Not really.
Sounds like it's all kicking off. Lovely place.

Worked their for years. Don't miss the place.
For context
(try not to laugh at the police dog having a go at one of the other policemen's jackets...)
Bunch of other videos on Twitter (and elsewhere am sure), don't feel like reposting any more as most have quite inflammatory captions...
Obviously each side says the other side is causing the trouble, no idea what the full story is...
Some of the other videos look like pretty scary high tension situations for small numbers of police not in riot gear to be in though... Can't feel very safe at all.
Large-scale disorder breaks out in Leicester
Officers tried to hold back crowds amid tensions involving young men from sections of the Muslim and Hindu communities.

Interesting, the BBC was rather cryptic previously with vague reporting about some "men" fighting each other but otherwise leaving the reader in the dark as to what was going on, I see they've updated the articles now!
I noted that. They seemed to actually go out of their way to avoid saying who was responsible.

Yeah I was trying to work out who it was - the "community leaders" bit was a hint that it wasn't football thugs or whatever.

Just part and parcel of living in a multicultural country.
I've just come back from a Muslim country, not once did I see trouble, feel threatened or think to myself I'd rather be somewhere else.
All these people mentioned above are not representative of the millions of followers of Islam.
Stop fuelling the racist media fervour and see it for what it is, idiots and misguided outliers.

Looks more like a mini Holy War than a race war, just how many of these "misguided outliers" should we ignore to show our allegiance to political correctness? What's next, partition of our major cities to try and reduce the costs of policing their religious opponents?
That was a heck of a lot of misguided outliers

feeling so diverse right now
Ignore? No. But don't tar everyone of a race or religion or region with the same brush. And I use that phrase in its most ironic way.
Slap the offender's with proper justice but don't go round demonising everyone because of the actions of a few.
The lack of humane policing, education and job opportunities is why people in crappy areas get disenfranchised, so building a wall or ghetto is the worst idea ever. Like all our cities there are crapholes. Not everywhere in this country can be idyllic middle-England which is where I expect Mister Wilson resides.
I don't even know why I'm posting in here as the usual opinions will continue to float like turds to the top no matter the flushing from me.

I don't think they are fighting each other because they perceive their opponent lives in a better house than they do, or has access to better schools or has better job opportunities <LOL>

No no. He's declared that all these people are poor and stupid so they must be.
There's a bit of debate over the cause as apparently the march was planned beforehand.
