Sadly I think this abusive entitlement is an "indigenous" English man problem

Rotherham?

I see the ever amusingly misnamed James Cleverly has whinged that the COBRA meeting was held too late.

All he's managed to do is remind me (and this the rest of this thread) that Boris Johnson managed to miss 5 or 6 COBRA meetings when Covid began, because - get this - there was no cake.

They sure did. 😁

And of course it’s less likely for riots of this nature to take place there - they’re far less diverse.

😂

Just absolute steaming bullshit of the type beloved by far right apologists

Am I wrong?

Can you back up your claim?

Great use of brackets

Those who have pleaded guilty this morning to violent disorder in connection with the Sunderland riots are:

Andrew Smith, 41 (Cried in court)
Leanne Hodgson, 43.
Josh Kellett, 29, AKA Josh Major

All three were remanded and will be sentenced at Newcastle Crown Court on Sept 2

I’m pretty confident that affluence plays a much bigger role than diversity.

The wealthy are either on holiday or at work; too engaged in life to riot.

It’s hilarious that every single one of you would confidently assert that making sweeping judgements based on skin colour or nationality is wrong (it is), yet gleefully exclaim this is a ‘white indigenous English man thing’.

Can you explain that to me?

We could, but we won’t. This is a TFZ.

I hope (Cried In court) becomes standard in reporting. I want to see how many of those big men snivel when they sober up and find shit just got real.

It definitely reeks of poverty. I can see that just from the photos. For once in their lives these men feel like society is looking at & noticing them. They’re deplorable and also quite sad, I think.

How convenient.

Yes, all those silenced people are so bloody loud. Apparently, Priti Patel is re-guising herself as the People's Friend? Terrifying. Don't fall for it.

You can see that from photos?

I was in M&S food hall, earlier and it was full of very straight cucumbers. Maybe this is what people mean when they insist that we didn't do Brexit properly.

Bananas. For goodness sake, get the right fruit/vegetable!

Do you get off on being bossy and rude?

On here too. Can’t say what they want to say apparently or they’ll be called racist….won’t back up with stats or evidence….post months old news stories that are meant to prove something….won’t actually come out and have the discussion they say they so desperately want….constantly pushing and goading….

It’s tedious. But probably not as tedious as being in their heads. Fuck me, that must be DULL.

I've spoken before about how diverse the population is in Glasgow: ds' primary school was over 60% English as an Additional Language and actually the closest primary school which isn't our catchment one iirc is 98% EAL , majority Muslim but also Hindus, Sikhs (Scotland's largest gudwara is less than a mile away); 55 languages spoken at his secondary school, again with a large Muslim population. Highly mixed demographics: secondary catchment has some of Scotland's poorest areas (SIMD 1 & 2 - Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation), yet also includes lovely leafy neighbourhoods (like where we live).

The BNP have already been chased off once when they tried - unsuccessfully - to create division in this multicultural neighbourhood on the back of a horrific racist murder. The murdered boy's own mother told the racists that they weren't welcome.

So Yaxley-Lennon can go take a running jump in his attempts to preach his toxic message at his planned "protest" on 7 September in Glasgow.

There was a map circulating on twitter last night showing the distribution of non-white
people in England and Wales - the middle of Wales was indeed devoid on non-white people but then hardly anyone of any colour lives there because it's mainly mountains and farmland - along the well populated parts of the coastline plenty of diversity

It was unintentionally a deceptive visual representation of diversity in Wales

Expect it would be the same in Scotland too

That’s 1 city. I’m glad the repellant BNP were told to do one.
