To be embarrassed to be from Hull right now?

She was interviewed on Sky News and said that she and her child were there’ to support the people of Southport’. I live quite close to where the tragedy took place and saw something of the trouble caused by these thugs as a consequence. I fail to see how it ‘supports’ anybody here, especially when the mother of one of the dead children was appealing for people not to engage in violence in the name of her child.

We need to improve the processing. If we were processing much more quickly we wouldn't have large numbers of disenfranchised angry (mostly) young men in large numbers, bored out of their brains.

but I STILL have NO idea what this has to do with a 17 year old born in Cardiff, to parents who (from all I've read/heard) we decent people from Rwanda (which is largely Roman Catholic I believe)

I must have missed great chunks of updates OR it just makes no fucking sense.

the idiot who got bitten by the dog (hope the poor thing was given a good mouthwash). Should have been chucked in the back
of a van when he FIRST started shouting his mouth off.

@Demonhunter looks like things are kicking off again in Sunderland. The Empire Theatre has cancelled tonight's performance, some restaurants are closing early and there's a police build up around Keel Square. Seems to be a lot of kids causing low-level trouble.

So I presume you are in favour of legal routes then, yes? If so, how many would you like to be set up, where would you do it, and how many refugees should we invite into our country? Because there are millions of people who would qualify for refugee status and, with climate change doing its thing, that's only going to increase.

Unless you're in favour of there being no limit (which would be batshit), then actually you're closer to the position of the person saying they want no refugees than you might like to think.

Jeez what is it with some English towns over the last few days - did someone leave the revolving cunt door open?

Yes there are legal routes.

Labour could add more legal routes, there are some so it’s not none, about 60k on average per year for various schemes

Even if Labour tripled this number they’d still have the growing trafficking problem, with the accompanying deaths and disorder

There. Are. No. Legal. Routes.

Hope that's simple enough for you.

Exactly, this used to come up every week on BBC question time and the Tory MP on the panel always tried to weasel their way out of responding to that fact of there being a lack of legal routes for the vast majority of countries.

I wonder if/what Labour will do about this.

but let’s face it - the people who bleat about people should come by legal routes would complain still if refugees entered via that too. Too much wilful ignorance!

I think that’s Stoke, I saw a video online two people were stabbed there, nothing on news sites so far though

You're so right about taking our country back. This picture is for you.

I'm not contradicting myself at all. Sunderland is a former town and very small city. I live in a lovely area but I only have to walk a few minutes to be in a not so nice area where there's antisocial behaviour, generational poverty, low aspirations and many other social problems that are unfortunately a breeding ground for developing the views these 'protesters' have. They are therefore my neighbours or if you'd prefer, my community.

Things are much worse. Public services are on their knees but that's the consequence of austerity, neglect, Brexit and Covid. We also have huge skills gaps - particularly in health and social care caused by Brexit. The NHS couldn't function without ethnic minorities at every level - from care workers to porters to nurses to or consultants. Nor could the police or local government.

Exactly.

From now.
Take Britain back to the glorious days of the Empire, obviously.
Woolton pies, the nit lady, gin was tuppence a bag and everyone had rickets.
BUT IT WAS BETTER THEN!!!

And other lunatic nonsense from the embittered right...

There. Are. No. Legal. Routes.

Hope that's simple enough for you.

Well yeah, but there's a reason for that.

Tories.

Protests are taking place in my city today, vehicles have been set on fire and many people arrested

Multiple videos online showing masked Muslim men calling themselves the Muslim defence league, apparently they've stabbed someone but I've not seen any reliable confirmation of where this is taking place or if reports of their actions are accurate however this will not help matters whether it's true or not

I think this all part of the plan to be honest.

No-one with half a brain wants to be associated with what's going on at the moment, so it actually suits the pro-globalists in charge to let something like this kick off so that anyone with any kind of vague sympathy for what these rioters are supposedly protesting against (too much immigration, lack of integration, the failure of multi-culturalism) doesn't dare to stick their head above the parapet and express their own views for fear of being lumped in with the morons and the actual racists.

I am local. I am disgusted. I have a burning desire to organise some kind of peace protest. I don’t know how you do this but I just feel so powerless right now.

Not the brightest sparks are they? Some people just love a barney. They’ll be people there that don’t even know what they’re supposed to be rioting about.

They are in it for the fight and the looting. They couldn't give a teeny tiny shit about any "issues".
They are just using it as an excuse to fight the police and do some robbing on the sly.

Frankly I wish that the Police could just shoot all the fuckers dead. Would enhance the gene pool terrifically and I wouldn't shed a single tear for the loss of a single one.

If any of them are your DH or son I'm sorry for you, but they are a waste of space.

Take Britain back from what?

I'd be mortified so yanbu. There's nothing like that happen near us and I feel very grateful to not have to live in places like that, as a person of colour. I was born in England, as were my parents but I think I still count as a foreigner from what I've seen of the live streamed riots.

Are they needed to keep the economy going though? Or are they needed to make sure wages are suppressed and companies don't need to pay any more than they want to?
I suspect that it actually falls somewhere between the two but there is no doubt in my mind that wages are lower in my industry (tech) because of a combination of outsourcing overseas and imported labour.
