A chat thread for those who don't like this Labour government. 💙

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

The fact that the by- standers used Hurling Sticks to get the attacker off the man makes me think the attack must have taken place in a Nationalist Area. Therefore, locals need to question the policies of Sein Fein who have been very pro immigration in to ROI and NI opposed to be actively discriminating people locating from the mainland.

The news just gets worse by the minute, the stabbing of three at the Coop School in Blackley is frightening . No doubts Bridget would like all our children to go schools like the Coop Academy ! Therefore, every-child would have the same exposure to violence gang, crime and drug and welfare dependency, taking away any gained family advantages from education....

@redange, you are correct. The incident did take place in a Nationalist area and close to a school.
Although it happened when it was closed, the pupils have been offered counselling.

Members of the public from the Unionist Shankill Road have came into the area to offer their help and solidarity with the Nationalist community.

Statement from MLA Gavin Robinson has said the alleged attacker is a Somalian who was here on a five year visa.
His alleged victim was a man in his 40s.

Dozens of protests arranged for tonight around the Province and businesses have been told to close by 5.30.

My southern Irish family are mad on Hurley. They've the bats kids playing at school. Otherwise they're quite normal.

In Wales my family are mad on rugby, but we've only got oblong balls to fend off criminals. Although ds does have an awesome baseball bat from school days in his bedroom.

Paris has awful protests most weekends. They smash shop windows, set vehicles alight. Nothing changes.

Mind you I do wonder at the commonsense of those that park their vehicles there at weekends.

I haven’t seen imagery all day until now. Even a still pic on the news app is disturbing.

Why should we use victims as a vetting system? I feel ill at all this and the minimising. Just GTF really.

Nuthatch26 · 09/06/2026 17:03

I know. I'm trying to avoid any imagery but its difficult.
The minimising and deflection on here makes me sick tbh.

That's easy. Something will change when three white (am I allowed to use that word?) people attack a person whose is darker. Is that PC enough to past muster?

Same. Just fuck off is my answer to those people.

Plus I had to say to the 16 year old don’t watch it without alerting him to what it was, he’s pretty good about that but it still pissed me off that we have a system that allows this.

Edited

I'm glad he didn't see it, hope it stays that way. One of my girls had seen it before I knew it was out there. We shouldn't have to protect our kids from this shit, it shouldn't be happening on our streets.

I'm off for a run to find some zen before I explode.

Hi everyone

I've been out most of today with a friend
Had to go into London to meet.

Until she mentioned it, I had completely forgotten that the terror threat level had been raised. Because every fucking day is just horrific now.

This is the friend of mine who was also bereaved in the same terror attack. So you would think we would remember that. the threat has been raised and lowered many times though.

honestly, I don't know what we're supposed to do with all this anger - I'm entering into a funny mental space I think - is that good for me or bad for me? I don't know.

@justasking111 there are riots in Paris about this stuff most weekend? Are there?

They're in Germany too. Apparently Scotland is kicking off tonight. I've been out for sons birthday so just catching up on twitter trending. There's a bus on fire a police car. They're kicking doors in. Watched a fight in the street. But all in all I saw worse in Leeds last year. So the shutting down of the city seems to have worked.

DenizenOfAisleOfShame · 09/06/2026 21:46

I’m frankly appalled by public disorder. The left reminisces about it - Grunwick, Grosvenor Square, Wapping, poll tax riots, the 2010 attacks, BLM etc, etc. Because they’re stupid. And violent.

No self-respecting conservative - and I use a small ‘c’ for that - should have any truck with this nonsense. It’s deplorable.

LupaMoonhowl · 09/06/2026 21:48

There actually protests in many European couriers but they never get reported here in the MSM.

EasternStandard · 09/06/2026 21:50
