Remember when a white man went on a stabbing spree in Hainault in April and killed a young black boy?

Or when a white man walked round Plymouth with a shotgun and killed 5 (including a 3yo girl). Where were the "protests" then? Stony silence from this lot.

Or the (white) thug that barged into poor Olivia's home chasing his rival and shot her dead.

What we are seeing has less to do with poverty and everything to do with full on racism. All this sociological analysis of poverty/feeling left behind is a cover for their down right racism. You could each of them a million pounds and they would still have HATE in their heart for ‘foreigners’ born here or from boats.

@LeFromage
I started a thread asking that question. One person responded that the King doesn't get involved in day to day shit. Someone else said it's trivial.

You mean the Brazilian immigrant who has been charged with the Hainault stabbing? Marcus Monzo? Who also stabbed two ‘white’ people?

And where’s the Head of State we pay lots of money for. Getting his son to fire up the helicopters? This is the time to come out on the balcony and talk directly to the nation about unity and tolerance to the thugs who think they are doing this for their country that the rest of the nation rejects their ignorant violent views.

Let's not forget Lucy Letby. That was so evil and not one riot.

Yes, it's appalling. The horrific attack in Southport had nothing to do with immigration. And the right wing violent nutjobs leaping upon it as an excuse for violent disorder makes me feel sick.

I have just seen a video of a little girl about 10 years old walking hand in hand with her mother chanting “Pak** OUT” over and over again. Faces clear as day with the mother laughing. What mother uses a child in that way?

This petrifies me and makes me sad and fearful for my preschool children and their future. I'm now scared to take them out.

Media have a lot to answer for in this country. And Murdoch’s right wing press domination specifically. We’ve had Farage on every single political programme pontificating for about a decade now. He has been treated like the go to political pundit to zest up a panel. I am sick of seeing his gurning frog face in every programme let alone gold lined lifts with Trump. He has been given a huge platform by the media and now they have lots to report on and hand-wringing columns to write about how this all has come to pass. Aren’t the racist plebs awful? When Trump gets in and wants to hand Ukraine on a plate to Putin with Farage’s support there will be even more hand wringing. Journalism is not the career it once was.

Hopefully she can be identified and the child removed from her care. The child will be at risk of radicalisation, future emotional harm and neglect.

I’m brown and genuinely scared to go out and about. The trouble with these things is that anyone who wants to be racist will now feel that they can openly.

SquatWeightaMinute · 04/08/2024 22:50

I have been genuinely shocked it’s just mindless destruction and thuggery and the racism is blatant.

I do remember OP. Terrible.

I saw this too and couldn't believe my eyes. What is wrong with people FFS?

This is absolutely central to understanding what's going on OP and cannot be stated often enough. It exposes the racism. You are right.

Thedogscollar · 04/08/2024 22:35

Completely agree. They are hate filled savages. Their love for "their country" is laughable.
