England | right wing knuckle draggers on the streets

Only two months for punching a copper? That seems unusually lenient.
Also a concurrent sentence. You essentially get a freebie if you've already committed serious offences. He may as well have 18 of them, as he'd have spent the same amount of time in prison.
 
He makes a valid point in a stupid way I guess. Just an idiot to say it on TV. A lot of people out there are just scum that are out to cause trouble, the 'immigration' issue is just an excuse.

Some similarities playing out in Ireland too with the disorder in Coolock. These guys are most likely you're standard low-life scums that would use any opportunity to cause a bit of violence and chaos. Definitely not the "Far Right". They probably don't even know what that means.

In a way, I'm less concerned about them because everyone can see they are so blatantly idiotic.

What concerns me is more of a undertone or a sentiment building under the surface for many normal people. I've heard a lot of people like condemning violence against migrants and centres, and yet there'll be a "but" in there. Like almost a tiny bit of it is justified in their minds. That makes me a bit uneasy because that kind of thing can build over time.

I don't know what it is like in the UK, but here in Ireland I feel like migration isn't even really the problem at hand that people are really feeling frustrated at, it's more of a symptom of the underlying problem of a huge lack of infrastructure to accommodate Irish people, let alone provide safe harbour to asylum seekers, and a cost of living crisis.

Our health system is at breaking point always, our housing crisis is deepening every quarter the cost of living has hit a lot of people really hard. I think the geopolitical tensions and conflict and mass displacement of innocent asylum seekers couldn't have come at a worse time where people are looking for something or someone to blame for their problems.

I'm sure there are genuine racists that are actually out there to cause harm for no other reason than different ethnic backgrounds. They are now outing themselves and getting prison as part of these riots. Good. Same with the idiots that are joining in for no other reason than to cause trouble. Also good.

It will be a lot more difficult to wash away the negative thoughts of many normal people who seem to have an incredible apathy and many are generally unsympathetic to asylum seekers fleeing war-torn countries.
Those idiots are all still racists, though. They just haven't made it their life's purpose like some others. They all still hold racist views.
 
They're pretty easy to spot tbh. Spend any time in a budget all-inclusive in Spain or Turkey and they'll make themselves pretty well known.
True, but that's just a economic indicator and I still refuse to believe that it's the mass of people in those economic circumstances. If it was it would be 100k+s of people. The common denominator of the gammon is failing intellect, not the empty bank account.
 
The concurrent thing is a joke as well. Granted I know next to nothing about the law, but I would have figured that should have been factored in as part of a compounded sentence. Anyway at least this degenerate is behind bars for a number of years.
It is a joke. I'm not a lawyer either but there should be a way to make the cases run consecutively.
 
Yeah but the trouble with those tattoos is that there's the odd fellow every now and then who has them that isn't a mini me SS officer. We need something specific.
In the algarve people just assume all english under 60 will cause trouble. No need for any of that.

Yep, it's absolutely racism. The attempts at explaining the underlying anger and structural factors do not at all take away from the fact that this is racist violence.

Thats the main thing for me. None of these bastards will get away with anything other than a jail sentence.
 
These sentences seem a bit weak really when you compare them to recent cases in the news but I’m guessing it’s based off a matrix. This should be enough of a deterrent though for those looking to go out tonight and cause trouble.

Its more about how they behave, especially after having their way with the all inclusive bar. There are plenty of low-income folk who behave in a perfectly civilised manner, the majority in fact.

Two men jailed for 30 months and 20 months for violent disorderpublished at 12:11​

12:11Breaking​


Dominic Casciani and Callum May
Reporting from Liverpool Crown Court

Declan Geiran has been jailed for 30 months - 28 months for violent disorder and setting fire to a police van in Liverpool, and a further two months in relation to a conviction for malicious communication.

Liam Riley has been jailed for 20 months, including two months for the racially aggravating element for this offending.

2 months for racially aggravated element is a joke.
 
Call in the army. I know he wants to leave control with the police but this is going too far.

Yeah this is really getting out of control now, the response needs to be stepped up. There’s a march planned around the corner from me, and it has all the ingredients for a serious escalation if numbers turn up for it.
 
University campuses have been notified by police they will be targets for far-right demonstrations.
Thing is Universities and the legal firms they’re targeting are going to be closed so what’s the plan?
 
I think it is quite fitting they are threatening to do this in August. They probably don't realise it is the vacation period.
Think there's often a fair number of international students who stick around during the summer breaks. Though these simpleton thugs probably don't realise they're paying astronomical tuition fees.

Look at the state of them.
 
Jesus fecking Christ. They claim to be concerned about the safety of children and now they’re targeted places inhabited by teenagers. Vermin. The lot of them.

Woke Antifa Marxist Teens! Who are probably all on holidays in Cuban bootcamps.

That's a good point. I know some unis are bringing in private security, and I have heard of two basically insisting on a 5pm curfew.

This the real danger.

Successive Tory governments have made it worse, going right back to Cameron and his stupid Brexit referendum. Lots of people in many parts of the UK have been feeling left out, as the Tories played 'musical chairs' with their leader, and with the countries PM. In so doing providing for the current of unrest to re-settle.

'Stopping the boats' (although involving relative small numbers) has become the 'headline' thing that people want to see happen, as much as anything because it offenders the sentiments of the British (queue lovers as we are) as a whole, that people are some how 'sneaking in the back door'.

Immigrants (of all kinds) have always been welcomed in these islands and now (going forward) are indeed necessary for this country to survive and develop, but they have to come in the front door, not sneak in the back.

Rishi did at least try to recognise this and counteract it, but again with another stupid idea of removing people to Rwanda and that somehow would be a solution, but which led correctly to cries of 'bullshit'.

Now Starmer (who really has no time on his side now with all the other problems he faces) wants to solve the problem by going after the people smugglers, etc. yet, he seems oblivious to the fact the authorities have been pursuing drug smugglers for years, but getting nowhere.

Starmer either has to put in place a proper/effective system to expedite claims, or persuade people not come. If he doesn't do the former, the rioting mobs will provide the latter in the form of a 'fear-factor' to try to deter people.

In the meantime for all those migrants already settled here, many into their second and third generations, will tend to get caught up, as targets by the mobs, simply because of the colour of their skin or their religion.

Dark days indeed and the 'knuckle-draggers' could be just the first wave of unrest that will cause as much anguish and upset as the whole Brexit debacle did in British political life, and this will double-down on matters.

We need to be aware of how much of the ice-berg is below the surface.

Nor did I suggest it should. I am suggesting that potentially, an increase in racist violence is not wholly explained by membership of the "Far Right".

Or moreso, what about the potential for increased racism that is not manifesting itself in the form of riots? Extremist behaviour is easier to identify and therefore, we can hope that all involved will be met with the full force of the law.

But what about the underlying rise of mistrust and racist sentiment? I have seen it here in Ireland, however I cannot speak for the UK. While the riots etc are shocking to see, social non-acceptance and other racist behaviour can be just as hurtful to live with for immigrants, and I fear this will escalate if underlying structural issues are not addressed immediately.

‘Students’ have been regularly demonised for their supposed imagined politics and Unis called incubators of radical far left Marxist indoctrination by all the usual regular mouthpieces for ages. It’s very much on brand as a far right target tbh and there’s never any real mainstream pushback.
 


Even by right wing standards, this guy has done all the right things. He's come to the UK, opened up a business that services the local community, pays his taxes, creates jobs, and yet they've still driven him out of the area. They knew him by name. That's fecking terrifying. I'd get my family out of there too.

Broke my heart seeing this.

Absolutely, the end actions are racist. 100%

However, take two people. Person One is clearly a racist and the end goal is to cause harm and distress to other ethnic groups.

Person Two does not believe they are racist, they only hold these views because they don't feel safe in their country, or want to protect their kids, or whatever justification they use to rationalise their racist behaviour in their head.

While we both agree that both committing racist acts should receive the same treatment, the underlying reasons of Person Two are different and. That requires consideration.

Or the real risk is that there is a meaningful rightward shift in the "majority", and Person Two is no longer even considered "racist".
