Was getting up from watching TV last night to go to bed when all this shouting was going on outside. I quickly established that it was a drunk English yob (he had all the tell tale signs, was talking very loudly, had a near skinhead, wore an England football top). He was shouting at someone who was obviously not of British origin, blaming them for the London bombings. He was really laying into him saying it was his communities fault and he should do something about it.
I was starting to get worried that he was going to get violent or that the other guy would get pissed off and hit the Englishman. I stood and listened for a while just so if things got out of hand I could call the police or something. Thankfully the guy settled down, probably partly due to the other guys mates appearing. They then went on to talk about other rubbish as if they were mates.
It just really annoys me when people think that turning on people who are different is going to some how help things. I’m sure that part of the reason behind extremism is when they are discriminated against. So standing and blaming someone at random for the London bombings in a Rusholme street is really helpful. I would just like to congratulate our drunken friend for making me embarrassed to live in this country.
