Three nights of "unrest" in Windsor


Police patrol dairy after attack BBC News

When i clicked the link to read the story i was expecting to read about some minority or other causing bit of bother. The first line informs us that a dairy owned by a Muslim family had been petrol bombed. Oh, must be local racists having a go at muslims, I thought. It's in Windsor apparently. Not the first town you think of as a venue for a molotov cocktail party.

There were up to fifty "youths" involved in this so called "unrest". Three people have been arrested. The BBC informs us that it was the third night of unrest. I hadn't heard about the previous two nights, and by the size of the article it doesn't appear that they have bothered to write about it until now.


"Staff at the dairy told BBC News they have faced verbal abuse, their cars have been damaged and stones bricks and bottles thrown at the buildings."

As well as the Muslim owned dairy there's also an Islamic centre in the same complex. Whether this has any relevance to the story we do not yet know. I suspect it doesn't and It wouldn't surprise me if the journalist who wrote the article included that as a means to imply even further that Muslims have been targeted by white thugs.

There's no mention of a racist motive, though.
And the police are keeping tightlipped.


"Police officers said they cannot comment on the motive behind the unrest."

Something isn't right here!

This is one of those news stories that you think... something isn't right here, we're not getting a tenth of the story let alone half of it. Some dispute with the dairy is most likely behind it. The infomation (at present) is so sparse they might as well carry on like the previous two days and not bother reporting it at all. This looks to be yet another story that is written to create the impression that Muslins are all victims and the nasty white majority are evil racists.

It's just a gut feeling, but, I would judge that my first instinct (even before I read the page) is right and that "minorities" have been causing a bit of bother... again.
Berkshire is one of the counties which has seen a massive influx of immigrants and migrant workers in the last two years. Slough is a perfect example of an English town being "swamped" by immigrants. Coincidentally, part of Medina dairy is located in Slough.

I wonder if the dairy employs/employed cheap foreign labour?

My money is on migrant workers (or even muslims themselves) being behind the three nights of "unrest". We shall see... unless it all gets swept under the carpet. It's three quarters under the carpet as it is with the link to the story being so low in prominence.

Come on BBC (and the rest of the MSM), pull it out from under the carpet, Dysons weren't designed to go over speed bumps.
