Cruella's boot boys out on the street again protecting our British freedoms in their usual brutish fashion with violent disorder. She must feel very proud.

I'm curious to hear the thoughts of the posters that repeatedly asked me to provide stats now that I've posted them.

@Combattingthemoaners
@ghostyslovesheets
@TooBigForMyBoots

There have been quite of lot of posts, so I may well have missed your stats.
Could you provide a link to the one that shows that those not born in the UK are more likely to commit violent and sexual crime than those who were born here.

Anyway it's time for my "performative flounce" to work 😉 Be back in the morning if you're still going.

Black people weren’t dragged into the discussion initially , comparison was made with the policing of the BLM protests. In this country most BLM protestors were white.

It then moved on to immigration which again, isn’t about “black people”.

Ah so again you missed that I responded to the stats point - I await your apology

I didn't say you didn't respond - I said you would prefer to be wilfully ignorant as you still won't acknowledge the stark facts.

ghostyslovesheets · 25/04/2024 17:34

And I said you and others would prefer to be wilfully ignorant than accept that black/brown men commit a disproportionately large percentage of sexual crimes also the stats didn’t show that!

"Gammon" would that be used for a Muslim? Or is that racist and offensive?

Edited

Do you know that white people can be muslim? Just checking.

Someone up thread referred to white men as a collective as "fat, balding, ruddy faced and subpar in bed."
Not a whisper from the liberals.
The double standards are - as always - astounding.

I never said you asked for them, sorry I don't police others on this thread or report comments I don't like.

Stand by everything I've said.

I wasnt talking about Stats, I was talking about the way that a thread talking about a specific group of people behaving in a specifc way turned into a list of things brown and black people do thats bad.
The people in the photo that was the start of the thread were white, attempts to divert the discussion in to a list of the faults of non white people were pretty blatant

So true. Depressing as hell.

Someone asked for the stats

If it’s asked for no point complaining they’re posted

But you are saying people didn’t respond/ ignored the stats and that is a lie isn’t it - like the one saying I asked for them?

ghostyslovesheets · 25/04/2024 17:12

I still don’t understand why, when discussing the specific behaviour of white right wing thugs black people even need to be dragged into it - very odd

Sofiabella · 25/04/2024 17:06

Have you replied to every single comment on this thread? No, you've chosen the ones you wish to interact with. That's the point of a forum.

Apparently I asked for stats - I mean I didn’t but I guess someone may have

people have responded to them

ghostyslovesheets · 25/04/2024 17:05

Why are you ignoring the two posts responding to that? It’s not X - you can read the views of people outside your echo chamber

Its not the stats they'd choose to believe. They'd rather stay willfully ignorant to the proof provided.

Yep
Deflection and attempts to distract from the issue being discussed.

@newnamethanks the discussion seems oddly to have been —derailed— side tracked into a discussion of BLM protests and sexual assault being an immigrant issue - odd that no one wants to discuss the behaviour of white right wing thugs without a whole lot of whataboutery - no idea why

Has Laurence Fox already been mentioned on here? The Laurence Fox who is going to have to fork out £138,000 in a libel award against him. That one. Mayoral candidate and potential Saviour of the Nation. Thanks judge,we all need a laugh.

Yes the working class hero !

I replied - you must have missed it
