Also brave, brave sir Lozza

Fox is like some parody. He couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag.

Wouldn't have minded him getting a couple of kicks at the airport on camera.

 

[duffer]

It makes little sense in some ways, but I suppose it's just become part of the uniform.

Seems to be very trendy these days to wave one.

Surprised the other side hasn't got a picture of Che Guevara.

I think it's a legitimate method of expressing discontent, Otis. It doesn't hurt or threaten anyone.

If the EDL were content to stand in front of churches waving the cross of St George, I'd be ok with that I guess. Better than burning down hotels, that's for sure.

 

[Grendel]

Alot of people missed that apparently

missed what?

Unless you're a Jew, I guess

My point is that they are on a roundabout in Birmingham with it.

I was at the Dover one a very long time ago and it most certainly wasn’t peaceful.

These things always start off that way, but things can turn so just have an exit strategy prepared!

I would have thought Canterbury itself would be a low turn out for the right, but the surrounding towns might change that.

Canterbury is not a hotbed of radicalism - quite a liberal place and lots of students. Think that's probably a teenager in a bedroom trying to stir up shite. Significant parts of Folkestone, Dover, Ramsgate, Margate, Ashford and Maidstone are predominantly white working class places that often fall for the EDL crap and sadly living and working in these areas I suspect something will kick off. North Kent thankfully more diverse and west Kent bit too posh for such blatant shenanigans. I am preying that Coventry stays quiet.

Respect to Gus Khan ... comedy can be diffusive and put things in perspective.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Why are there palestine flags being waved? I don't get it.

Seems like there's much more to that side than waiting for the "edl" also.

Its the wider issues that have been stoked to the foreground- they see milllions of people that they identify strongly with (ie Muslims) being wiped out & erased while the world seemingly does nothing about it, and the EDL has close ties to Israel.

and before anyone jumps down my throat, no I’m not ‘taking sides’, just stating the facts.

Life comes at you fast

 

[Otis]

It's a cause that they care about and are not going to just forget because it's no longer flavour of the month to be fair otis

Yeah, fair enough.

It just does look a bit odd at an anti-immigration protest, albeit, a counter one.

 

[skybluetony176]

'it's only racist if it's illegal' might be a new low for this thread. Which takes some doing.

They’ll be a few trying that line in court. I was only racist because I didn’t know what the legal definition of racism was.

 

[duffer]

Sorry mate, but that's not right. It's not anti-semitic to show support for Palestine. That's not right at all. As for being on a roundabout, I guess that's a mini-protest. Are they attacking police yet?

 

[PVA]

It is. I believed your desire of explotation of Eastern Europeans was disgusting but I guess that’s on your conscience

Stop making stuff up you weirdo.

 

[Nick]

I was just on about it being threatening.

Id see it the same as loads of Israel flags the other way round to be fair. I could see that being threatening towards a Muslim. Especially when being waved about by people in balaclavas.

*Unless you’re a Zionist.

Most of my Jewish friends have Palestine flags in their houses.

I lived in Canterbury for a few years, really liked it!

Unfortunately, this is genuine info as to what’s planned. However, these things change all the time and if they think they can’t get the numbers they often won’t even show.

We can't ban people from waving flags mate, Israeli or Palestinian. Threats and racism though, and I mean either way, that we should act on. Agreed.

Anyway isn't it time you popped out for some Monster Munch.

 

[SkyBlueCharlie9]

Oh dear more childish point scoring

Oh come on Grendull.... you have a PhD in Childish Point Scoring

 

[Grendel]

As I’ve stated previously Tony the one time you stopped the wumming and showed real passion was when you defended Nigel Farage against charges of racism.

You showed genuine anger and passion for once - it moved me to tears it really did

Now I’ve seen it all! Seems like some unity has happened at least, Tates managed to unite the left and right parts of his brain.

No I didn't say we could ban them just querying it.

Crikey strange to pick Canterbury! (sorry to go off topic ..... you should join the not insignifcant Kent Sky Blues fan-group on Facebook... )

I actually have no idea.

Been very quiet here and nowt we can see on SM.

Lots of moaning and blaming Labour, but no-one supporting or advocating rioting or violence

There is an off topic one moderator in reality

Yeah I saw it as a fair question tbh!

This was ten years ago, I’m up north now!

Fair enough mate, happy to leave it at that. But look, if you won't go, I'm going to have to call it a night.

Will be shortly, you hang up xxx

I might be late on this but some terrible videos around. A mob surrounding a car smashing all the windows and dragging the driver out in Hull. In Liverpool a lone motorcycle police officer hounded by a dozen or so and hit numerous times.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I actually have no idea.

Maybe worth looking at?

 

[covcity4life]

I am willing to step up and do it. I would call it right down the middle

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

just watching sky news and the coverage of the protests , you can see it’s going to into a riot

How long till this happens in Coventry

 

[skybluetony176]

I didn’t defend Nigel, I defended the people who vote for his parties as not all being racist. Do you think we’ve a forgotten that you voted for one of his parties in an election? I defended you numb nuts and yet you somehow still try and find a way to turn that against me. Unless of course you’re confessing to being a racist and this is your way of telling me I got you wrong.

Plenty of Jews fly them.

When questioned about people on the streets with weapons.

Could have condemned it, instead blame others.

This is what annoys people.

Yep there’s a balance isn’t there
