Can you imagine how society would look without immigrants? Their influence is everywhere, and even the most hard line rabid racist would have benefited from immigrants, whether they like it or not. Imagine what music would look like with the influence of immigrants, Food, Architecture, so many things that bring us comfort and enjoyment, so many things that help create identity, whether we understand it or not.the irony is that the cornerstone of our legal system is that its better to let 10 guilty men go free than punish one innocent, yet despite this, some who think the only way is the British way want all immigrants banned because of a few bad apples. That's as un-British as can be.
I'll ponder the logic tonight and contemplate just how useless immigrants are and how they contribute nothing to our culture after I've been out for a curry and caught a tax home, driven by some Eastern European. Immigrants, we don't need them
I can walk to city road from my house and eat food from loads of different countries, listen to different languages, different expressions, customs etc, it's a true education and it enriches us as a society. Of course immigration has to be monitored, but to think that there are people in our society who see immigrants as a threat, see them as a dilution of 'British' culture is truly sad in my opinion. We don't evolve by being closed or by constantly listening and agreeing with people who look and sound just like we do.
It's all perfectly normal 👍
it is in Blackley
I disagree with you. Anecdotal of course, but i grew up in Ely, Pentwyn and Llanedeyrn, all rough council estates. I can remember plenty of occasions where i was set upon by gangs of kids from other estates, made to fight other kids, couldn't go to certain areas because i attended the catholic school, couldn't go to the Maelfa shopping centre arcade because i would get beaten up, couldn't use the chip shop or the pool club (Boxers Billy Waith) because of gangs of kids who would steal your money. I had two Adidas tops taken from me in town in broad daylight. Ended up fighting on bank holiday at Barry Island, and as you will know better than most, had to run the gauntlet just to watch a football match. Open violence was much more prevalent and accepted during the 70s and 80s. Look at popular culture from that time, it was all about misogyny and violence.
I believe that it's much safer on the streets these days. We do have extreme situations of violence, but to me, they don't seem as random as they were thirty years ago. i don't feel threatened at all in our city, not like i did in the eighties and part of the nineties. Even going into the city centre for a night out back then was dangerous at times. I'm not attempting to soften things, and if you do believe it's worse now, then why do you thing it's worse, because this shit doesn't happen by itself.
There's a narrative now that wants to inflate violent attacks with Brown people by some (i'm not accusing you of that) There could be ten violent incidents by a white man and one by a brown man, maybe not born in this country. You know the one that we'll all be hearing about more than the others, and i believe that it's pushed for a reason. People look back with nostalgia, some things were good, but plenty of it was ****ing awful as well.
The implication this is a specific problem with migrants is a cherry-picked one. The statistical outlier and disproportionate crime rates are young men, irrespective of race. Women, children and older men are rarely if ever involved in violent crime like this. And I'm not saying we should chastise or blame young men as a whole, but this has always been the leaning of these crimes. But the right never want to have this discussion, they sincerely believe a nurturing Muslim mother is more of a threat than a neo-fascist from a Millwall firm with plans to personally attack and persecute minorities.
How do you know big words like Anecdotal if you grew up in Ely, Pentwyn and Llanedeyrn? Only TBG knows complicated stuff like that!
Thinly veiled "I was a chopsy twat as a kid" post imho
Pretty muchI don't know how old you are, but there was a period in the 80s when 'Taxing' was a thing. Basically, if you had a bit of decent clobber on, there was a chance someone would steal it from you, with the threat of violence, and it was Docks boys generally. I got done twice, once by the old ice rink and at the top of wyndham arcade. The only saving grace for me was that when i was 15, i was the size of a ten year old, so the bastards that robbed me wouldn't get it over their head!
I know a few big words, although i can't punctuate, my Grammar is shit and what i write has no structure. I will be using more big words in the future.
I am absolutely accusing heathblue of inflating violent attacks with brown people as thats absolutely what his contributions on here have been doing
Hes bang to rights
Say it as it is

Excellent post, that's how you shut that nonsense down

I'm beginning to like those docks lads
Riot in progress in Belfast, and might break out in Glasgow too.
Bring the hammer down on these sectarian ****s and throw away the key. The riots over Southport were bad enough, this time, throw away the kid's gloves and get these vermin behind bars for a very long time.
I grew up in Ely, but never got to wear anything anyone else would want to tax!
I remember walking down Wilson Rd when i was a kid, and my mate shouted across the road “ you’ve lost a shoe”
I shouted back “ No. I’ve found one !!”
The irony that the local communities in Belfast (of all the places) are raging due to a knife attack isn't lost on me.
I'll have to admit to being amused by the lad lamping the knife attacker around the ear with a hurling stick.
Homeless in Bristol, Cathays, Roath, Ely, Rumney, Splott I don't have a very privileged upbringing myself, lots of scrapping on the streets, coming home from school St Illtyds V Rumney high or Caer Castell as it was then, Rumney V Llanrumney, football violence IMO was far worse back then, being double dipped in a tin bath hoping i didn't get the 2nd bath, them days were shit and of course and we didn't have the internet back then to report the crime as we do now i don't look back on nostalgia thinking it was great, with 6 grandchildren between 17 and 23 (3 of them girls) i have different skin in the game now and I'll never ever ever feel guilty for worrying about them as they they go about trying to build lives for themselves in the climate of violence which we know exists, and largely, only because of Elon Musk. You'd probably like one of my Granddaughters, she was reprimanded a few weeks ago and told to remove her fcuk Nigel Farage banner from the window of her uni accommodation. You said you do not use X, I can assure you its a cesspool of shit but for however shit it is, the press, police and BBC could not label Henry Nowak a racist which they wanted to do so, the incident in Belfast was in the public domain before the narrative could be framed, we robbed shops like fcuk when we were young, but however how much we robbed them, meat, chocolate etc. wasn't locked up to prevent it, shopkeepers were empowered to do something about it, shop assistants are being told to ignore it and do not challenge anyone, them days were not great they were hard and tough for many, luckily for Mozz he didn't have to wear hand me downs as he went to a different school and the uniform was different!! Nothing or no one will ever convince me a young girl going into town on the weekend for a night on the piss had similar probability of harassment in the 60's, 70's, 80's as they do in the current decade. Not even the Guardian or BBC stats so we'll have to disagree on this one.
Rioting underway in Belfast tonight. Not sure what setting fire to buses and cars is going to achieve, other than a big ball ache for local residents in the morning,

Footage of 2 coloured guys being attacked in Glasgow. Like I said, if you're forcing me to make a choice, I'd rather the knobheads attacking people be deported than the ones in actual danger.
Glaswegian Neds protesting against knife crime.
You can't make this shiit up!
Marcross rd Bill. Considered the 'Posh end' according to my late mother.
A bit like Tommy ten names showing his concern for Muslim women and their human rights.
