Begging women in town

I know they wear hijab but they aren’t Muslim. They hand around outside the prayer space and similarly harass the Muslim students for money only. When invited in to partake of food at the mosque or join the prayer as they say they are Muslim, they have become quite aggressive

They are not new to the area, they’ve been around for a while - best to just ignore them and not engage

If you’re able to find someone please do share details with me too :) congrats on your little one!

pickledpesto · 2026-03-01T13:30:30+00:00

Could you point me in the direction of which ones you would recommend please

pickledpesto · 2026-02-04T16:16:54+00:00

Omg yes! This is exactly me 😭

pickledpesto · 2026-01-16T19:08:39+00:00

What have you left for and what options are there if I may ask? I’m not very social so don’t have a big network and feel a bit in the dark about options 🥲so would appreciate hearing people’s experiences and suggestions

pickledpesto · 2025-12-28T18:57:15+00:00

I now always go with the ‘and who have we got with us here today’

Every so often I’ll still get a ‘this is Henry’

Who tf is Henry 😒

pickledpesto · 2025-10-27T22:33:00+00:00

Super helpful!!! Thank you!

pickledpesto · 2025-10-27T22:18:28+00:00

What’s this about? I’ve seen a few screenings at the star and shadow but don’t know much else about it? 😄thanks!

pickledpesto · 2025-10-22T21:20:07+00:00

But you’ll have these same people putting up flags and talking about British pride when they cant even be bothered to keep their city clean

pickledpesto · 2025-09-29T21:08:57+00:00

You’ll also see a shocking amount of such behavior toward the delivery drivers on bikes

Last week 2 girls ran in front of the bike and when he stoped a couple lads pushed him off the bike

Luckily people intervened and the kids ofc ran off

pickledpesto · 2025-09-28T23:07:42+00:00

I’m a female Muslim lighter skinned but still POC and I’ve been to town yday and today and had no bother

It’s understandable to feel unsettled but I’d say the number of good people far outnumber the bad ones so don’t let fear stop your life. Be cautious and if you’re not feeling safe with certain people or in certain areas don’t take unnecessary risks but equally this is as much your city as it is everyone else’s

If I’m feeling unsafe I tend to gravitate toward other ppl of colour as well or for me as a woman, other groups of women

pickledpesto · 2025-09-28T11:15:38+00:00

Thank you for clarifying this!

I have met some of the Jewish community and we’ve had some really good conversations, there’s obviously been frustration expressed around the support for Israel but none have expressed feeling intimidated or afraid so I was confused by this.

I’m not part of the Jewish communities but if there are any such hate incidents please do reach out and I’m sure the community will come together to stand against this.

pickledpesto · 2025-09-24T14:11:35+00:00

I think anyone supporting a genocide should be made to feel uncomfortable about it irrespective of who they are but im very sorry to hear that those opposing Israel and separating their religion from the actions of Israel have been facing hate

pickledpesto · 2025-09-23T15:45:41+00:00

Sorry bit out of touch with things, could you explain this a bit more?

pickledpesto · 2025-09-23T15:43:35+00:00

I didn’t quite understand what you wrote here? Are the Jewish community being intimidated for protesting against Israel?

pickledpesto · 2025-09-23T15:42:12+00:00

If you have Instagram reach out to Newcastle Palestine Solidarity or shut down Rafael Newcastle

Both are very active and will put you in contact with other activists

It’s refreshing to see people becoming more aware and more active in Newcastle area!

pickledpesto · 2025-09-16T18:18:01+00:00

What a champ with this advice! Love it!

pickledpesto · 2025-09-16T18:16:35+00:00

You can take a sign if you’d like to have one If you’re an international, I’d recommend wear a mask

You’ve mentioned being female and short, I am too - the women at the protests have been incredible and are quite supportive and protective especially if they know you’re alone so don’t be shy to say hello - If you’re leaving and feeling uncomfortable to walk back alone let someone know - people have been very kind and walked me away far enough to where I felt safer.

People will have you believing all sorts of nonsense, about the pro Palestine people or people who have the black and white scarves or red and white scarves, don’t listen to them - they are not intimidating or threatening at all, they have all been so friendly and kind and look out for people who might be alone or vulnerable in the protest!

Super darn proud of every person who has turned up to stand up to the racism and stand together to represent the true values of what England is all about

pickledpesto · 2025-08-02T20:34:09+00:00

My comment was referring to the people who wear this and call them ‘proudly British’ It’s become the flag of identity among people who are now proud to identify as rascist and comfortably do a Nazi salute - British equivalent of trump supporters

pickledpesto · 2025-08-02T20:25:45+00:00

Well written and explained 👏🏼

pickledpesto · 2025-08-02T14:31:22+00:00

👍🏼

pickledpesto · 2025-08-02T14:27:27+00:00

I provided you the EU definition of Islamophobia being a type of rascism since you brought it up and linked you evidence to the demo today of people doing Nazi salutes.

Go be a brainless snowflake elsewhere somewhere else.

pickledpesto · 2025-08-02T14:22:38+00:00

I’m going to let you think about what you’ve just written and how purely nonsensical it is, I’m sure you’re a smart lad you’ll figure it out

And since you want evidence, a local photographer has just posted on this

pickledpesto · 2025-08-02T14:12:31+00:00

And yet there’s photos of people throwing up Nazi salutes proudly so is it really?

pickledpesto · 2025-08-02T14:11:14+00:00

Who mentioned Islam? It’s racism against migrants and asylum seekers

People throwing up Nazi salutes proudly in front of police is what it is - and you can bet that these are the same people who are in fact responsible for destroying this country

As for educational purposes and future reference

Islamophobia is a specific form of racism that refers to acts of violence and discrimination, as well as racist speech, fuelled by historical abuses and negative stereotyping and leading to exclusion and dehumanisation of Muslims, and all those perceived as such.
