UK far right trouble

One arrest in Rotherham after that? Why?

Presumably it’ll be a lot more once the dust settles and they review the CCTV, social media videos etc.

I know this area around Linthorpe Road - majority Asian population one assumes they follow various or no religions but this is being done to respect the passing of 3 little girls in Southport attacked by a Welshman ............... any excuse eh? #racists

Could this fall under the category of attempted murder? Lobbing bricks through windows of people's homes? You could see the curtains moving, so people are clearly home.

This one is definitely attempted mass murder. Lighting a hotel on fire with occupants inside?

Well said. I know the mods have an impossible job, and I am all for people expressing their views... in fact I've been openly debating a lot of people's views for the last 24 hours in good faith.

I just find it increasingly depressing having to cover off the same badly thought out points repeatedly. The "what-abouts" and the "genuine concerns". It shouldn't be this hard to just condemn something so obviously and fundamentally bad without couching that in some kind of "yeah but". Certain narrative forces in this country have made even the most basic decency and decorum a real challenge.

I think I'm going to be taking a break from here for a bit because, while I'm often pointed in my arguments, I'm not an angry person. But some of the stuff I've seen posted in here over this weekend is a textbook case study in how ordinary people pave the way for those with more sinister intentions by making excuses on their behalf.

I have honestly tried to stay out of the thread as I knew there would be at least a few posting things that would see me struggle not to respond in anger, which would play in to the hands of a few that have recently shown their disdain for me personally, and for the most part I have managed it.

But I ducked in for three or four pages this afternoon and was genuinely shocked to see some of the arguments being made. So many have been taken in by mis/disinformation, duped in to feeding blatant grifts, incited to blind hatred toward fellow human beings that have had it as bad or worse as them, and manipulated in to fighting a class war against themselves by the most wealthy and privileged in the world, who actually work to strip them of their wealth and protections every single day.

It’s bewildering and frightening that we have again gotten to this point after so many similar cycles which have ended in bloody, protracted conflict against such maligned self-interest from the grotesquely privileged few and their useful idiots and nihilistic zealots.

I am constantly reminded of Eugene O’Neill’s observation in A Moon for the Misbegotten, “There is no present or future—only the past, happening over and over again, now.”

Surely biggest priority is to disperse. I suspect there will be hundreds of doors being knocked on tomorrow morning.

Those at the bottom of society told to be angry at the folk in dighys for making them poor - by the folk who own yachts.

I think this sums it up -

This is getting really grim now. Some of the scenes from Rotherham, Bolton, Middlesbrough and now Tamworth are genuinely shocking. Feels like it’s ramped up a notch from yesterday, which was already bad enough. The punishments for this need to be swift and severe, for both the perpetrators on the street and the instigators on social media, if the government are to get a hold of the situation. Otherwise it’s only going to escalate further.

It's the worst footage I've seen so far out of all these riots, pure evil and dangerous. Armed response should have turned up to that.

I'm fuming. I'm fuming as to why the same level of violence has not been handed out to these cunts as the striking miners & the Irish in Belfast - just fucking do it!
