Current Affairs London Protests

This is 100% my moral stance too

However I'm trying hard to balance that with my own contradictory view that anybody going out intent on causing violence or damage deserve what's coming to them

I think if a black lad, walked into the protest they had yesterday, clearly showing an anti-racist agenda he'd have been battered. It would have been wrong, but he'd have been battered and it would have been a stupid thing to do.

One bright point from yesterday the Liverpool march went off without any incident.

As it always was going to. If there had been no far right demo yesterday and BLM had demonstrated across the country again, no war memorials would have been damaged and probably no more statues either.

Christ, the replies to Theo Walcott's BLM tweet are discouraging.

I've not even read it and just gonna assume its "NO THEO IT'S ALL LIVES MATTER"

"Do white lives not matter Theo?" was the point I gave up.

For those willing to listen to both sides of the story (for there are always at least two), this right wing protestor puts across the argument more succinctly than any of his counterparts have done so far. I must say it is a compelling speech and well worth a listen.

Powerful words them.

Reminds me of the " i have a dream " speech

When I hear about all the gangs, knife crime, shootings etc I wonder if black lives really matter to black people.

Not to criticise Theo, but if anyones make a comment (however well informed, correct, sound or logical) on Twitter then chances are they are going to get the inhabitants of that cesspool expressing their loathsome opinions.

I am normally quite pro-liberty bu the evidence for Twitter being banned is surely overwhelming by now.

Which is the reason why I can't praise the BLM organisers highly enough for cancelling their March yesterday. It showed a level of maturity, common sense and responsibility that was sadly missing in all those that came out yesterday

Uh oh.

They just won't get it, sigh.

Christ alive

Christ alive

its the taking away of the opportunity to expose them that offends the most

at this rate they'll be generating names like OhTommyTommy1888 by next week
