[Politics] Syrian refugee attacked at Huddersfield school

I'm not sure the problem is Tommy Robinson followers. There have been a couple of instances in this thread where people have made facetious comments about TR, sarcastically commenting about his reliability, and people have jumped on those posters as if they are seriously holding him up as a legitimate source of news. It seems to be the anti-TR people that are having more of a problem in the latter posts in this thread.

See post 139.

Why is he getting £150k ????

People see a kid who's had to leave everything behind due to war, so has very little. His family found somewhere they thought they could settle in peace only to find ignorant kids at school attacking him.
They want to help.
Have you ever wanted to help someone who lost everything? If so, you'd know.

But this feeds the racists, “oh look down the road kids got abused for years and there’s no crowd funding for victims of rape, but this poor kids got £150k in three days” that will be the line, that’s what racists will use as an excuse to perpetuate this, and like it or not that will resonate with people. As I just posted I hope some of the money raised goes towards an anti bullying charity or an event to bring some people together.

I think that’s a fair point. This will feed the anger and resentment amongst the racist masses.

It might help to understand why you're taking a beating.

Would it?

Unrelated to this discussion, someone told me yesterday how they’d been beaten viciously from day one whilst at a well known independent school. The first an unexpected punch to gut that left them doubled up in agony, from an older boy. Went on for three years until that older cohort left.

Pain is pain. Getting to find out what’s going through the tiny brain of the bully will provide no solace,

Must say there a few rather unpleasant people on this thread, they must live very sad lives

Fair comment.

See post 139.

And? You seem to be missing my point. You've pointed me to a post that is clarifying Tommy Robinson is wrong. I'm not disputing he is wrong. I am pointing out that most of the mentions of Tommy Robinson are sarcastic posts. They are not actually saying TR is a reliable source of news. They are using sarcasm to point out how unreliable he is. Most of the people responding to those posts on here seem to be missing the sarcasm and jumping on the person who posted what should be obviously a joke. It has happened at least twice on this thread. But you seemed to suggest in response to people missing this point that the problem is TR's followers. Not on this thread, it isn't. The problem on this thread is people so desperate to attack TR and his followers that they attack people who are actually making fun of him.

The Syrian family are now looking to leave Huddersfield. Completely understandable, but what a shame that must do that to feel safe.

Its a shame as Huddersfield is a nice place to live, generally. I can understand why they want to go.

You're right. I missed the point. I'm actually watching I'm a Celeb with half an eye on my IPad.

Funny that this largely mirrors our own split opinion of the story.

We really do have a national mixed bag of opinions which I've got to believe is a good thing.

Double standards on this board as the TR thread about him joining UKIP was put on to Other Stuff but this thread is still on the main board
Thus isn't exactly a football thread is it ???
