They're both wrong, that goes without saying. But if a corner shop and the Bank of England both got robbed on the same day, would you expect them to appear side by side on the front pages the next day? They are reporting it, you're just upset it's not being equated with trying to burn down hotels. Incidentally the BBC report of this incident mentions that when it was reported that the perpetrators were Muslim, representatives from the local mosque visited the pub, apologised and offered to pay for the damage. Hopefully the right wing groups have been doing the same? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post reporterpenguin Posted 6 August Popular Post Share Posted 6 August 4 hours ago, Wymsey said: Think Mr Musk needs to be quiet more on this situation in the UK, and focus on ensuring his X brand tries to stop online hate, misinformation etc.. I watched this really interesting video the other week about him. His summary is that Musk is someone that thrives on conflict and being the underdog, but as the/one of the wealthiest man in the world that's largely dried up so he's having to create it himself. I've followed Musk since the early SpaceX days, so getting on for 15 odd years now. While he's always been a bit of an undeniable pr!ck, his legacy could have been as one of the most consequential people ever in my opinion. He's played a large part in driving EV adoption, and SpaceX have already done things that were thought virtually impossible even 10 years ago. As a manager and an engineer he's made reusable rockets a normality, and Starship will put humans on Mars in the next quarter of a century. Obviously SpaceX wouldn't be where it is now without an incredibly talented team, but by all accounts it is his vision and determination that has almost single handedly changed what is considered possible in space. But with all that going so well, he's decided to cast himself as a controversy maker who encourages and stokes divisiveness in an already highly fractured world... 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polarbear Posted 6 August Share Posted 6 August 8 hours ago, StanSP said: Seriously worrying. I'm hoping it doesn't filter down south at any time in the next week or so. Perhaps it'll die down and fizzle out after police continue with their arrests and deter people, but I'm also worried it's got to a point where it'll actually carry on and there'll be small pockets of trouble within cities, as opposed to large scale riots. Now this might be a bit cynical but whenever there has been trouble caused by Muslims (either individual attackers or groups), there's more often than not calls for 'mosque leaders' or 'community leaders' to come and ask for peace and speak on behalf of Muslims to put a stop to it all. Where is that now for the other side? Where are the 'white' religious leaders calling for this peace now? Some may come back and say 'well it's not all the white folk that are bad'. Which pretty much makes the point for the other side too in what a ridiculous thing it is to suggest one mosque or its imam to come out and speak for everyone to represent. That's not the issue! If anything, I've seen more Muslim community leaders come out and speak for peace and talks, whereas SYL and Farage, Tice and Anderson just stoke up the hate. As someone said before, I hope that the Muslim community don't fall into the trap further, if at all. They're not the bad guys (and never were in the sad Southport incident either). This division has been stoked up to attack them and make them look bad to empower the far-right. You're bedford based aren't you Apparently they went for Yardley immigration centre? (Not sure what they'd achieve from seeing how miserable immigrants lives inside there are And they might head for Queens park on weds Surprised there isn't any noise from luton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the far-right more generally are the missing link in evolution between apes and humans, so being the thickest among them is like being the fattest person at Slimming World. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Sky reporting there may be 30 demonstrations tomorrow and that may stretch the police, the Palestine march in London on Saturday and then add Millwall and QPR both being at home, they will drop the football to cover gaps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
