People are using lazy tropes though. They are not saying there is a problem within the Muslim community. I think we all know that When you make sweeping statements like Muslims are a problem, you are asking for trouble. No-one is defending bad people. I don't want them over here as much as the...

Jimmy Savile? Stuart Hall? Harold Shipman? The Yorkshire Ripper? Fred and Rose West? There are plenty of gangs and drug running gangs, that are not migrant and were born and bred right here in the UK.

Well, yesterday we had "Muslims do this and do that" (not some Muslims, or a few Muslims etc) and now we need to go out on to the streets to let migrants know what we think of them (again, a global term, migrants) If people don't mean these things, don't say them. Saying, as an example, "I...

Good. About time. Disgusting individual. Yeah and I know he's a Muslim. My Muslim friend, Ayria, hates him just as much as I do. She says he doesn't represent her at all. Wish he had been jailed sooner.

So these doctors and nurses WEREN'T kind and considerate and brilliant at their job? Okay.

I don't know where to even start with this. I had a mini stroke last year and three ops this year. Pretty much everyone I came into contact with, within the NHS was a "migrant." From doctors to nurses, to OH, to porters. They were all brilliant and all very lovely. Both my father and mother...

I very much cared about the Dutch athlete. We have been talking about it for days here

Yes, just got it. Cheers.

Anyone heard anything? My daughter just messaged me (she is at uni in Bristol) That's all she said.

A bit different isn't it, someone fighting with police, with just their fists and a knifed attacker killing children.

I wouldn't have complained had they done so. If someone caught him in the act, fought back and topped him, they would have come out of that as a hero.

Yeah, I agree. So much emphasis on here about Muslims and migrants and nowhere near enough on the tragedy itself and how the poor families and the surrounding community have been affected and what they must be going through and of course, HOW it happened and why. That's not at all clear yet.

Yup. People know exactly what is meant when they say a remark is racist. Call it what you want, but everyone knows what is meant. Islamophobic, bigoted comment is probably better, but it's still racist.

Not so sure. Surely he would start using the "it takes two to tango" as his defence

Gone?

There's a middle ground. I wouldn't stop speaking English. I would be just learning a second language.

I do think people who come here SHOULD learn English. Just the same as if I went to live in Russia, I would try my very best to learn Russian. I always even try to learn a bit of any language when I go to those places on holiday too.

Whatever happened to Bringbackrattles? Haven't seen him for ages on here.

Each to their own I guess, but we loved Norway when we were there last week and all said we would love to live there. Last thing on my mind in that circumstance would be to look for an English pub or English enclave. I get why people do it, but personally, I find it a little embarrassing.
