    Totally agree, TWM; whatever you might think of the issue.

    …And I don’t think much of it.

    Vigilantes taking the law in to their own hands encourages others to do the same about whatever they feel strongly about… And next time that might not be something this particular community wants.

    I feel refugees are badly treated in the UK and do sympathise, but this is not the answer.
    What about someone who takes the opposite view of these refugees? Is he more or less likely to take the law in to his own hands after seeing this happen?
    I fear for refugees safety now and particularly these refugees safety.

    Acquiescing by remaining silent only serves the oppressor

    Very good opinions but this topic should be in the lounge.

    I hadn’t seen this. Many thanks for bringing such a heartwarming story to my attention.

    It seems that, not for the first time, the rest of the country could learn a thing or two from the Scots.

    While the author of the tweet has every right to hold those views and express them it seems inappropriate to me for the tweet to be made from a TRF account as it implies that this is the consensus view of the entire forum.

    No speaks for me – EVER.

    In fact one of the most annoying phrases I ever read is: “I am sure I speak for everyone when I say….”

    “You never speak for me, pal” is my instant reaction.

    I don’t necessarily disagree with this tweet, but it would be more appropriate coming from a personal account.

    You are right. I’ll refrain from that sort of political stuff on the TRF social media platforms going forward.

    It takes a big man to take a critical point on board, especially when it’s on a platform he controls.

    Maximum respect to cormack15 for that response.

    To be fair Ian, I think it’s bloody obvious David was wrong and he had no option but to admit it and apologise.

    Thanks anyway.

    Despite my views on this, I agree this shouldn’t have come from the TRF site. Any individual
    airing it is fine, but not with the TRF as the originator.
