KatyPrismSpirit Posted August 11 Posted August 11 send these vile rioters to jail. This is literally a hatecrime 1
brraap Posted August 11 Posted August 11 The way he's most likely caring for their parents as this country loves to shove old people into care homes to get rid of them. And his taxes are going towards their pensions. Unlike these immoral rioters who scrounge benefits and can't be bothered to get jobs. They clearly have a lot of free time during the working week to organise these riots White supremacy is a stupid ideal, because these few white men that created the system (capitalism) will always need the working class. Regardless of race. That's what these working class white people are refusing to accept. They have cognitive dissonance, they think they should be benefiting from the system in the same way because those who created it look like them. And when they don't it turns into resentment, which turns into racism and anti-immigrant rhetoric. Immigration will always be a part of modern society. Because that's how the system works. When people retire, you need workers to replace them, to pay taxes and contribute to their pension - to allow them to stop working. UK public services are falling apart, yet these mega corporations have tripled in profits - despite the pandemic and Brexit??? Hmmm Israel mess ties into all of this too. The UK is sending billions in aid to Ukraine and Israel. The US stopped a major programme providing phones, tablets and wifi to the less fortunate which would have helped them find jobs and support their children in schools, because they don't have the funding. It only cost 7 billion. Meanwhile Israel is getting 10x that. What we all need to do, is band together and topple capitalism. Governments require huge overhauls and changes. Take Bangladesh as an example of people power. 2 1

Yes, out of spite and jealousy. Plus, it's been alleged on a Twitter room by Brendan that they're removing him from future shifts, claiming he's been sleeping on the job. She updated the GoFundMe page to this: Edited August 11 by LesFleur 1
Bosque Posted August 11 Posted August 11 I thought it was not allowed to change the beneficiary of a gofundme after the fact

She was supposed to give the money to him, but when it went way beyond what was expected...she decided she wanted the majority of the money to go to charity and some to his co-workers (including her I assume for setting up the GoFundMe). Apparently, this was the original post she made (her edited versions are in the OP) They're getting named and shamed on Twitter https://x.com/CarlosWavey/status/1822577398929571876 Edited August 11 by LesFleur 1

Take Bangladesh as an example of people power. Well said. This reminds me of my current position. Where most of us/are diverse individuals of different backgrounds. About a year ago an older white man started to work and things were going great. Until he started saying that he needs to "run background checks" of the African student workers as he believed they might " Not be qualified" to be working. For him to only find out that most of them were literally 4 or 5 degrees more qualified than he was. It triggered him immensely and he started to literally hunt down some of the best workers. He'd unfourtantly gotten his way and fired more than 3 people for absolutely made up reasons. And the terrible thing was that the companies were responding to every...little....made up complaint he'd made. When I spoke to the guys he'd fired they only said " It's OK brother he's white we'll just find another job, this happens all the time". I was furious. To top it off, all that man does during shifts was literally sit and chat for hours and go for countless "coffee breaks". It is astounding how racism works. What a government does overseas to countries, will still follow ethnic disadvantaged people even when they contribute back to the aggressor's economy. Racism and inequality has never been more alive and well. Just hidden now which is worse. 1
