The Maronite Christian Lebs are okay, piecefull and don’t usually live in the Bankstown area where the Muslim Lebs are.
A few years back, I went over to London when my kid was living there. Just before Covid. I popped in to see her. She had a new housemate. Early 20s. Aussie.
Usual crap smalltalk. She knew I used to live in Sydney. I asked her where she was from.
"Bondi"
"Very nice. Was nice when I lived in Sydney. Must be posh now."
It is and she was quite well-heeled... for an Aussie.
"Who do you barrack for in the footy?"
She didn't follow it, but said her dad was a big Bunnies fan.
I mentioned they'd just beaten Canterbury, with an aside that Bankstown, traditional home of the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, probably still wasn't very posh.
She steamed straight in:
"Bloody oath! Full of Bloody Lebos!"
I laughed.
"Are you allowed to call them that these days?"
"Bloody right we are! All my mates call them Bloody Lebos! Driving around in flash utes & pimpmobiles! Dickless bloody macho, sex-pest, wannabe-gangsta posers!"
She had a decent rant.
When I was there, in Paddo, at the southwestern end of Glenmore Road, "Bloody Lebos" were "a thing." They were criminals, but they were semi-civilised and generally had something approaching First World values. They were almost all from Beirut, maybe a few from Tripoli. All spoke good English. Most were nominally Christian. They didn't shoot each other very often.
This seems to have started to change at about that time, when civil war meant lots of Lebanese equivalents of Cletus the Slack-jawed Yokel / banjo-playing / "Squeal like a pig" types, from backward Muslim areas flooded into Australia.
Likely mainly into the Bankstown area.
I've not looked, but I assume "Lebanon" will have a team in this year's Rugby League World Cup, to be played in Australia. Assuming they do, none will have been born in Lebanon.
I just found it amusing that a fairly middle-class young Aussie would launch into a "Bloody Lebos!" tirade at so little prompting.
I doubt things are as bad in Sydney as they are in London, but I've deliberately never gone back to Sydney, just in case they are.
Which is 2.6 % of all councillors in the UK.There are approx 500 muslim councillors in UK
And apparently 12 of them are reform councillorsWhich is 2.6 % of all councillors in the UK.

I’d imagine so mate, that video is sickening!!! Just a pity no one has an iron bar…After the horrific attack in Belfast last night where the attacker apparently tied to behead a local I'm reading that there are going to be mass protests.
But reforms racist is it no’? It’s only racist right wing white thugs that vote for it, apparentlyAnd?
Its not a new phenomenon.
Black tory MPs& Councillors.
What’s really sickening is somebody just stood there filming itI’d imagine so mate, that video is sickening!!! Just a pity no one has an iron bar…

You know I've thought about this and what would I do?What’s really sickening is somebody just stood there filming it
I got the impression also that the person filming was the female. The blokes eventually got it together, after the boy hit him with a paddle(?)You know I've thought about this and what would I do?
Fair to say the 17 or 27 or 37, maybe even 47 year old me would probably jump in.
The nearly 70 year old me. By the time I ran up I'd be so out of breath I'd need a rest!
