I may be a bit thick here, but what has this got to do with globalism?

More a Rashomon style narrative, where each party has a different story from a different perspective?

Oh global to the point that those involved are not wholly indigenous? We have discussed this before. There isn't a human being in this country who is wholly indigenous if go go back far enough.

Where is your start point? Perhaps the fall in sea level that allowed folk to walk across the new channel from the Continent. Anybody that followed those first settlers are immigrants and a product of globalism?

Maybe we should start with the Romans, or the Angles and Saxons, or the Norsemen, whether from Scandinavia or Normandy?

This is why I have a problem with Nationalism and xenophobia. How do you define the "nation" to which you are an "ist"? And who can claim to be with the angels?

BTW I believe in border controls, but people move. Thus, there are plenty who post on here who love this country but live elsewhere. Are they committing some wrong?

Although whatever was said it is pathetic a strong young adult should hit out at two old timers, it appears to me in the footage that the smaller Jewish man was firstly over interested in the black fellah as he walked towards them and it appears he was the one saying something. The police need to clarify exactly what this was about. It clearly wasn’t a mindless attack. The black fellah had gone by and based on the words then struck out.

It's always hard to know the ins and outs just from a clip, but whatever they said (if anything), it's still essentially an inexcusable attack on them.

Much like the idea that Conservatives are all gunning for Muslims, I find it very hard to believe that everyone in the Labour party is sat there enraged about Jews. In fact, I think you'd struggle to find a minority that people in this country hold less angry or negative views about. So to assume that someone attacking a couple of Jewish gentlemen is somehow as result of them supporting Lammy (unknown) due to his connection to Corbyn who some believe is anti semitic is possibly up there with the most bizarre things I've every heard.

Or perhaps you're not saying that at all. In which case David Lammy and what he does or doesn't believe has absolutely nothing to do with this. Ultimately you appear to be latching onto a deplorable attack and draining some kind of political mileage out of it.

He attacked the guy because he's an asshole not because he's black. The full extent of the law should be used to hold him accountable for his actions. The vast majority of black people aren't attacking people so this isn't fodder for an around about way claiming that certain people either shouldn't be here or should hold less ownership of the land or belonging when they do.

Realistically, decisions are made at the border of this island. If a country wants to close their border or anything along those lines, fine. Beyond that once you get the the point where children are born here, this land is their home and their personal contribution dictates their value or otherwise to society. With this guy that will likely get him locked up, and rightly so. I would imagine many if not most people here have non white friends, partners, that are as British as they are in any meaningful way. There is no other place they've never been to that they should toddle off to. Value your personal achievements, not a falsely perceived or default superiority over other demographics.
