It's shitty what happened to your lad. I just think there's heightened tensions at the moment because of what's happening in Gaza - and some morons don't understand where to target their ire. I remember being called (and I quote) "a white land grabbing cunt" once, many moons ago. It was jarring but I just put it down to the fact that the person that called it me was an angry bellend.
Rishi calling GG being elected 'beyond alarming' is ridiculous in a democracy. As is trying to make out our country is at risk of being torn apart by extremists. Massive knee jerk reaction that will make problems worse not better.
It's an election ploy from where I'm sitting. And a desperate one to throw out at a time when what we need is cool heads.
