England | right wing knuckle draggers on the streets

Some right wing portuguese troglodytes on social media saying these rioters are showing the rest of europe how you defend your country. feck me...
 
Lived in this country for 13 years, never until today thought twice about going out because of the colour of my skin.
Understand the sentiment completely, felt something similar on the morning of the Brexit vote announcement.

Though I assume you live in London? In which case you're absolutely fine, and you'll likely be absolutely fine in any major UK city where there is a large ethnic minority community living in proximity to white folk. Its mostly poor white folk in segregated areas where they're kicking up, and the violent ones amongst them will likely be in jail cells within the coming days.
 
How many of these idiots do you reckon voted Brexit? Must be a large percentage. Once the Turkeys realised they were voting for Christmas they have come into the streets. Was probably naive to expect anything less.

It’s fecking vile. Never thought I’d need to be messaging people in my teams telling them to ignore our remote policy and do whatever they need to feel safe, where the danger isn’t Covid.
 
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.
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.

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.
 
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.

 
They may be recommending the far right in Portugal to come to the UK and trash the place.
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...

Labour have been pandering to these segments for votes, so the gloves stay on for now.

Fair play to that lady who confronted them, really brave.
 
One of the darkest weekends for the U.K in a long time.

Very sad this is all happening when the Olympics is on. The brief unity of 2012 might aswell have been in 1912, it genuinely feels that long ago with all the diversion that has occurred in the last decade.

7 years for me, stayed at home all day today & worried about going to work tomorrow

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.

This makes my heart ache so much.

It's called escalation. Best avoided, especially as all the perps are recording and live streaming all their crimes.

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.

There were reports of 700 rioters surrounding one of the hotels. We shouldn't tar the UK with the same racist brush, but there are no doubt thousands of people directly involved in these riots all across the UK.
 
I wish the left could come up with a way to galvanise the population to put a focus the actual reasons for all this hateful rhetoric

and by that I mean the media, the politicians and the grifters

surely there's a way?
 


So disgusting to watch. How can anyone behave like this?


It looks like there’s at least two different type of violence kicking off here. You have the EDL/middle aged football hooligan/divorced dad energy, like yer man in the St George shirt. Exclusively white and blatantly racist. Nearly all with their faces uncovered.

But there’s a different demographics of kids in masks who just want to wreck shit. And I don’t think they’re all necessarily racist (or indeed, all white). Just bored, have been enduring a chronic lack of opportunities for years and want to blow off steam.

I don’t think the difference matters all that much in terms of who does the most damage. And it definitely takes the actions of the former to embolden the latter. But if we want to stop this stuff in the long term we do need to think about the two very different motivations of these two different groups.
 
All of this is that cnut Musk's fault. Serious questions should be raised regarding whether Twitter should be banned in the UK, given that the app's owner is pushing these numpties and even saying civil war is inevitable. I am not surprised that he has turned off viewing other people's likes, as many of these racist profiles appear to have inflated likes. There's one terrible account called Barry that uses every racial slur in the book yet isn't banned.
 
I followed this guy’s movements the entire day just by reading this thread :lol:

Hopefully the next update on his whereabouts is when he shows up in court.
You've got the Greggs boy in the background too.
