There were six stabbings and numerous arrests, including for sexual assault and attacks on the police, at Sunday's Arsenal victory parade, and local streets were trashed
As someone who lives in London I consider this quite good going on the whole.
The statistics for this year's Notting Hill carnival are sure to be less heartening.

Raise the Colours founder charged with murder...
(89 Posts)'Billy Allison, the original founder of Raise the Colours, has been charged with murder and grievous bodily harm with intent after a man was badly beaten in a bar in Lichfield on Sunday. The victim died in hospital yesterday from his injuries'.
I'm going to feel even more sickened when I drive through the next town to my son's tomorrow and see all the scruffy bedraggled flags flying everywhere. Maybe they should all be taken down as a mark of respect for the murdered man.
The man that died was a much loved and generous member of the public and will be greatly missed, he was just enjoying a bank holiday. I hope justice is done but whatever, the lives of his family will never be as it was, they have a life sentence.

In other words, look for yourself.
You would make an excellent politician!

If the march was 'peaceful' who was making the racist comments?
Was it 'peaceful' because tbe turnout was substantially lower than expected, and there were enough police in attendance for that number?There were significantly more than was expected. Did you watch the march?
If by racist you mean the 3 French girls, they were supporting the women in Iran- the ones who are being murdered for daring to protest an Islamic regime.
The facts. There were not.

So so sorry to read about these horrorific crimes.
Sounds like ICE inflicted murders.
Terribly barbaric crimes against humanity.

No one should be surprised by this.
Looking at footage of the Tommy Robinson March, it gave real vibes of underlying violence, and all those who spoke were racist.
The march was peaceful. Think you were looking at the wrong one.
Meandrogrog just a point really
Personally, I think if you allege something, you need to give the references or proof as to where they occur.
Simply because maybe if you want people to believe you, then you need to do that?
Here's a better unanswered question,
'Who are the Raise the Colours fans 'fighting' for?'
In other words, look for yourself.

I will let you take the chance to look back for yourself.
In other words you are not going to answer my question.

Aha, true colours being revealed in ranting posts.
This Labour government has done much more to tackle the issue. Immigration is down.
A foreign funded, helicopter flying, pretendy politician is not your answer
There are no ranting posts here, whose posts do you mean please?
The man who died was very involved in the local community.
Lots of tributes to him locally.
I wish the council there had removed the flags as a mark of respect.
And the founder of Raise the Colours, whom some GNs appear to support, has been charged with murder.

Two men have too much beer, start a fight and the publican tries to stop or restrain them. The publican is hit and dies. My best guess. I would like to see hard evidence put before a judge and jury and hope that justice will prevail.
The dead person was not the publican here and anyway, Ricco and Loren is not a pub - it's a family-owned cocktail bar. Quite smart with outside seating.
Nor is a mob of misogynistic, abusive 'Tommy' fanatics.

No flags on lampposts here. However, I do put my Union Jack out as do my neighbours because we are patriotic. If people are experiencing harassment by the group Raising the Flag to stirrup racial hatred its wrong and the law should have the powers to arrest them, where they can house them I do not know. Those of us not affected by these hotels as mentioned by Peaceblossom cannot dismiss her and others their valid concerns, its only what they are experiencing.
All this is because successive governments have done nothing about immigration. They should have cleared the backlog first before allowing any more into the Country. We have to know who is here and we don’t. Look at these businesses on our high streets being used for money laundering. Stop serving petrol to the boats, deflate them before they can be used. Only consider those that apply legally.
We need compassion yes, but we need to know who is here so Identity Cards or no benefits, that's just common sense and also these dubious shops stripped of their goods and seized. I expect a lot of youngsters get drawn into these groups who are not bad people but those that can’t get jobs and see money wasted on hotels etc whilst they get nothing and just hear about our debt and how much this is and has costed UK. Who listens to them?
There is no way I am a racist, this isn't about race it is about unattainable illegal immigration. Also anyone who comes here and gets involved in serious crimes committed should have passports revoked, should be a probationary period of 10 years on them, if they are above board no problem. If people cannot agree to those terms they try elswhere..

Bullsh*t. Just because people want to fly our flag to be patriotic doesn't mean they are violent or far right! They are objecting to being flooded with illegal immigrants, many of whom have committed assault and rape on women and young girls and stand outside schools and watching children in parks. Are you are blind and deaf? People are scared to go out where there are hotels full of illegal immigrants. We are paying for the privilege at a cost of: Asylum Hotels: According to data from the BBC, the UK spent an average of £5.77 million per day on asylum hotel accommodation. This was down from a peak of approximately £8 million per day due to government efforts to maximize room sharing and shift individuals to cheaper housing options.Long-Term Contracts: Managing asylum housing is outsourced to private providers like Serco, Mears, and Clearsprings. A National Audit Office report revealed that these overall asylum accommodation contracts are projected to cost £15.3 billion over ten years.
Agree with you and take no notice of those trying to rubbish your post. There are none so blind etc. they are willing fools as many have tried and failed to point out.

MayBee70 Partly. Who in their right mind wouldn't be?! So many ridiculous legal cases where criminals get a slap on the wrist for awful crimes and yet anyone saying hurty words against violent immigrants gets a visit from the police. It's crazy. Left-wing lunacy.
It would be good if you could expand on that because it's not something I or many other people recognise. It sounds like propaganda.

I can’t comment on this awful situation but I can comment on the fact you can’t tar everyone with the same brush not all racist bully boys.
Britain is finished people here blaming others is shocking Tommyand Nigel maybe instead of blaming you yourself should take action go and collect the flags show your true side stand up for what you talk here. It’s very easy on here it’s just a blame site today.
Have you no idea what happens to people who try to take theee flags down?
My family live in Co Durham just up the road for a village and trees lined by these flags blocking peoples front bedroom windows.
The two men who tried to take them down where beaten up by these thugs
Go and collect them?
of course we are blaming them Ainee
Now most of them hang in shameful and ugly tatters.
