It may not be an appropriate time to visit the UK.





Mod edit to make thread title a bit more specific - will change again if it continues past the summer. Milnet.ca Staff

The biggest issue I have wirh the media coverage of the unrest so far has been labeling the protesters as "far right" and "far right extremists"

While at the same time seemingly turning a blind eye to the groups of immigrant youth who have been violently assaulting people (even just over these last few days) as mere "asylum seekers"

Not everybody protesting the mass immigration to their fairly small country is of the far right, nor is everybody on the opposing side an asylum seeker.



(If you're fleeing a shitty country and a poor quality of life in that country, I wouldn't be causing ANY problems in the country you're trying to seek asylum in...)

Native Britons have every right to be pissed off with mass immigration that they didn't vote for, weren't consulted on, yet is having a very real impact on their day to day lives & the future of their country

Highly localized, and fun to watch from afar with a pint in one's hand on a sunny summer's eve ;)
 
And it’s made some unlikely allies in Belfast. The UDF and IRA united in rascism.

It caused my wife to dissallow my periodic Tim Hortons run to Belfast.

I recall a time when Belfast residents would casually step over unexploded IRA mortar bombs, lying in the street, on their way to work ... a great example to us all of course ;)

Fun factoid: the Irish are amongst the most racist people in Europe, and you could easily throw in the North with those figures...

The simple explanation* is that they learned from the best.




* Of course, there is no such thing as a "simple explanation".
