sadly what many of those protesters really mean is"only black lives matter" as i seat most of these protesters are either on the dole or furloughed, simply any one protesting remove their furlough advantages and if they're on the dole they are unavailable to look for work so stop the dole money.black or white , implement these rules the streets would return to normal. anyone criminal damage give custodial sentences..

What a bizarre post.
|
|
By:
I would only ask that the police enforce the law and arrest anyone who damages any property.
To watch the police run away was embarrassing and even more so when their chief defends this with no comment on how they'll stop this happening in the future. |

Job done.
By people saying they will protect our monuments if the police and Mayors etc are not willing to do do that protection it has meant that all the key monuments have been protected. It is a better way than allowing potential violence between protectors and those intent on destroying British history. Well done to the Mayor for making this move for the good of our history. |
|
By:
So IT you are condoning violence?
|
|
By:
Absolutely not.
Hopefully the Mayor's move has prevented protestors attacking people trying to protect our monuments as those protectors should not be required. |
|
By:
Where do you stop with this nonsense.
A large %age of Edinburgh, Glasgow and most, if not all, towns and cities would have to go as they were funded by people involved directly or otherwise in the slave trade. It's just virtue signalling by the vast majority of the protesters. |

Would the other way around be acceptable? |

IT - I partly agree. It diffuses tension but is also a cowardly act. The statues are covered so he’s given what the vandals wanted: they are hidden from view.
When does Khan remove the hoarding?? I fear permanent concrete barriers as with many of our great historical sites. |
|
By:
Is anyone actually saying that? People like yourself are just making stuff up.
I never said anyone was saying it, you just made that up. I was asking where it stops. I noticed that people in Glasgow and Edinburgh, probably other places as well, were substituting street names. One of those 'attacked' was Penny Lane. |

At the very least you are being disingenuous. Nobody has ever mentioned destroying a city. You may well try and escalate what's going on but you're just making stuff up. Get real. |

I'll explain again Charlie I was merely asking where it stopped.
But I'll take it a step further then and ask why not? Do they want to destroy the statues because of the connection with the slave trade but keep the things that those they despise paid for? |
|
By:
... Or are you arguing in your own time?
|
|
By:
Yes. I'm off duty for a few minutes more.

The media absolutely taking the utter pish again
Somehow they've managed to spin this protest Inj is attending as some "far right" bringing down of Winston Churchills statue, again with the "far right" bs as well but that headline I've read on ITV implies they've boarded up the Churchill statue because of the "far right" protests You couldn't make it up, its high time something was done about the media ffs |
|
By:
Have the media like the BBC or such once mentioned the Far Left / Marxists / Communists in BLM?
|
|
By:
.. because I can assure you of this, given we had a mad left extremist on Talk Radio today who is a prominent BLM activist, talking about a revolution overthrowing capitalism to create a communist state, I doubt the likes of the BBC would fail to mention a guy organising a "statue protection" protest appearing on radio talking about a revolution to impose fascism on us. Just saying.
|
|
By:
.. but of course the BBC is right wing as they said a couple things Corbyn fans didn't like.
|
|
By:
All I'm saying is be careful whoever is attending, they will set you up big time if they've been orders
|

Little Tommy on a massive comedown and then realizing he's on bail how fick can you get..
|
|
By:
Tommy was never attending, he was putting his name on the event because he knew people would turn up
He's a piece of s*** that shouldn't be followed at the best of times |

Some black people are demanding the removal of Churchills statue now we know Churchills views and he is accused of inaction over a famine in India debatable what if anything he could have done. However in a bizarre twist of fate black have benefited the most from his actions.
Churchill was the only one who knew that Hitler could not be appeased and would always be a threat, every other member of the establishment wanted to deal with Hitler. Without ww2 no black faces would be in mainland Europe today at least not on equal terms. Without ww2 Britain would still have an empire and few if any immigrants from the empire would be living in the UK today. Without ww2 America would not have had the catalyst for change that allowed the civil rights movement to develop. All this is down to one stubborn awkward old man who most of his contemporaries considered a warmongering dinosaur |
