I don’t think that seeing less people of colour on daily basis is the main factor here. As you mentioned, the inequality and years of conditioning is what triggered this sheepish response to protest against immigration. Let’s not forget it all started with a lie that the man behind the awful crime was an extremist Muslim terrorist.
Embarrassing.
I believe (and I’m not Scottish) that Scotland IS exceptional. I have not lived in every country in the world, Europe on even UK but the people are just genuinely nice and welcoming. Racism and bigotry has no footing here. Obviously there are exceptions to that rule, but the general public in places like Glasgow clearly showed what they think of this kind of behaviour. Respect.
It’s been for many years that gen-pop of England have been conditioned by the BBC and politics to quickly jump the gun the go to racism for answers.
The main problem is that they (they I mean people that went to protest against immigrants) believe that they fighting the right cause, even though what triggered their response, was a big fucking lie.
This. Its not just one sentence. The whole article is off but this particular claim is just outright stupid.
Classic BBC opinion manipulating bs. Some “expert” in the articles even says that the lack of “far right racist extremism” is because the weather is shite in Scotland
What a beauty. I have a CBF125 I’m going to mod. Maybe something like thjs
Vibe
Signed!
What a beauty! Seen one on a motorway some time ago. A real head turner
Thanks for the warning. I will speak to decadentrebel who started this community (and only asked me to moderate it) to see if the suggestions are worth adding to the rule bar.
Unfortunately I’m on an instance that doesn’t support downvotes, so I can’t even see those
I really don’t under your stand point here. I’m not targeting you either. I asked (!) another user Boozilla who has been active recently to update his posts to include a little synopsis of the article linked in their posts. They DMed me back saying “Done!” - no drama. It’s honestly just to keep this community clean and have some sort of continuity between posts. It’s easier when you scroll down the feed and you can see the title of the article as well as a short synopsis to catch your attention before you commit to reading the whole article. There is no rules, there is no commands, no one is telling anybody off - I just politely asked you. I hope you understand my motives - honestly there is no hostility intended.
Please add a short synopsis in the posts title to hint what the article is about
Please add the article’s title to your post title to keep consistent form across all the post “Dendrocnide moroides”
Otherwise really interesting!
On my check-out list this spooky season!
Your contribution to the community are valued. All I ask for this post’s title to be a bit tidier and in line with the rest of the posts to keep this community consistent.
Doesn’t break any rule. Its just poor vocabulary and writing skills
Please change the title not include “fucked up” and be more informative like “extremely dark story”
I have a CBF125 2012 and CBR600F 1997 - never had any serious issue with any of these. That’s just my experience. I have a civic 2017 and no issue there either but its on the newer end of the spectrum so not exactly a good example
Such a beautiful bike, especially the neo cafe racer trim. Went to view it at my local Honda dealership and I was really impressed. Maybe one day
I’m not saying there is no racism or bigotry in Scotland. Unfortunately it’s everywhere. Just on a lot smaller scale in Scotland.
