TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 I’ll confess that over the last few weeks I’ve had a slowly creeping feeling of concern about the kind of world we’re going to be living in in the near future. There are some genuinely scary things going on at the moment. This feeling was increased tenfold today when I saw this tweet. Although it appears no one got physically hurt here, it must have been a truly terrifying episode for those involved. Are we in for some truly scary times ahead, or am I just being a auld fanny? Thoughts? https://twitter.com/evanfanning/status/1271837543395397632?s=20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been empowered and encouraged since 2016.I see similarities with how trump has encouraged the mob in usa as well. This particular episode sums them up. Picking on folk who aren't bothering them, when they know they have vastly superior numbers.Imagine having to attack folk having a picnic in order to make yourself feel better about your own pishy existence.

Reports seem to suggest that there have been more right wing terror plots uncovered than other plots in the last 6 months. Short lived, I hope.

The story goes like this... middle aged woman absolutely convinced that Michelle Obama used to be a man. (Clearly faked video to back up this belief) my first worry is that a woman who has had an education and is living in an advanced country like the UK should hold such beliefs so strongly in the face of such overwhelming rational evidence against it is frightening, has someone put something in the water? 5G, Soros, Bill Gates, what has happened to people? Are these beliefs just filling the vacuum that religion left behind. Answers on a postcard please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social media works both ways, these morons use it to show off, the authorities will use it to chap their doors early one morning. @TPAFKATS sums it up rather well. They will slip back into the shadows, and the football terraces when they are allowed back into grounds later this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Ricky Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Have you missed the rise of the far right across Europe and in the USA? Too much time watching TV, placing bets and guzzling cheap booze can't be good for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon with no football and coupled with the lockdown , these f**kwits are looking for some sort of misguided purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, seems football is a breeding ground for these types and has been for many years. At least it keeps them off the streets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The far right have used the BLM riots as justification for getting stuck in under the pretence of wanting to "protect the statues". This is why BLM activists should cut out the violence. It just breeds further violence in a cycle. Violence never achieves anything sustainable. When are people going to get their thick neanderthal skulls around this? Once the BLM stuff dies down in the next few weeks or so, the far right will die down. This will all be forgotten in a couple of months and we'll be back to talking about Brexit again.

Two 20 year olds were arrested yesterday for assaulting a police officer who caught them trying to throw paint on a local statue. Certainly no mass disorder of any kind.
