The man is right
It’s good this has not led to the outrage that the attack in Belfast produced.
This should be a matter for police and the law to deal with.
Muslim communities are rightly not screaming about this, and people demanding outrage in response are playing into the hands of white suprematists.

Everything in the end comes back to “if your country doesn’t serious and strong centre-right, your country is either in or heading for trouble” in my view.

Horrendous attack on the streets of Edinburgh.

My answer is that centre-right politicians used to have a dismissive view about the loss of manufacturing jobs, arguing that they were things of the past and the economy had to adjust. And now they very much do not make that argument. So you have manufacturing nostalgia across the political spectrum
Two people were injured close to a mosque and a man was later seen battering the door of a pizzeria as members of the public run away.
Quite how did we end up with European and North American politics dominated by unrealistic promises to bring back manufacturing jobs?
Just a huge failure to adjust to reality on so many levels.
