Wasn't this thread about a bunch of low life scum that robbed and kicked the hell out of a guy who was out trying
to earn a living doing his job?.

What those lads need is a good strong, god fearing, religion . One that teaches them right from wrong and keeps them on the straight and narrow.

Oh wait...

Quite. Innit.

Pretty sure that there is no religion that advocates or condones common street thuggery on innocent victims, so the 'oh wait' point about religion is a bit daft.

You’ve missed the point. Religion , in its primitive form,is used to keep people disciplined under the pretext that failure to toe a line would lead to a smiting from above. If those lads are disciplined enough to stick to , for example, Ramadan they should have the discipline not to go around beating up traffic wardens ( I trust there must be something along the lines of ‘love thy neighbour, in the Koran ? ). Religion has often help people who, without it, would have followed a one way path to jail,

So, no, the oh wait is not daft at all.

Well that escalated quickly

Victim of a kicking but his Ex missus is a victim of him.

“Unfortunately I didn't have the advantage of having a helmet on when the "victim" bashed me over the head while I was in a relationship with him... KARMA.
I have no sympathy for him

Hahaha ????"lucky to be alive"

I'm lucky to be alive after the physical and emotional abuse I received from him during our relationship, which I finally had the courage to leave last week.

Few wacks round the head and back/spine with a hair brush;
Spray in the face, eyes with air freshener;
Arm slammed in the door,
Black eye;
Pushed and shoved all over the flat;
Holes in doors from him trying to intimidate me;
Constant fat shaming And telling me I should stop eating
Locking me out the flat so I couldn't get ready for work

"Why don't you slit your wrist properly and die instead of attention seeking"
"None of your family want you or care about you"
Tried to kill myself twice and he said "why don't I do it properly for once"

Just a few of the things he did/said to me and I didn't have a helmet to protect me...

I'm sorry for the unpopular opinion but he DESERVED IT!”

Ouch!

Because somebody fought on our side doesn’t mean we are financially repsonsible for his grandchildren.

Don’t the patriots usually play the “you owe your life to people like that?” card.

I pay taxes to support all sorts of pricks, it’s part of living in a socially responsible democracy. If you don’t like it, your could always fk off somewhere else?

Some more cultural enrichment in Luton.

I'm sure it was just high jinx and petty japeing while they were waiting for their fried piri-piri chicken to be cooked.

Life is full of inherent disadvantages. No doubt many billions would kill to be as inherently disadvantaged as those who live in the UK.

I think that anybody born in the UK today can reach the highest levels of any profession, regardless of their background. Not everybody can achieve that outcome, but everyone has that opportunity.

Only in the same way that a one-legged man has the opportunity to win the 100m Gold at the Olympics. Theroretically he has the opportunity/capability, however he has certain in-built disadvantages.

You missed the most important part, what you would do to make things fairer!

The one-legged man does indeed have the same opportunity as everyone else. Though, he might find alternative careers less difficult. Regardless, if the one-legged man does push on with his sprinting career, he'll still be lapping the two-legged lazy gits sat at home

Opportunity for all to get into a nearby specialist school, selected by ability (Grammar, also technical).

There’s a big difference between an opportunity and a level playing field.

You're interested in equal outcomes rather than equal opportunities?

A level playing field gives people the opportunity to achieve equal outcomes. It doesn’t mean there will be an equal outcome.

It's pitifully easy to play to that crowd...just show a handful of incidents of race X being aholes and that's enough to label all of race X aholes.

I assume you have no idea how education works these days? Do you really think someone who is educated in say a st state school, where kids who try to study are mocked, who’s parents are uneducated, and who can’t afford the extra tuition which is the norm, has the same chance as someone who has educated parents, maybe mum or dad are at home full time, send kids to a private school where everyone wants learn and where after school tuition is the norm?

Yet more lovely casual racism.

Back to giving traffic wardens a kicking... was he just being robbed or did he do something to deserve a slap? The scooter theft looked a bit of an afterthought in the video.

They have exactly the same chance as everyone else, with or without those advantages.

Nobody has all avenues open to them. Some avenues were never open to you - I was never going to be a professional footballer no matter how good my upbringing was. Choices that you make close some avenues, and open others. Same goes for your genetics, wealth, education, aptitude for types of activity, etc.

Where you end up is far more dependent on your choices than your circumstances IMO.

given the FB posting earlier in the thread it does appear that there is more to this than met the eye

And imo it's the exact opposite. Sure you'll find the odd person rise from a council estate background to a position of power and wealth but it's the exception rather than the rule. Not one person that I still know of, that I went to school with (a bad school), has made much of their life. Don't get me wrong, they aren't all pushing trolleys, but then none of them a MDs pulling in 100k, or snoozing on the back bench in parliament.

I have also met lots of people like my bosses daughter who is thick as 2 short ones, has wasted opportunities that others would kill for, and has recently started work at a law firm in London. Not due to any 'right choices', simply because her father has influential friends.

There’s some contradiction in all that.

It’s not a level playing field and it’s totally naive to think it is. Ask the white working class boys why they don’t succeed against say middle class white boys. It’s not because they are born with thick or lazy genes.

Absolutely. It’s money thrown at them, followed by patronage. How many working class people know “MDs” that might give them a leg up?

Even if you make it to a professional firm, someone “different” is often not given the same opportunities to progress as “daddy’s angel”.
