They wouldn't be doing anything else anyway let's be honest

Still can't find the killer of a 12 year old boy in our own city whilst they have all the information they need about him

there wouldn't by 6000 extra riot police on duty being paid overtime

bang funny mate

bang funny mate

'Bang funny' is that an Americanism?

 

[Nick]

as dave said you whinged about them not being out in force on Monday for something that was start by the same person so what do you want them to do?

Not turn up and hope nothing kicks off? Remember there were no far right on Monday in brum but it still kicked off.

I'm sure you can see the difference.

Can you really not see that the police have been fueling this and from the sounds of it, they did on Monday.

"Started by the same person". Wow.

bang funny mate

Now there is because some gimp wrote a list on telegram, it seems.

Be interesting to find out who and their intentions.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Have the thousands of hardened "EDL" turned up anywhere yet?

Sky news are literally search for anybody with a union jack now

like I said- seeing their peers getting their mugshots all over the papers along with getting charged may have encouraged them to rearrange their plans for the evening

 

[David O'Day]

bang funny mate

 

[David O'Day]

impressive numbers to be fair

 

[Saddlebrains]

Ah well, just glad it's all died down now

Football starts in a couple of days let's bin this shite off and start laying into each other over Josh Eccles corner taking ability again

 

[Nick]

Surely the police would know ring leaders and be carrying out surveillance and stuff like that?

I can't believe they would be doing all this over a list on telegram.

 

[Sick Boy]

What happened? Any videos?

They got pinned up against a wall and surrounded by police for their own protection...it sounds like there were only about 10 of them. Apparently around 500 plus counter-protestors turned up with loads in balaclavas...good luck to them getting home later!

I'm not sure, the way the police were talking on TV earlier it was as if they were expecting an invasion of skin heads.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Told you fuck all would happen

Someone has pulled the biggest wind up ever seen in British History, bravo to whoever it was

The Media baying for some action, the old bills stood around flicking their willy, brilliant

yeah fantastic- attempted murder, people petrified, people getting their heads caved in, swords on the streets, hysteria about riots all around the place- what a great laugh it’s all been

 

[Nick]

I assume the police are stopping people in balaclavas?

I haven't seen it, not just a group of football fans going to the pub was it?

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Hilarious isn't it. They've got reporters set up everywhere for some action and the square root of fuck all is happening

How some people don't find it funny I don't know

Literally every single police force in the UK have had their pants down over a random list

Can you genuinely not see how some people don’t find it funny, I mean really?

 

[Nick]

Kicking off in Sheffield? Sky news aren't saying anything.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

I'm not sure, the way the police were talking on TV earlier it was as if they were expecting an invasion of skin heads.

they make their living getting things whipped up. I do think there were things planned, to the scale talked about maybe not- but who’s gonna do it tonight knowing that it guarantees the door being caved in by the police within 48 hours?

all the arrests took the edge off it, too much to lose for the racists

 

[Sick Boy]

Nah, they turned up outside the immigration solicitors office. It's probably one of the least suitable places for them to turn up in the country - there's a very active antifa lot there.

 

[shmmeee]

You can call me " They" I thank you

That would be a non-binary pal

 

[Saddlebrains]

Can you genuinely not see how some people don’t find it funny, I mean really?

None of the rioting is funny

None of the racism is funny

None of the Muslim community weilding weapons and legging it about Is funny


What's funny is the media making out Britain was going to burn with 100 protests all in 1 night across the country off the back of, supposedly, a list on telegram.

One of the supposed best intelligence services in the world

It’s just like 2011. People get whipped on on WhatsApp (or BBM), think it’s Mad Max, then when their mate gets time for nicking a tray of stake bakes they all go back to the Xbox.

It isn't in general. But I don't think you are the right person to lecture others about the moral high ground either.

the media is not the same as the intelligence services, but fair enough.

 

[David O'Day]

And for anyone wetting their pants about saturday WMP coped with having to turn up on mass for a "protest" and the Villa - Bilbao game

 

[Ring Of Steel]

says the guy who makes up stories about chairing debates about race in pubs

 

[shmmeee]

Again though, why the fuck were the police implicit in the scare mongering?

All day yesterday and today it's been as if the end of the world is happening at 8pm.

It isn't funny about people being scared or businesses closing. What is funny is the desperation of the media now nothing is happening.

Before you were moaning the police did nothing. It seems they’ve stopped anything happening and you’re still not happy. Still time to torch a jam sandwich if you’re really mad I guess.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

500 people against 10. I mean, pretty cowardly as well, no matter what you think of their opinions.

 

[Sick Boy]

Apparently the crowd is from the top of Queen's Road down to the clock tower.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Good deflection. When are you sunsetting your account again?

 

[Nick]

Was it just the 4 of them? Did they attack the immigration centre or something?

So when we chant nasty things at the away fans next season at the CBS, that makes us cowardly scum does it?

Anger’s answer to transfer deadline day.

 

[Nick]

the media is not the same as the intelligence services, but fair enough.

High ranking police officers have been on the news all day.

Police have been telling businesses to close.

Depends on the context. Doesn't apply to you anyway. Your membership history on this website auto-qualifies you as one.

 

[Sick Boy]

Apparently, the brave lads were there to target an immigration solicitors' office.
