How many have they arrested so far?
You couldn't have got any clearer pics. I expect all the rhetoric was just a smokescreen and instead of hundreds we will be lucky to see double figures. |

Calling a couple of fantasists Nazis because they have certain views even think of themselves as been a Nazis is wrong.
The Nazis were a capable highly ideologically driven group who brought the world to the brink of destruction, thankfully they ceased to exist in the mid to late 40s. No one or no group as ever came close in terms of ability the Nazis stand alone |

By:
They like to throw around that term but as you say mac no group has that ability in today's world, the groups out there are controlled and bought for

Columbus, a 15th-century Italian explorer, is a deeply controversial figure in the United States and held responsible for paving the way for European exploration and colonization of the Americas.
They actually make that sound a bad thing? the piece of filth who wrote that wouldn't be here if it wasn't for "colonisation", do these people actually think before coming out with this guff? |

Its like they'd be prepared to cause a paradox, if these t*ats had a time machine they'd cause untold damage ffs

Bristol Mayor @MarvinJRees shares that a commission of historians and city placemakers will undertake research to understand Bristol’s true history and help educate discussions on our future. (1/2)https://bit.ly/2YmECsR

pretty ironic that all these statues related to slavery are being targeted when modern day economic slavery is alive and well...to paraphrase the famous quote, physical slaves require food & water, economic slaves provide food & water for themselves

Did every white person a hundred plus years ago hold views on race that are unacceptable by today's standards.
It appears that many of the Suffragettes who were are idolised only last year also held racist views. |

We are worse nowadays, we believe we're free in our own minds but are anything but Slavery will always exist, its just nowadays they've got people believing they chose it  |

A statue of a slave trader that was thrown into a harbour by anti-racism protestors has been retrieved from the water.
Bristol City Council said it needed to be removed from the water because the city had a "working harbour". The statue will be taken to a secure location before becoming a museum exhibit, the authority said. |

By:
It should be in a museum. It is a greT work of art. Now there is even more history involved. They can say how i5 was removed and thrown into the water and how this single act by the people of Bristol started a movement fir truth and education all over the World.
I am against the destruction and desecration of art and history. The statue of Jedward Couldon is a great asset in the teaching of how this great country came to be and it should be cherished. |

Good point
Riot Season is just over 6 weeks away. We need to get back to work or it will kick off for whatever reason. Mark Duggan was e e used by the Police in the August. Do you think the thugs, many of them were school kids at the afternoon riot shift gave a rats a*rse about the thug and parasite Mark Duggan. Did they even know who he was or care? Some wanted to attack the Police but I suggest most were just having fun on a hot summer day and if the Po Po stood back and let them do it, they did! |
