I doubt it mate. Tarquin and Rupert will be heading back to Uni? Besides there is a US election soon and they will forget about BLM and start a few Trump demos... And when that is finished the will be Eco freaks. BLM is just this months thing.
There’s a gaping chasm between flag wrapped plastic patriots who are nothing but race baiting fascists and the BLM movement. Only some are choosing to completely ignore the vast majority of the peaceful protestors and use a tiny minority of trouble making morons as an excuse to ignore the entire cause and create false equivalence.
Yeah the protestors are just some homogeneous blob of your construct. The reality is that the majority of those protesting will continue being black, in a society where 26% of the populous admits to having racist views. But there’s nothing to see here, move along and find the next cause, we’re eager to brush this one right under the rug.
Those trouble making morons at the extreme end of the BLM movement have done more to damage property and injure policemen recently than any fascist has. They're both as bad as each other.
I agree that the far left anarchists are damaging the message and their methods are wrong but something has to be done to address race in this country I just don't have faith in a PM and a government that uses casual racist language and that presided over the Windrush scandal.
They lobbed a statue of a slave trader in the drink, and put some graffiti on a handful of monuments. The former was a reaction to a local contentious issue that’d been going on for years, the latter being idiotic and works against their cause. If you want me to put up the far right demos in recent years that have resulted in violent clashes with police and multiple arrests then I can do but it’ll take a while..........so what I’m saying is basically that’s bollocks.
That's not an unreasonable view, but when you say race, I think you mean those of African/West Indian origin, because Asians, Chinese etc have moved up pretty well through the echelons of our society. Of the three main offices of government, two have Asian heritage. Genuine question - what do you think should be done to help African Brits?
You conveniently leave out the 29 police officers that were injured. You sound like an extremist to me, mate
I think it's more than the Tarquins - looked to me like there were a lot from Broadwater Farm and the equivalent.
I mean all races, The Asian and Chinese still live in the worst housing and areas in my city and I still have heard racist slurs about them on occasions.
You conveniently ignored the entire content of my post. You sound like a poorly disguised bigot to me, mate.
Sad'dick' Khan has just said that the 'BLM is a movement, it doesn't have organisers'. I would agree with this. So it makes me think when someone on here mentions 'organised groups'. Are they just tagging on to the BLM cause?
Can we stop calling people 'bigots'! I don't know any on our board. We just differ in our views... doesn't make us racists or bigots.
You should maybe look at the post I replied to. As someone decided to start throwing out completely unjustified and baseless labels, so I merely responded in kind. See how this works? Funny how you only chose to react to the latter whilst ignoring the former, and have started the predictable victimhood angle.
