On a side note, I actually think in some warped way these riots show what a civilised country the UK still is. If this had happened in many, many other counties (I’m almost tempted to say ‘most’) then there would have been scores of people killed by now. It’s also an excellent argument for gun...

I guess what I was trying to say is that you can sympathise with parts of a cause without needing to smash up towns, or condone those that do, that’s all. And I also think it’s very easy for people in Brighton to have no concerns about immigration, while thinking they are living in some kind of...

Quite good at this stuff, Bloom and Barbs, aren’t they?

A little harsh old chap, especially given the first line of my post was ‘without speaking for him’.

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...

And that’s kind of my point. There has been this feeling in the UK for a long time. But people were scared of being called RACIST. And now suddenly they aren’t.

I’m not convinced about that, sadly. When was the last time there was this much disorder in this many cities across the country, involving this many people? And the amount of awful racist stuff on X is insane, I’ve never seen it like this before. I think it’s exposed the fact that a lot more...

Are there actually going to be any far right tossers there? I predict there will be a load of the other side and nobody to defend the place from. What do you do then? Refurbish the immigration solicitor’s office?

I think the majority of people who voted for this were not generally the kind of people who would have taken advantage of that right!

I was hoping to but they are now shutting and boarding up the office so I will WFH. Hopefully they burn the place down and I can get us out of our insanely expensive lease. The ‘something happening now’ bit was apparently bollocks.

I imagine he’ll be thinking f*** that am I going there. I’d love to play for Celtic or Rangers for 4 games a season. But l don’t think smashing St Mirren at home or playing in front of 4,000 people away at Motherwell would do it for me if I were an 18 year old Argentinian international...

Our office is now shutting from 2pm tomorrow. But another friend in central Brighton has been told by his company they all have to take a different route home as something is happening now.

MY office block.

If it is it will be the shittest riot ever. Brighton is literally the worst place in the country to try something like that. There’s hardly anyone to protest against, is there?

I’ve also just seen this. Right outside my office. Should be able to get some good videos I guess.

Don't let @Han Solo hear that. There is absolutely no way that can be true, he would be locked in a bunker somewhere, not watching England in a pub.

All of that is true. I live near him and run a business in the centre of Brighton. I just cannot fathom why you think that is all so unlikely, it's bizarre. Also, anybody who has kids in a decent (expensive) private school in Brighton mixes with players and managers in the playground- do you...

That isn't true though, is it? Someone posted on here that the club had hired Sanchez a Therapist to try and help him stop being consistently late for training. That was when he was doing well for us. I've never seen any of the other players feeling the need to constantly drive through Queens...

Are you actually serious!?
