There's literally videos disproving your comments about it all being Asians in this thread but you're either purposely dodging that or your own right wing spectacles won't allow you to see it. I wonder which one it is and i wonder why? Wasn't this your reply to someone mentioning a riot involving mostly white people last year? I also wonder why you're not giving this the same amount of attention as the one in Leeds the other day... If it looks like a zebra, smells like a Zebra and sounds like a Zebra then it must be a zebra. I'd probably attribute the same thinking to racists. Get a grip indeed.
There's a video of Asians trying to stop others rioting fair play. Not right wing just saying what I've seen.
The ‘Asian’ bloke videoed torching the bus has been charged and will see magistrates on Monday. His name is Iustin Dobre…
Roma gypsy?? Well if correct he needs a long stretch then him and his family deporting and banning from returning to the uk...........sithi.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.s...bed-near-army-barracks-in-gillingham-13184031 This now coupled with the police 'incident' at Manchester Airport! What do we do about knife crime? We always point and laugh over how bizarre Americans are with their guns but Jesus wept, its every 5 minutes here we hear about knife crime
I'm not saying it's not a problem, but for context we have the 5th lowest stabbing deaths per capita in the world, around one-seventh of the USA.
Just thought I would share what I was informed yesterday. I have a client who's mid twenty s son lives in Harehills. His account on the incident was that the Romanian couple had gone on holiday and left their kids aged around 14 and 10. The social services then went in to look at this.....then the Romanian community became involved. The police were also involved and the whole thing escalated. It became far worse when the Muslim community became involved and the pictures I saw on the news seem to reflect the last bit. This witness was later interviewed by the BBC (radio), he gave his account as he saw it and described above. He claimed that the interviewer seemed to have an agenda by suggesting it was all caused by "right wing" fractions which he strongly denied and countered that the real trouble started when the muslims became involved. When he (and his family)listened to the interview the "muslim' word had been erased from the interview. I have no political, left wing/right wing agenda .....I am simply putting out there a first hand account of someone who was there. To the best of my knowledge the people I know have no political agenda either.
By large scale knife crime, you mean the entire country that had 244 deaths by stabbing in 2022/3 - a fall from 282 in 2021/2 - which is significantly lower pro-rata than the rate in America despite them also having guns.
So his entire family - who weren't there and not involved - should be deported because of the actions of one person? Does that also apply to "natives"? - can we put the entire family in prison if one of them is convicted of a crime?
How about we stop viewing actions of individuals as actions of a community? Radical idea I know. Some Asians are d*ckheads, some eastern Europeans are d*ckheads, some English are d*ckheads. Most people from most communities are warm, friendly people. This was the actions of idiots and angry people. We should be more concerned in how we make things better before we start blaming entire communities. Especially in clearly underprivileged areas.
I mean knife crime, not just those that are fatal. According to the ONS in 2023 there were 49,489 knife crime offences recorded by the police, and increase of 7% from 2022. I can imagine there are others that go un reported as well. It's not a case of comparing us with another country, it's all about how we police crime in this country.
