Yours, the United Kingdom.
Pretty sure we established about 15 years ago on here that Scotland isn't a real country.
English people calling Scottish people obsessed with them will never not be funny. Nico and Jimmy hate our guts.
We sadly have a very small minority of absolute racist morons who like smashing shit up and will invent any excuse to do justify doing so in their tiny little heads. The law should throw the absolute book at them, with any sentences commensurate with the racially aggrievated element of their offences.
The crucial point here is though, that these people are not some sort of representation of the UK as a whole, despite the high profile coverage they're getting.
I thought better of Liverpool (being scouse not English and all that) but looks like their city is littered with the mongs as well
How many people is it? I've genuinely no idea. Thousands at most though, surely.
Did I read rightly that rock to the balls guy ended up getting ID'd and done for some sort of domestic abuse thing on the back of the video? Gift that keeps on giving.
10,000 sounds a bit like a Donald Trump rally headcount. Wasn't it a few hundred?
I've never really bitten before, but among the lefty circles I move in a lot of them have similar views and I've decided to make a stand now. If England was a racist shit hole I'd be thoroughly ashamed, but no actual data suggests it is, or at least no worse than anywhere else and in the vast majority of cases a lot better.
Still, as I said above, more work to do.
All down hill now, son. Get ready for civil war.
To be honest, you can gauge the numbers going to these things by the shite amount of damage they did.
Noice
Just fucking floor it.
Edit: as in drive the car fast. Not put the - I presume brown - driver on the floor.
Ah ffs. Far Right Spikey again.
That looks like they've made improvements to Hull.
Sickening stuff.
I was watching a compilation video on the BBC. The police need to be wading in and bashing a few heads together now. You can't have them standing there while people smash the fuck out of shit.
I missed yet more anti-English sentiment in that post from Waff first time round.
It really is amazing how entrenched it all is in so many people in Scotland and how quickly him and Magic will take any opportunity to tar all English with the same brush. Anyone have a working hypocrisy detector? Mine is utterly fucked.
The Gaffer. Right about everything.
Er, are there any riots in Norwich?
I'm a twit
I'd be very surprised if there were. I'm not sure Partridge people have ever rioted about anything.
Liz Truss might be kicking off after being completely blanked by the tv horse racing guy.
The Hull lot chanting STOP THE BOATS is daft. The majority would've flown in. Legally. The post-covid spike in net migration looks really mad on paper. Again, the protests look really, really pathetic. Hull gets a burnt out shed and a trashed Shoezone. Take that, illegals.
I quite like Waff and Magic, even if they hate me on a genetic level.
I like English people.
CHELSEA CHELSEA CHELSEA
The good news about these riots are the idiots are filming themselves in hd. Expect a few doors knocked in in a few days.
When we moved house we sold our wardrobes. One of the wife’s work colleagues bought them off us and hired a (wo)man with a van to collect them. She turned up to ours with what I assumed is her younger brother, absolutely stinking of beer and her nose twitching like fuck. They broke the wardrobes in transit.
Anyway, there she was front and centre of quite a few videos in Sunderland the other night. Front door promptly kicked in yesterday morning.
Somewhat ironic in that probably not Norwich but the rest of the county is probably one of the most openly racist places in the country.
On the racism thing across Europe I think there are different issues around it. A lot of people from east of the old iron curtain are massively racist. The Eastern European woman who works in our office for example could think of nothing worse in her life than her son coming home with a black woman when he’s 18. I don’t think that the majority of the UK(England) is racist in that way anymore.
But there is a significant amount of the country who blame everything that goes wrong on foreigners and cannot differentiate that nearly 90% of those foreigners are allowed into the country by the visa rules of the government. You asked the average person on the street and I would guarantee they would think the number of people coming over on boats is a far higher proportion of immigrants than it is.
I used to work with a Slovakian guy and he was rabidly anti-immigration
A poll done at the beginning of the year showed that, not only did nine out of ten constituencies want lower immigration, but that people massively underestimates the amount of immigrants coming in even by legal routes. The average person thought that net migration was 70000, which is about ten per cent of the actual numbers. I think people tend to have no idea of the scale and cost of it.
Truth is, even having actual numbers, it is hard to picture just how big/small of an impact it might have.
Like everything else in the world, there are pro's and cons to immigration, but the simple fact is that we NEED it. People aren't having enough kids and the sheer weight of all the Boomers becoming pensioners would be impossible for the native population to support.
Over the next 20 years our biggest age cohort (50 - 60 year olds) will retire. Most of them without adequate private pensions, and our current children (the smallest cohort until you get over 65) will be expected to replace them and that's quite simply not happening without immigration to top the numbers up.
So yeah, like it or lump it. Immigration is going to continue and will likely increase further. It's that or outright poverty.
