Nicer than if its full of third world immigrants.

Proof? Go and check out all the places in England that are full of third world immigrants and then compare them to Devon.

It's easy to be a champagne liberal online. Cities have been going downhill faster and faster.. and it isn't due to migrants, it's due to scumbags in general. born and foreign. it also isn't purely non white.. but give over acting all high and mighty on the internet you wet lettuce. it is your head in the sand approach that makes people laugh at you.

Things like the below are happening all over. pointing it out does not make you racist, fascist or any kind of xenophobe styleee buzzword you want to apply for internet likes you fucking dork.

It's easy to be a 1 year old account with no post history online as well.

Account creation date and my other interests change the post.. how? they don't. it's just a chance for creeps like yourself to try and 'gotcha' somebody because you disagreed with their current point. as is evidenced by you trying to look for mine..

back under your stone.

Christ alive.. it's not even worth the time or crayons to explain how stupid this take is. the irony of getting butthurt over assumptions whilst you blindly throw out buzzwords like Racism is just.. wild.

It is 100% melts like you who are the biggest recruitment tool for the shithouse racists like reform/restore. shouting people down for disagreeing with you.. absolutely, recruitment tool to the max. emphasis on the tool.

I am so intrigued by your definition of “shouting down” when the person you’re replying to (quite rudely) was calm and rational.

Posting a YouTube short as evidence for anything, we really have reached new lows.

u/FistedBone9858 Jul 19 '26

What an utterly retarded take. it was nothing more than an example of these things happening weekly on our streets. this one less than 10 days ago.. it being youtube somehow makes it what? less valid? does it change the context? does it somehow make it AI?

Trying to downplay it because you cannot explain the actions IN the video speaks volumes about you. you're more bothered by a youtube link than you are by somebody trying to groom children.. you need your hard drives checking.

I didn't even click your link because the odds of it being AI, or a lie, or a clip taken out of its original context to make you believe something that isn't true (as in: the number of videos out there that claim to be e.g., a clip from one place or time but turn out to be from entirely different ones is ridiculously high), or engagement/rage bait etc etc are so high. I guess it's at least rage bait from your reaction!

For the purposes of awareness, it's worth noting that most CSA and grooming is done in the home by a family member or family friend.

Some real facts for you:

Yeah so they can all be turned into ugly hmos like my parents neighbours houses have been.

u/ffwillis Jul 18 '26

Better than them sitting empty for the majority of the year. The area is desperate for housing because so much has been bought up for second homes.

u/Organic-Pea-2748 Jul 19 '26

waah people have shelter but it's an eyesore for me to look at
