wife and kids when they go out. There needs to be a much tougher response on these racists.7 years for me, stayed at home all day today & worried about going to work tomorrow
I feel you man.Lived in this country for 13 years, never until today thought twice about going out because of the colour of my skin.
Defending it by setting it on fire. fecking morons, the lot of them.Some right wing portuguese troglodytes on social media saying these rioters are showing the rest of europe how you defend your country. feck me...
Poor Tommy
Maybe we can put all far right nuts in one country and let them have their utopia. If england has to take the fall then so be it...They may be recommending the far right in Portugal to come to the UK and trash the place.
Labour have been pandering to these segments for votes, so the gloves stay on for now.Any ideas why we aren't seeing a stronger response from the authorities? More use of pepper spray, rubber bullets, water cannons, etc.? It seems crazy to me that the police have to endure having bricks hurled at them when these things are available to disperse crowds.
Stuff like this saddens me the most. Poor kid. Will have that video of her on the internet forever now. Teaching your child this stuff is tantamount to child abuse.
Seems Irish from the accentFair play to that lady who confronted them, really brave.

This makes my heart ache so much.I feel you man.
We were asked to stay at home this weekend by the police, community leaders and the Mosques, so the whole family and many others did. I've lived here for 3 decades and it's the first time I've actually felt unsafe, and it's home, I don't know anywhere else or have anywhere else to go to. I genuinely worry about the long term future here for my kids, it's probably a bit late for me to just pack up and rebuild somewhere else (and not like I want to leave my home, but safety comes first), but I would probably advise my kids when they grow up to leave.

It's called escalation. Best avoided, especially as all the perps are recording and live streaming all their crimes.Any ideas why we aren't seeing a stronger response from the authorities? More use of pepper spray, rubber bullets, water cannons, etc.? It seems crazy to me that the police have to endure having bricks hurled at them when these things are available to disperse crowds.
Bear in mind that this is several hundred, maybe 1,000 people amongst the rest of the U.K. which (London aside) is about 55M people? It’s not like the rest of the country is on fire.
This guys's a proper plank, he also hit 02 and Gregs whilst he was out,, he has previous so it didn't take long for him to get nicked.
So disgusting to watch. How can anyone behave like this?
You've got the Greggs boy in the background too.I followed this guy’s movements the entire day just by reading this thread
Hopefully the next update on his whereabouts is when he shows up in court.
