Brickidiot is the funniest thing I’ve seen all year
I appreciate that in the duration of the vieo, the 5m x 2m target of the police line only gets hit by 5 bricks.. Three's 3 complete misses over the top, but Brickidiot takes 2 perfect shots in the head and crotch.
Surely too good for random chance?
But ernie you are missing the point here, the kind of person who likes the EDL, or goes on their marches, will think that yesterday was great and it might even give them a boost.
Be that as it may it does not contradict the point I am making ie the EDL are probably doing themselves irreparable damage.
Yes they are likely to be too thick to figure out that fighting and injuring police officers and smashing property won't win them over public opinion. Although more likely they don't even care.

Even racists hate racists. 😉

They're just like organised football hooligans, they thrive off this nonsense. They don't care and there is clearly a lot of morons who will simply replace the ones that do get prosecuted. I advise not holding your breath whilst the allure of the EDL to these racist idiots wanes
^^I suppose we now know what happened to the Star Wars Kid.
It's only watching that video in slow motion that I fully realised he had been hit by three bricks. First one to the chest, the second one to the back of the head, and the third one to the bollocks.
It's how he quickly moves his hand from the back of his head to his crotch that cracks me up - pure comedy
Of course, which is why I suggested that they are probably doing irreparable damage to the EDL in particular and the far-right cause generally. A point which you appear to challenge
Only in so far as anyone sufficiently invested in "the far right cause" will see this as a positive.
Elsewhere on the Internet a couple of days ago, someone was asking if anyone could take their dad to a Tommy Robinson rally in London. I offered to take him so long as I could leave him there. To wit the poster launched into a tirade about how his family were the Suicide Squad (I assume a reference to the Burnley football hooligans from the 1980s and not Harley Quinn) and that I should 'watch out.'
The people responsible for this shit and their hangers-on, they aren't ashamed, they're proud. Really stuck it to the ****s yesterday, that'll learn 'em with their coming over here and existing.
Shitehawks one and all.
Hopefully "brick meet nuts" guy has taking such a whack that his balls popped and he's unable to father any more children.
£10 says random brick guy is on Strictly, Celebrity BB, or similar.

Surely he's already been punished enough? 😉
dissonance
That or is was a cunning attempt to make the police line collapse.
Laughing?
Shame they couldn't see it as he was turned away from them.

Proof that there is a God and he hates racists.

In the face of whom?
Genuine question, I don't know where you're going with this. People who support the EDL will be cheering all the way, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a GoFundMe set up for Dick-A-Brick. The rest of the country already knew they were c**ts. Who is going to watch this footage and think "wow, I had them all wrong, I had no idea"?
Even if you're right, it'll change nothing. They'll just rise again under a different name. NF > BNP > EDL > [insert acronym here]. It's the same brand of neo-nazi thuggery that we grew up with in the 1970s who simply don't like brown people. If the name "leaked" had been Justin Smith, this riot wouldn't have happened.
just had to put my (half)sister on take a break
My half siblings (and I) are all Protestant NI, but i don't live there.. they seem more right wing in general over there for some reason... reposting protest organisation...... :S with no context it seems...

Whatever. Can’t be arsed having an argument off the back of this and you’re clearly looking for one.

“I was half expecting him to step on a rake on the way out”
I was surprised a man carrying a scaff plank past the scene didn't make a sudden 180 turn!
He does have blood on his hand from the headshot. So he must have been in alot of pain before the hole shot to the knackers.
Don't know if I feel any sympathy though tbh.
hoping that one of the twitter wags will put some 'to me, to you' sfx over that video
Social media. These people have always existed, but they had no real idea of realising how many people shared their views. Previously it was just their mates down the pub. Felt pretty isolated. Now they can see solidarity on social media and feel emboldened by it, fed lies by the right wing poster boys like Farage and Robinson.
Bollox.
How did we get here? Farage, mainly, and Cameron.
The far right has existed in the UK for donkey's years. During the war it was Mosley and his crew gathering crowds. Once the Windrush generation started landing it boiled down to simple racism - those people don't look like us, so let's blame them for everything that's wrong in our lives. And there were riots, people charging police, burning down buildings both in support of and fighting racism.
20 years ago Nick Griffin was still seen on TV, as the not-quite-acceptable-but-let's-show-him-anyway face of "alternative views". Then we stopped seeing him and his ilk for a while.
Then Farage started getting airtime, David Cameron decided the best way to avoid losing voters to Farage's (not actually electable) crew was to legitimise his views on immigration, racism and so on, and the rest is history. Overlay that on top of an economy and country that has been absolutely driven to the wall by the Tories over the last 14 years and we have a lot of people feeling much worse off than they were, with fewer opportunities than they had, seeing others getting richer and richer; being told that it's down to people "coming over here stealing what's yours".
To be clear, nobody has stolen NHS beds - the government just didn't invest in them. Nobody's stolen your job (unless you clean toilets for cash with no job protection), companies have just taken the money and given it to shareholders. And although events like this are absolutely shocking and appalling and horrendous to see, as we saw in Southport, it's less about immigrants than lunatics of any background/ colour/ beliefs.
But the people whose opportunities and feelings of agency have been taken away from them have been told for the last decade that it's OK - nay, right - to blame it all on immigrants, and that the best way to show their disapproval is take to the streets. Social media is a channel; but it's the Daily Hatemail, the Express, GB News, Farage, Yaxley-Lennon, Suella Braverman that have the recognition and voices to make this acceptable.
"We would appeal to anyone who has information or video footage of those involved in this shocking behaviour to come forward so we can identify and arrest those responsible. Anyone with information can DM @MerPolCC or contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
I suspect that his pain might not have concluded yet, well the nonphysical pain that is.
What I find particularly strange is how he simply stands there with bricks flying around, he must have been completely out of his head.
I have been in similar situations with missiles from protesters raining down, no way did I stroll around as if walking along a promenade on a sunny afternoon
Stupid is as stupid does...

The video clip of him earlier certainly suggests an element of substance abuse.

I work with and know quite a few lads who are EDL/Brexit supporting knackers (1 of them this morning was loving the riots in Southport because its finally started the 'race war' he's been wanting to happen for years) and they all get 100% of their information on anything and everything that happens in the world from Facebook, Twitter/X and YouTube. It definitely does reinforce the belief that they are doing what's right and they generally see anyone who watches and takes notice of actual journalism/mainstream news as deluded because 'they're all in it together and so are the politicians'. To say that social media and the echo chamber of lies it feeds to these idiots is not to blame is absolute bollox
"The video clip of him earlier certainly suggests an element of substance abuse."
I'd warrant a guess that he wasn't the only one & follow it up with a second guess for good measure that the drug of choice was most likely coke. It's fing everywhere.

Nah. The epitome of FAFO when you surround yourself with idiots.
It's why we used to rag bods on ranges when they ND'd. You know the score. 😉
“I was half expecting him to step on a rake on the way out”

I expected a piano to fall from a great height and smack him on the head.
Brickman surely would be the foundation for a Monty Python animation with said dropping pianos, plank swings and finally the foot of god completing his downfall?
So upsetting that on top of what is a horrifying crime that such a group can seek to make benefit from the situation - and I don't just mean the rioters.
That bloke likes the English Bond.
😉
Flemish next.
He’ll probably claim they were frogged bricks
I mentioned the story in passing to my wife who immediately referred to the nationality of the perpetrator and said it had been confirmed by the BBC?
I don't really want to add to the speculation but given that she has spent the day hanging out with her Daily Mail reading parents I'm curious as to the provenance of her 'facts'...

I was quite disappointed not to see the use of a pair of Acme rocket powered roller skates
I've decided. The #brickman could also be improved by the substitution of the current oaf for Mr Farage.
A milkshake as a finale would have been the chef’s kiss.

Well yeh… I'm pretty sure it’s been reported all along he was from Cardiff, so British. Whats your wife’s understanding?
curious as to the provenance of her ‘facts’
Where his parents migrated from has been confirmed, that's all. His nationality could be British if they have settled status.
Haha, the Daily Mail have named brick-in-the-bollocks man!
can’t view mail online, but I’m all for plastering his name (and place of work) everywhere
Where his parents migrated from has been confirmed,
Has it....... I thought they refused to confirm everything beyond that he was born in the UK? It seems strange as they won't even confirm his name
Edit: Oh and his age obviously
Edit 2 : I understood that the Rwanda claim came from neighbours?
Haha, the Daily Mail have named brick-in-the-bollocks man
I bet his two kids are looking forward to going back to school
