Race riots in Birmingham (SKY/BBC blackout)?

[sjn2004]

Strange that nobody has mentioned this on here, possibly because there seems to be some unofficial TV blackout. Apparently some group set up to support our troops (against abuse) was attacked by a mob of communists and Al Qaeda sympathizers. They then according to news reports burnt the Union jack.

But the TV stations were silent. There are various videos now on youtube and all this was kicking off in the middle of Saturday afternoon shoppers. Funny how nothing was mentioned, all they seemed bothered about was Michael jacksons sperm donor.

How come every picture seems to show Immigrants attacking Brits (or the aftermath of it) but the article surrounding the pictures makes out the brits were the cause of the trouble??

What country are we in again?

Where'd you get that bit from?

Looks more like the right-wingers and the anti-fascists both got tooled up and went out looking for trouble with each other.

ETA: Actually I've just spotted the line about it in the article, but somehow I doubt that supporting the troops was their primary goal this time...

Both sides are as bad as each other, I say.

Its a case of a few radicals abusing British soldiers which then lead to angry people forming a group to counter the radicals. Now if on that day the Police had moved the radicals away before the troops marched past none of this would have happened.

Yes but the Police are only aloud to move away White English people otherwise they would be racists.

How has Rio Ferdinand got away with kicking an old man?

In all seriousness though, this is sickening, this country is right up the stter, counting the days and the pennies until i can move away.

I might not totally agree with the war, but i am 100% behind our boys, and anyone who has to start a riot to get there point across should move to china and try there.

The extreme right and the extreme left met for a chat. Engraved invites were sent out on the interweb and a good time was had by all. One step below a good Saturday at Euston Station, when Man U are in town and Milwall are at home and join with West Ham to go and say hello. Oh you didn't know that there's still massive football violence every week? During the season. Not in the papers or on the Haunted Fish tank news either.

Yeah, but it doesn't involve those nasty foreign types so it doesn't really matter.

My understanding is that the asian comunity believed rightly or wrongly that it was a BNP march and decided to go and sort them out.

So by thinking there would be a bunch of violent thugs there, they would go and put them right by being violent thugs... Interesting train of thought.

I had the same thought when I recieved a text off my brother as a couple of asian friends told him to avoid the city centre.

OMG! Id smack that little right in the face if I saw him, picking on that bloke like that.

This winds people up the fact its not reported and adds to tensions!!!

To my knowledge, we would never join with the West Ham Scum to take on United or any team. I'll have to ask my brother though, he was into that side of things, I never was

The whole city was affected for more than an hour on Saturday.

According to some friends who were out shopping, it was all rather frightening.

I too was rather surprised at the lack of media coverage for what was, frankly, a serious event.


What shocked me more than anything else was the fact that there seems to have been widespread knowledge of this potential problem before the event, yet it was policed rather badly.

We have experience of dealing with much better thugs here in Birmingham on Blues Vs Villa Vs West Brom days so I would have thought that these moronic little Fascists/Anti Fascists would have been childsplay for the local Bib. Seemingly not....

My personal opinion is that the local "firms" should have turned up and sorted both lots out! (I don't really think this by the way )

Its not being reported to protect the asian communities. Nationwide race riots would end and rivers of asian blood. Not a good idea methinks bad for the economy apart from anthing else.

What he said!


I think they purposely tried to keep this quiet, as the potential repercussions are quite significant.


There is already enough tension in this country at the moment. You feel that it will take just one spark to ignite the fire if we are not careful.

Not a good situation. Let's hope that we're just reading too much into this.

Are you actually suggesting that black-on-white violence should be covered up? Those skin-headed pakistani kids aren't sat knitting in the photos.


I can only hope that this was two groups of retards and they all got a kicking.
