Oh come on. Saying that the complaints of some fat cat lobbyist with vested personal interest against something is the EU crushing environmentalism is like saying that the US government is afraid of knocking over Pacific islands by overloading them with troops because of that one congressmans psychotic break.
If I knew what you were talking about with that congressman I'd probably disagree
I mean it's depressing that actual progress, not lets-import-dissatisfied-foreign-youths-from-dangerous-backgrounds and-all-look-shocked-when-they-stab-someone 'progress' is being complained about, but that ain't the big nasty EUs fault.
Like 90% of what you say I agree with / approve of because you're a proper cynical Brit , but then you come out with trash like this
oy bruv thats not banta u gotta go 2 jail m8
O.o
Geeze, and you know how bad things are here in the US.....
Yeah and you just accepted unsourced tales as fact, that's something the European Union would do
Witnesses claimed teenage boys, some wearing school uniform, were involved in an altercation with pupils from a rival school.
Violence flared in Northumberland Heath near Erith yesterday evening, with witnesses claiming scores of youths, some armed with knives and bats, took part in a mass brawl.
Shocking footage emerged from the fighting, appearing to show children in school uniform beating each other with sticks while a woman tried to stop them.
Today, police said the trouble, which affected five different areas and saw two teens aged 15 and 19 injured, may have started in the Bexley Broadway shopping area at 4.30pm.
Seven people aged from 15 to 21 have been arrested over the violence, which police confirmed involved “more than 100 youths”.
Police were called to "a large fight" in Northumberland Heath in Erith, south-east London, at about 17:40 BST on Monday.
Witnesses said baseball bats and concrete blocks had been used as weapons during the brawl.
Seven people, aged between 15 and 21, have been arrested, police said.
The injuries suffered by the two people in hospital, aged 15 and 19, are not life threatening, the Met spokesperson added.
'Like a battle zone'
More than 100 youths, some of whom were in school uniform, were involved in the fight which took place near the Duchess of Kent pub.
Witnesses said the numbers of people involved - including children as young as 11 - grew during the afternoon.
Footage posted online showed people being kicked and hit with sticks and poles.
Rachael Brunt described Northumberland Heath as "a battle zone with debris of bats and table legs on the grass".
She said there was a "mixture of boys and girls" involved who "started beating a lad to the ground, bashing him with lumps of wood."
Shane Newman, who works in a local betting shop, said he saw "several black youths" who "looked to be around 13 to 16 years old... running up and down the street".
Owen Jeavons, 23, said there had been tension between students at local schools when he was a teenager but called the brawl "something new".
"I have never seen anything like it. It's such a quiet, peaceful place", he said.
Jeanne Asquith wrote on Facebook: "Never seen anything like it and I've lived here eight years... I just just hope the schools deal with those involved. Most were wearing school uniform."

I've heard it all started with a smaller fight that happened days before this one, that prompted a revenge that escalated into this big mess cos social media organization and all that (keep in mind, rumours)
School tensions is serious business, in my local area for example it's still in my living memory when Peckham and Bermondsey boys fighting/attacking students of the other school warranted police deployment. Plus lol, I remember when I went to school, there was strict control on which boys crossed which bridges, and bloody hell it was pain wearing a red uniform next to a school who wore blue x
D
Scale of this is different, this big stuff doesn't really happen, so I wonder what did go on. Find it bloody hilarious though, school kids fight and then unsourced media turns it into racewar
Also in top news:
“I read the condemnation of the EU against me. I will tell them: ‘Fuck you. You’re doing it in atonement for your sins,’” he said late Tuesday, referring to alleged crimes committed by Europeans in the past.
“And then the EU has the gall to condemn me,” he said, flashing a raised middle finger as he spoke in front of local officials in Davao.

Lmao that WSJ damage control
Yeah I wonder what """"alleged"""" sins Germany's committed in the past
Mr. Duterte singled out France and the U.K. for joining the U.S. in attacking countries in the Middle East in recent years and said history books were littered with examples of atrocities committed by Europeans.
Lmao the absolute madman's even gone after the blood god
I fucking love it, all these years of yuros merking their history has paid off
“The European Union and the Philippines enjoy good relations, and we will continue to discuss this issue, among many others, in our bilateral contacts and with the authorities,” the EU said in a statement.
Poker face on point
Turkey to EU: No refugee deal without visa-free travel
FM Cavusoglu says unless Turks are granted visa-free EU travel by October, deal to stem the flow of refugees is off.
Turkey is incensed by what it sees as an insensitive response from Western allies to the attempted putsch, in which 240 people were killed.
Long wary of Turkey's ambitions to join the EU, some European countries have expressed concern over a huge number of arrests since the coup, implying President Tayyip Erdogan is using it to quash dissent.
The unease has also hurt relations between Turkey and Austria and Sweden, with Ankara summoning diplomats from both countries to protest against what it says are false reports about changes to its child abuse laws.
Bless Sweden, ever since they whipped their own over Saudi Arabia, they've been growing a real spine recently
