Additionally given some people who have a distrust of the media telling them to F off, they left. I wouldn't regard that as being driven or chased away but happy to be corrected if I'm wrong. No, they definitely were chased (by 1 individual) who also slashed their tyres. That's fact. He was clearly scum. Had a registration plate APNR THIS on his bike. Scum is as scum does regardless of skin colour. Edited August 6 by sidcow 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted August 6 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6 Regarding the cars attacked. This is purely conjecture on my part. I have no FACTS but I'd happily place a bet that something was shouted at those pumped up youths from the people in the car. Not that it excuses it in any way, but I doubt it was just a random attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know about this but agreed, it's unnacceptable and dangerous behavior which annoyingly allows others to then point fingers at a time when people were there to stand guard and nothing else. I'll ask about to see if anything happened with this cretin but I do know 1 or 2 idiots were reprimanded by the group themselves for their behavior.

It's freely available to watch on the Sky News website. The guy has done damage to the image of the protest and no mistake. But as far as the footage shows it was literally 1 bloke.

Yup, and if that was the worst thing that the EDL lot had done over the last week, we'd not have wall to wall coverage, COBRA meetings, and the PM making statements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acting like The EDL is the worst thing that they can do now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sidcow Posted August 6 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 6 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw5yyynpwnzt Birmingham pub condemns 'mindless thugs' and thanks Muslim community for support A pub in Birmingham has criticised the "mindless thugs" who attacked its premises last night and said "we are proud of our multicultural city". A group of men in balaclavas were caught on video causing damage to The Clumsy Swan on Monday night, when hundreds gathered at a demonstration in the city. Following reports that the attackers were Muslim, members of the Sheldon mosque visited the pub and apologised for what happened. One elder offered to pay its damages, an online video shows. The pub wrote on Facebook: "We would like to thank you all for your well wishes and a big thank you to those at Sheldon mosque who have reached out to us with apologies from their community and offer to pay for damages. "Hopefully we will have no more trouble on the streets of Birmingham. We are proud of our multicultural city and let's keep it that way." 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they realise their business model cannot continue, they'll have to manage their own platform better and realise they can't let any old shit stay unchecked. 4) Why are people so precious about social media platforms? If it was a weekly magazine being published organising riots and spreading hate people would be calling for it to be banned. If it was a specific radio band being used there would be calls for it to me blocked out. What makes a media platform any different? 5) Is shutting down a social media platform even the removal of freedom of speech? There are others they can use. Freedom of speech existed for hundreds of years before the internet was even invented. are we saying people had no freedom of speech before Tim Berners-Lee got clever? The UK have the laws to do a shutdown, I believe, or at least make it more possible. Will not happen in America for the foreseeable future because of the First Amendment, and that's not going to change unless Trump voids the Constitution, and then it won't matter.

Chindie Posted August 6 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6 An awful lot of the people behind this rioting probably don't believe he's British and are quietly gutted he wasn't a fresh off the boat Middle Eastern migrant, but the weather was too good and the rumours too tempting not to kick off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
