IndiBrony , in Malaysia is first country to issue ‘do not travel to UK' warning over riots
@IndiBrony@lemmy.world avatar

I’d thoroughly agree with this. Heck, I’m a white British male and these riots make me fearful. Fuck this whole situation, man.

solsangraal ,

what do they think they’re going to accomplish?

Nothing

do they think?

No

Skua ,

Considering that a whole bunch of EDL supporters and adjacent groups are involved, making brown people feel unwelcome in the country is absolutely the goal

what do they think they’re going to accomplish?

Smash stuff up, scare minorities. I don’t think they have put much thought into it.

ByteOnBikes , (edited )

are they blaming all brown people for the stabbings?

If I’m only taking the word of commenters in the news and social media, the videos of people interviewed… It’s “Immigrants”.

That depends on what they consider an immigrant, which very often extends to anyone non-white.

On look, they were targeting Filipino nurses too.

what do they think they’re going to accomplish?

Terrorism.

apotheotic , in Malaysia is first country to issue ‘do not travel to UK' warning over riots

Is there any outlet providing aggregated information about all the riots so far? I’d like to find out more but naturally " UK riots" just brings up the most recent event because of how media works

Streamwave , in More than 100 arrested in London as violence flares after Southport stabbings

There’s a lot of simmering anger, resentment and frustration in many communities in this country. It’s been building for years. The stabbing of those poor girls at their dance class by the son of Rwandan immigrants seems to have been the straw that broke the camel’s back.

This isn’t just the EDL (an organisation which disbanded more than a decade ago), this is thousands of English people who are furious. We can try and understand the sources of that fury, and then begin the work to resolve it, or we’ll keep getting these sorts of horrid outbreaks of ugly violence.

We don’t know the details yet. But, if this stabber was a white kid, we’d all be talking about mental health. Non-white kids of immigrants can also have mental health issue. But the worse of the country jump straight to racism, blaming the culture of the immigrant. If this lad grew up here, he has been surrounded by our culture. If there is mental health issues, it’s our fault it wasn’t caught in time. If he went mental for cultural reasons, we can’t wash our hands of that either. If we want assimilation, we can’t other people.

Coincidentally, a friend of mind’s grandfather was Malaysian and she was already scared to go out. I’m definitely not sending this to her.

awesome_lowlander ,

Probably not an unreasonable fear at the moment?

Emperor OP ,
@Emperor@feddit.uk avatar

It’s all understandable - although the violence is relatively isolated, I imagine it can be tense on the streets at the moment. So I can see why anyone would be worried, especially if you are a woman of colour. I’m not sending her that report because I don’t want to add to her anxiety at this time.

Infernal_pizza , in Police station set on fire in Sunderland as unrest rolls on
@Infernal_pizza@lemmy.world avatar

Imagine if we could get people to care this much about stuff that actually matters rather than racist shit

Emperor OP ,
@Emperor@feddit.uk avatar

Worse than that - it’s made-up racist shit.

Evil_Shrubbery , in Malaysia is first country to issue ‘do not travel to UK' warning over riots

Parry shield. I wonder what the riposte animation is like (probably smol club).

Putang inang mga bulok…

Churbleyimyam , in Malaysia is first country to issue ‘do not travel to UK' warning over riots

What an absolute embarassment.

JeeBaiChow , in UK protests: No 10 to hold Cobra meeting over escalating violence

Time to bring in the Joes, then!

MrNesser ,

No need for the Army the police are handling things.

Those calling for the army want to normalise its involvement in domestic affairs, which you do not want to happen.

ramble81 ,

This joke may have been lost in cultural translation. He’s most likely referring to G.I.Joe since in the cartoon they were always fighting the organization called Cobra. Don’t think it was meant as anything else unless I’m missing something.

Th4tGuyII , in Far-right thugs throw rocks at Filipino NHS nurses on way to work
@Th4tGuyII@fedia.io avatar

Absolutely disgusting.
Poor nurses trying to save lives and they're paid back by having these racist EDL cunts throwing rocks at them.
Should get Keir Starmer send these pieces of shit over to Rwanda instead, and see how long they last.

As @theskyisfalling said, these are the same ignorant arses that brought us Brexit, and continue to make our country look like an absolute laughing stock on the world stage.

Luvs2Spuj , in Two in five not saving enough in pension for even basic retirement

I don’t expect to reach retirement age as it will keep increasing. If I do make it that far, I expect having to work so long to get there that I will be pretty much a husk of a human.

That isn’t to say I’m not paying into one, but I probably am in the ‘not adequately saving’ group because I want to enjoy the time I have now as best I can.

The future is terrifying and causes a lot of anxiety…

Edit: also wasn’t the state pension supposed to cover a basic retirement!? Fuck.

flamingos , in Review says puberty blocker curb has not led to suicide rise

“We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong.”

Mr Maugham said the review considered “current and former” Gender Identity Development Service patients, while his figures were directed to the larger group of “those on the waiting list”.

The DHSC has insisted that patients on waiting lists were included in the review as well.

They literally didn’t, from the review:

I have examined the figures provided by NHSE on deaths in each year between 2018-19 and 2023-24. They are based on an internal audit by the Tavistock of deaths among current and former GIDS patients

IzzyScissor , in Review says puberty blocker curb has not led to suicide rise

“We only saw a small rise, so until statistically significant numbers of children kill themselves, the brutality will continue.”

Why is “suicide” the metric for healthcare to begin with? Imagine if dentists acted like this. “No one committed suicide from not receiving a root canal in the last 3 years, so we’ve determined them to be medically unnecessary.”

apotheotic , in Britain’s richest family sentenced to 4 years in jail

It was a pipedream, but I thought for a moment this was about the royal family.

Conviction means nothing if you can’t enforce it. I highly doubt any of them would ever actually see jail.
