Subject: RE: BS: Terrorism you don't read about From: Steve Shaw Date: 14 Jul 17 - 06:52 PM Er, you tried to persuade us that Boris using the term piccaninny was not racist. Well a lot of us thought it definitely was, Keith. Over to you. There is no tidying this hot mess. |
Subject: RE: BS: Terrorism you don't read about From: Jack Campin Date: 14 Jul 17 - 05:07 PM To be fair, Jack has stopped trying to link it to racism. No I haven't. Only some acid attacks are racist, but there are enough such to terrify whole populations into feeling they're potential targets. Which is what terrorism is intended to achieve. London delivery riders have been targeted lately. Being proletarian in an exposed and friendless occupation makes you fair game for these thugs; ipso facto that's the sort of occupation non-white Londoners will be disproportionately forced into doing. Whether or not the attackers had racist intentions, the system that provided them with victims was racist. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/jul/14/acid-attack-victim-jabed-hussain-delivery-drivers-have-felt-unsafe-for-months And more. Acid attack threat on a gay Muslim after his wedding made the news: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-40609482 Uncontrolled acid sales are exposing anybody who's put themselves on the line like that to deadly danger. Places that sell that stuff need to get their act together NOW. |

Subject: RE: BS: Terrorism you don't read about From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 14 Jul 17 - 05:23 AM Jim, you are just pursuing your mad vendetta against all things British including, for all its faults, probably the most tolerant police force in the world. If the attacks were racist, other organisations and victims would speak out. You have seen quoted the British representative of The Acid Survivors Trust International. Nothing about the attacks being racist, except for just one out of over a thousand. There were five such attacks in London last night. The motive was theft of mopeds from delivery riders. The whole issue is being debated in parliament next week. You are proved wrong again Jim, but do keep up the comedy. You are the only amusement in this whole terrible issue. |

Subject: RE: BS: Terrorism you don't read about From: Jim Carroll Date: 11 Jul 17 - 07:18 AM "The majority of the attackers are British white men and the majority of the victims are white men too." I've just put that up Keith The operative word is "the majority" - you claim to have shown that none of these attacks are racist Racist crimes of any type are in the minority compared to other violent crimes Nobody is claiming otherwise - you are defending racism by claiming that none of these attacks are racially motivated, just as you claimed that the Manchester attack couldn't possibly have been racially motivated because the police claimed them to be gang related You have had descriptions of ethnic gangs which have been formed as a protection against racist attacks on their communities - you chooose to ignore those facts, even though they come from the police and community workers That's how dedicated you are in getting to the truth Why are you making the defence of racism by denying its existence another of your crusades The huge increase in racist attacks in Britain over the last year speaks for itself You have yet to respond to that either "A new study from University of Oslo reveals that anti-Semitism in Europe is far worse than originally thought" Did you know that the Israili regime are now openly defending antisemitism in Hungary Bobad? The ultra-right there issued an antisemitic poster attacking Jewish billionaire George Soros Human rights Watch compared the poster to Nazi propaganda, Yossi Amrani, Israel's ambassador agreed and demanded a ban on the poster His bosses in Israel endorsed the call, but U-turned when they found that Soros gave money to charities which are critical of Netanyahu - they are now defending the poster. So the Israeli regime has finally come out publicly declaring their own well-being to be more important than that of the Jewish People That's from today's Times, by the way There now follows a short period where the usual suspect will hastily scrabble round finding reasons why Israel's antisemitism should be defended and supported Jim Carroll |
Subject: RE: BS: Terrorism you don't read about From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 11 Jul 17 - 07:09 AM Jack, your Twitter link describes another attack but with no suggestion of a race motive. You have no reason to make that personal slur about my compassion, and pretending that acid attacks are racist does not make you compassionate. Both the victims and perpetrators are disproportionately white. Are "old people shut in their homes from fear of racist attack" ? Who says so? |
Subject: RE: BS: Terrorism you don't read about From: Jack Campin Date: 11 Jul 17 - 06:40 AM There is no suggestion at all that racism is an issue. The current case is the only one so far. No it isn't. See the Twitter link I gave. There is a difference between what it feels like to be a fighter in a gang war, or an accidental victim of gang warfare, and to be someone deliberately targeted by a coordinated army of racist soldiers. I suppose we can expect hell to freeze over before the Keithbot ever lets slip one flicker of compassion for old people shut in their homes from fear of racist attack. |
Subject: RE: BS: Terrorism you don't read about From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 11 Jul 17 - 06:10 AM BBC April 2017 "Jaf Shah, executive director of Acid Survivors Trust International, said the current controls did not prevent people buying smaller quantities of acid. "You don't need to have a large amount to cause serious physical and emotional damage," he said. He said the UK-based charity, which advocates for victims worldwide, had become aware of increasing numbers of attacks in the UK over the last three to four years. Attackers might choose acid as a weapon instead of a gun or knife because there were no penalties for possessing it, he said. "On a global level, women are the majority of the victims. What we know in the UK is that the majority of perpetrators are young men, as are at least two-thirds of the victims," Mr Shah said. "The majority of the attackers are British white men and the majority of the victims are white men too."" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39678059 |
Subject: RE: BS: Terrorism you don't read about From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 11 Jul 17 - 06:01 AM Jack, this Guardian article I linked to earlier is a year old but discusses those exact same figures. It is suggested is that the old are over-represented because the figures are just for hospital admissions. Younger victims may not need as many hospital visits. Some quotes, "Six in 10 of all victims were male, while 71% described their ethnic origin as white British" "Jaf Shah, the executive director of the support group Acid Survivors Trust International (ASTI), said: "Looking at the data in general, there is a fairly large probability that a high percentage of the incidents are male on male attacks and most likely to be gang related. The numbers appear to be very high and suggest an increase, which is very concerning." " "Kwambe Ibegbuna, a social worker and community activist in Manchester, said acid attacks were becoming more common – not just among gangs but in cases of domestic violence and also for intimidation. "I've had people tell me they wanted to leave a mark, others say they were attacked because they rejected people's sexual advances. The stories vary greatly but the most consistent feature is to ensure the victim is traumatised greatly by the experience and that power has been exerted." " There is no suggestion at all that racism is an issue.

Subject: RE: BS: Terrorism you don't read about From: Jack Campin Date: 10 Jul 17 - 06:11 PM This is really shocking. From Dr Imran Awan on Twitter, reporting a breakdown of hospital admissions for acid attacks in London: The biggest age group of victims being those over 75, who accounted for 253 of the 925 total admissions in the last 10 years. Not very likely that's intra-gang fighting, is it? These attacks have succeeded in terrorizing everybody in East London who looks like UKIP's idea of a Muslim target. People are staying indoors because of it or keeping their car windows rolled up all the time while driving. |
Subject: RE: BS: Terrorism you don't read about From: Jack Campin Date: 10 Jul 17 - 12:05 PM Violent racists often have criminal backgrounds, move in criminal milieus and accordingly know how to use and get the same sort of weapons used by un-ideological criminals. It's always been that way. That Twitter search link just reported an attack in Newcastle. No suggestion of racist motivation, but every such attack anywhere makes it more likely that the local kippers will get ideas. |

Subject: RE: BS: Terrorism you don't read about From: bobad Date: 10 Jul 17 - 11:25 AM Acid throwing, also called an acid attack,[1] a vitriol attack or vitriolage, is a form of violent assault[2][3][4] defined as the act of throwing acid or a similarly corrosive substance onto the body of another "with the intention to disfigure, maim, torture, or kill".[5] Perpetrators of these attacks throw acid at their victims, usually at their faces, burning them, and damaging skin tissue, often exposing and sometimes dissolving the bones.[6] The most common types of acid used in these attacks are sulfuric and nitric acid. Hydrochloric acid is sometimes used, but is much less damaging.[7] The long term consequences of these attacks may include blindness, as well as permanent scarring of the face and body,[8][9][10] along with far-reaching social, psychological, and economic difficulties.[5] Today, acid attacks are reported in many parts of the world. Since the 1990s, Bangladesh has been reporting the highest number of attacks and highest incidence rates for women,[11][12] with 3,512 Bangladeshi people acid attacked between 1999 and 2013.[13] Although acid attacks occur all over the world, this type of violence is most common in South Asia.[14] Wikipedia |

The Twitter links I pointed out more than confirm the police's picture. There seems to be a subculture of kippers who, since the Brexit vote, have started getting their jollies by throwing acid at anyone who looks Muslim. The Met have taken down their profile of Tomlin - perhaps now they've got him they don't want to prejudice his trial. |

Even your claim that the Manchester murder was non-racist because it was gang-related is facile nonsense to defend racism "Gangs" are being formed in some ethnic communities to protect those communities from racist attacks from the outside - the facts that some of these gangs go to war with each other can be equally as racial as the can be criminal and territorial incidents.

Subject: RE: BS: Terrorism you don't read about From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 08 Jul 17 - 05:34 PM I do not believe, Keith, if people living in a luxury tower block who protested repeatedly about defects in fire safety could conceivably have had their views ignored and scorned by the owners of the building, and threatened with prosecution if they did not shut up protesting. Nor do I believe that specific requirements for fireproof materials identified by the architects, and approved by the planning authorities would have had those materials downgraded to save relatively small numbers. Nor are there any circumstances in which monied people with severe mobility problems could have been obliged to accept living 20 stories or more up in a building with one badly maintained fire staircase. |

Subject: RE: BS: Terrorism you don't read about From: Howard Jones Date: 07 Jul 17 - 10:15 AM These terms have legal meanings. Terrorism is defined by the Terrorism Act 2000 to mean where the use or threat of violence is "designed to influence the government or an international governmental organisation or to intimidate the public or a section of the public, and the use or threat is made for the purpose of advancing a political, religious racial or ideological cause." Hate crimes are defined as being motivated by hostility to certain protected characteristics, such as race, religion, sexual orientation or gender, or disability. |
Subject: RE: BS: Terrorism you don't read about From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 07 Jul 17 - 08:33 AM Grenfell tower was a tragedy which occurred as a consequence of actions taken and failing to be taken by those who owned the building and organised its refurbishment, and who disregarded the repeated attempts of residents to raise objections about safety issues. It appears clear that the fact that these residents were overwhelmingly poor was a major factor in why they were treated in this way, and why they were there in the first place (people with severe mobility problems placed in flats on the 20th storey, for example.) No, it wasn't "class war". That term is never used for actions in which poorer or marginalised people are treated badly. It is only used when they fight back. |
Subject: RE: BS: Terrorism you don't read about From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 07 Jul 17 - 07:25 AM Jack's link was to Canary, a far Left activist site.

It has been trying to present the Grenfell tragedy as some kind of manifestation of class war when it is not. We all need to be on our guard against lies and distortions intended to cause strife. |
