    Dunno if this has been discuused yet but imo the only winners i can see coming from these riots are the scum English far-right groups..

    The black & asian commuity in England definitley have some work to do with there youth on teaching them right from wrong...

    It lets the English racist groups say "see i told you that they are all animals" i have to say its dissapointing that they are supplying them with that ammo :38:

    ...and I think if they go down the plastic bullet route they may see more firearms used
    I personally dont feel platic bullets is the answer, I think that will incite more aggression with similar force

    Responsible posting. :icon_mrgreen:

    I do know from your posts on previous topics that you're not of the BNP mindset.

    But it seemed pretty obvious to me when reading the leaflet, that the word "immigrant" was being used in a deliberately ambivalent way. I.e. the same distinction you were arguing over was being blurred. Were they referring to illegal or legal immigrants? If legal, did they mean recent immigrants? 1st gen, 2nd gen, 3rd gen?

    That's why I'm not personally in favour of deporting immigrants at all. First it would be the illegal ones, next the legal ones, next the 2nd generation ones - before you know it, it's anyone with a dusky complexion or big lips.

    No, my comments were misinterpreted by you because you chose not to read them literally.
    Ok, i accept the point.However, i am in favour of deporting 1st generation immigrants.....not for parking offences, but if they were guilty of more serious crimes, i see no problem with this strategy.(immigrants of all colours)

    The Manpower has been taken from more towns which are now paying for it so where does all this extra Manpower come from ?

    Is it relevant?It seems to me that teenage girls are just as capable of anti social behaviour as boys. I have watched the video on full screen and still cannot fully see what is happening, but the screaming woman does tend to influence what the viewer expects to be seeing.Very inconclusive.

    YouTube footage of injured boy being helped to his feet while the other people steal from his backpack.

    However there is hope with people ( both White and black ) standing up to the rioters.

    The good and bad is all there to see.

    Rioters aren't speaking out against an oppressive government or making a stand for better conditions. They are robbing, vandalising, terrorising innocent people.
