    It will automatically be derided because of the publication it comes from. I've seen a video from one of the alleged founders of black lives matter talking about being a marxist. What was apparently looking for justice for man killed by police is really just a smokescreen for bigger agendas at play. They won't win though, the backlash against it is gaining momentum.

    Not sure why BLMUK spending money on Marxist things is a surprise if people read their website it is clear what it’s aims are.

    Anyone that gives money without looking into it are stupid

    Anyone that gives money to them at all is stupid, might as well flush it down the bog.

    I'd suggest anyone who subscribed would think it was going to the "Black Lives Matter" campaign.

    According to an American source Soros donated $30m to start the campaign in America , the talk of defunding / doing away with law and order is a very sinister situation . I've no doubt a lot of supporrters of BLM in this country have very genial reasons for their concerns , it's the underlying aims of this movemnet that worries me . If you can't change a system by political means or you percieve the changes arn't happening fast enough whats the other alternative . ?

    She spoke to Talk Radio very recently too. I couldn't agree more with what she says. The conflation of an anti racist principle, with a much broader social and political agenda is going to become very problematic. BLM as a movement is a far left ideology.

    not sure how true the Soros story is as BLM in US is more a collective of local groups, chapters, rather than a centralised body

    Supporting Marxist views, where most would think it was going towards educating people with regards racism.

    mad I said before donating to anything you should find out what their aims are.

    Would be like giving to a charity and then complaining they did support what you wanted them to

    Skynews reporting the same. I'd say its clearly an antagonising move, fuelled by a media narrative that looks to divide people as much as possible.

    What I would say though, is that 2 days ago 3 white men were stabbed to death by a man of colour. Now to my mind I'm happy to accept that it's a case of a lunatic acting out his twisted religious ideology, combined with probable mental health issues, and not anything to do with race. However, if the races involved had been reversed there'd be a very different narrative playing out in the media.

    What on earth are you talking about. It was Terrorist attack..It was highlighted many a times and was wrong!!

    Why you turning it in to a black v white thing?? It's as bad as the banner tonight. People just don't seem to be getting it. A person of your intelligence I am mighty concerned! Stop turning it in to competition. Learn to understand.
