Rioting cunt claiming "I was shouting 'Alan' not 'Allah' " might be the most desperately hilarious thing this week.

Went looking for the Dan GIF and discovered someone had altered it, for some other reason I assume.

Now I need to see a bald Sigourney Weaver recoiling from Partridge's scotch egg breath.

Getting charged, then breaking bail conditions by going on holiday to Dubai is quite the thing. We've got enough wankers in Aldershot already (I'm not including myself in that group, others may disagree) we don't need people from Farnham crossing the border. It'll be a while before he can do that again : A man has been jailed for two years and five months for taking part in a violent protest at a hotel housing asylum seekers.www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c14zggn25znoEdit: as a follow up just found out that the prick who got banged up is the nephew of my sister's best friend, just seen his Facebook page with him on a jet ski in Dubai with "Living my best life" on it. Ha-fucking-ha. |

Mass stabbing in Solingen, Germany at a festival. Little detail so far but the usual suspects are jumping to conclusions with very little information.
BBC now have a report:
A number of people are reported to have been killed in a knife attack in the western German city of Solingen, local media say.
Bild website says a man randomly stabbed passers-by during a festival. Several people were also injured in the attack.
The attacker is believed to have fled the scene, and police have launched a manhunt.
Details of the attack are still sketchy. (My bolding)

Hmmm. I mean yes it's fucking terrible but at the same time do you actually wonder how much of the stuff wasn't reported in the past and has now gained significant news interest due to current events? So has it really gone to shit or is a lot of this being amplified? |

I assure everyone that young people got stabbed plenty decades ago. We just didn't have 24 hour access to news reporting on every stabbing happening everywhere in the world.

even 20 years ago there was round the clock news and never felt as bad as it did, of course there was stabbing etc but with the cuts to public services and people not getting the mental help they need thanks to the tories being thieving cunts, it seems there is more chance of some nutter stabbing someone "because the pink unicorn told him to"

Right...let's not get into the lazy stereotype that people with mental health issues are more violent than anyone else in the community.
And also, just because it feels bad to you now doesn't mean it's actually worse than before.

Yeah can we please keep this thread to major incidents, not every random act of violence like we're the daily express / mail / telegraph.
Violent crime is waaaay down from when we were young(er).

Local press was more of a thing. It all did get reported but it was reported in the Town X Courier. Plus breaking news alerts were not a thing.

This woman is literally going to prison having being convicted of inciting racial hatred and violence but the tweets which broke the law did not break X’s rules www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn8ljjjmpg5oSo if anyone was still in any doubt about what kind of website Musk runs - its now official, you can break the law and face a substantial custodial sentence for the seriousness of your law breaking but X considers that degree of racism absolute fine. |

I don't think that was ever in question. Musk himself has said as much.

As an aside - do we think her case is getting so much press attention because she’s the wife of a Tory councillor or because she’s the only arrestee who isn’t either a child or Gollum/Shrek lookalike?
They do seem to like using her photo quite a lot.

Seems some people are now referring to the Farage riots as the "anti-open borders riots", to try and give them some kind of legitimacy.

Yeah those borders...so open. I just get off the plane and just walk into the luggage collection area.
