Don’t mess with the tolerant people in Brighton.

I am so heartened by last night I am so joyful to know I m not the only dammed person in this country, who cares, it’s really lifted my spirits.
We are millions more and we must not be afraid to voice our care and support we need to all work together black, white and brown, forget colour see people for what they are not what their skin is like. A bad person is bad not because of his skin or his birthplace don’t be afraid, say good morning to your Muslim or Jewish neighbour smile at people acknowledge them it will come back four fold

That knowledge that we are not alone is what we must always cling on to.

I can’t agree with a word of what you write about immigration MaizieD and fortunately nor does this government.

I'm sorry🤔.

What can't you agree with about what I am saying?

Kandinsky why so angry and bitter?

If this country is truly f**cked up, as you say, why would you want to remain here?

You could be an ex pat?

This is the message to all people as they enter Brighton by road.

If friend we greet thee hand and heart. If stranger no longer be. If foe our love shall conquer thee.

The first line I left off by mistake.

Hail! We ask not what thou art

Wwm2 what do you mean? Do you mean- so long as you have not voted for Reform?

Sorry?

Well seems to me that there’s a real down on anyone here who is not an ardent Labour supporter? Wwm2 so there’s an irony about your quote. I hope you can see that.

Brighton is Brighton🌈
Not as much love about in the so called peaceful protest in East London.There were Bangladesh and Palestine flags being waved by masked men, some awful placards and a Labour Councillor ranting to the rapt crowd around him.Labour, my heart sinks.His message was that the far right should have their throats cut.He’s since been arrested.
Another poster on this forum noticed as did I that quite a lot walking in Walthamstow looked ready for a fight.Thankfully there wasn’t a far right group to fight as they hadn’t turned up.
It seems that a site peddling fake news had a hand in making out on SM that something was planned when it actually wasn’t.
That’s why the Police message to stay at home is the best advice.

I’m a Labour supporter but not a Labour bootlicker.I’ll say if I think they get things right and also when they get things wrong.
The ‘ardent’ won’t it’s true, every move they make will be wonderful.Including the dreadful decision to cut the WFA for pensioners.

ronib - I’m sorry that your friend was withiut her carer as a result of the riots. One our family was due to visit her recently bereaved, cancer patient mother. Mum lives in a predominantly Muslim area, she is a brown skinned Muslim . Her daughter no longer follows her faith, is light skinned and ‘could pass for white’. Mum phoned her daughter - don’t come, I’m ok. I’ve locked up, please don’t risk visiting tonight. The EDL were expected to March her road. Riot vans and police waiting.

It isn’t about being ‘an ardent Labour supporter’. I’m so pleased to see some hope expressed here. Starmer’s government inherited an unholy mess. Your concerns about social/nursing care have long been a real concern and worry to many on this forum. Austerity was unnecessary, destructive and frankly disgusting

They are disgusting Nazi fascists and we need to cut all their throats and get rid of them all

This is a Labour councillor?

Jeez, what hope have we got??

That quote is written on the Patcham Pylons that people pass as they enter Brighton.

So I think you a a bit muddled.

The labour councillor, who was already suspended, has been arrested.

I should blooming well think so!

But can you imagine the outrage on here if any one ‘right wing’ had said something like that?

A left winger says it and it barely gets a mention.
Why is that?

Firstly- it has clearly been mentionned, loud ,and clear.He was suspended and arrested- and fast. And he is just ONE. Quite simple, really.

Well to be fair it hadn’t been mentioned until I just did.

The 1st I’d heard about it was a post by Oreo

And it doesn’t matter that it’s one person saying it - that one person was talking to hundreds!

But can you imagine the outrage on here if any one 'right wing' had said something like that?

But the point is he isn't just anybody he is a Councillor. Ricky Jones.

Your right Kandinsky Why?

Not much of a tolerant human being is he?

The problem with claiming the moral high ground is there is always someone on the same side who will let you down.

The 'cut their throats' incident has been mentioned on other threads.

Kandinsky not true.

Many Labour supports on this thread have condemned his comment. You can read them for yourself.

Has it? But not on here where we are.

Oreo

Yes, it has. Who is 'we'? Do you expect people to follow you around from thread to thread in case you've missed what they've had to say?

If is just untrue to say that nobody mentioned it. It was brought up some time ago. People just have other things to do than post the same things on multiple threads. I've been cooking and eating dinner since it was discussed, as I'm sure have others.

Me too, I feel so much happier today. Well said, BlueBelle.

Playing Devils advocate, how many pages would there be about it, if a Reform councillor (if there are any?) said something similar?
