I am not sure that is a great example, they sound like a real bunch of thugs. Did you see the guy wielding sticks spoiling for a fight? Absolutely no need for that sort of behaviour.

Yep no one should care to protect the areas they live and love, they should just let the anarchists descend to do whatever damage they want to ;)
 
Wait...why "white" scousers?

Because I hazard a guess the police getting into a physical confrontation with a group of white protesters will be much less news worthy on social media in the current climate than if it was with a group of BAME.

Lets not try to insinuate anything when you know full well papa lad
 
This crusade against statues started off as ridiculous and has now entered the surreal, the Irish prime minister is talking about removing a statue of an Irish freedom fighter who fought the British in 1916, why does this statue need to be removed, well because of his links with Germany and his attempts to secure weapons for the IRA from Germany to continue the war against the British and fight for a united Ireland, apparently this means he's a Nazi sympathiser and a racist, but you know what our leader is not talking about? He's not saying that statues around the UK commemorating the British leaders who took over Ireland and caused centuries of bloodshed should be removed, instead we'll remove one of the men who fought against that. And before anyone has a go, the IRA of that time was not the same as the organisation that people would be familiar with now.
 
Its authoritarian mate - if they dont like it put it to a vote and let democracy work.

Can you imagine a group of white scousers toppling the Thatcher statue and getting away with it?

Absolutely no chance.

Once you allow a group to destroy what they want its the beginning of the end of democracy.
You actually believe we have a democracy in the UK? Everybody gets what nobody wants...decisions are being made on the advice of an unelected, cavalier "adviser" and the tory government's real paymasters--billionaire landowners, tax haven advocates, and hedge fund shysters.

It's all depends on which side of the fence you are on, same with all the others.
Nelson Mandela, Churchill and etc. Its gone crazy.

Absolutely not.

Your point was perfectly valid and did not need the white part in there. I found it to be a really weird proviso to put in there.

You honestly think the police laying into a bunch of scousers (regardless of colour) for taking down a Thatcher statue would not be as newsworthy? There would be absolute uproar.

If people couldn't see this would descend into chaos then they need their head screwed on properly. And the worst thing is it's just the beginning.
 
Nothing more democratic than getting the army on the streets
A lot of army personnel and policeare sympathetic to the views of the EDL and far right...there will also be "plants" placed with the demonstrators to initiate "violent protests".
Powder keg.
