'As a Foundation and a family, we are aware of a number of posts using images of Lee and his murder in a divisive way to fuel arguments against the Black Lives Matter protests.
'Lee proudly served his country to protect the rights and freedoms of all members of this great melting pot of a nation.
'Seeing his image used to cause hate of any kind especially for those exercising their freedoms in protest against this hurts.
'We find these posts extremely heartbreaking and distressing, and in complete opposition to what Lee stood for.'
'We ask you all to please stop using his image and memory in such posts as he was a lover of all of humanity.
'Every race, gender, creed, sexuality and colour.
'So seeing such use of his name harms not only his family but his legacy and memory.
'Our thoughts and support goes out to George Floyd's friends and family at this tragic time.
'We wish you all love and peace at this time.'
His family has complained several times about Far Right organisations trying to use his murder as part of their propaganda.

Sadly, too many of the utter loons pretend to be normal right-wingers when all they do is bring shame to the right-wing.

Anyone who continues to bring up Lee Rigby in response to any accusations of racism can just be shown to simply have no respect for him or his family, who don't want racist weirdos hijacking his memory. His name is mentioned more on this forum on the days around Stephen Lawrence's death than on his own.
The murderers are spending 45 years in jail, the justice system has dealt with the murderers as they should. There was no cover up, there was no hounding of Lee Rigby or trying to look into his past to see if he was a bad guy and therefore disposable. People who bring him up aren't seeking to enact any sort of structural change but just to talk **** about Muslims or black people |

What side are the ones exploiting Floydy and causing worldwide protests and riots that ignore covid-19 advice potentially putting 1000s at risk?
Can anyone agree that all political exploitation of such acts is wrong and should be condemned? |

No injera,
The country was shocked and saddened after Lee Rigby's murder. The whole country. |
|
By:
is Injera btw, another poster against government (or not) entities that abuse their power and/or engage in tyrannical behaviour that then supports police bashing up protesters
|
|
By:
here is why it is different to weirdos who just shout Lee Rigby every time a black man is killed
1) Justice was served in this instance, or as good as you deem a virtual life sentence 2) The protests have an end goal and that is to change the nature of policing and put an end to brutality, and you know this will help with the white people that get treated like **** by police too! 3) The activism isn't used as a knee jerk reaction when other things are called out 4) his family hasn't demanded anti-police brutality protestors or BLM stop using his name 5) the government or things ran by it doing things and covering it up are different two the average person doing a crime |

By:
are you pro police smashing up Gillet Jaunes and Hong Kong freedom fighters, Injera?
|

By:
there was plenty of "rioters" and "vandals" there, as the governments and police have said

By:
aaronh I don't want the response of anyone else I want YOUR response
Having to post quotes which read; the wise man bowed his head solemnly and spoke: "theres actually zero difference between good & bad things. you imbecile. you fcking moron" to simple yes or no questions because you can't answer without showing inherent bias is the act of a weak person who lacks honesty |

By:
Your are not making any sort of case Denzil,
The discussion is about a request from Lee Rigby's mother. Do you have anything to say about that? or do you just want to promote your ignorance and bigotry? Explain yourself a bit better please. |
