[Politics] Protests/rioting in lots of places

[Holoflux]

Just wondering. Serious question.

Has any senior member of the Reform Party come out and condemned the violence yet?

No. Their silence is deafening .

 

[Baldseagull]

I haven't got a clue what that means.

It's the punchline of an old joke. A Jewish American man has a go at a Chinese American man for the attack on Pearl Harbour, Chinese man says that was the Japanese, Jewish man says, Chinese, Japanese all the same. Chinese man blames the sinking of the Titanic on the Jews, Jewish man says, that was an iceberg.

That Titanic quote is priceless. You can see why utterly thick people are sucked in by Farage and Co.

The overloading has its basis in that there were not enough lifeboats for everyone, it didn't cause it to sink, but having more passengers and crew than berths in lifeboats made the death toll large. The Titanic should have had more lifeboats, but they thought it was unsinkable, and only the wealthy passengers and the fortunate were saved.
She has got her story muddled up in a way that coincidentally has some parallels with the situation, she is drowning not because there are too many people in the country, but because we had a financial crash, austerity, covid and a self serving Government so not enough cash to save everyone, just bankers, Tory donors and the fortunate.

Burning books now, is it?



“Legitimate concerns” presumably now include the ability of people to read.

From the Office of National statistics in 2018 (most recent I could find with definitive data). Size of UK households by ethnicity:

Including the 3 categories of 5, 6 and 7 or more. So the blow figures represent percentages by each ethnicity with 5 or more in the household.

White 11.66%
Mixed/multiple 20.96%
Indian 21.96%
Pakistani/Bangladeshi 60.82%
Chinese 15.41%
Black 30.90%
Other 32.78%

Size of household? That's different from number of children.
Big old other section.

I was surprised to learn

• In England and Wales, 30.3% of all live births were to non-UK-born mothers in 2022; an increase from 28.8% in 2021, continuing the long-term trend of the percentage of live births to non-UK-born mothers generally increasing.
• In 2022, India replaced Romania as the most common country of birth for non-UK-born mothers, and Pakistan as the most common country of birth for non-UK-born fathers.

And the UK’s most popular name for boys in 23 was Muhammad

It’s like banging your head on a brick wall.

Mainline BBC News 1pm shows a woman saying she is sick of white working class are sick of being called fascist because they object to “illegal immigrants coming over in boats after leaving safe countries”

Unfortunately the propaganda of the last 14 years has become so ingrained, it’s heartbreaking.

Every Muslim male child has the name Muhammad (or variant spelling) amongst their other names.
The equivalent would be calling every male child John ie Lewis John Dunk or Solomon John March.

Ironic in a way as bbc is very bias against the protests

Suggest get news from elsewhere

 

[Dave the OAP]

It was very fortunate that the black fella attacked by those morons had the asian guy helping him out before the police arrived on he could have been killed!!!

What are your suggestions?

“Bias against the protests”?

And how should they positively report the attacking of hotels and libraries and assaults on the police?

Frankly, calling those acts “protest” is a deranged reach.

What looking for news outlets that think this violence and destruction is a good thing?

How are you settling into your new political position within the loony left?

You would prefer the BBC to be more “pro-riot”?

It’s an interesting take, I’ll give you that.

 

[Motogull]

It could be timing, but I have not seen either Lib or Tory leader on TV about all this. Farage can't leave it alone. He is loving this unrest.
