Just got into work and we've been told Exeter is next up tomorrow. I'd like our nice country back. Definitely. It's a horrible situation. I've stayed home today rather than travel to London for work. I'm glad to say there's been no incidents at all so far in Walsall as far as I'm aware. Hopefully stays that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because I think the racist prats aren't absolutely disgusting. They are and I hope they get long prison sentences to think about what they've done. I dont like the title saying Vile purely because I've spent too long on this forum and now can't see that word without automatically thinking it's a City fan talking about Villa. Which, being honest, I wouldn't be surprised if some of these rioters were also City fans. Same, but I think calling the thread "small heath Summer 2024 Far-right/Anti-immigrant Unrest" would be a little unfair. I can't see them organising anything on this scale. Not successfully anyway.

Popular Post _AA_786 Posted August 7 Popular Post Share Posted August 7 3 hours ago, Genie said: There’s a rumoured list doing the rounds of sites online for “protests” tonight. They seem to be immigration solicitors. I am pretty sure it’s all BS but there is one about half a mile from my house. Regretfully its not. My mate at work is from up north originally and her brother owns/runs a prominent law firm up around Manchester. Whilst they cover all sorts, they also do Immigration cases. The Police called him to say there was "active threat" against him and the company. He's closed up for the rest of the week and is moving his family out of Manchester for a while. Completely get that creating a list is easily done and will largely be BS but it's having the desired effect of scaring people 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion it's comparable to attempting to engage a hit man to murder someone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted August 7 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7 Targeting solicitors is very easy. In a previous life it was basically part of my job. Which makes targeting a list producer kinda moot - anyone can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Directing thugs to attack a property where people work should be treated as a very serious offence regardless of how easy it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
