Current Affairs London Protests

Nelson's Column! Oh no!

[Mutzo Nutzo]

That's what I don't get at all, how can you support the armed forces and what was achieved during the second world war in one breathe then give the nazi salute also?

You can’t. They are mindless idiots

 

[tsubaki]

This is really going to cause headaches for actual anti-fascists (not the imaginary antifa who have taken over the world apparently) - yes, turning up to a counter-demo and confronting them is actually opposing facism but no counter-demo has ever made the fascists look as ridiculous as this, or done as much damage to their cause.

We seem to have become much more polarised as a nation mate.

Divide and rule.

Agree, the worlds gone mad.
I imagine a lot of protestors are on furlough getting money off the government from gold reserves paid for by slavery all those years ago,
I can’t see them giving that back.

Didn't Gordon Brown flog all that gold years ago?

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

Didn't Gordon Brown flog all that gold years ago?

3 weeks after telling the world he would. Stroke of genius

 

[The binman chronicles]

The media don't help by making this the top sports story on the BBC:

Black football managers are given less time than white counterparts to turn poor form around, claims John Barnes.

The former Celtic, Jamaica and Tranmere boss told BBC Scotland he believes unconscious bias is commonplace.

The 56-year-old said: "Results get you sacked. For the vast majority of black managers, they will be sacked quicker than a failed white manager.

"There is no evidence. It's just a feeling that we get and the statistics will suggest that."

How long you get depends on a myriad of factors, starting with have you had success previously as a manager, what is the rapport between manager and players/fans and also with the chairman, the nature of the defeats/results, any other circumstances like a depleted squad. But obviously it must be bias due to colour and that is why they were hired in the first place.

What is that Square with Nelson's Column? I know it is not Albert Square.

Some poor soul could end up dead today.

That is actually true by the way - statistically black managers get less games than white managers, even when the white managers have a worse record than them.

Barnes is perhaps the worst person to make that argument though.
