    But will it? Theres a genius at play here. They've fused together a noble aim to tackle racism, with a much broader social and political agenda. So people cant criticise or oppose the wider aims of BLM without being closed down as racist, putting their jobs and in some cases their safety at risk.

    Is that 2nd paragraph not more about 'it takes a village to raise a child' line of attitude? That's how I read it.

    Even in the US, there are two separate BLM's; the BLM Foundation and the BLM Global Network. It's a bit like a re-run of the the competing Popular Judea Front and the Popular Front of Judea in Life of Brian! Both versions of BLM confusingly use the BLM strapline with one (the Foundation) apparently focusing on the anti-racist message and the other (the Global Network) associated with a much broader agenda involving for example LGBT rights, thenature of the family unit and changes to the economic structure. The one you posted is from the Global Network and has been captured by those with other interests. It appears that the UK 'branch' of BLM is associated with the Global Network. Unfortunately it's the Global Network which had the sense to create the BlackLivesMatter website first

    I'm confident that it will come out in the fullness of time that the two US BLMs just like the various mutations of the Judea Popular Front (as it is now known ;) ) are not the same organisation and the sooner that happens the better. Whilst ever the 'BLM' campaigns on the broader issues, it is imo destined to failure and become a fragmented movement.

    The PL have issued a statement saying they do not support any "political organisation" . They added they are aware of various groups that have infiltrated and hijacked the original campaign . BLM UK have stated they want to defund the Police , they do not in any way want to endorse the violence or illegal activities of what as now become a left wing political movement . The PL will continue to strive to remove racism in any form . Matt Le Tissier a SKY pundit he was told he had to wear a BLM badge by his bosses before appearing on TV .

    I just hope now that this sorry affair does not disrupt dressing rooms throughout the land, supporters saw through it straight away but it could take players a little longer...

    Disgusting, but as you say - doesn't fit the narrative. The presenter asks 'why does no one intervene?'. Fear. Not necessarily fear of injury, but fear of being branded 'racist'. People feel unable to intervene whether that be physically or on the basis of simply offering opinion, but people are being shut down. Losing jobs, criminalized, attacked.

    I still think that the voice of the masses is largely silent. Any politician or political party willing to stand for common sense, tolerance and equality - real equality - and who were brave enough to take a stand, would be rewarded many times over. It could be the making of a truly, one every generation leader.

    We are been brain washed to accept more racial acceptance in the community, An example is the advertising industry, The government reports often that BAME only make up 7% of the population but are used in 90% of adverts in some way or another, This cannot be coincidence that all the advertisers use BAME in adverts there must be some direction to include BAME
