    I think I saw this one and just went “what the fuck was that about” so he’s a racist that’s what it was about.

  2. Asking a question admittedly from ignorance as there’s no “protests” where I live.

    But are they in localised areas, or are they just spread entirely over an area? – so if I were there, could you avoid it, or is it just completely in your way of wanting to go into the center to do anything.

    I first read the headline as if the victim had gone along to the protest and had it turn on him, but then reading the body it sounds more like he was getting on with his day so to speak.

    punching the man

    kicking the man

    Saying to the man, “You got a problem with us English bro?”

    So later on, this same story will appear in Reddit under the title:

    ‘Man jailed for saying, “You got a problem the English?” ‘

  4. >Ms Calman said Ley has ‘lost everything’ after being remanded in custody, including his accommodation and not being able to see his children. “He simply wouldn’t have gone if he had known the outcome,” she added.

    Yet,

    > Ley has a ‘quite dreadful’ criminal record, wracking up more than 50 offences including for public disorder, burglary and robbery, the court heard.

    So this is his 51st offence, hardly a one off.

    Fuck him.

    I am not very up on the law but to me this seems to be two different crimes, insighting a racist situation and GBH, would both be considered at the same time and does the time consolidate them?

    If the police hadn’t have stepped in, he’d have been on a murder charge, the sentence isn’t long enough to be honest

    The video of the incident he’s been jailed for really shows you how cowardly these people are – there was probably about 30 of them and they literally picked out the smallest guy they could find. For those that haven’t seen the video the guy who got attacked was absolutely tiny and looked like an alcoholic or maybe drug addict. Somehow he managed to stay on his feet and even fight back a bit. The most amazing thing was when the police finally arrived they jumped on and restrained the guy getting attacked, cant make this up.

    Ed Sheeran let himself go. His album was named “X” after being inspired by American History X. Unfortunately, he fell asleep halfway through.

  9. If it’s the clip I saw, it was a particularly ugly assault on one black bloke by multiple attackers. The poor bastard was hit from different directions by different attackers. I think he fell at one point and I was thinking get up get up worried what they’d do next.

    This racist twat has even got previous, FFS

  10. This sub gaslit anyone stating otherwise that racism was gone. Then this happened and people are suddenly so surprised 🤯.

    Then I see another thread complaining about black people taking too many jobs. Fuck this hypocrisy.

  11. These days, you get locked up just for saying you’re English.

    (Before you down vote me, it’s a Stewart Lee bit)

  12. Wait I thought these people were just expressing their concerns for immigration

    I can’t believe there might have been racial undertones /s
