Not to get into politics but I believe anyone should be allowed to say anything whatever it is. I think the whole 'You can't say that' is total bollocks. If you say something terrible and get smacked round the head for it it's your own fault - but banning words is wrong and always has been.
Living in France and somewhat morphed into their lifestyle I suggest you`re looking through rose tinted spectacles, I have travelled France frequently, and come into contact with numerous of their countrymen, simply put they do not like English, the ones that put up with us are those usually taking our money.
I think a person should be able to stand on a soap box in the middle of London and literally say anything they want to. I fail to see the argument against it.
Good, unfortunately the only down side to this is that of those individuals arrested, and charged 6 were English, 1 Austrian, and some locals (2 I believe). Not one Russian supporter it would appear, scandalous.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incitement_to_ethnic_or_racial_hatred inciting racial hatred is illegal, that's a strong enough argument.
What do you think would happen if you started saying something like that around town? You'd get sparked. Community resolves its own problems. The system works. I don't need an EU Directive or some **** shovelling politician to tell me 'you're not allowed to think this or say this'.
I'll just leave it before it the politics takes over. If anyone wants a riveting chat about free speech and my thoughts on anarchy and life with no government give me a pm...
If these damned commies are using telescopic truncheons, knives, balaclavas in a cold-blooded premeditated way, the next step in escalation is firearms.
I went for that game in 2008. You needed a visa and the visa meant you had to use the designated two massive hotels. Then you had to use the laid on coaches with army/police escort to the Luzhniki (?) Stadium, but a few declined that kind offer. Quite a few English Home Counties Nigels got twatted out and about during the daytime. These types are not time-served and arrogantly assume the whole world is like St Albans or Tring. Whilst enjoying the beverages on offer in bars near Red Sq, there were regular young envoys who spoke immaculate if heavily accented English and who spiel was "Good afternoon Englishmen, I am official fight representative of CSKA/ Dinamo/Lokomotiv (delete where applicable) and we would like to fight you . We have 100/200/300 boys. Please to confirm if this can happen." Very polite, very formal, organised and seemingly highly principled. Nowt like the indiscriminate, tooled up paramilitary loons at Marseilles. However they were equipped with gumshields, trained martially, wearing entry level SI and roaming in large groups of 50 or more late at night in sub zero Moscow temperatures. No cctv or coppers about.Pwoper nawty.
Meanwhile Boris Badboyski of Moscow was seen jumping on innocent fans heads and generally kicking **** out of anyone who may of been English, He was allowed along with his comrades to leave the area on the account that the French authorities bottled their role in society regarding protecting the public
Apart from the large scale disorder in London v the Jocks, the major police operation for the Dutch and the nationwide vandalism after the Germany defeat obviously
I must say seeing the water cannons being wheeled in to face a good natured but disappointed City crowd after the game was embarrassing too. Family groups, couples etc as well as young men. Totally over the top and unnecessarily threatening, in a country lane that reminded a bit of Ferriby's ground. I joined in with the chant as they deserved it. Such a shame they didn't use the water cannons on those 20 cowardly ****s lobbing bottles from the courtyard behind their boozer.
Maybe these people see themselves as hardline Russian patriots and it's just ill-informed and shrieking Guardian bullshit that classifies them as 'nazis'. After all, for many Guardian readers Farage is a nazi.....
