Current Affairs London Protests

That you’ve not understood or even acknowledged any of what people have been saying or trying to explain to you on here about this issue is, sadly, very telling.

Simple question - will all this increase or decrease race relations in the UK?

if the answer is decrease then great thanks for causing even more mindless violence at an already uneasy time ffs.

Hope Ken Dodd in Lime street station is safe.

Same here mate. He didn't do nothing wrong to anybody other than the taxman.

The intent is to stop glorifying their legacy by having a statue of them up. This does not equate to erasing them from history as this will still be taught.

But it's not glorifying their legacy - it's simply an acknowledgement of the stature they had in their own era.

It's not glorifying them now. It's simply a monument to their time and how they were perceived then.

It's like this:



The point of something like this isn't to glorify "war" itself, it's to simply acknowledge it happened. Tearing it down because "wars are bad" would be monumentally stupid.

Statues are basically mini-museums. It allows people to look at them, see a name plate and then if they want do independent research and learn from why it's there. It does nothing else.

For Edward Colston, it'd lead a lot of people here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Colston - where it says clearly he exploited slaves.

In the river now, brilliant.

A shame, it would have been more mobile than Schneiderlin and Siggurdsson in our midfield.

I’m part of the problem? Not you spouting Tommy Robinson-esque bile since these protests began about how “they’re racist to” and “white people have it just as hard” and “but but but grooming gangs” “nazis erased history just like them” just k’off mate, you’re speaking about a topic you clearly do not understand and clearly have not even tried to understand.

Whats the difference between an EDL thug marching around causing trouble and a thug going round causing trouble in the guise of a peaceful protest?

So basically if I believe my cause to be righteous enough it gives me the right to attack or damage who/what I want?

Stop comparing the EDL to what is happening here.

You’re coming across as someone who gets all his opinions off Facebook.

The purge of the comedians has begun, Stan Laurel and Eric Morcambe are next on the list.

Poor old Red Rum is who I’m worried about. Horses aren’t very popular at the moment.

Wow!! Let’s condone these bellends going round any city they like defacing and destroying statues and monuments!! And some here are ok with that!

There will never be a bigger divide in race because of all this because it’s being done all wrong. Expect race crime to go through the roof in the coming months, this is going to get really ugly indeed.

I just dont excuse violence - maybe you do but thats your cross to bear not mind.

When race relations are tarnished even more atleast you on the left can say it was worth it.

 

[Billy Dean]

To stop the celebration of the person, I think you are getting confused.

I don’t see why this is so difficult to understand

Good to see the Colston statue in Bristol pulled down today. An abomination that should've been removed years ago.

Exactly - more divide, more violence, more hatred.

But its sound apparently.

You are specifically focusing on a small minority of the protestors while ignoring any points about the validity of what they are protesting. You’re drawing equivalencies with the EDL and Black Lives Matter and I do not find that amusing or appropriate in any way, all you’ve done is damaged my hopes of a better, more equal future in reminding me that people with your mindset still exist en masse. Same goes for the people who have been liking all of your clever little alt right posts.
