Paid Members FLips Posted August 9, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 9, 2011 Where are you getting this from..? Â Was on Sky News just now. There's a load of them (looked at least 50+) all surrounding a local temple. There was a big guy at the front with a sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Murtz Posted August 9, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 9, 2011 These riots are going to set racism back 20 years, To the ignorant and narrow minded maybe. I've seen quite a lot of whites mixed with blacks in the riot scenes. Â At least those terrorists have taken a back seat for a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted August 9, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 9, 2011 Cheers mate, I really need to start making the most out of Twitter. Â I can't really watch the news coverage here, as I'm at work, and the yanks don't care, so I have this forum, the West Londoner (which is where I got the Bletchley thing - it's good for updates, but a lot turned out to be bs rumors, like the london eye ), and a bunch of twitter searches on constant update.

I've seen quite a lot of whites mixed with blacks in the riot scenes. At least those terrorists have taken a back seat for a while!  The thing is though, while there are white people involved, the majority seen on the news and in papers are black or asian. I'm not saying it is mainly them as nobody knows, but that's the images people are seeing and it'll no doubt kick some stuff off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted August 9, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 9, 2011 Im not big on religion, but isnt the Sikh thing something about them being warriors as well as pious? Or some stuff like that? Its why they carry the knife. So its not really a shocker if they are defending their temples with swords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BigJag Posted August 9, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 9, 2011 Where are you getting this from..? Â There are groups of Sikhs doing their civic duty by protecting temples in Birmingham. I believe in Smethwick and West Brom. Footage has popped up on Sky News. More extensive footage can be seen on Sangat TV on ch 847. I don't believe anyone is wandering around with swords though. The footage certainly doesn't support that claim.

Â In London it is safe to say it was mainly them for the first couple of nights as Tottenham, Brixton and Hackney are made up mostly of ethnic minorities. It'd be stupid to think there are no white hood rats joining in the "fun" though. Â I will say when I walked down to Ealing last night they were mostly black and most videos taken from there back this up despite Ealing not being as ethnically diverse as most of the other places.

Â On Sky News it said they said they aren't just defending their Temple but their community no matter what race or religion.

CurryAngel Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Sikhs doing the same in Southall as well. Got to give them credit. Last night Turkish, Persian and Greek restaurant owners in West Ealing chased off a load of the cunts with meat cleavers and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimo the great Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Great to hear Anne Diamond's thoughts eh? Â Â Got to laugh at the most manc sounding guy at the end saying "Fuckin'ell" Â Hearing that people have seen groups of hoodies getting taxis up to manchester from around my area. This is surreal.

I mean I'm not saying it's right for racism or any race-based namecalling to start happening, but I'll be curious to see how it's handled, or if it's even brough up that the looters are mainly ethnic minorities. Even just pointing it out could cause a load of shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
