Such a hard man.

I really hope none of them are getting bail.

bombastix · 05/08/2024 15:36

No. They will deemed a risk in most cases and be remanded. What are you going to say, that you don’t represent a risk to the public?

Wow. Took my DC to the bank and missed all the drama. Meanwhile, I have shop bought toad in the hole in the oven and frozen mixed veg in a saucepan. I am not a domestic goddess.
I love all the family stories. Ours is that some ancestors came over from France in the 18th century but I'd also like to know more about the ones (family not ancestors obvs) who were sent to Australia.

I agree. If you go back far enough, we're all immigrants.

This is exactly what I think each time these dullards start banging on about being proud of Ingurland and that outsiders should 'go home'.

They really are too thick to realise that they're all going to be descendants of immigrants from some point. Some may actually be not that far back at all.

Oh you've just reminded me there's a spanokopita in the freezer. Shop bought I'm afraid. I don't think there was any tax due on the thread back in May when the Aurora showed itself? Here's a pic from Hampshire. Didn't see it myself though, fast asleep.

The Law Society says it has “serious concerns” over the safety of its members after The Times revealed far-right organisers have listed 39 immigration centres as targets for a coordinated attack.
The Times saw posts in a Telegram channel, which has over 12,000 members listing immigration lawyers and advice centres telling members to attack them at a specified time.

That spanokopita sounds lovely.

Aother one crying in court

https://x.com/sophcorcoran/status/1820452660652179550

A Sheffield man has appeared in court after being charged in relation to the disorder in South Yorkshire over the weekend. Curtis Coulson sobbed as he was refused bail after denying affray in relation to an allegation he swung a stick at a woman outside Sheffield City Hall.

Boo hoo.

The courts aren't messing around. I wonder where all these thugs are being held on remand? How has the space been found?

Evenstar · 05/08/2024 16:45

Someone on another thread has suggested Dartmoor which is currently empty due to radon

If it's only for a shortish period on remand they'd not get too irradiated so seems reasonable to me - might be a lot of building work tho' if there are plans to re-open it?

378 arrests so far - it was over 3000 in 2010 so way to go yet

Willowkins · 05/08/2024 16:51

I've just watched BBC Hardtalk with Professor Ian Goldin, talking about the pros and cons of migration. This is what a measured, sensible, fact-based discussion looks like.

Spoiler: he's mostly pro - based on his own family history and his expertise in economics.

I think we've all had enough of experts ...

RafaistheKingofClay · 05/08/2024 16:55

Please tell me this is true. Might get beyond 3000 arrests quite quickly at this rate. Especially if they paid by card.

And my suggestion of scouring tattoo parlours was a joke ...

A tiny bit of good news - only one child now in Alder Hey after last weeks attack

It's almost as if the victims have been forgotten already

cardibach · 05/08/2024 17:03

Don’t want to be that person but tattoos are way more mainstream. Racists have them, sure, but so do loads of other totally normal and non-racist people. My lovely non racist, job in the third sector, musician in her spare time daughter is a tattoo regular - I have one myself!

HannibalHeyes · 05/08/2024 17:05

But I suspect neither of you have swastikas...

I don’t suppose either of you have swastikas though.

and they are spelled correctly.
