Current Affairs What is happening?

Hotel occupancy is 200, let's say 10% so only 20 of them are sex pests. Would you want that in your area?

Where are you getting that number from?

 

[Wizard]

People of Kirby are quite close nit if something has happened to one of their own they might bite, rumors might not be true but can you blame them

Yes you can blame them if they are acting off rumours rather than facts

I did say it might be rumors mate

I wouldn't want 1 sex pest nearby. But no amount of made up percentages excuse vilifying whole communities. It's fascism 101.

Setting fire to vehicles and haranguing innocent people? Yes I can blame them - it's 100% racism for many of the people there. I've spent enough time in Kirkby to know that while there are a lot of genuinely sound people and the majority are good people there's also a fair number of truly vile people there as well.

Sounds like the perfect storm.

The far right know how easy it is to froth up anger by accusing people the don't like of being paedophiles.
Video surfaces showing a man with a foreign accent allegedly propositioning a school girl.
Someone spreads the rumour that the man lives in an asylum hotel with zero evidence.
Someone else says "loads of stuff like that happening there!" Also with no evidence.
Group turn up to 'protect the kids'
Locals go full Tony Bellew "'ang de nonces, lad"
Local north face scalls turn up to join in the kick off.

Sounds about right to me.

Dont forget the "Im sure dey had a good reason ACAB" mob.

How do you know do you live there knobhead

 

[kenada_blue]

Another thing to tar Kirkby with.

 

[Connor]

Yep, plenty of occasions of occupants from the hotel harassing young school girls around the area.

They should be dealt with but it shouldn't have been an excuse for far right to do this.

Going to need some proof for the “plenty of occasions” shout. It’s something I’ve seen on Facebook and whispered from people here, yes, but no one has seen ‘proof’ until the other day

Very much a scare tactic designed to whip up anti-migrant and anti-refugee anger for the most part

They know what they're doing and where they choose to turn up to.

Target most deprived areas, stir up some Tommy Robinson bollocks, hopefully light some touch paper

National news just branded Kirkby a bunch of racists. Cheers.

Just to add further perspective, the Daily Wire is the largest new outlet on Facebook. Of their main commentators is Matt Walsh who literally advocates for lowering the age of consent.

With this in mind, if some weird racist chud on Facebook told me the sky was blue, I’d still have to walk out and check for myself

I live there.

He is right.

Where have the riots been for the countless innocent people lost to guns and knives?

The people mowed down by idiots on bikes?

Multiculturalism isn’t even a thing in Kirkby it is 99% white/English. The people staying in that hotel are not a problem.

Something was posted on Facebook, it’s gained traction and attracted all the wrong type of people.

They're not gonna have a meeting in the civic suit to discuss it are they.

 

[ChesterBlue]

insane that people don’t riot about conditions when 12 year old girls get stabbed dead, funding to the city gets cut to the bare bones, or when a corrupt mayor sells the city up the Mersey, but as soon as some refugees get put in a hotel all hell breaks loose. [Poor language removed] the people at this protest, they are gross racists. Even if you’re being overly charitable to them, they’re still believing bollocks on Facebook (which is literally a far-right brainwashing machine in a similar vein to ISIS brainwashing now )
