Black Lives Matter demos and protests UK, 2020-2021

[A380]

Just been on Channel 4 News.
They are saying Priti Patel is calling for prosecutions for criminal damage.

Javid’s piped up to condemn this action as criminal damage

Surely as they chucked it in the river (permanently depriving the owners of it) It would be theft not criminal damage. You'd think a half way competent Home Sec would know that, oh hang on...

I want to see their rage

Desperately attempting to thumb their hitherto unself-recognised passion for inanimate representations of cynical profiteering racists up into throbbing righteous common sense apoplexy, but not quite getting there.

A fitting funeral for a celebrated shipping entrepreneur, what could they possibly object to?

It's on Sky, why use Putin's channel?

This is today.

Did you go to this one?

 

[DaveCinzano]

It isn't a coincidence that Patel and Javid are the cabinet members who've been sent out to condemn this.

Is it because they share a long-held interest in commemorative statuary?

Might have been posted already but interesting reading.

Kicking off in Whitehall.

Camera man attacked by protesters for documenting what was going on?

Before any accusations are thrown around and for the avoidance of any doubt:

I said to another poster the other week that not many of you new posters would last once the virus was under relative control.

Yeah he was escorted away from the 'front line'. There is an amateur feed here.

Not quite right, 'x' marks the spot.

Time to get your kites in then whilst you still can.

Yes, I know it's the fucking Sun.

But bikes were apparently being hurled all over the show and there's pictorial evidence there.

The cop is already on the ground in that photo, obscured by the people in the middle of the road.

So it was taken after and away from the place the horse ran from.

You can see it in the video here:

Predictable of course that he would be cross, but I still can't ever quite predict what he'll come out with. 'New form of the Taliban' would not have been my first guess.
