Totally disgusted by those rioting in Southport

Southport has experienced the most unbelievable tragedy.

Their emergency services had to respond to probably the most traumatic calls they’ve ever had, yet tonight they are being attacked by thugs?

The latest is that these people are destroying people’s homes to get bricks with which to throw at the police.

I am heartbroken, bewildered and disgusted. How dare they destroy the homes of that grieving town.

Who is justifying it?

Your outrage doesn’t change the situation. Standing on he sidelines going ‘oh how bad’ doesn’t change why this is happening. It’s happening because people, irrespective of being right or wrong, good or bad, smart or stupid, have been told that they are racist for questioning how they feel about mass migration.

Shutting people up instead of listening to whatever they are saying, no matter he merits of the argument, is the stupidest thing that you can do. Strangely enough the progressive liberals are some of the stupidest people, never acknowledging the unintended consequences of their virtue signalling.

Thats what this is about.

WTAF has mass migration got to do with a man from Wales killing little girls in Southport?

People using an unrelated event to make their feelings heard. Regardless of whether you agree with those feelings, they exist.

It’s not a difficult concept to understand. Unless you struggle to follow simple concepts.

You're a vile, ignorant racist and I'm sorry that people like you are able to vote, because you're the death of decent thought.

The correct response to the murder of 3 innocent girls is of course to go and traumatise some more innocent children.

And injure some police who have been helping the innocent children.

I've reported her posts.

I have too. I'll stop engaging with them as well. I did reply, but now thinking it's being done to get the thread deleted as opposed to genuine lack of comprehension and blinkered views.

Imagine the poor children who have already heard and seen enough this last 24 hours and now have this on their doorsteps. More violence is not the answer. 😪

Feeling heart broken or outraged won’t help.

We need to ask why. Because all of these events have a greater propensity to turn into a protest against mass migration. Irrespective of whether the issue is immigration related or not, this is what is in danger of happening.

You can shout racist and dismiss the people doing it. But it doesn’t make the problem go away. This is how far right movements take hold. Do not sweep this under the carpet by calling people names. Ask why, despite repeated warnings, the corrupt politicians in this country have failed and refused to do anything about the rapid change in people’s surroundings, neighbourhoods, cultural experiences and assimilation impact.

There is nothing racist about calling this out. Burying your head in the sand and namecalling is utter stupidity and makes the problem worse.

Yawn

Old Nige is already mouthing off about it, and his supporters are throwing out the predictable comments on Facebook. Lots of mention of Rwanda and boats, as predicted.

The BBC is not reporting about the man wielding a knife today but it's all over Twitter.

Cos there's no real confirmation. The rumour started that he had a lock-knife & was in the town centre away from the vigil. Before long it was turned into him having a machete & being AT the vigil. The photos show just one policeman cuffing him whilst he kneels & another nearby with a taser unused, other police away from the scene.

No one knows why he was there yet or if he had a weapon at all (truly moronic if he did). But if you think the Twaxly Yellmans of the country needed an excuse then you're lost.

You need to stop posting now.

You are wrong on every level. You are ill informed, you do not know what you are talking about, what you are saying is illegal and you are promoting hatred and violence. Unfortunately, there may be a tiny number of uneducated people who believe you. Are you prepared to take responsibility for the consequences?

You are descended from immigrants. We all are, even going back a few generations. You spilling out hatred and incitement to violence are actually calling it down on your own head. So one of these people you think should have this hatred meted out on them is actually you yourself.

@Scottishlassie28 I'd say if he's from wales it's 'pritty obvious' he's not an immigrant.

hellesbells · 30/07/2024 22:43

They are just pissed up thugs

Yeah nothing to see here. That’s that settled then.

Yes it absolutely is settled, many people in this country may have issues with immigration, may be unhappy with their lives, may be looking for people and reasons to blame for life not working out they way the would like, BUT the men rioting tonight are PISSED UP THUGS

Riots always happen in the summer holidays. These people are bored and unstimulated and looking for a fight, but this is disgusting. Give them all hours of community service as an outlet for their negative energy

Thats what this is about.

The situation is a bunch of pissed up thugs descended on Southport and began rioting outside a mosque. They wished to exploit the horrendous ordeals of the victims to further their racist agenda. The people of Southport don't need them destroying their community and using up their emergency services.Angry

montysma1 · 30/07/2024 22:46

@Scottishlassie28 You should consider emmigating yourself, or would that be ex patting.

Because we sure as shit don't want you in Scotland.

So what in the name of god has any of this to do with the known facts about the case? At this point it is completely inexplicable to any of us why that youth took that taxi to that dance class and killed children. It has nothing to do with anyone’s experience, culture or assimilation. And it is deliberately masking the intentions of these nazi thugs to claim that any of these actions are in any way a protest against the events in Southport. They are trying to stir up an anti Muslim pogrom. That’s it.

Wonder why some of the thugs are wearing balaclavas? If you’re so passionate about your “cause” show your face! Cowards.

Feel sorry for the emergency services dealing with these scrotes.
