Britain - The Official Thread

[Touring Mars]

Ooops... the former head of the police 'Flying Squad' just said live on BBC News that he thinks that these attackers were 'most likely radicalised by someone who shouldn't be here'...

Now I wonder who he could be talking about?? #abuqatada

 

[Liquid]

Flying Squad in foot in mouth moment?

Not at all surprised. See: Operation Countryman

You could argue he means that these kind of people shouldn't be "here" as in, in our society. Not that those particular people should be deported. But I think that's a stretch...

 

[Carbonox]

My condolences for the victim's family and friends.

Unfortunately, I'm not surprised that those kinds of people did animal-like stuff like this.

 

[dhandeh]

The US media is just beginning to report that a uniformed soldier was carved up by a machete-wielding man on the streets of London.

From the footage I've seen, the person murdered wasn't in uniform. Reports say that he had a 'Help for Heroes' T-Shirt on, that may have made him a target.

 

[Dotini]

Apparently the perp loitered at the scene, strutting and mugging for the camera. And there was a nearby army barracks?

 

[Liquid]

Unfortunately, I'm not surprised that those kinds of people did animal-like stuff like this.

Explain.

 

[Carbonox]

Explain.

You know, it might have something to do with the violent nature that originates from their culture...

 

[E28]

I'll just leave this unbelieveable bit of crass dumbnosity here:

So, people should get beheaded for visibly showing their support for a charity that help people injured in combat and need support?

And why does the fact the victim was white matter anyway?

 

[Liquid]

Please, do go on.

Early reports show that the attackers are British. Are all British people the same?

I didn't know British people in general like to shout Allah's name while hacking another man to death.

 

[dhandeh]

It's on YouTube. I'm not going to post a video here as it is very graphic. The soldier had reportedly walked out of the barracks and was ambushed by two men, wielding knives and machetes.

 

[Liquid]

I didn't know British people in general like to shout Allah's name while hacking another man to death.

Clearly a small fraction of us do.

The bolded bit represents a shift in your statements. You've gone from British people (those kind of people) to British people in general.

 

[Carbonox]

Clearly a small fraction of us do.

I wouldn't exactly call them British though.

 

[Liquid]

Apart from if they were born and raised there?

 

[Dotini]

Hah! How about shouting "Lancaster" and "York"?

 

[TyrrellRacing]

Please, do go on.

Pretty sure they are Somalian...

 

[Carbonox]

Apart from if they were born and raised there?

Generally, the people who do that kind of stuff tend to originate from somewhere southeast of Europe.

 

[Liquid]

I'm only going by what I've been reading. Hence the if they were born and raised here.

I could be entirely wrong.

Generally, the people who do that kind of stuff tend to originate from somewhere southeast of Europe.

And this is diabolical.

 

[Carbonox]

I'm only going by what I've been reading.

So am I.

However, from what I've seen all across Europe *coughstockholmcough* the integration of these people just doesn't work.

 

[Liquid]

London is a fine example of integration, given that white British are now officially a minority.

Non-English built England and have saved England at various points in history.

 

[dhandeh]

Any chance of getting back to matters at hand, rather than this tit for tat trading.

I doubt we will get meaningful discourse until the hysteria dies down and the full facts emerge.

 

[dhandeh]

I'm surprised the Police didn't kill the two knife wielding suspects, especially with a body lying in the road.

 

[Liquid]

It's not police procedure to kill, I don't think.

A suspect is more useful alive than dead. As long as they've been arrested...

Things can mix... that doesn't mean they integrate.

 

[dhandeh]

They probably have a 'remove threat' guideline they have to follow, especially after the underground shooting of that Brazilian chap. I'm glad they didn't kill them, as some justice can be served.

 

[Liquid]

Things can mix... that doesn't mean they integrate.

With all the kebab houses and corner shops we see being run by stereotypical "non-British", I am damn proud to be able to welcome them into our communities. They get on well with us, or me, in my experiences, and are quite happy to retain their own culture while adapting to ours.

Let's face it, plenty of "white British" don't integrate with one another. Where should we deport them?

Tongue firmly in cheek with the last statement.

 

[gokartman78]

I'm surprised the Police didn't kill the two knife wielding suspects, especially with a body lying in the road.

On the BBC news site they are reporting that a gun was also found at the scene. It doesn't say who's gun it was, but one witness said to LBC radio that the men were 'waving knives and a gun, and asked people to take pictures of them, as if they wanted to be on TV or something'.

 

[Dotini]

Let's face it, plenty of "white British" don't integrate with one another. Where should we deport them?

To the colonies, or behind hedges and walls?

 

[Carbonox]

Why haven't these two killers integrated into the English society, even if they were born in the country? (note: I don't exactly know their birthplace, but considering they have descended to the level of animals, I see no reason to keep them around in England, or the western world in general, no matter where they were born)
