Not saying we should not protect asylum seekers or anyone else. Its this case of making special cases for some section of a community over others. We certainly didn,t here the same rhetoric on here with the BLM protests that turned into riots where excuses were made rather than castigating those taking part. Its the weakness of the left where minorities always seem to be one step above majorities in there eyes and will go the extra mile to protect them. That does not mean they should get zero protection but the same as any group get without fear or favour. But those minorities are special cases. There's literally gangs of lads stalking the streets right now setting fire to hotels where those minorities are living. When that happens, those minorities deserve extra protection. It's a nice idea that everyone is treated equal and afforded the same protections, but that only works if everyone treats each other equally. Which isn't happening. It feels like this is getting close to "Scheiß auf sie. Sie sind nur Juden". In Britain. In 2024.

I think you probably warrant being treated as a special case if people are out, in large groups, to try and murder you. Which was never really the cadence of the BLM protests, unwarranted though they were at the time in my view. Unless you were a statue of a slave trader you were pretty safe I seem to recall. Seem to recall most of the issues came from those "protecting the statues".

I lived in Brazil where there were some proper no go areas. Even then not as many as a lot of the rich locals thought. There are no no-go areas in mainland UK - NI might be different. This made up nonsense is dangerous talk and via the social media echo chamber leads to the sort of violence we are seeing now - someone will eventually get killed and the likes of tvor will wash their hands of all responsibility. Have you been to NI? It's no different than here these days. Went a couple of years back to see a client in Hillsborough. Firstly, it's astonishingly beautiful. People here who haven't been find that difficult to imagine. It's green, like Kent, or the Lakes. Absolutely stunning. And the coastline is every bit as wonderful as the Scottish Highlands for example. Secondly, there aren't no go areas. He took me the full tour of many of the famous/infamous places. Went out and about in Belfast also. It was fantastic. To be clear, you wouldn't walk in certain areas with an orange top on. Or, conversely in other areas, wearing shamrock green. You'd probably be OK but you'd likely receive some abuse. But the idea of a casual stranger not being able to walk down any roads or go into any areas there is, yet again, nonsense propagated by people for what end I've no idea whatsoever. Again - the right-wing here love running down our country. Just like the American right wing in many respects. I did the same in Belfast a few years ago. A long wet weekend with some old pals. Same experience, terrific place, great people (mostly) and beautiful surroundings - loved it.

“This has got nothing to do with politics. It is opportunistic crime, taking place on a massive scale. Criticise the police, but there simply aren’t enough of them to deal with hundreds of outbreaks of violence. Millions of Londoners are terrified.”
“I don’t want the state to interfere with our lives, but frankly, to protect the innocent majority, the government needs to take radical action today. We must put the army on the streets, to allow the police to get on the job, and protect our citizens.”
Nigel Farage.
No, sorry, that was Nigel Farage in 2011.
I wonder why he's changed his tune?

Getting the feeling he's in a bit of trouble here and knows it. All over the media in protest mode at the moment. "It's nothing to do with me". He's worried. James O'Brien did a great job on LBC showing precisely what he's up to. "I'm not saying they are...I'm just asking the question" and so forth. Just like on his feed the other day when he said "there's a demonstration in Southport at THIS ADDRESS....but I urge you not to go".
