Thought Elon Musk used to be a decent bloke striving for a better world from a technological pov. Since he bought out twitter he's really outed himself as a pardon my french stirring weasel

I said before the election that the country would face the rise of Reform/fascist street armies and not to look to the sell out Red Tories as they marched to the right wing of politics to face them down.

That was bang on correct.

What we saw last night was the SWP + trade unionists clearing the streets of nazi scum.

Yeah but you also claimed the other day that there weren't any scousers amongst the fascists so don't go blowing your trumpet now.

I think every person sentenced so far has been local , unfortunately

I mean you’ve quoted the wrong one there I think I don’t know farage but I think he’s scum .

If you’re talking about the fella who got beaten up , I feel like I’ve said this before , the landlady of the pub where it happened and you’re talking about does know him personally and has chosen to bar him . She does not see him as an innocent victim , she says he goaded the crowd then used racist language before they attacked him .

Does that justify the attack no , does that make him an innocent victim nope

As soon as the big gathering of the Birmingham community took place, armed & some masked the other night - My wife & I noticed straight away = no police - totally unacceptable - it could have been far worse - no chance of any arrest - so no justice IMO OK ...

Not a policeman in sight the sky reports got chased van tyres slashed ....

They probably all knackered and having a kip, after spending the weekend dancing to YMCA at the last weekends Brighton Pride event.

So you don’t want to discuss any points made just go over you own point again , ok

Yeah it could have been worse , they could have set fire to a hotel housing children , they could have injured 50 coppers breaking legs and knocking out teeth , they could have set fire to a library and food bank , they could have torched a police van and tipped over cars , they could have looted and smashed up rows of shops ruining people’s livelihoods so yeah it deffo could have been worse .

It was a failure of policing but of all the incidents of disorder it kettles my head that this is the one certain people seem so concerned with . I wish I could say I don’t understand why .

With no police there - Yes you are correct ....

EDL -

I know. I was questioning why the word “they” and not we was used.

 

[ChesterBlue]

Hey, I wonder what’s going on in those anti migrant groups on Faceboo…oh…

I love the little ode to the Beastie Boys at the end. Truly inspiring!

I can almost see the zero GCSEs in the spelling of it

you’ll agree though all those other things are much worse ? It’s not the worst incident of disorder that’s happened in the last week is it ?
