Correct, there certainly isn’t a huge amount of data in the uk.
 

One UK statistic though..

18.5% of the jail population last year was Muslim despite comprising only 6.5% of the uk population. 

But again that takes out all context from the data - including social background etc etc

It is again too simplistic.

No, I work shifts. What is a shift if it's not working nights and loads of unsociable hours? And who ever said I was successful- certainly not me, lord I wish I was and then I'd have more than the 4 days holiday I've had this year 😄

My eldest daughter works shifts, my other half works shifts, my brother in law works shifts.

Its simply a fact that the board's resident twitter claxon likes to pop his head up on the night shift and then tells everyone else how wrong they are despite pretty much all evidence to the contrary.

No you said you worked hard so you didn’t have to work shifts? So what did DRs, nurses and pilots do? Many of times when I have accused you of being pissed with your late night rants your response has been to tell me you’re working? So did you work hard or not? You don’t make much sense.

Is there a difference with people putting their point across when working nights of does the point have to be at a certain time?

Despite the fears and police going round to businesses telling them to stay away if possible, sounds like very little happened in Bolton last night?

Very little happened anywhere. Apart from huge anti racism protests. Seems like a good night where the silent majority had their say.

Quite a few arrested in Croydon after counter protest thugs started attacking police and there were some flash points in Sheffield again from the counter protest lot.

Seems to me like it was inaccurate information about the number of supposed protests. I was in Bolton yesterday afternoon and lots of businesses were preparing to close early. It cost my eldest son’s company a lot of money due to cancellations for fear of the predicted protest/riot. Be interesting to know where the information came from.

BBC verify explained that the list was shared across far right groups on telegram as they were being shut down it got out further.

Does that disprove the two tier theory then?

Fair enough. I wasn’t familiar with telegram. A quick check and it was responsible for the misinformation regarding the young girls killer. Whether this was misinformation or not, I don’t know. Whatever, it’s got the country on edge. I went into town yesterday to make sure my MIL got to the bus station as she was told there were rights planned. That was 11.30 am.

Why don’t you ask the ask the thousands of victims of Muslim grooming gangs? 
 

Like all of society there’s good and bad, whether you’re Christian, Catholic, Muslim etc. It’s not racist to disagree with the teachings of a religion where a sizeable proportion of its members still actively believe child marriage is ok. 

I'll take that as a "no" then.

Yeah it’s impossible to know whether a list of planned events is genuine or not. Indeed hard to know what would count as ‘genuine’ given any list could attract people regardless of the source.

A planned protest, on a Wed evening, a couple of days after 100s of arrests were made was never going to attract the numbers being mentioned.

That's interesting considering you've never met me. Do I think RW is a wind up merchant without the brains to back it up and way too much time on his hands? Yes.

Sorry if you feel that's condescending, but I honestly couldn't give a shit. A long time ago I grew tired of pandering to those who'd 'tell it like it is' and other ill informed, poorly read rubbish.

Also, where you are wrong is that I'm fully aware that I'm simply an average intelligence bloke making his way. But you don't need to be very bright to see some of the stupidity on this thread.

If you look back over the many years you'll see I was annoyed with many of my contemporaries with their arrogance to the Brexit vote and all that ensued, so I'd suggest it's maybe you on your chippy high horse and stop pretending to judge folk from a football forum. Now that is daft.

You could be totally different in real life I accept. But your persona plays into a caricature of 'the left' that has gained traction in the US & over here -  ie Labour/Democrats are for narcissistic arts pimps and not the honest working man. Though you might be responding to Royal, Bolty etc who are on the wind up - it's not just them reading the responses. 

I've no reason to be chippy about anything, I'm doing just fine thanks pal - even getting a decent pay rise this year thanks to the election outcome. 

Telling an ex Marine who iirc doesn't even live in Bolton to get some mates 'who left' Bolton is fucking laughable when you breakdown the implicit assumptions. 

Shame really because you post some decent, thoughtful stuff when you are not half cut.

I think the recent video of the Birmingham Superintendent pretty much confirms a level of two tier policing. As well as the video of the copper telling a group of ‘Muslims’ to put their weapons back in the mosque. 
 

Add that to the coppers who didn’t want to appear racist while dealing with the Muslim grooming gangs then I think things are relatively clear.

It was a stupid question that didn’t warrant an answer.

so the protests were organised for 7.15pm

people start saying on FB they've seen people heading towards the vacinity, masks and stuff

then at 5pm, two full hours before, GMP say nothing happening in Stockport

 

well no, it's organised for 7.15pm

then by 6.30pm TGIs car park is busy full of protesters, apparently all peaceful, so far, but no police presence

there's also a mosque down the road, police presence there, but no protesters

 

 

Using Facebook as my source as the MSM aren't covering it 

The police were watching the road to the mosque and questioning anyone suspiciously hanging around 

Whilst it was the anti racist demo on the picture turning up to counter the supposed anti immigration demo that never showed up 

Few lurkers at best but fuck all happened

Talking of figures and stats, according to something I read yesterday, seems us white British are top of the league when it come to child sex offences

I think the arrests and speedy sentencing has certainly helped. Lucky we have a PM with experience of how to deal with this.
