Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Without a doubt.Cheer up, although living under a repressive, oppressive communist regime I still manage to keep a smile on my face. The authorities require me to.

So everyone who voted leave by a majority twice are all right wingers?,seems it’s more consistent with sour grapes for some,
There were indeed right wing nutjobs in the riots and some football hooligans to boot but not all.
England is a part of Britain. Britain is a part of the U.K. So just say U.K. and that is totally adequate.My heart breaks for people in the UK, England, and Britain.
Please come and save me and take me back to your wonderful country. Would I be in time to be able to vote for the saviour Trump?Without a doubt.
So you keep saying. I have to ask what the hell has that got to do with the discussion.All I know is that dark brown people were being slaughtered with machetes in Rwanda and no one was stopping the slaughter.
Yes. I discuss in a thread that unchecked and uncensored social media has lead to deadly violence and genocide around the world.
What's scary is when babies get tossed in a fire due to misinformation on Facebook.Scary stuff isn't it? Worse , it is ongoing with the Yanks to a lesser extent , but we will catch up unfortunately if the the politicians keeps garnering more control over people.
I don't think ol twilight is worried about that. Facebook is free enterprise not a politician in sight.What's scary is when babies get tossed in a fire due to misinformation on Facebook.

OK so yes some of the racist rioters may indeed have been left wingers and cricket fans. Mostly not though.
Free enterprise with lots of blood on their hands.I don't think ol twilight is worried about that. Facebook is free enterprise not a politician in sight.
I think more problem is our two countries (many, actually) have forgotten the hard lessons learned during the Depression and WWII.I voted leave of course but I’m not right wing,of course it will just get worse now like in the whole of Europe because labour will not tackle immigration and come next election a possibility of a right wing government,no good for anyone.
I've had a similar experience when a few coaches of bnp supporters came to my city to march through a neighbourhood that just happened to be a predominantly black area. I think they were planning on handing out sweets to the locals. Anyway, after some forthright street choreography, with the police directing, the scum were sent back to their coaches and ****** off; never to return. It was all a bit tense and excitable but you have to stand up against such scum. As far as I'm aware, the only arrests were of the bnpers (hopefully including the chap who opined that my parents had never married).Thank you eddi, Christine, Secret Chief and Others for your common sense, principals and simply standing up to the crap I am seeing here.
I don't know how many of you have actually been in a riot but trust me it is a totally different world to posting in a forum or reading your newspaper. A word is like a gunshot, sometimes people say what was that and other times world war breaks out.
The atmosphere has an incredible energy to it, a minor grievance can become a call to war. A very good reason not to insult religious figures or even the local football team. That energy can linger too and turn into making those who get away with it into short term heroes. Lynch mobs can be born this way.
I got very excited once on an anti-racism demo. A small but nonetheless nasty riot resulted, people got hurt and some got arrested and nothing was achieved. Some time later in a different life I was on a counter insurgency course with the military. So I have seen it from both sides and I know that eddi, Christine and Secret Chief are talking sense.
I do not wish to get into the pros and cons of that. What does get to me is the implication that tories would do something. The whole of Britains post war experience shows that this is not the case.because labour will not tackle immigration
Why should any society tolerate divisive and unreasoned hate speech? Just because it worked for Hitler is no valid argument in my view.
Come on, the tories have had a mere 14 years to do something, although as the great man Nige said, we've at least got our country back now. Huzzah!I do not wish to get into the pros and cons of that. What does get to me is the implication that tories would do something. The whole of Britains post war experience shows that this is not the case.
I was once working in the London offices of a multinational, there were a lot of cleaners and apparently a lot of them were illegals. Something happened and an angry member of staff made it clear that he was going to phone a relative who worked for the immigration authorities.
Some time went by and nothing happened. He contacted his relative and was told that they had been put on hold. They were not allowed to upset a system of maintaining cheap labour. There role was to just keep a lid on it.
That was in Thatchers time. So if you are into naming and blaming, at least be fair.
No. That was those who do such things themselves.What's scary is when babies get tossed in a fire due to misinformation on Facebook.
it started as a protest, maybe not terribly peaceful, the police cordoned off the area and said stay in this public area and at 8:30 disburse. they didn't disburse instead breaking through the barrier and attacking police officersWell I mean no one wants a 'riot' to take place, but what about a peaceful protest? Importantly, are you allowed to protest in the uk or not? I don't know
Such things can leave powerful memories. The first time I saw a racist demo in my area was mid 1970's. I went and watched. There was about one or two hundred mostly young men marching with union flags. I recognised one, a childhood friend. He later became a drug dealer and got murdered.I've had a similar experience when a few coaches of bnp supporters came to my city
