Crash on A66 that killed two police officers and 5 others…

[bookworm1982]

Am I correct that the other victims were 5 lads travelling in one car the wrong way up the motorway? EXACTLY the same as the 5 Irish lads who died a few days ago travelling the wrong way up a motorway too? Surely not twice in a week? Is there some sort of mental social media thing going on, telling kids to drive up the wrong way? Like a dare? Just cannot believe it happened once, let alone twice. Just devastating.

Apologies for being the bearer of bad news… those boys, from those areas, behaving in the way they do - and the consequences of that, have absolutely nothing to do with lefty liberalism.

I would fall over with shock if their parents had any idea what a lefty liberal was, and those areas have been deprived and “rough” for longer than anyone’s been throwing the word “liberalism” around.

My ex husband grew up in Eston, next door to South Bank, 1985 onwards - the area wasn’t hugely better then either.

This isn’t a new problem that’s suddenly arrived because of UC, because of the welfare state, or because of immigration, which apart from the fact one of them has a Polish name, has very little to do with it I’d assume.

Why do young people think they got to copy the stuff on TikTok?

Copying things like this is stupid, pathetic, sad and dangerous.

Stop copying others.

Two police officers were taken away from their families and Cleveland Police due to these idiot

I agree it doesn't matter. I was responding to posts implying they were travellers (and that that's why they'd done what they'd done).

Natural selection.

Probably saved others from years and years of grief from these cretins and from countless children being born into those degenerate families.

My heart goes out to the families of the innocent police officers but no further than that.

The vast majority of Irish people do have this attitude and are in no way mourning the loss of those 5 lads, or sharing any sympathy with their families. Young, old, male, female, wealthy or poor are utterly outraged. I haven’t met a single person who has expressed any sympathy or sadness that these 5 boys killed themselves.

Condolence posts on social media have had to shut their comments, or be completely taken down. The RIP.ie listings that went up had to first close the condolence books, and then just be removed. The funerals had armed guards and helicopters overhead. The level of anger amongst the ordinary, decent Irish person is off the charts and numerous media have highlighted the fact that they have never seen a story like this, involving dead children, where there is absolutely zero sympathy.

This sentiment can be seen being put to good use in the €730k + that has been raised for the poor family they ploughed into.

Nobody, except these boys’ families, are feeling anything but fury towards them.

My family are due to fly home tonight and will be driving home from Newcastle Airport in the middle of the night. I am actually so anxious, worrying that some other group of idiots / degenerates decide to try it tonight.

The metros are off during the night so they HAVE to get a taxi home. It's ridiculous that normal, law abiding people are worried about something as simple as driving home at night!!! People might say I am overreacting, and I may be, but it doesn't stop the worry niggling away in my head.

I don't feel much except anger towards the boys who died. But I do feel a lot of sadness for the families, and I don't think its the families' fault, and I think they can bury them however they want.

Don't be so silly. I don't love murderers.

It's a big massive mess.

Anyone who mentions the Polish name. My friend dated a lad with a Polish name . His grandfather moved with his parents to the UK in 1921. Everyone born in the UK since then has a Polish name

I think you are the lunatic here.

Of course it is the families fault. They raised, or failed to raise, these men to be like this.

The highest immigration has been under the conservatives.
Police were hassling people for social media posts under the tories too.
These issues that you list aren’t specific to left wing governments. I don’t think it helps to be partisan.

Most of them were also failed to be raised by someone else.

And so on and so forth.

no, she's right- welfare does this
obviously she's not suggesting they themselves are lefty liberals- not sure if you're just being disingenuous there
champagne anarchists saying yes lift the two child benefit cap and carry on dishing out eye-watering amounts of welfare- doesn't bother us, we're the good ones (who live nowhere near the consequences of our "largesse")

Exactly. Read all the crap they're posting about the little shits and it's easy to see where they got it from.

No self awareness or concern about the devastation they caused. Just get the baloons up and balacvas on for their crass knees up.

@SleeplessInWherever I would fall over with shock if their parents had any idea what a lefty liberal was

The majority of people in the UK do not know what a "liberal" is either. Many British people have imported the weird American definition after binge-watching American TV, which is actually the opposite of what "liberal" actually means.

Though the political discussion is going somewhat off-topic.

Yep.

If this had come as a nasty surprise to the family they would be in shock, embarrassed and ashamed.

They certainly wouldn’t post tasteless eulogies all over social media.

How did someone else on the thread put it? Trash breeding trash? Sounds very apt to me.

That’s not what you said though, or what I was responding to. You said the Irish people don’t have this attitude… let me tell you we most certainly do. The very vast majority of Irish people are completely outraged, and have no respect for these particular dead people, or their families. Their families are a massive part of the reason they are like this and that they ended up in a situation where they have changed the lives of 3 women and one small child forever. It is their fault their children are like this.

And I said nothing about the burial, but as you mention it, the usual OTT ridiculous gold coffins and blown up images of these lads as angels was just 🤯

Time is the best fortune teller and it will expose you as a fool.

What has Lee Rigby got to do with it?

@AreYouActuallyForReal And I said nothing about the burial, but as you mention it, the usual OTT ridiculous gold coffins and blown up images of these lads as angels was just 🤯

Agreed. The images of the boys as angels on social media is showing a shocking level of callous disrespect for the police officers, women, and child that were harmed in these incidents.

Some people did something bad.

Therefore, anyone who shares any demographic or socio-economic characteristic with them that I choose to focus on (age, sex, religion, skin colour, immigration status of grandparents, benefits recipient status) is a terrible person. Anyone with two of those characteristics should be deported. Anyone with three or more, no questions, up against the wall, last fagvape, bop-bop. And anyone who disagrees with that is a bleeding-heart loony lefty liberal so-called do-gooder who's just as bad as these thugs, in fact, worse.

Yep, seems completely normal and not at all unhinged to me. Now I'm off to <check notes> make carbonara. Without cream, of course (that's a hanging offence on its own).

Anyone who mentions the Polish name. My friend dated a lad with a Polish name . His grandfather moved with his parents to the UK in 1921. Everyone born in the UK since then has a Polish name

And a lot of Poles who came to fight in the Second World War when their own country was occupied stayed on afterwards.

Missing the point that it does not matter if feral communities 'don't know what a lefty liberal' is, it is the fact is they are been policed by people who sadly are managed by liberal lefty box tickers. Those more bothered about a tweet than feral youths committing burglaries.

Police have got to be allowed to clamp down on serious criminals. Not waste time and resources on arresting someone who might have mocked a man identifying as woman or someone who had allegedly bullied someone online.

Your eyes have to light up the room if you're a lad like this - it's the law. Similarly, you have to be a loveable rogue and do anything for your nanna. There's no other way.
