The racists start spouting off at about 01:58.

" I am not racist" one moment and the "I am a racist" the next. I hope that these uneducated twits may not be typical, but something tells me that there are more them than you would think.

Deeply depressing IMHO.

Mikey, Brexit is not the cause, just an excuse.

There are always idiots about. One can guarantee some will align with good projects and embarrass those who support those same good projects for the right reasons. But it gives those who are anti the projects the chance to have a dig.

Danny...the BBC report was about the spike in hate crimes, after the Referendum.

How widespread do you think these racists really are in Britain ? I meet people like this nearly everyday.

Checked the video. Obviously depressing. But their view that it is ok to be violent towards individuals when their beef really is with a system that lets many immigrants come here. A ridiculous reaction on their part, but they probably haven't the ability to understand that, or at least not been education to see why it's wrong.

In fairness the guy was trying to say that he didn't consider himself racist generally, but only towards immigrants where he believed it was justified as he couldn't think of any other way to protest. Not that, that makes it any better.

But they would hold their warped views Brexit or no Brexit. If they use Brexit as an excuse then what was the alternative ? Should we have their activity a reason not to do what is right for the country, fearing that they may 'kick off' ?

They need rounding up and educating. But also their fear of what is happening to their society should be understood by the authorities. For every one taking unacceptable, violent action against innocent victims there will be very many feeling things aren't right. One isn't going to solve this by ignoring it, or simply being appalled by it.

Note the "source". Yep, Beep Beep See.
Trawling the streets, to push an agenda, by presenting the vain and ill educated as representative of the people who sensibly voted for freedom. Perhaps we need freedom from their controlling mindset too.
A programme that will "appeal" to the same small minded amongst us who hang on every twisted proclamation that they cook up.

MIkey, I don't doubt that since the referendum hate crimes have risen.All I am.saying is that rentamob are using it as an excuse.

[Old_Geezer]

educated

I can't be bothered to look at more errors. We need an edit facility.

Seems to be around Dudley and where you and members of your racist/xenophobic family live. Poles and black people around here are still fine.

[mikey4444]

Ruddy hell...Brains Trust is up and about I see !

I don't live in Dudley Talbot.

[-Talbot-]

Where does it say you live in Dudley?

"Poles and black people around here are still fine."

A strangely specific demographic.

"Hey Jakub...how you doing? Oh hello Carlton...see you down the pub later mate...oh look - here comes Sandeep, Vijay and Chan...go screw yourselves."

Keep well away from Dudley Mickey............There is a Zoo there you know. :))

[-Talbot-]

Perhaps I don't go around race baiting, sp?

(This is why I love AB...it's like living in The Matrix).

[douglas9401]

I feel like I've wandered into an episode of Citizen Khan, just as funny.

[-Talbot-]

Why would Sandeep, Vijay and Chan... be told to ''go screw yourselves."

?

As it happens there isn't any Sandeep's, Vijay's or Chan's that go in my local boozer hence I never mentioned them. There are plenty of Poles and black people however.

[-Talbot-]

Is there a reason why you and mikeyare acting thick today, sp?

[Togo]

Acting??
