OK, I thought he was from Slovakia. My bad. In this case I will stop the Danube at Vienna.

It's not like nothing at all was happening in Cardiff, just the same kind of stuff as in Reading. Doesn't take much to escalate things from isolated incidents... I mean Gloucester they only arrested 9 people but that is being treated as rioting armageddon.

In a city of 340,000 that's all they can come up with. Average night TBH, one could make the connection with the riots but then I am reliably informed (official sources) that crime was down from 'normal'.

Anyway, you might say it's ludicrous, but the fact of the matter remains that these riots are occurring only in England, specifically the middle part of England as if someone has draw an invisible triangle across the country and sprinkled some thuggy magic dust...

Ah, so my joke answer was right?

You wouldn't be able to tell if there was a riot in Cardiff, it'd be indistinguishable from a normal day.

I'm saying that it's ludicrous to suggest that the locations are related to why it's happening, or that it couldn't spill over, outside the UK especially into somewhere like Glasgow.

[MikeH]

I appreciate that it's incredibly important for Wales and Scotland, with such high tourist revenues, to reassure tourists that rioting isn't happening where they are. And that's fair enough. And I really hope it doesn't spread!

Ah, so my joke answer was right?

Only if you're trying to connect a few average incidents on an average night in any reasonable sized as being riot inspired. So yes, if you're trying to do that, then I suppose you're right...

I'm saying that it's ludicrous to suggest that the locations are related to why it's happening, or that it couldn't spill over, outside the UK especially into somewhere like Glasgow.

But that's the whole point: normally you'd almost EXPECT places like Glasgow to kick off, not to mention any excuse for the vermin in the Valleys to set fire to stuff and go mental. But they're not - it's almost like there's something else unseen working away - an exclusively English thing so far... Something that seems to be working only in the heart of the country as well, not up north, or east, or south, or west - just the centre so far!

Just imagining your average Valleys scum giving one toss about tourist revenue when he sets his local school on fire (this happens a lot in the Valleys!)...

[MikeH]

I'm talking about Welsh Politicians like you and the Welsh Media.

Interesting reading. Sounds pretty strange for a dane. Liberal-dogma-spawned-generation-brutalised-youths

[MikeH]

Daily Mail = right wing rhetoric.

[Heraclitus]

Yes, too many racist ****ers from ****holes east of the Elbe - Danube.

Leaving aside your misreading the name of my country... You do realize your children and grandchildren will be a hated middle man minority in Belgium? Its literally inconceivable with current trends that native Europeans will represent more than 50% of the population of the country beyond 2060. Also there will be no place to run when the pogroms will take place because there will no country on the planet with a White majority in 2100.

Want to bet Japan and Korea will be 95%+ native inhabited at the end of this century? Let alone China?


Thank God for East Asians, I hope they remain as "racist" as they are and don't accept any round eyed refugees carrying the memetic poison of blind universalism. If Europeans can't get over this they must must MUST go extinct and their culture destroyed utterly. Civilization and mankind's very survival may depend on it.

Well, I did notice some political bias in it

What I found most interesting was the teacher stories. Is they really neutered as described ?

[MikeH]

I refuse to click on Daily Mail stories in case they get ad revenue from me. What did they say?

[MOBIUS]

They said lots of stuff which is basically true and then warped into Daily Mail bile.

[MikeH]

I assumed it would be "Rioting wouldn't happen if we could cane children and force them to do national service?"

[Cort Haus]

Hastings is certainly right wing, but he shouldn't be summarily dismissed just because his piece is published in the Mail. Many of his points would strike chords with some of the more left-leaning commentators around.

I think that teachers are neutered to a large degree, yes. My ex used to teach in Walthamstow - one of the affected areas this week - and I heard many such horror stories first-hand.
