A lot of them were racists. Massive huge racists (you only had to look at their facebook profiles). Others were concerned residents many of whom were getting taken in by a lot of the spin put out by arseholes.I disagree,
They weren't tarring all foreigners as rapists. Having spoken to a couple of people who were at the march it was to raise awareness of the rise in incidents in the area which they felt weren't being reported in the media at that time.
As I posted on another thread, the Northumbria police website shows that there was a higher than average number of sexual and violent attacks in the area ( I admitted at then time I couldn't find any stats seperating the two crimes).
I find it quite insulting that you label all those people of Roker who marched as racists when they were just trying to raise awareness of a rise in a particularly vile crime.
Do you consider the local school racist for warning parents about the problem too?
