      The British state-run media organisation has been egregiously bad. Look at this shit. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cervv8rz8mzo

      An anti-immigration protest began peacefully outside Bolton Town Hall earlier, but within half an hour, about 300 people, who mostly had their faces covered with black face masks or balaclavas, charged towards the building. They began shouting "Allahu Akbar" - a phrase meaning God is greatest - as they arrived at one side of the town hall, where a separate group had gathered waving England flags.

      Meanwhile, here is footage of that event https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3QDnJeoYJM&t

        Lmao I bet the media will do more outrage over the God is Greatest chants over people being racially targeted even if they're not even from muslim majority countries.

          On reddit-logo , I saw people clutching their pearls at the chant and explaining that it is a terrorist rallying cry, and that even Wikipedia mentions the connection.
