Then why are we talking about Muslim extremism at exactly the same time as there are attacks on mosques going on?

Indeed, let's look at the statistics. Almost 110,000 racially motivated hate crimes, 2021-2022. 110,000. How many of those do you think were inflicted by right-wing thickos conflating Muslim extremists with Muslims or brown people in general? It would be much, and I mean *much* fucking better...

Divert forces, damage supply lines, lower civilian morale, I'd guess. Surely Putin should sue for peace immediately on whatever terms the Ukrainians offer, rather than risk the loss of more lives?

Handy guide: Protest: Gather. Wave flags or placards. Sing or shout. Face masks not generally required. Doesn't involve burning down hotels, attacking police, threatening places of worship, looting Greggs.

Although, of course, most groups who pay taxes aren't violently invited to fuck off back to where they came from. (Always a bit awkward when it turns out they were born in the same town as you, of course.)

You've severely overestimated the intelligence of these people, I'm afraid. 😁

Give me control of the BBC and I can shut this down in ten minutes. All they need to do is put out an immediate yellow alert for rain covering England and Northern Ireland, and all the fuckwit losers with a burning urge to protect our kids by looting JD Sports will crawl back under the duvet.

I knew there was a reason I needed to keep my account going. 😄

I am worried this may not work as easily as is suggested. 😁 Given the cost of getting keys cut though, I've now put my address on all of the key rings, so that if they're lost someone can just pop them back through the letterbox. Genius, eh.

Talking of Timpson's... It cost me over forty quid to get a few front door keys and a few garage keys cut the other day. It's just a more polite form of robbery, perhaps. 😄

Hopkins and Fox. Walking, talking, cloacae. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloaca

It would be interesting to hear, though politically I suspect he might be kept quiet for a bit because Starmer is going to want to look tough on this. Don't get me wrong, I'm generally with Timpson - we're locking too many people up, and giving them very little chance of rehabilitation. But...

I'd politely disagree mate, though I absolutely understand your point of view. This is a situation born almost entirely out of hatred and misinformation spread on social media. There have to be severe consequences for people who do it, as much as anything else to dissuade anyone else from...

Sorry, not quite accurate. The warrant is paused until October. Playing the court system for time and wasting taxpayers money. It's an outrage, I tell ya, an outrage. Send him back to where he came from. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjerxd00rlxo

He's got an outstanding warrant hasn't he, contempt of court? If so, if have thought he'll get nicked at the airport/port as soon as he arrives. At least it's hope so. I think he might find a few charges added to the sheet too...

Let me know where you're meeting, mate. Hands off our football! And remember, no face, no case. 😁 (I'm wearing trainers though. I don't have to outrun the police dog, I just have to outrun you.)

Probably not, but if you're pitching it as a racist hate crime, why didn't they go after every white bloke in the pub? Have you seen the full video, it looks like the bloke (who is the only one visible outside the pub) is waving his arms around and shouting at the arseholes outside. Maybe he...

Maybe, but I'd guess you wouldn't want to risk a certain conviction for an uncertain one if it's borderline. Attacking mosques and spraying racist graffiti on the hotel you're trying to burn down though, that's an open goal.

We've still got that barge, haven't we? 🙂 But yes, I'd guess that some current offenders are going to get out a bit earlier than they might've done. That's going to upset the far right.

I suppose the argument is, if it was racially motivated, why didn't they attack everyone else in the pub? Were they chanting, we hate whites/christians, or fuck the EDL? There's a difference. I also think racially motivated is a higher bar (and gets a longer sentence). It's obvious if you're...
