Just be aware there are strong rumblings of something happening Wednesday evening, if you are coming for the friendly.
Cheers mate. Was actually aiming for the first home game (Forest). Hope nothing happens tomorrow. I have faith in my fellow So'tonians.
Mate, I want to give you a big hug for saying that, you brought tears to my eyes. Personally, I have a deep-seated belief that there really is more that unites us than divides us. We really are all exactly the same under the skin, once you cast off the **** poured out by the Tates and Yaxley-Lennons and Farages and Trumps and Elon ****ing ****ing Musk and the imbeciles who parrot their ****. We need to hang on to what makes life worth living, and forget the evil ****s trying to divide us. Don’t give in to the ****s, they are not worth the air they breathe.
You only need to see how young children of different races/colour interact to know that people aren’t born to be racist - they are taught to be racist.
One of the most depressing things I've seen in this past week outside of the violence is people taking their young kids along to watch. What sort of parent wants their primary school aged children to witness rioting? What ****ing chance do those kids have FFS.
Mate it isn’t vile to point out reality. For ages I have been saying that a large population of the country feels ignored and it would lead to riots. People called it sensationalism and hyperbole. Yet here we are. There are huge huge issues with the amount of people entering the country. Every single undocumented person could be a threat at some point in the future. This isn’t being resolved. Combine this with the drastic deterioration of living standards and the ridiculously soft touch on crime.. it’s been a recipe for disaster for ages. For the record - i am not racist. I am not far right. I am pro immigration if it is controlled and handled correctly. The problem is, it has become totally uncontrolled. We have a government who is offering austerity to the citizens, whilst giving handouts to everyone else. None of this is far right or racist. The reason we are where we are is because successive governments are refusing to listen to vast swathes of the electorate.
Remember you saying you were living in the Philippines before, my fiance is a Filipina and one of many Filipino nurses doing a stellar job for this country at UHS/SGH, I couldn't be prouder of her and I am in no doubt she contributes more to this country in her little finger than these rodent troglodytes achieve in their entire miserable, gutter existence. I am hopeful that the people of Southampton will firmly reject any attempt to attack any minority ethnicity populations, there is a rumour that the EDL are going to rock up at Cumberland Place on Wednesday (funnily enough when we play Lazio at St Marys), but will definitely be keeping an eye out to try and ensure that we avoid any potential risks. This is the Conservative legacy of coddling these absolute morons and depleting policing as well as wider law and order, it has enabled them to feel confident enough to put their heads above the parapet. I wouldn't say I am ashamed to be English as such because I see them as anti-English and anti-British as they dont have the countries values and interests at heart. But I am very angry about it and honestly struggle to stop myself from wishing violence upon these individuals. I do acknowledge this is also because the Government of the UK has failed the people of this country for too long (through poor access to education and support) and left some of our poorest open to radicalization, but some would always have grown up to be facist ****s.
There’s a video doing the rounds that shows how supremely intelligent some of these rioters are. The video ends with this guy pointing towards a mosque and saying something like “They can build mosques here but only as long as we can build mosques in Mecca. I’d like to see that.”
The Conservatives didn’t just coddle them, they openly encouraged them with their relentless anti immigrant rhetoric from, at least, 2013, when Theresa May unleashed the “hostile environment” vans. For at least 11 years the Tory party has driven this anti immigrant agenda and done nothing to stop the likes of Tate, Robinson and Farage from stepping up the pressure. The sad thing is that if Labour cannot improve the economy and the feeling of wellbeing in the country those voters who lent them their vote will in all likelihood return to the Conservative Party and return them to a position where the hatred becomes even stronger. The media has to get a grip too and stop giving airtime to the hate mongers, especially BBCQT that has only, iirc, had 3 guests who have appeared more times than Farage.
What it has done with certainty, is prevent any play thus far between Middlesex and Durham thus far in the One-Day-Cup!!!
Can the City Council ban this meeting or march? I thought this was the authority responsible for permitting or refusing a licence for such an event. Correct me if I am wrong!!
"where's the police? He ****ing ran me over" You monumentally thick ****. Suspect that bloke in the red top has already been nicked.
I meant in my post. Of course there have been racist twats out the last couple of weeks. I would never deny that. It’s disgusting. My point is that the government are incorrectly labelling everyone - even those with VALID CONCERNS as far right. It’s exacerbating the problem. By pretending everything is fine, labour are causing more and more unrest. Also, I could equally post videos and images of Muslims out hunting white people this week. There were people with swords shouting Allah Akbar last night in Plymouth, or destroying pubs in Birmingham. There are bad eggs in every community that take it too far. We are seeing a complete failure of leadership and government in listening to people concerns and this is the result. The extremists come out on top.
I'm not sure they were planning to do it legally tbh. Also I know its not a surprise, but the Daily Echo commentariat have gone full mask off with the top comments supporting the riots. Absolutely frothing at the mouth that Satvir Kaur, Darren Paffey and Lorna Fielker have condemned it, because apparently Labour have no right to represent a city that clearly wanted Reform UK (despite 2/3 MPs and the Council all being Labour). So that will be a couple of 70+ year old men from Fawley rocking up at least.
"None of this is far right or racist" You live in delusion. There's white English men with swastikas throwing the Nazi salute. Anyone on board with this is the problem.
