Black Lives Matter demos and protests UK, 2020-2021

[agricola]

Some were accusing the police of being ‘left wing scum’ earlier so they are hardly calibrated to reality or even consistently to their own world view.

"antifa" as well, somewhat confusingly

Yeah, there's a clip of one of them shouting "You're antifa" at a cop. Bizarre times.

 

[ska invita]

They seem to have missed out the word extremists several times.

Telegraph are calling them Black Lives Matter protesters, so it's a step up from that at least!

 

[Anju]

name this tune please ? (the one they're singing We want our country back to)

No idea myself but really like this tweet in reply to the video, which also doesn't actually answer your question.

Thinking about it though, if she has a niece then its possible she might be referred to as Aunty Fascist.

Ill get my own coat

one of the best thing i ever heard was when some coachloads of anti-fascists collided with chelsea headhunters at a service station some years ago, and one of the canny master-race thought his efforts were best served daubing a swastika on one of the anti-fascists' coaches. in his own blood. cue arrest, charge and conviction.

No doubt they will say ‘it’s just lads having a laugh’

 

[Sprocket.]

I thought we had sorted this in 77.
Obviously a never ending task.

He was just washing off some fresh graffiti. One day he will be memorialised as the pissing patriot.

I think doing nazi salutes in front of the cenotaph is a great look for them. Or am I imagining things idk?

I just watched this video full screen, and they aren't doing nazi salutes. They're pumping their fists and pointing in that way people do when they're singing along full throttle to something.

I thought that, it’s just general, bog standard football chanting. It is easy to assume that right arms are being thrown in salute when there are not.

Yep. I wasn’t sure and do have a tendency to see proper nazis when there might just be your bog standard racist twat on a day out.

 

[Johnny Doe]

Is this the normal attendance for these idiots? I mean, I've seen the BLM protests attract big crowds and worldwide media coverage. A sunny Saturday with no football to go to, no pubs open and this is their turn out?

It's laughable. I saw more aggro around the North London Derby in my mid-teens. As a bystander, I should add, I'm not claiming any hooligan status, nor would I want to.

lots of people posting screenshots all over twitter from that vid claiming they're nazi salutes, I think its an easy mistake to make (and an easy 'mistake' to make too).

Meanwhile in Liverpool there is a BLM protest that seems pretty peaceful.

You sure? Some of it looked like Nazi salutes to me.

What were they singing along to?

 

[Johnny Doe]

Bizarrely one saying 'leave them alone' and apologising. Has he not been out with his mates before ?

 

[Sprocket.]

What were they singing along to?

I’d like to think it was ‘I’m a daft Barnsley bastard’!

 

[Dogsauce]

Why is it being called ‘BLM counter-protesters’ in the press rather than a pro-racism rally, which is what it actually is?

 

[gentlegreen]

Did one of those thugs actually spit on the picnickers ?

 

[killer b]

I am sure. I've no idea what they were singing, some football chant.

It'd be really neat and easy if they were saluting hitler at the cenotaph, but they just aren't sorry.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

We might not excel at much else, but we do seem to do ignorant racist cunts better than most countries.

 

[Anju]

Police must have fucked up a lot of statues to get this lot so worked up.

I was watching this live on Sky from the persepctive of that steadycam, and was a bit worried about the young masked-up black reporter encountering the fash given the treatment the latter meted out to middle-aged white reporters earlier. Good to see they had minders and were on top of things:

Blame the PC brigade. You can't call anything what it is these days.

If the BBC called them racists they might have to stop inviting them on Question Time. It's a dilemma

The defend the statues mob have arrived to defend the statues from nobody.

about an hour back from now (i.e. 17:15 hours on the video) there is a remarkable seen of three blokes being held back by three police horses as they waffle absolute shite whilst apparently coked out of their total minds. Main argument appears to be that they can't be EDL as they are Irish.
