They'll be used to it after every arse cheeks match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are just the ones in magistrates court, the more serious ones will be remanded to go to crown court I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but there's also the effect it will have on future employment prospects (lawl), the fact that if they are in social housing they'll forfeit their tenancies, and that it will likely make travel within the EU extremely difficult for them. I'd far rather just see them detained for longer, but it's not like they'll be out in 6 months and just continue on as if nothing ever happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were playing football in the park and kicking pushbikes after dark, that kind of thing. Youthful exuberance, nothing more. Bending rules rather than breaking them, really. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0Neils40yarder Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 20 hours ago, Ya Bezzer! said: Well for a start you can do it with one change. Secondly is it possible the journalist in question just saw loads of people with Glaswegian accents getting off a train and didn't check the train timetable? I mean you seem to be calling a senior journalist (Mark Easton) at the BBC a liar based on not much. I'm not on X or I'd ask him to clarify the statement. Yes you could do it with one change, at either Newcastle or Carlisle...but then that wouldn't be a train from Glasgow to Sunderland, would it? It's piss poor reporting at best and rabble-rousing at worst...BBC f**ktard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you support what he says in this video or are you against it? Saying nothing leaves people guessing and leaves you open to ridicule. IMO. I think any regular reader of the Politics Forum would know where @Freedom Farter stands on these issues. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 (edited) Yeah, clicking on the Tommy Robinson thread, I would fully expect to see clips of his vile talks. It would probably still be better to add some context with it or a review of its content so others don't need to watch.

That's what I was going to say, although the Politics board does tend to attract a lot of 'new' readers. All of whom will have already watched the TR videos, multiple times, cock in hand and sweaty, so it's kind of a wash.

Michael W Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 One thing that's not helping at the moment is the number of total f**king idiots in local whatsapp groups or Facebook pages sharing rumours about things that are allegedly/apparently happening. I use the words allegedly/apparently because they are totally false and the messages come with those words attached to them. Three times today my wife's told me she's seen posts saying that the EDL/other far right wankers are at a certain location, and it's been total nonsense. Post evidence and tell people to avoid the area, or shut up. I have no idea whether this is deliberate disinformation by the rioters to try and provoke confrontational responses from their "enemies", or whether it's an attempt to misdirect the police. Maybe it's just local people trying to play the hero and making up total pish thinking they're keeping people safe or something, but all it's doing is placing people on edge, which in turn strengthens the possibility further disorder or rioting will occur when there's an inevitable flash point over something and a response is triggered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that’s how we get shot of the fash; have folk post up in local FB groups saying ‘EDL cuntos seen marking gates in x street: two chalk marks means they’ve seen your dog and are coming back later to nick it BE A WEAR’. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
