What Is Happening To Our Country?

[CB Fry]

I hope some good can come from all of this, like a someone setting fire to a bus or something.

This is the sad part 

 

By ignoring the obvious problems and calling everyone far-right, they have made the situation 100x worse. 
 

I’d argue that racism was almost extinct in this country in the early 00s. The impact of immigration barely crossed my mind. 
 

But now it’s all going to get more divided than ever because the politicians are too scared to do basic, common sense things. And it’s led to horrific crimes happening every single day 

 

Jesus fucking Christ. Your posts make you seem pretty simple, but this is a new low.

Updated. People being "burnt out of their houses", "apocalyptic scenes", and "black people targeted". 

The incident yesterday was appalling, but this kind of reaction is disgraceful.

The state of the nation.

The loyalist mobs are what Farage and Lowe aspire to. I bet Tommy Robinson was having a right old hand job watching the violence and pure racial hatred. 

@CB Fry if only it was just a bus being set on fire….although that always excites the camera crews as an image.

Trial of the Sudanese man needs to be rapid, and instant deportation on release day.

Agree to all of that. The outrage of a normal human being doesn't involve targeting human beings with different colour skin or a different religion, or burning their houses. What we're seeing is people taking an opportunity to act out their prejudices, and for others to stoke them. Reprehensible stuff. 

And yep, give the bloke a fast track trial, ditto any appeal, and get him gone. Bizarre that he was able to remain in NI given he landed in Dublin.

Is it bizarre? I bet it happens all the time.

It feels bizarre to me that someone seeking asylum can land in Dublin and literally be able to walk into the UK. But sure, I suspect it happens often.

By “pussies” do you mean “people that are able to think critically”?

I think you mean people with thinking that warrants criticism.

Oh yes - “it’s just buildings, they have insurance”

Lessons will be learnt, we must not condone hate and violence, what is meant to divide must unite us, we will smash the gangs.

This country is built on immigration

Something about the far right

Anyone can cross into Northern Ireland.

He was given leave to remain by Suella Braverman.

I dont know about anyone else but my first thought on all the events recently has been WE MUST NOT LET THE FAR RIGHT USE THIS TO DIVIDE US.

Then i spared a thoughts for the victims before getting angry about the far right again.

Totally agree with this, but what will the Human Rights lawyers have to say about it.

Cheers, I hadn't appreciated that. I had understood that he was still seeking asylum.

That's the issue. He has a right to a fair trial, and appeal, but there's judicial control over that. All I ask is that things are processed as quickly as possible, as I'm sure the rioters will be.

Personally I think filling our communities with thousands of unvetted criminals is the divisive part, not the protests.
 

But what do I know.

The politicising in this thread tells you all you need to know about many people's priorities.

Frankly, I'm not sure why anyone feels the need to mention left or right.

It suits that they put this on their bogey man-‘ the left’.

In many simple people’s world you either a support a vigilante mob who are happy to smash up peoples communities or you are actively supporting mass migration and beheadings

It is insane why can’t put so much more resources into fast tracking claims, appeals and then deportations - would get massive support from most. Our society has too many checks and balances that are clearly being absused. Need to get a lot tougher
