Made up by the BBC, bit of conflict of interest there, don’t you think?
Take a look at the real statistics

Take a look at the real statistics
Why do the people voicing their "concerns" always show themselves up?
The Twitter video from Hull, of the mob setting someone's car on fire and shouting the P word, has stickers edited into it. Someone thought this was funny enough to add cartoon tomato gifs?
There is a 'peaceful protest' planned in my town today. So peaceful that the bus company has said it will not run a service between 1 and 6 today, and people are being warned to stay out of town and put off whatever they need to do for a few days. I feel so angry and embarrassed that they doing this here.
I am so glad that these people are safeguarding my kids by, checks notes, making town centres unsafe for them to go in due to violence and burning down libraries. Great work chaps
Your pre-edited post was spot on.
The actual statistics are from the CSA centre which is funded by the Home Office and Barnados. If you could point me to a more accurate site I would happily look there.
To be fair, that’s probably the demographic of the country, so each ethnicity is represent proportionally, which isn’t surprising.
I do wish we were more like Australia in terms of how they allow people in to their country, be to live or just to holiday.
I know not everyone will have a criminal record but it would filter out many “wrong’uns” who come over.
My opinion on that has nothing to do with race before people jump at me.
We should not forgot when we talk about the working class that it's not only made of white british people who csn retrace their ancestry at least 5 generations in the UK. Many migrants and seconde generation migrants are doing jobs that many people don't want to do. Just look around you: who are the cleaners, the carers, the garbage collectors the nannies, the deliverymen?
For a long time more British people were leaving the UK looking for opportunities and a better life abroad. It's only the last century that the trend has reversed. The concept of nation has made us believe that the people of a nation is a static group while people has always been mobile to a certain degree.
I see many people from all background working hard, integrating, doing their best to contribute to society and it makes me sad that the increase of physical abuse based on ethnicity is bringing fear and loneliness. We can protest for that something like the Southport murders don't happen again but we can ask for everybody to be safe at the same time. It's not a contradiction.

Exactly the point I was trying to make. There are wrong uns of all sexes, colours, ethnicities, faiths, etc. Demonising a particular group is usually used by those trying to control the narrative for their own gain.
Without wanting to be hysterical, it’s what happened in Nazi Germany and we all saw how that went.
Not far off
Government data about the UK's different ethnic groups. 82% of people in England and Wales are white, and 18% belong to a black, Asian, mixed or other ethnic group(2021 Census data).
What is it we are protecting our kids from that white British men don’t do?
I’d say most people have some concerns over both immigration and violent attacks on mosques (as an example). They likely also already had concerns over “uncivilised behaviour” amongst “The Great British public” even before all this kicked off
I see your point but his parents were the immigrants and as far as we know they haven't committed any crimes.
The attacker here was born and raised in the UK, if we had such a policy when they came he wouldn't have existed yet.
Police do nothing

It's easy because the rioters (those attacking random black and brown people, destroying property, looting and those just along for the ride, filming it on their phones) are "knuckle dragging oafs". The vast majority are racists but there are also those who welcome any opportunity for violence and thieving.
If they weren't "knuckle dragging oafs" they might be inclined to ask why "generally working class are are deprived to start with" but most of them 'feel the way they do' because for 50 years or more they and their parents have been told that the reason is because of black and brown people.
In the early days the people that told them this were unashamed facists, racists and far right Nazis - Combat 18, the National Front, BNP etc. The humiliation of Nick Griffin on Question Time made them realise that they had to change strategy if they ever wanted to gain real power. So over the years they have become more 'respectable', cloaking their aims behind mainstream political issues and increasingly supported by people motivated by opportunities that a right wing, authoritarian government would bring for their personal gain.
The rioters are simply the foot soldiers for those that want to achieve this, 'thick as mince' cannon fodder that can mobilised to destroy democracy and their own lives simply by someone pointing at somebody who looks different to them. It's not a new tactic, it's was used by the same sort of people 90 odd years ago and for hundreds of years before that. Unfortunately there are still too many people too stupid to learn the lessons of history and to the realise that yet again they are being played.
I’ve just caught up on this thread and I’m writing this to tell you that you’re a vile twit who needs to learn a lot more in life if you think all of this is acceptable. People like you belong in hell.
Nothing apart from putting their lives on the line against hundreds of animals committing such acts.
