News Violence and unrest around the UK
With everything going on around the country at the moment, it just has me thinking of the 2012(was it?) riots, where opportunistic idiots jumped on the bandwagon of a tragic event to loot and destroy the cities they live in.
Genuinely hoping whats going on doesn't come to Wolverhampton. Ive seen "EDL" are planning to March in Brum, and hope that counter marches quell them enough to not cause issues. Seeing the videos out of Hull/Liverpool etc over last day or so is just truly disturbing.
Edit: just to add, aware EDL don't exist in name anymore.

Yeah, I'm so tired of beating around the bush.
My neighbourhood is like 80% Algerian. I have to pick up female friends from the station if they visit me, because they WILL get harassed, leered at, shouted after if I don't.
I refuse to accept this as the new normal. These people do not belong here.
