    Am I the only one who notices that the majority of rioters are black.

    Which part of the English language are you struggling with here?If they are second generation, they are not immigrants, they are citizens.

    Aye, cause some wee Cockney Ned will have better info than the scores of press on the ground. Honestly some people are so gullible its unbelievable. Just making up excuses to go out an terrorise the decent majority.

    Pathetic.

    No, course not. It was a black guy that got shot dead initally. It was the black community who came out to protest peacefully. The 16-year-old-girl who got clubbed by the police was black. That's how it all started.

    But I gather in Manchester there's a lot of white kids rioting now.

    12.50am: Peter Beaumont of the Observer has been in touch to report a number of loud explosions at a council-run recycling and storage depot near his house in Tottenham.
    "The police warning people on that street to stay away from the windows because of the risk of another large explosion that might shatter windows," says Peter, who has gone out on to the street.
    "We just heard voices shouting, and the first boom."
    Fire tenders are now attending the scene.

    I have heard the phrase many times, second &
    third generation immigrants.
    I actually work with people who claim to be this.

    No offence but;

    Which ones do you choose to deport with your misunderstanding
    of the English language you arrogant *

    Him or me?It seems his post was an insinuation that my politics were of an extreme variety.One similar to those that are anti Irish up here.Im well aware of where he was going with the post.

    Well you may have heard the phrase "second and third generation immigrants.",im sure ive heard it myself......however, if i had meant second or third generation immigrants, i would have said "second and third generation immigrants." I didnt though, and the phrase has nothing to do with what i ACTUALLY said.
    I know full well what you were implying and you are * that i had an answer for you.

    Ehhh??? Did you even listen to it?

    1) The guy is obviously not cockney, or a ned. He is an *, with a posh accent.
    2) The press were not on the ground at the time. This is before it kicked off. That's the point.
    3) There is footage of the incident on YouTube, if you really want the facts.

    But of course you don't really want the facts at all, do you? You just want someone to be outraged at, so you can vent your-ill-informed prejudices. Fire away, mate. There's none so blind, eh? :rolleyes:

    Well in all honesty, given that you had dredged up a post of mine from about fifteen pages back, about a new BNP leaflet, for the specific purpose of agreeing with the BNP's stance, I'm kind of assuming his response was the response you were after?

    London has been relatively quiet. But Manchester and Salford have kicked off.

    Partly, ironically, because Mr Cameron ordered a load of Manchester police down to London to protect the capital.

    I understand why you said that, but i only responded to your post as i have been out and have made a point of reading every post, and i did want to say that i do agree with the deportation of immigrants.However, it is probably irrelevant as im sure 99% are not immigrants.
    By the way, for the record...i am a multiculturalist.
