I'd be absolutely astonished and dissappointed if theres any trouble at the open training session. Fear not, in any case, there will be 1,500 showsec's in yellow jackets to keep 200 kids at bay from a pitch invasion - so you're safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy Posted 6 August Share Posted 6 August 21 minutes ago, SpacedX said: Why do these absolute goons that are rioting insist on bouncing about? I've noticed football hooligans and chavs do it too when they sense or create aggro. Watch the footage. I assume it’s the effects of adrenaline pumping through their veins. The blood literally draining from their rational neo cortex brain and going into their arms and legs causing them to bounce around ready for a fight (or flight/run away) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in a conspiracy sort of way but he went to the memorial last year and it had a profound effect on him, in a way that visiting holocaust museums didn't (I suspect because we're still feeling the impact of 9/11 in real time) One thing he has said is that he feels that is that a lot of the anger and division, currently, stems back to that. I'm inclined to agree. I was about 12 when it happened. I'd grown up in Leicester and visited a fair few other countries, prior. There didn't feel like the level of mistrust and division that there is now. I think it's a fair point. I'm watching 'Turning Point - The War on Terror' on Netflix at the moment (there's also one about the Cold War which I thought was very good). As soon as 9/11 happened, the game changed in a big way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPH Posted 6 August Share Posted 6 August All I can say, everyone is keep recording those fools that are rioting, damaging innocent property and you absolutely must must must record the racist violence too. The police are also recording lots of footage. Hopefully they’ll have their day in court. They are still arresting people who were involved in the Jan 6th riots here in the states. So don’t give up on the police. The next step, of course is that the army will get called in. And they won’t mess about. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

Thought that was pretty obviously but I guess not. There won’t be any trouble whatsoever at a club event essentially for kids This all seems quite detached from down here in leafy Herts - we tend to keep our scrotes locked up in a small area of the city and they can’t afford to travel out of it. (That’s a joke btw). Even where I work in borehamwood - one of the most deprived parts of the county, there hasn’t been anything at all. Would it be too much of a generalisation to say that the trouble has tended to be where there is either a big reform vote or a large immigrant community. the immigrant communities are not responsible so that must equate to trouble makers being brought into the area. Those areas with a big reform vote are those same areas where there was a large brexit vote. These people complain that they aren’t being listened to - yet the largest political decision of the last 50 years was made by them in 2016. Perhaps they can point us to the sunlit uplands which are a consequence of them being listened to back then ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramboacdc Posted 6 August Share Posted 6 August The 2 arrested in Leicester have been named and charged. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/leicester-news/two-charged-after-leicester-protests-9461782 I sit here writing this in a place that I know I won't be targetted by this, but if misinformation causes stuff like communities coming out to defend their streets like in Bolton or Birmingham, whilst understandable it will cause more misinformation by the right wing morons who make up stuff, like the claim a muslim stabbed someone in Stoke or this bull about their being a "Muslim Defence League." I think the police said it yesterday, and I bet it becomes a larger note, these counter protesters are not helping because it splits resources and makes it harder when they have to do investigations. Last night in Plymouth you saw loads of people on both sides of the road on Sky News masked up. If you are there to protest against racism or fascism, why hide your face unless you have some other motive? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just what the Middle East needs is more missiles being slung around. This is happening each day now. Yesterday, Jordan advised usa and Iran that their airspace should not be violated. In April they allowed the USA, France and U.K. to shoot down the drones and missiles over their airspace. It’s possible that they even intervened themselves. Egypt also came out and commented that they would not allow any use of their airspace. This will make the usa and Israel’s task of intercepting objects fired from Iran and Iraq almost impossible as they won’t be able to engage until they have actually crossed the river Jordan. Debris would also then be falling across more populated areas than Jordanian deserts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Israel knows right now they have US backing, so are able to prod and poke stronger than Lebanon knowing the US will help them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
