Where are the rioters today? If the roles were reversed and a man of colour was going out and terrorising white people it would be the number one story on the BBC and Herr Farage would be calling for action on the streets. Right now it's the sixth story on the BBC.

Similarly, with the atrocious and heartbreaking case of the baby who was abused and murdered. If the perpetrators hadn't been white there would have been bedlam on the streets by 'degenerate thugs concerned citizens'. The issue is clearly men, but rabid racists, the media and the malign agitators who whip them up into a frenzy never seem to be outraged when it's one of their own.

Worth noting there was an anti racism demonstration in Edinburghwhich I think is a much better way of reacting than “riots”.

I don’t really know what you’re talking about. One man attacked five people based upon their religion, luckily no one had life threatening / life changing injuries. Several thousand people in the city where it happened came together in a peaceful demonstration of solidarity with the victims and that is problematic because?

I believe out of the 5 people, 3 were not Muslim.

Those protestors are always out with those placards. My point still stands. This wasn't a predominantly non muslim attack anyway. These same protestors are nowhere to be seen when Jews are attacked. Oh sorry, yes, they are too busy attending pro Palestinian rallies.

Why do they have to have them in their house? This is such a strange argument.
