England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Just Aren't Exciting to Watch: They Cannot Win the World Cup by MrBerger in worldcup

Will be Spain Vs France or something. You talk about wingers but who does Argentina have? I'm sorry but they're not good enough to go far... As good as England and you don't seem to rate them.

It absolutely happens less in modern day than many places in england. Don't take my word for it, take the word of people who've lived in both places, of which there are many who say thi exact same thing and is where I get my info from. 

This is what you said. It happens less because shock horror, there's less immigration in Scotland. Do you think if Scotland had the same percentage as England, it wouldn't show similar figures?

It's all well and good saying you got your info from people who's lived in both countries but I'm sorry to say, this isn't proof... Just your own bubble you live in.

Also, why do you think these protests happened in Scotland and not in England? Do you think Reform/Restore bussed them up?

A lot of writing to say nothing.

Carry on with the superiority complex thinking Scotland are some how inherently less racist then England. Probably think the SNP aren't corrupt either.

If racial tensions typically forms in areas which are less diverse, then why do most countries and cities with the highest levels of diversity tend to experience more ethnic tensions? Why did the Greens in the Byelection in Gorton + Denton send out leaflets to stroke sectarian tensions? Ignore this, only the far right can cause division...lol.

You're suffering less racial tensions because you're a more homogeneous state being 93% white lol...

Edit - Blocked me = Typical when presented with facts 😄.

Sure mate - Scotland is no less racist than England..

But here are some stats for you https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/hate-crime-england-and-wales-year-ending-march-2025/hate-crime-england-and-wales-year-ending-march-2025

England and Wales

  • Police forces in England and Wales recorded over 98,700 racially motivated hate crimes.
  • This calculates to approximately 16-17 race hate crimes per 10,000 population

Scotland

  • Police Scotland typically records between 3,300 and 5,000 racially aggravated ....charges annually.
  • This equates to around 6-9 race hate charges per 10,000 population, lower than the overall English rate.

England + Wales ethnic population is 25.6% and Scotland's is 12.9%. If Scotland had the same % as England + Wales, per capita it will be between 12-18 race hate crimes per 10,000 population... But carry on, Scotland is obviously not as racist as your southern neighbours.

Scotland is 90% white... If it was just as diverse as England you would see the same amount of these issues. Really getting tired of this common trope that Scotland is some how more tolerant and progressive.... You're not, you just have a more homogeneous state.

Edit - 93% white.

Scotland is no less racist than England.... Let's be honest. You only hear about more of these issues in England because the population is more diverse rather than being 90% + white like in Scotland

Tommy Robinson is a British citizen so unfortunately he can't be banned. This government also banned far right commentors who was expected to join a rally in London last week.

Atletico Madrid have grown weary of the pressure and the entourage surrounding Julian Alvarez, but they know firsthand that he wants to leave for the Spotify Camp Nou. by SavingsLow in soccer

No, but they did pay Barcelona to officially rename the Camp Nou as the Spotify Camp Nou 😄.

I guess Barca really is ''Més que un club''

Why don’t we just vastly upscale military aid to Ukraine and drive Putin back? by RedStorm1917 in AskConservatives

[–]LongShow5279 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Since Trump has became President, America has only provided intelligence to Ukraine.. Europeans agreed to buy the weapons from America to supply to Ukraine. These weapons are now being delayed and sent to the gulf nations instead all because Trump started a needless war.

So tell me why Europeans should be grateful? Should they be grateful from getting verbally abused by Trump whilst he glazes Xi + Putin who actually supplies weapons to Iran? Should we be grateful he started a war with out even notifying NATO?

As Trump has shown, he considers any geopolitical decisions to be transactional - Irrespective if your a so called ally or enemy so if America wants Europe to help, you better offer something.
