  8. Darlington resident here, there was no riots and no protests here. This was a bunch of kids causing trouble, pretty common here. Usually the police don't bother to come out, when they do they say they can't do anything about it. At least people know in future all they need to do is say the far right are rioting, then the police will actually act.

  12. I bet this guy and many others like him don’t even have a job. No job, no life.

    I bet some of them complain about the minimum wage, and want the high paying jobs without any qualifications or skills.
