Rather than counter protesting or worrying about the riots, maybe we should all head down there just to make sure.

Anyone in town? How’s the vibe?
Going to go back and re-read the last few pages with this playing in the background now to see if it improves them
EDIT - Kinda...

"I would be interested to know how you think there is a middle ground between these rioters and the rest of us."
There never will be with that attitude.

UTTER SCUM!
Without speaking for him, I would suggest that he is suggesting that a lot of people are concerned about immigration in this country for a number of reasons, and these rioters are at the extreme end of the scale, and that this concern has manifested itself into this. The inability to be able to have a sensible conversation about immigration without being called RACIST if you have concerns about it in this country, has got us to the point where suddenly people don't care if they are called RACIST anymore. And that is what is happening outside. All that stuff had bubbled beneath the surface for so long, then something happened that, for whatever reason, tipped people over the edge, and now it's all kicked off.
How can a question be an attitude?
Are you going to explain or will you just leave us guessing?

And there shouldn't be.
I'm quite happy to debate immigration, or whatever else, with basically anyone.
But I've no interest in finding common cause with people who are trying to set occupied hotels on fire. You understand what it means, contextually speaking, when someone is trying to set a building on fire whilst people are inside of it?
Middle ground with them. Rack off.

So I’m guessing the Brighton riot was a false alarm or was squashed before it could start. Good.
Was always ‘meant’ to be later I think
The rioters are rioting. They are not seeking to have a sensible conversation about immigration, or indeed anything. There is no middle ground.
You think they were previously concerned about being called racist but now no longer care?
Crikey.
Anyway, thanks for explaining to me what @Bulldog thinks.
It all sounds like having a bit of sympathy on behalf of others to me. I see no evidence that they deserve it. All I see is entitled wankers having some rioty fun.
I also think that people who have sympathy with the rioters might consider examining their own attitudes. Think about the sequence of events here: teenager born in Wales with no Muslim antecedents murders children; white people go on anti Muslim racist rampage attacking the police. Why on earth would anyone have any sympathy with these rioters? Unless they shared their attitudes a bit. Just a tiny bit maybe, but a bit.
Look at old @sydney ranting about Muslims and paedophiles again. I mean what the actual f*** does this have to do with anything?
Anyway, I'm now so angry I am going to throw a brick through the windows of Iceland in town. No doubt I can count on you to speak up on my behalf, and I'm sure that @Bulldog will be along soon to meet me half way.

I have a grip, have you got a grip? What are you gripping? Is it a beer bottle?
Southampton city centre, could potentially get interesting tonight.
There is a 'protest' planned around Bedford Place / London Road, and also a 'Stand Up to Racism' counter-protest.
Also in the city tonight will be some cuddly LAZIO fans, in town for a friendly against Saints.

Good night for overtime then for Hampshire's finest?
A little harsh old chap, especially given the first line of my post was ‘without speaking for him’.

They are not far right, just people with legitimate concerns.
