La Colombe Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 13 minutes ago, Gladys said: Have any of our politicians made any kind of statement? Southport is, as proximity to the UK goes, a close neighbour. They are normally pretty quick to make a statement, seeing as they are players on the world stage. Yes, it's way more local than international which is why I started the thread in Local News. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh for fuck's sake, you daft old racist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god the twitter quote police are back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's a significant difference between a police officer falling from a horse because it bolted, and gangs of racists roaming the streets pulling non-whites from their cars to chants of "kill them" aye?

There are a fair few people who call themselves working class largely due to having had actual working class parents. If you actually look at there income and lifestyle they squarely sit in middle class. Ona personal note I was recently shocked to find that I am in the top 10% of earners in the UK. I have a good life but it doesn't feel top 10%. And no I am not on a six digit income. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinahand Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 My goodness this is serious. Arson, vandalism, assault on police officers, racist attacks. Despicable. Those who do these things, bring them to justice, to the inside of a court, and then to a prison. Is that the only way to make the understand the wrong they are doing and the damage they are sowing in to their own communities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the sort of person who believes burning down a library is valid in the first place is probably quite hard of understanding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, an ex girlfriend of mine of some years ago ( Julie Dansom from Ashfield, the parish of Lee Anderson if PK wants to verify her existence) claimed working class credentials because many generations ago her male relatives worked down the pit. Working down the pit was a truly horrific way to earn a living and if anyone had a claim to be of working class, yes indeed it was the miners. However since that time her relatives gained what many would call professional ( middle class) status. Nothing wrong with that, well done to them. But she viewed herself as a working class girl ( despite her being a teacher) because of the occupation her forefathers had many years before.
