A patriot who loves his country, doesn't destroy it .

Because most normal, thinking people can talk about wanting the immigration system sorted without behaving like thugs. I love living in a multi cultural country, but I'm also well aware the assylum system is broken, but I can talk about it without being a complete twonk!

They now realise that they could end up doing two or three years in prison and all of a sudden their outrage is dampened. Personal preservation has kicked in.

[AodhanBeag]

Like every bully ever, they brick themselves when the odds aren't massively in their favour. They quickly turn into cowards and crawl back under their rock and deny being involved

There are more decent people in the world. Always have been. But now they are letting their voices and decency be seen and heard.

Do you know the saddest thing is. My friend of colour was worried about walking through his home town. He is the nicest person you will meet.

[sheikhnasrullah]

No…… they saw their mates going to jail and their arses fell out 😂😂😂😂

Rioters - 500 people max
Peaceful British protesters - 100k (trafalgar)

There are millions who agree that migration needs to be dealt with better. Trying to shame or threaten people won't make a difference.

[johnking]

Its just the vile egging on the gullible.

[LukeWatkins-kb]

The vast majority of people protesting were peaceful!

[MuhammadAli-egvd]

Your right! There are far more Beautiful people who are united in this country then divided ❤🇬🇧💋❤️

The counter-protest was cool, but it was the 2-3 years with half the term served before parole that stopoed them. The issue is they thought Labour was a soft touch, but fogot that Kier was a chief prosecutor that knew the system and process of dealing with this in a week.

[CatherineWatson-ed]

Well said. They don't represent us.

[leeoliver]

Of course they're massively outnumbered by decent people, because the people rioting aren't decent people!! No decent person commits violence against their OWN people or indeed any innocent undeserving person (like police and ordinary residents as an example). But again we have to be careful of not lumping everyone together actually!! Some of the rioters ARE angry but are expressing it in the wrong way, but others are not angry and do not have a cause, they are just there for the fun of it. So even then, NOT ALL RIOTERS have the same reason for rioting.

[demo]

5 years in prison have stopped them 🐑🐑🐑.

[allenevangelista]

Those people have stopped because the football season has started. They can redirect their anger towards elite footballers who can do things they could never dream of doing themselves.

[peterjackson]

Have you noticed that Waterstones is never looted?

[Tricks]

The poor sector of the British public seem to be upset about their share of British imperialism not been big enough they want more of the pie.

[Angela-juij]

You have more angry people than you can count. We are just very peaceful .and stop calling the British people FAR RIGHT.

[andyhodchild]

NOT PATRIOTS. They are Nationalists.

French President Charles de Gaulle summed it up best when he said “patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism when hate for people other than your own comes first.”
