Why is this so prevalent in England ?

I cannot understand the mentality of those people , mostly men , causing so much damage in England at the moment. We are all shocked at the murders in Southport but why are they damaging and even looting shops ? This mentality of keeping England for the English is not found in Wales or Scotland but it is found in nothern Ireland . I see them waving flags of Saint George and rioting in so many cities. If the killer of these childen had been say French would they feel the same ? I am sure colour comes into it . I saw someone orchestrating the youths to cause havoc what are their parents thinking they are up to . I must admit I dispair of the mentality of these people .

At the moment, I am reliably told that in North Finchley pro immigration demonstrators are on one side of a boarded up shopping area, police officers are in the middle and anti something demonstrators are on the other side.
Now I really don’t understand what is the point? My sister has had to cancel her carer in case the carer was caught up in whatever might happen. I just hope that innocent people stay safe.
I don’t see why this is happening. It’s hardly a meeting of minds is it?

I agree about Sir Trevor Phillips - a very sharp man. He and several other high profile black people have long said Britain is the least racist country in the world and if it was they would not be in the positions they are today and people would not flock to come and live here.

Of course, the Left and the do gooders don’t agree with what they say so they have spent several years trying to insist that Britain is racist and stirring up trouble where there really is hardly any. Personally I have seen far less racism over the last, say, 50 years and I felt things were heading in the right direction. Now look, a few weeks into a Labour govt and we are flying back towards square one.

Of course Starmer and his “left wing do-gooders” (sic) are single-handedly responsible for the current wave of intolerance and racism confusedconfused
Quite an achievement in 4 weeks
Of course the likes of Farage, Reform, Lee Anderson, the EDL, National Front , Tommy Robinson and all their cronies are as pure as the driven snow? 😇😇😇😇

the Left and the do gooders

Any more detail available on these terms please? Are they interchangeable?

I think this behaviour would lessen if they could stop the flow of single unknown men.

It would go a long way to helping, yes.
Starmer says that faster processing of asylum seekers claims allied to trying to smash the smuggling gangs will work.The first will, the second is just about impossible.
