Bill 1,788 Posted June 13, 2020 I do hope this is only a one off as it's bad enough having righties over exciting themselves about plots to blow up Baden-Powell's tourist attraction, being reminded of Churchill's past - and even more upsetting poor Mr Farage having a bus hired by LBC Staff to put over the message that he is no long welcome at the radio station Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kick it off 1,948 Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) The anti-BLM protest who have decided to "defend our monuments and statues" today, have just been throwing **** salutes in front of the Cenotaph and fighting with police.... Almost like they have a different agenda to defending statues and monuments. Love to hear the thoughts of some of our right wingers on here.

BroadstairsR 2,138 Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) 8 hours ago, Too Bad said: People should up on BLM philosophy before blindly endorsing the catchy slogan. Precisely, I studied it all in all it's venom in some detail yesterday evening. Beginning in the US it's aims are as disturbing as are those of the red-necked hard right. Extremes in one direction breed extremes in the other. I detest both in equal proportions. Already the smouldering BNP in the UK are lining up for a fight today. Throw in rentamob an the anarchic brigade and London could be chaos by the time this kicks off and the curfew will be as irrelevant as the lives of the vulnerable (cancer patients,diabetics, people with high blood pressure, the old and infirm...the list is endless) seem to have become. The peaceful protesters are being naive and their leaders will lose control as their good intentions are replaced by violence. It happened last week and before. Today could be worse. All this in the middle of a pandemic which has reportedly killed over 50,000 already and is still around waiting to pounce in full force again. Horrific.

Crafty Canary 495 Posted June 13, 2020 Clearly the hard right ‘defenders’ of statues and war memorials are using the BLM movement to seek violent conflict just as the hard left agitators did last week. Neither can be justified. For me the bigger picture is that all lives matter. We cannot change our history but certainly can learn from it. If our history is eradicated then we shall learn nothing. Slavery was part of our history as was being the first European nation to abolish it and using the Royal Navy to intercept slave ships. Bonded labour slavery is common in India and Pakistan and elsewhere but where are the protests about it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
