To think we’re yet again in danger of race riots, unless something is done?

To be clear, I absolutely do not condone violence of any sort (and I hope there’s a longer version of the video available somewhere to clarify what happened here), but the comments alone tell another story, don’t they?

There’s a lot of resentment brewing, clearly. I didn’t realise how much.

Battkeax

Seeethesrt I live in brum all through the 70/80 and still do. You can’t posdibkt know more about race tensions than I do. My parents live in Handsworth you may have heard of it if not google.

We have established you have posted about a situation that happened 2 years ago in Canada.

I think that really says lots about your understanding equating thst with mythical race riots breaking out now in the UK Smile

Op.... you made a mistake and are embarrassed

No point getting arsey with other posters

Seasawride · 10/07/2018 11:54

Er you and your comments about Duggan being the spark and stop and search.

All utter nonsense.

Anyway this thread is quite wierd so can’t be arsed any more. Perhaps check your facts better before you post

Shumpalumpa · 10/07/2018 11:55

No it’s not nonsense. As I said, it was the obvious story of the comments that worried me. People don’t vent like that unless they’re suppressing a lot of frustration and hurt. We’ve got a long way to go.

What comments/tweets are you referring to? Reading the first few pages, people are understandably pleased that the spitting woman got some retribution and there 'she fell like a bag of potatoes' comments, interspersed with some inappropriate comments. De rigueur for Twitter but hardly race riots material.

@Battleax You're quite right, I've never seen an apocalypse up close Hmm

Battleax · 10/07/2018 11:56

You’ve lapsed into gobbledygook now sea. But I’m a South Londoner, so trying to talk down to us on the subject on the basis that you’re from Birmingham and have white sons isn’t making a whole lot of sense.

“Apocalypse”? Hmm

All utter nonsense.

I was saying Duggan’s arrest was the catalyst and not the cause.

How is the answer to that “Duggan was a vile drug dealer”? We all know that.

@Battelax Are you drunk? Grin

I wrote:

Agreed! In some recent threads you'd think the apocalypse was coming going by the antics of some people and their need to create drama.

You fired back with Oh piss right off Mission. Seriously. If you’d ever seen anything like that up close, you wouldn’t even joke about people wanting it.

I then said I've never seen an apocalypse up close to joke about one and now you're giving me the Hmm "Apocalypse?" face!? If you're going to start a thread at least keep up with the replies! Grin

MissionItsPossible · 10/07/2018 12:05

Ooops, @Battleax

Battleax · 10/07/2018 12:05

Can’t make head nor tail of that either TBH Smile

Ok one last bite!

I wasn’t talking down to you but trying to explain that I live in w very multicultural area and there are no signs of any race riots. On the contrary everyone is enjoying the World Cup together.

Your thread is bonkers and nonsensical and obviously you are embarrassed snd hitting out.

Up to you but I would suggest you get this thread pulled as it clearly is based on nothing logical or relevant to the uk today

MissionItsPossible · 10/07/2018 12:08

Lol

Battleax · 10/07/2018 12:15

I think I’ll go out for lunch and get some air.

Sea I would take you more seriously if you hadn’t already accused me of ageism and tried to explain to Barb what race riots were Grin
