    Slavery is slavery Al be it back in the Roman times or what we are seeing on our TV recently, Romanian, Latvian, even Polish the other day gang masters bringing their own people over with the talk of a great lifestyle and then making them work for peanuts and threatening them that their families back home will suffer if they don't cooperate.
    Not watched any TV coverage today but did anyone really think there would not be confrontation after whats happend over the last week or so.

    See the BBC after making a fuss about the Faulty Towers sketch "The Germans" have now reinstated again.
    This just about sums it up here : Cleese wrote on social media on June 12. “So BBC decisions are made by persons whose main concern is not losing their jobs. That’s why they’re so cowardly and gutless and contemptible.”

    It's not just the BBC. Being sacked for airing even moderate opinions is now becoming a thing. In the US, people are being sacked for airing the view 'all lives matter'. LA Galaxy player sacked a player for Twitter comments made by his wife, despite him apologising and coming out in support of BLM.

    You're overstating the size of the movement imo. there'll rarely be more than hundreds if that. Theyre anarchists who by definition hate any form of hierarchical structure. if any one singular person tried to organise them they'd just get told to do one

    Whatever happens today, nothing annoys me more than the people who are attacking police in London being described as “football thugs”. It’s the same reason you can’t go to an away game in peace any more. there is always a collection of idiots at football but when you have thousands upon thousands attending matches around the country with alcohol involved you are always going to get some trouble. No different to any night out in any city. It’s just wrong and has happened for decades with nothing done to stop it. Everyone is a football hooligan

    Yeah great idea. Pull that ladder up for the thousands that have to depend on it. To punish? You know collective punishment is against the Geneva convention?

    Just to add some balance to the bullshit coverage of LBC and the main stream media today.
    I've been following this today and none of this has been shown, infact quite the opposite. Today has been labelled a day of extreme far right troubles with the police, no mention of any of this 'other' violence' shown in videos and still photos. If anyone believes this whole scenario isn't being systematically organised by agenda driven media is naive at best. This ain't the people protesting anymore.

    Call me tin foil hat but the more I see it the more I feel this has been orchestrated from the top. Cover the statues make people think are in danger. Graffiti them one week, probably with your own agents or undercover activists. Then light the touch paper and walk away.
    A perfect distraction from a piss poor government with yet more deaths today from COVID

    You're right. We're now talking about a politically motivated, ideological movement that's infiltrated the element of legitimate messaging around racism.

    From the reports I've seen, 2 police officers have been injured today compared to 27 last weekend. And yet the narrative from today is and will be centred around the moronic right wing element.

    I've watched the whole reporting of it and have been worried at the completely unbalanced view the media have shown throughout today. If i'd only taken the MSM view of it i wouldn't have thought there were any protesters opposed to todays protest there. As the videos show there were more than a fair few there, looks like hundreds.

    The whole things become a mess. For example, the intention for premier league players to have 'black lives matters' on their shirts next week. Presumably intended to underline the games position on racism. No issue there. But I wonder how many of those players recognise that 2 specific, stated aims of the BLM movement is to remove capitalism and defund the police. The premier league. One of the most symbolic beneficiaries of capitalism. And do we really need to discuss the moronic notion of defeunding the police?

    I knew America was f****d up anyway, but I didn't realise how bad, and downright dangerous the landscape was over there, right now. And then I watched a couple of online news articles about CHAZ, which include prominent political leaders coming out in support of what's happening!!

    How would they know whether these were BLM supporters?

    I fear this is just the start of something that's going to get much, much worse.
