Re: Southport Murders
Thank you J Gowers, my sentiments exactly, why smash up and loot shops where a family maybe British to the core maybe struggling to live a decent life. , these rioters remind me of the Black Shirts pre war, sick anti British pro fascist bigots. Looks like the true British came out to thwart their destruction.

Re: Southport Murders
Not sure I should really post an opinion as it might get Jimmy and Dougie throwing more “stuff” at each other. (I hope it is just a long standing jovial joust)
Anyway, I left the Telford area early 1970’s for many of the reasons that are being posted and complained about by many who are still living in the UK.
Canada is not much different other than whatever happens in the UK happens here 10 years later.
PLEASE get that S**t sorted out so this idiot Trudeau will have a reference point.
We left because of the influx of newcomers who had no skills, no English language, and the right to take whatever they wanted regardless of who it belong to. (my mother was punched in the face trying to protect her garden) I was never an aggressive child, but I soon learned how sharp the knives are in their socks. Then my street skills developed very quickly.
Like many of you, I have lived and worked with many other nationalities, races and religious beliefs. It was pretty easy in the 60’s. People respected each other even if we didn’t like or understand them. Multi generational families of all kinds of races, colours etc, just fit together to make our own lives, and have done for centuries in the UK. It's the incoming who want everything the way it was in their own country. We welcome you with open arms, but you have to fit in here. We don't have to change for you.
I have kept close contact with “home” since I left and I’m really pi**ed that the UK pulled another 1950’s welcome mat, and opened the doors to anyone who wanted to live there. They should have learned that lesson before. So much for moving back home; there is virtually nothing, nor a reason to leave the frying pan for the fire. At least the EU passport is no more a free entry ticket.
If the videos are accurate, it is not difficult to spot the instigators. Divide and conquer. We created local groups in the 60’s to keep what was ours from being pilfered. Everyday citizens need to “take their streets back”. We have the same police selection committee problem thanks to the WOKE ways, but when citizens and police back each other up, the “little ones” can manage ok.
My local community had a street racer problem. We got together and solved the problem locally. Yes our police (RCMP) are pretty much useless, but if we show them how it’s done, maybe they will follow.

Think it certainly was during the Iron Ladies term in office
