Current Affairs London Protests

[Toast]

I always thought the cockneys who support teams like West Ham, Milwall, Spurs, Chelsea tend to be very pro-Brexit, no?

And wear Stone Island and all have bulldog tattoos ?

But people are born into a country as well...

But if you dont have an affinity with this country why not move if you are able to?

Everton make you fume but we all ultimately love them and are proud of our history/club/traditions.

For those that hate everything about the UK I dont see why they continue to live here.

Couldn't be that. Britain is only for the patriots and the completely uncritical.

If you don't completely love this country, no matter what the current state of it, then [Poor language removed] to Sweden commie

I'd love to move to Sweden.

Maybe not right this minute, but eventually!

I actually like the UK when it's not very patriotic. I think it's a nice trait to have.

Worst thing about this is the get out it gives racists (or the government, sAmerica thing) for any second wave of COVID. It will now be the young people’s fault rather than the VE Day gammons we had waltzing around our estates waving their bunting.

Possibly, they may be from the outskirts etc, like a lot of West Ham fans are from Essex way etc.

You don’t think what’s happened in Bristol is exactly why freedom of speech and democracy is great?

They’ve tried to get rid of that statue for years to no prevail, so took matters into their own hands. You’re talking about freedom of speech yet you’re wanting to shut down that same freedom of speech in regards to BLM.

What you’ve posted there is all well and good, but the reason we’re having these protests is because a lot of black people don’t live in the same country as a white man. It’s a completely different country they live in and people like you need to listen to them instead of shutting it down as some sort of leftie crusade.

When you say ‘they’, who do you mean ? White middle class students ? I may be wrong and I’m sure people will correct me, but I thought that every time someone has proposed getting rid of statues etc then the people have said to keep them......

 

[dead_soft]

So what’s your argument then?? Blacks getting killed by police? But you will dismiss whites getting killed?
The issue here is police brutality which is wrong, but I kind of get why they’re like that because everyone over there carry’s a gun so they’ve got to be more aggressive.

Not hard comprehension really, but sorry you can’t and good luck.

I cant imagine votes to keeping or erecting statues are very hot topics in every day life. It's a very niche thing. I mean where would I go to vote on what statues we should have in town etc? Can we get rid of that wall with Klopp's face on it?

I think, and again I may be wrong, but because ‘they’ wanted to get rid of it, it was put to a vote....Democracy eh.....

Haha, if only the prime culprits had taken their own advice a few years ago rather than agitating to leave the EU.

As I already said, democracy doesn't really exist. Not in the way we think it does.
