Protesters

If only the folk doing the protesting had enough reserve to save it for when it was appropriate then we’d have come even further.

 

Yes, which is why camera vans were invented

 

But the death had happened. Do people need to wait for the next one, two, three just because of the time it happened?

 

I think when the Covid outbreak is done there will be more demonstrations. This time about the death toll re: care homes, BAME, NHS and carer deaths. The scientists are starting to voice their concerns publicly, the government more entrenched. Hancock was rattled yesterday, during interviews when asked about SAGE speaking out, his response was short, moody and his confident smile was more forced than usual.

 

That’s cleared it up then,,, the police role is to let the mob do what they want, let them endanger the public if they want, then because they don’t have the staff to do anything else, have a look at the pictures, see if they can pick a few faces out and ,prosecute them and move on to the next roll of film. If there’s too much film, don’t look too closely, if there’s a lot of incidents, there’s a queue. Simple!

 

The majority were peaceful.

 

And how many more potential deaths from COVID will we now suffer as a result of the self indulgent/virtue signallers/rent a mob types attending these demonstrations ? Those attending don’t just put themselves at risk they may have no symptoms at all but pass it on to people who may die as a result. The messages is very worthy, the method is worthy only of condemnation.

 

Very weak leadership was shown by the police imo, regardless of what people thought of the statue it was still vandalism, the police stood back and let it happen, this goes against everything in the oath they swear, like wise, taking a knee, they are supposed to be impartial, again it's one of the key elements in their oath, they were not showing solidarity they were showing weakness, absolutely support anti racism 100% in all forms, but the police shouldn't be supporting a movement( ANY MOVEMENT btw) again it's in their oath, they should remain impartial. I dont blame the officer on the ground but certainly the blame lies at the feet of the Gold/ Bronze commanders/ hierarchy, I totally get why they are protesting but I believe they have orchestrated themselves many to turn away from the BLM movement ( Not racism but the movement) I am yet to see any MP condem the actions ( they may I have but I havent seen it)

 

The majority shouldn't have been there at all.

 

Loads of people celebrate V.E Day - yay Britain.

Loads of people go to beaches across the country - well it doesn't affect most of the population, lockdown should only be for the elderly anyway. They can go to the beach if they like.

BLM March - BOOOOOO. How dare they. BOOOO. Etc.

 

I'd actually agree with you. Taking pc to the extreme gives cover to the racist and intolerant who are looking for the slightest excuse to undermine the efforts to actually stamp out prejudice and discrimination.

 

So in your world two wrongs make a right then ? The people filling the beaches and not social distancing on VE day were also rightly condemned. As for your yay Britain jibe given the context if what VE Day commemorates and the lives lost you should hang your head sunshine.

 

Hahaha. You're brilliant. You really are.

 

That's what most normal people think.

But there's a slight difference in having a day at the beach than protesting for Black Lives following hundreds of years of oppression.

Perhaps they should just take the knee - that's worked in the past.

 

these days eh stu!
