They are criminalised after they are turned away by the system, when there is very little opportunity for them to get work and have a fair chance of having a decent standard of living.

There is a massive underlying problem with social classes in this country and there are filthy rich people, who make money while they sleep, those who live off fortunes while they never lifted a finger and DO NOTHING to help Britain's in need, young people who want help, a chance or a job. Politicians dont realise

Very brave man to try and grab the scumbag, obviously he's going to get away when his friend comes and they're armed with rocks. If everyone brave enough to act like this man there would have been no problems back in August as they would have been outnumbered 1000/1

[TheRoGcLaN1]

What's the point it's there city

[MarcusCMarcellus]

The politicians who imported this trash into Britain - Blair, Brown, the EU leadership, deserve a fate much worse than Mussolini. What they have done is irrevocable. They are traitors at the deepest level, at a pre-political level.

[TheMrCalz]
