Yes - you're right - let me correct this - it's slightly mixed together. It was Garth Crooks who was the receiver of racist chants (as a black) playing for Spurs but at away games. And it was Spurs' fans in 1997 that suffered racist chants (anti-Jewish) by visiting fans (Tottenham and nearby areas have concentrations of London's small Jewish population). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_association_football
My mind is not for rent to any God or Government, There's no hope for your discontent - the changes are permanent!
Tottenham fans certainly love reminding Man Utd fans about Munich. They don't take it well when they get "gas the jews" chants back though.
Oh and apparently Emmanuel Adebayor's mother was a prostitute and his dad washed elephants.
I do remember some cub reporter sent to do a story on racism in football by covering a Millwall game a few years ago, and writing a story saying that the Millwall fans were obviously Nazi, because they were raising their arms and going "Seig Heil!".
Someone had to explain to the twerp that they were actually playing Brighton & Hove Albion, and the chants were in fact that of "Seagulls! Seagulls!".
ha ha!
Many parts of the UK are no go areas for policing, PC dictates that these areas are left alone. Ordinary working people have to live and work in them, but the law of the land stops at the border. The police are in a lose lose situation, if they act they are picking on the blacks, if thay stay away the crime spirals. The Government has to say that the rule of law applies to all, not just the white people. Jim
It's a good thing you've got over 4 million cameras there. They really do a lot of good.
So how does Victoria like it again? That was pretty nasty..

I was born in edmonton, But grew up in islington. My family owned a few gyms in tottenham, one very close to where this all took place.
10 years ago I was going out partying in tottenham and felt relatively safe, that changed very quickly.
I don't know if any of you guys have lived around there but the opera house and aztec lounge used to be a good night out (clubs).
Then it all got very dark very quickly with all these wanna be gangsters moving in. They called themsevles the Man Dem Crew. Apparently this guy that got shot was associated.
Here is some info on the gang https://sites.google.com/site/london...ndem-northstar
I haven't been there for 8 years now, and my family have sold all but 1 of the gyms. It's become a very nasty place.
Britan isn't the country of our fathers, it's become a mongrel nation of often intolerant cultures that have little to zero respect for British culture British law or their fellow man, these rioters are just such people and if the police aren't equipped to deal with them, which they obviously aren't, then the army needs to be brought into play, saying that we're no better than these other countries you mention doesn't mean anything as we obviously have different standards of acceptability and a better trained army that would be deployed with a stricter code of conduct than what would be the case in these countries. I'm not advocating shooting people for the slightest of infractions but a stronger form of law enforcement at a time when it's blatantly required, if however certain rioters want to loose off a few rounds because that's the way its done in back in their old country then sure take the fuckers out.Originally Posted by English Noodles
A lot of the people living in the area last night would have been terrified, in fear of their and their families lives and these people need and deserve protecting from the mob intent on violence and destruction. You can't forget that a lot of the rioters are armed, the culture is a gun culture and thats unacceptable in a country where the police are often unarmed.
Look on the bright side of it,any caught and charged,will be dealt sever sentences.
Warm dry accommodation,running hot water on suite toilet,3 hot meals a day.
Access to a gym,sky tv,pool tables,play stations,drugs alcohol.
All paid for by us idiots that work for a living.
It has to be said, you really are a first class arsehole.Originally Posted by who

I have heard people talk of this 'British culture' and how the immigrants don't respect it quite often since being back in the UK. I can't quite put my finger on what is actually meant by the term 'British culture', would you care to enlighten me, as everyone who I have asked to explain what 'British culture' is to me has so far been unable to do so.Originally Posted by Stinky
A difficult one as Britain in so much cultural transition and at such a fast pace.Originally Posted by English Noodles
As I've already said...
So how do I define British culture?? Buck house, the Oxford Cambridge boat race, stiff upper lip, tea and scones, back the underdog, dogging on Sunday night, Football, Wimbledon, sense of fair play, Church of England, Lords, taking the piss out of Aussies , chugging a yard of real ale....

Ask a thousand people and you'll get a thousand different answers.
I think what went on in Jew central last night probably had more in common with modern British culture than anything you mentioned above.Originally Posted by Stinky
It's kicking off in Enfield now by all accounts !
Cheers
