Rioting in Hartlepool tonight

I'd like to organise an English patriots demonstration using the medium of dance, specifically Morris dancing.

What could be more patriotic than a huge Morris dance through England's towns and cities, reclaiming our streets ?
I know what you'll say though, " They'll bring Cream teas, and what about the arguments about how to cut the scone, jam first, cream first etc"

Well if all kicks off, then every copper that's there, denying the patriots the right to wear big frilly hats and bells on socks deserves to have a jammy, creamy scone sliding down the front of their riot shield.

Yeah nothing racist about morris dancing 😂
 
It’s my birthday on Sunday, was planning on going to Central Park for a meal but guess I’ll be making different plans as I don’t fancy a wheelie bin through the window as I’m tucking into a parmo.
You’ll be ok with your parmo (vegan, I hope), just don’t go for a curry, kebab, Chinese, Thai etc.
 
I’ve not seen photographs or video of those in London or Manchester, but looking at Hartlepool and Southport there is striking similarities between those on the streets.

White working class people who all look the same. The type who get their misinformation from Facebook or other Social Media, and only from sources other people like them follow. Tommy Robinson supporting, Reform and Brexit voting fools of the highest order.
Who condemn police officers having noses broken at airports - rightly - but fail to condemn it happening because of riots by EDL types

Do you think they are just paid thugs funded by people trying to destabilise the country?

Eco protestors are paid (not great amounts but still paid) by pressure groups, these idiots strike me as being similar hired hands without a real message in a civilised society.

If they're hired hands then whoever is in charge of recruitment for whichever Right Wing Organisation was responsible wants to be fired immediately.

So far I've seen a grown man squeal like a big girl's blouse when a dog takes a bite of his **** and a positionally lacking moron (who thinks next to a riot shield is a good place to stand posturing) being clouted first in the neck then in the kna(kers by stray projectiles thrown by his divvy mates.

The Chuckle Brothers would have made a better fist of this unsavoury line of "work."

That’s an interesting description.

So why are they doing it?

They must have better things to do with their lives.
 
Name calling another keyboard warrior. The society we live in where people think they can attack the law is a bad society. If you are breaking the law dont cry when it bites you back as for the dog bitting that lad if he wws stood their doing nothing its up yo him to complain. I am not defending him if my posts come across that way sorry for the misinterpretation but i dont disagree with dog bitting him they should use the dogs more when you are told to get back and dont its your fault for putting yourself their in that position wish they do it more when protesters are not listening to police orders
Thanks for expressing your opinion. It may not be the popular one but that's exactly what threads like this are about.

Most folk are angry at the moment about the current status quo, irrespective of their views.

Why question someone else's grammar, or use derogatory terms towards that person who has a different view to you?

Keep posting your views Omega even if they're not shared by everyone else.
 
To draw a comparison from local history, the Cannon Street Riots. The cause of which was a someone being killed in a fight they provoked, the guy (an Arab) killed a white British man is self defence (or so the evidence suggests but its unclear), a mob descended on the Taj Mahal café on Cannon Street smashing the window and starting a riot.

Reports and testimony from that day shows that a significant portion of those rioting midway through are probably not aware and or do not care, of the underlying cause.

The historical question about that riot is its place in the historiography and its macro causations. Was it part of a series of riots in the 50, 60s and 70s, around immigration, increasing poverty and neglect of Northern towns?
What is interesting and where I feel the parallel to now exists, is race/immigration was often the flashpoint but the overall issues where greater. Often the racial tension was flared up and used as an excuse by bad actors to flare up trouble for their own ideological ends. They preyed on the situation and issues people of the time where suffering and gave them an "other" to direct their frustrations at.
I believe this is what we are seeing here, a forgotten underclass with little to no social mobility or prospects angry at the world and been told its all the brown people's fault.

Yes there will have been some "believers" of far-right ideology there, but a significant number were there because they are angry and given an excuse to vent that anger.

Just my opinion for what its worth.

(Edit to tidy up language at the start)
A classic recruiting tactic of the far right, find groups of impoverished white people, campaign ‘on their behalf ‘ to say it’s the ‘other’ who are to blame

Tell the poor white groups they are better than the ‘other’ as they have white skin and this country is theirs. Make them fearful that ‘other’ want to take over their country. Call a mass assembly, attack.

….and still they fall for it 🤦‍♂️
 
See the Police have arrested an 11 year old of suspected police arson. I wonder what his parents were doing allowing him out to join in the violence, unless they were there with him. Beggars belief!
There were reports of parents handing their kids bricks to throw at the Police. I wonder if any of the responsible adults going to the "peaceful" protest on Sunday bring their little ones. After all, it's definitely going to be a peaceful protest, so I've been informed

Yeah most of us are angry about the current status quo, but the status quo isn't those fleeing war torn countries or those coming here trying to provide a better life for their family.

The status quo are the privately educated, upper class people running the country and the media. People like Murdoch, Farage and Boris have managed to persuade working class people that they represent us when it's the opposite.
 
My word, I wish I hadn’t looked.

Some of the rhetoric on that forum is disgusting, it is definitely worth giving Cleveland’s finest a heads up about those racist parasites.

How can these idiots think it’s okay to use the death of three children for their own agendas?

I am sickened to my very core.
Never look over the garden wall
