I have to say, scanning through this thread is brilliant. It's comedy gold.

Against my better judgement I watched that video. It claims to show the Alt Left (whatever that is) laughing at child abuse in Rotherham. It actually shows people at a meeting of some anti-racism group laughing at a remark the speaker makes about the Rotherham police and how unlikely she thinks they would be to be anxious about appearing racist.
Feel free to be outraged on behalf of the Rotherham police, but don't waste our time trying to pretend that's people laughing at child abuse.

Give the op some time.
I'm sure they'll think up a third thread where we'll all be shocked and suddenly agree with his/her opinion on just how exceptionally free the US really is... and how the rest of us are all living in chains, robbed of our freedoms due to our lack of guns and over-abundance of immigrant shariah overlords.

Yes, I can imagine it would be.

That's not how I think of the EU. More like it's continent of childless people who elect childless leaders to adopt/import pets from the third world in a strange new religious practice after abandoning Christianity.
Cowardly American athletes showing their solidarity with ISIS. You can't even get away from this garbage at sporting events nowadays. Life stinks!

Yeah, never mind context.
If only UK feigned as much indignation over little girls being raped as they do someone writing the word bacon, the country might be worth saving.

Pathetic. Just pathetic.

Yes, I think we've established that you're just randomly picking up "evidence" that is mostly misdescribed, selectively and misleadingly edited, or simply not what you claim it is, as this video was.

Obviously so subtle that only you could see it.

My brother lived in Preston until a few years ago, and I visited fairly regularly. You are talking utter bollocks.

"Claims of Muslim ‘no go’ areas in Preston ‘absolute tosh’ say police
The man in charge of Preston police has shot down claims there are Muslim areas of the city seen by officers as “off-limits”.
The Daily Mail has reported that a Lancashire Police officer said: “There are Muslim areas of Preston that, if we wish to patrol, we have to contact local Muslim community leaders to get their permission.”
These claims were then repeated on Sky News, where it was also said officers had to take their uniforms off before going home, because of the fear of attacks. But Chief Superintendent James Lee, South Division Commander for the force, said that the remarks were “absolute tosh”.
He said: “I’ve been here 10 years and this has never been the case. “I very much doubt the person quoted by the Daily Mail was a Lancashire police officer, because it’s just not true.
“The police have a fantastic relationship with the Muslim community in Preston and we will carry out our work in the area as and when we need to without any problems.” Regarding the uniform claims, Chf Sup Lee said: “It might be the case that some officers want to change before they go home, but it’s certainly not an official order.”
Ali Amla, the founder of Christian Muslim Encounters and Muslims Against Daesh, also slammed the claims as sensationalist and damaging to the city. He said: “This is absolutely absurd. I speak to different members of the constabulary on a regular basis and it’s not the case at all.
“I research radicalisation and I would be the first person to know if there was a problem or any ‘no go areas’. “It’s very damaging to have these things in the national media because it portrays Preston as a hot bed for terrorism when it isn’t.
“As this trickles through it will be picked up by the likes of the English Defence League and the North West Infidels who will think there’s a problem in Preston and want to come back. “We’ve been very lucky here that we’ve only had one EDL demo in 2010 and one this year from the North West Infidels and we don’t want them back. “We need to put the story straight - we have one of the most cohesive communities in Lancashire, and I’m very proud of that.”
Rachel Baines, chairman of Lancashire Police Federation, said: “My feelings are the same as the force on this, there are no such things as ‘no go’ areas for police, certainly in Preston. “I would like to know where this has come from, because I’ve had no officers contacting me with any concerns about it.”
She added: “As for the uniforms, that’s been advice since I joined the police 22 years ago. It’s about officer safety and people who are not happy about the law being enforced, but this is not specifically about the Muslim community.”
The Daily Mail was contacted for a comment, but did not respond."

I chose to believe Chief Superintendent Lee, Ms Baines, and Mr Amla over your anonymous "Lancashire Police officer," who is most likely the product of a London (a long way from Preston) journalist's imagination.
They said the same thing about Rotherham child rapes. If it weren't the British way to stick your head in the sand and cower in fear over thought of being called "racist," I'd be more inclined to believe you.
Like clockwork, it's "not about race" or "religion." This is so predictable. It's a shame to see this country has been so brainwashed.

No it doesn't, because the "short version" is a lie.
The police turned up en masse to subdue and arrest an attempted murder suspect, which they managed to do without killing him in less than 30 seconds. Within four minute the suspect and most of the cops had left the scene, leaving only a few amiably chatting with the locals. Maybe that's what offends you so much.
