Re: common link to the riots
 

To be fair, the majority of the rioters are black, if there hadn't been a wave of post-war immigration from the Caribbean then these riots would not be happening.

I admire black British people, they take NO SHIT whatsoever, contrast these riots with the pansy student protests when all the cops have to do is "kettle" the cowering crowd. Rub them up the wrong way or "disrespect" them and you have a big situation on your hands.

I'm not condoning whats going on but you have to either be naive or are ignoring the racial aspect deliberately.

Because they are in England?

Blimey! Have you done a count? :ohmy:

You can't blame this on post-war immigration! That's the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard you say. :rofl:

Re: common link to the riots
 

Not sure if that was a deliberately dumb response so I'll elaborate.

Why's this happening in England and not in other parts of the UK (so far)?

Re: common link to the riots
 

No, but I've got eyes. It was the same in the 80's riots only back then they referred to them as "race riots" because the majority taking part were black. They are not referring to race this time because people are terrified of the PC brigade.

Re: common link to the riots
 

Perhaps the Scots, Irish and Welsh are all just over rioting.

Surely the economics must be similar?

Give it time.....

Re: common link to the riots
 

Hence "so far".

It's taking it's time.

Re: common link to the riots
 

I am seeing plenty of white people in these photographs... plenty of white looters and rioters and plenty of black. If you say this is only what you see with your own eyes, then presumably you'd believe anything else the media gives you to look at? Everything is skewed by them given their agenda.

The English like a good riot... it's in the blood. They've been rioting well before any Caribbean people arrived in the country.

Re: common link to the riots
 

I was being glib.

Similar economies, different societies? The Welsh ... are they big on rioting? I can't remember many.
:unsure:

Tiddly's referred to it and I've posted the link on the longer-running thread - check out the Met's photos.

Re: common link to the riots
 

It may not have been deliberate. :lol:

I particularly like this fine example of female humanity.
