Current Affairs London Protests

[dead_soft]

I think the general opinion of many on here are that they are mainly white privileged people. So the short answer would be, not many.

I think it's hopefully the general opinion that the idea of a cowed majority is nonsense.

Supposedly The Mighty Boosh and The League of Gentlemen. I am unsure if Little Britain has also been pulled.

Hmmm that seems a bit silly also.

Where does one stop?

It’s typical Netflix though. They’re whole demographic is what young people on social media want to watch.

When we change the name of our country to Airstrip One?

 

[Kenshin]

Mate, it's much quicker to just right, 'I wish we had more racism on telly'

Why are white people determining what is offensive with this?

Why are white people the ones pulling statues down?

Why are white people pulling tv shows off their network from 3 decades ago?




Why aren't black people at the forefront of this?

 

[Kenshin]

If you love the film that much you can still watch it on other platforms.

Until you can't anymore.

That's where this ends up.

People on Twitter now claiming that sunbathing is racist somehow. End the world now please.

Wat.

have you got a tweet. Genuinely bemused.

I fear things are starting to get a bit out of control. The last thing we need, and the very last thing our police need, is mob rule taking over this weekend. The only thing that I believe can stop this now is if the anarchists stay away from the planned BLM demonstrations. I'm sure the organisers will be doing their best to ensure this but in reality it is going to be very difficult. Even then you wouldn't bet against the right wing thugs kicking things off if the demonstrations remained peaceful.

At this stage I really can't see any other outcome than extreme violence. It's very worrying and very sad. That it comes in the middle of a deadly pandemic just makes it worse.

Fingers crossed I'm wrong. I may just be feeling a bit melancholic today.

The reasons behind these protests sadly look like they could get lost if things spiral out of control mate.

Well the media seem more arsed about statues for one.

It is one of the main stories on the BBC.

It’s a tough one to be honest. I was never a fan of LoG (although went to the same uni as them so well aware of the source material) but I loved the mighty boosh.
The two characters in general are very close to the old minstrel acts which are very offensive.
I don’t think there is intent there but I can totally see why people may draw parallels.

Part of the problem in insisting your opinion is as valid as reality happens to be is that you come up with statements such as these.

We are all getting suffocated by this and I include myself in this!
We all have different views but I’m sure 99% of us are good good people regardless of what are political opinions are.

PEACE! X

But my opinion is valid and that's the problem you fail to see.

I'm not saying I'm right, I'm saying I'm not wrong. It's MY opinion.

You may agree or disagree but my opinion is no less valid to yours.

Also what reality is this that you speak?

Until you can't anymore.

That's where this ends up.

You can watch anything.

Banned films are still available online quite easily.

It’s valid, but it’s also wrong. We can all see the black people who are at the forefront of BLM. To not see them is remarkable.
