Just trying to understand. Also, I have family around Handsworth. Isn't that an area that seen some violence in years past, long ago? Is it still a tinderbox? Yes I lived there and had a shop.there during the riots of the 80s. Thst was really scarey especially with a small child. Shop windows were smashed and shop was looted. Had to leave my house with wife and child for a few days until things settled down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted August 5 Author VT Supporter Share Posted August 5 (edited) Americans are majority owners in many of the biggest Premier League clubs, but also backers of the worst of English far right, and given its Twitter-driven modus operandi, these "British patriots" may as well be wearing American flag shirts and MAGA hats. Mr. Yaxley-Lennon has received thousands of pounds from US-based extremists, of course, and this is only going to make him bigger in the US among the authoritarians and theocrats. He'd be just another nut down at speaker's corner without his American and Russian financial handmaidens. Twitter is really a disease.

Chindie Posted August 5 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5 (edited) Yaxley-Lennon should be in prison for a very, very long time. Unfortunately UK institutions and power bases have been so exposed to money from outside influences it's hard to think they'd ever do him for it, as the very people making the call would be damning their future selves. But he really should. He's basically a traitor. An agitator for sale to the highest bidder. In the past he'd on a scaffold, joined by Farage and co.

I’ve got no problem in saying it’d be nice for any thug to get the type of beating they dish out. It’s that classic bullying thing, isn’t it?

birdman Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Proper divide and conquer tactics going on by the elite puppet masters. Sick of this horrible unrest and very fortunate no such behaviour is happening where i live but know damn well there are plenty of closet Tommy sheep smiling behind their stupid copy/paste facebook posts. X is absolutely vile worst it's ever been! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 They won’t get far in inner city Birmingham. I’d be surprised if they made any attempt at showing up. There’s definitely problems in areas of brum but I think as a whole the city will stand together against the yobs . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 It’s going to be tit for tat . Innocent people going to get attacked for having the wrong colour skin . Youths in Bordesley Green waving a knife about . They’ll be thugs on both sides. History tells us the Muslim and black community will come out in force if there’s any rumours of their areas being set upon . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted August 5 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5 Social media needs to be shut down so the authorities can get a grip of this. We have louts now running around smashing cars and beating up anyone who they don't like, it's a mess and if it's not stopped it will spiral out of control if it already hasn't. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 The crowds in Birmingham have apparently dispersed. Seems the EDL didn't rock up perhaps knowing there was a welcoming party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will probably turn their attention to smashing up closed shops or hotel exteriors. Less people fighting back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with @tinker about social media. Seems musk and Starmer have been having a bit of a spat online 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
