Is this the real face of Britains Multi Cultural Society?

I notice the PC brigade (the police) kept a low profile as usual. Would it have been so if it was Whites attacking Blacks or Asians?

You must learn to keep up sp1814

In the SPORT section as opposed to NEWS

This also refers to an Arsenal vs Tottenham match as opposed to the match in Manchester that SP refers to.

Do try and keep up

Yes...I was talking about that story about the riots in Manchester.

However, it may have been 2006, not 2007. According to a colleague, it was at the World Cup, so it couldn't have been last year.

Was in 2008 - and it was Scottish and Russian fans:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/ 7401814.stm

Rangers supporters in Manchester for the Uefa Cup final clashed with riot police after a big screen in the city centre broke down.

Officers came under attack after the screen in Piccadilly Gardens failed.

Forty-two people were arrested in the city, including six who were held after a Russian fan was stabbed inside the City of Manchester stadium.

I think the point AOG, is that this is covered as a football riot. If you changed all the people in the picture to blacks or asians, it would be a race riot.

Men seem to get off by attacking each other in gangs.

Some people get together by the colour of their skin, some by the football team they support. Previously it was down to the type of music that they listened to.

I think we can all agree that all the above attacks are abhorrent acts of violence and not to be condoned.

But to say, it is that this violence is down to 'black culture' or immigration, is where we disagree.

Thank OEV

So AOG - how comes when blacks or Asians go on the rampage it's a race issue?

[jonnythebosh]

The simple problem here is not the racial origin of these cretins, it's the fact that there are more and more of them of all races. And the reason that they carry on as they do is because they just do not give a sh#t about the consequences if they are caught. How many times will they get a slap on the wrist before/if they are jailed? and on the rare occasions that a custodial sentence is dished out they will be out after a quarter of their sentence anyway. Until there is a proper deterrent this sort of thing will keep escalating. I won't hold my brath.

Oh dear. I see the egg and spoon (sp1814) is playing the race card again as well as not remembering something which only happened in May of this year.

Perhaps it's not, that's fine, I'll take this on board sp1814.

Only providing the same can be said when Whites & Blacks or Whites & Asians go on the rampage.

Not a race issue at all, only a cultural one eh ?
