I think twitter is the much bigger culprit given some of the links that have been posted on here in recent days

It's not the majority of people by a huge stretch don't get me wrong, but those who do "take issue" don't tend to hide it.

TBF wearing an England top in Scotland... is a statement... :joker:

I had no clue lmao, I was just kid

I’m sure it happens the other way too. I just haven’t experienced it myself. I’d never say that a certain kind of people can’t receive any kind of xenophobic hate to me that’s just ignorant.

No matter where I live, I always stick out as a foreigner so I don’t really have a home town per se

It’s opened my eyes more than anything though. I am lucky to be able to see things the way I do

Even something as quintessentially British as tea (I prefer the herbal and Earl Greys of the world over bog-standard builders’ myself) comes from China.

Yes
it is still up to PM Starmer to stop it

He should have addressed it on his speech. I think it's a big problem.

Hang on,
that speech was not planned.
He was angry and he limited the Press replies.

(Across the UK Riots were going on)


Once he has started changing
the Illegal Migrant Problem.
Then he will have a new TV and Radio conference

Sure Twitter
is a problem.


But many are using "Telegram"

[Telegram, a Dubai-based chat app
that has attracted a surge of new users,
including some far-right supporters fleeing purges
at other sites]

I think you miss read the room, us Scots sound very angry when we are happy. In sure it was all harmless banter. If not, you are visiting the wrong places. Come further south nearer the border next time.

As a Scot who lived In essex for 12 years I often wore my Scotland top and had nothing but good humoured banter thrown my way..

Well I hope he mentions it. Something needs to be done. People are scared to go out, it's that bad.

Never heard of it. I'll have a look on my phone.

Also I’m not talking about fines. Not mentioned them once.


You quoted some stats on offences which will include unpaid fines .. whereas I have ONLY been talking about serious violent offences / atrocities and those despicable grooming gangs

If you'd said that a disproportionate amount of violent crime involves minorities that might be true but to say that the majority of violent crime in the UK does simply isn't the case. It involves white British males. Simple statistical fact, and one that you would expect, as the population is still (despite people's fears) 75% white British.


Not really..

Even in sport its the people who can see whats going on in a game who are the best judges of events .. the statisticians understand very little.

You clearly didn’t read the link in full then. It breaks things down.

Bit patronising?

Maybe I should have said the serious/ violent crimes are disproportionate .. though I cant recall any British offenders of serious , violent offences or atrocities in recent times .. if there have been it certainly feels like they are the in the minority

These murders were nothing to do with illegal immigrants though.

He's charging the police to do all they have to in order to ensure they can deal with these riots more effectively.

This guy charged isn't an illegal immigrant.
He was BORN here.

These rioters had the totally wrong end of the stick when they went out and caused the chaos.

Personally, I find the suggestion that people's opinions are formed as a result of reading posts on here is pretty insulting.

The home of Jimmy Saville, Stuart Hall, Rolf Harris, Huw Edwards. And they're just the ones we know about. And I probably missed some off that we do know about.

Not regulated too well, is it?
