I’m confused. Yesterday’s and last weekend’s violent protests were both disgusting.

Maybe last week they believed it would be peaceful and took a softer approach, this week they’ve learnt their lesson, took no chances and probably learnt through intelligence gathering that some were coming for trouble and prepared themselves.

Surely for the safety of the Officers they are better off being over cautious.

I agree, from the BBC :


But, according to the BBC, yesterday’s “violent London protests” resulted in 6 police officers being injured, while last weekend’s “largely peaceful protests” left 27 police officers injured. ??‍

It going to need some serious work to calm all this done, I've seen several tweets where it looks like football grounds are.going to become the breeding ground for the hard right again. I suspect the decision to have BLM on the shirts is all that good an idea, just as well the crowds won't be there....

An emotive subject. Please let's keep things civil, or, we may need to close the thread for a spell to allow a bit of cooling off time.

Thanks

You asked why the difference in Policing?

Last week was an utter disgrace that the Police were obviously unprepared for!

Why more injuries? Last week they weren’t wearing protective Riot Gear.

This really isn’t a game of one upmanship, violence on all sides and extremism is wrong, it is only you posting from one side though.

As an example, won’t answer him direct as I get false accusations thrown at me, what is the point of post No #841? Who is the guy in the link? What is the point the poster trying to make with that link? No comment added, no context to it?

He's a right-wing political blogger, he also claims BLM are commies.

I read it that your typical bald tattooed racist scum bag hasn't a clue about the history.

I didn't read it as though he was saying bald/tattooed makes you a racist scum bag....

I was talking about the picture that the quote was directed at.
He has no tattoos and a hat on but he is white so one out of three isn’t bad.!
What he’s doing is disgusting and he deserves everything he gets if they catch him.
But if you are going to call people white, tattooed and bald racists at least use a photo where all these things are there.
This really is getting out of hand and is just an excuse for violence from sections of both sides.

Fair enough.
I'll give him his dues today as David Lammy gave a well balanced interview today, something I thought I'd never hear, let's hope others take his lead.

Firstly, since when does wearing a hat stop someome being bald?

2nd, he didn't say all white, bald, tattoed people are racists. He said all the white tattooed racists are sum.

As to the discussion, you've seen one photo and thought the whole convo was about that pic. He'd also mentioned typical footy thugs and how it's the same people.

It was a fair description of the type of people out en mass yesterday. But I'm not gonna spend time arguing semantics as that's not really the point of this thread.

Yes they did...at first I thought they had played a blinder, kept out of trouble whilst a bunch of pi**ed up “wlm” clashed with the police. Sadly it didn’t last and they started targeting individuals, I’ve seen on the internet a guy beaten to a pulp with his eye popped out and another guy have his throat slit. (Lots of witnesses and footage so hopefully arrests will be made)
It's clear that both the blm and veterans protecting the statues got hijacked. (I felt particularly sorry for the old boy with medals on who was clearly there out of respect for Churchill.)

I fear that we're heading towards a race war. There are clearly massively racist people on both sides.

It's going to take quite a bit of common sense for those in the middle to diffuse it.

Mmmm, I think the massive racists tend to be on one side, that's the point.

 

[spongebob59]

Some.good news and I hope something we can agree on, the pillock photographed urinating on the memorial to Pc Palmer has been arrested. ??

See that sort of blinkered view is why it’s hard to debate racism in this country.

I heard he walked in too the police.

It is really easy to see how the subject can be distorted. Just look at this thread!

BOTH groups have a significant number who are not interested in debate.

The media seem determined to try to make it sensationalist and one-sided.

I note that ITV are reported to be looking to recruit a black presenter for the morning show.

While l understand their aims is it not unlawful?

It dosnt but it stops you seeing so only guessing.
All I’m saying if your going to call someone the things in the post at least use a photo that shows those things.
Do you really think I have only seen one photo , really.
He’s given himself up apparently so they should deal with him .

 

[Doon frae Troon]

From the picture, I think it's possible he's so thick he didn't actually realise what he was doing.

That was my first thought but I was not brave enough to post it.

If he/she replaces Piers Moron, who cares about the legality?

I believe this is from yesterday, saw it in the Telegraph. Shows not everybody is mental.



Perhaps also illustrates there's more nuance to this than some people are prepared to concede.

No doubt so knob will state that the black guy is kidnapping the white guy!

Now hoping the one from last week shows some sense and hands himself in.

Yeah looked like someone going for a leak in the corner , not the most hygenic thing to do in the middle of a pandemic in the middle of London but probably not in all honesty someone trying to desecrate a memorial stone.
