I went to Winson Green on Wednesday evening, it was sad but all was calm. No problems in the centre of town. @ anyone in the suburbs or West Brom / Walsall / Wolverhampton etc, could you update if there's any problems?

Is it not bad enough that we've got the likes of the EDL and BNP out there spreading their hatred and letting us all knw how much they hate us. We all need to stick together; black, white and asian. United We Stand, Divided we Fall.

Are people coming from specific areas like Handsworth and Lozells into town to cause trouble or are they from various places further away? If anyone has any details please keep me updated.

The state condoned fecklessness & erosion of the majority of this country's culture is at its worse in London. 40% of some boroughs are on benefits, trapped because any jobs would leave them less well off due in part to an influx of cheap labour, & they have been for 2 to 3 generations. No wonder then that some feel they can do what they want with no consequence & with no community cohesion locally or nationally this is in some ways the inevitable end result.

I suggest dont come back on here until your balls have dropped you silly little boy, keep your pathetic comments to yourself. @ Akeel firstly there are PLENTY of Asian & White people out there rioting and furthermore do not refer to my people as Niggers as I do not refer to your people as PAKIS and worse, but to be fair all your spelling mistakes lead me to believe you’re not a very intelligent man and I’m infact suprised that you even knew how to find this forum let alone post an ignorant RACIST comment and I can only assume that your family have never been subjected to racist abuse that must be why you feel you can freely ABUSE another race on a forum used by ALL race’s….
