Black Lives Matter demos and protests UK, 2020-2021

[Sprocket.]

I’d like Raab to take one of my knees.

 

[Sprocket.]

Raab’s views on taking the knee just proves they don’t live or belong in the real world.

Every single time eh! they get it spectacularly wrong then try and backtrack
Now got all sorts of lovely people backing him up which illustrates the shit stupid thick points he made

And what a true anglo saxon man, only kneeling for the queen and his mrs when he proposed!

I think it’s a more Norman/French/Aristo type of behaviour!

yeah

 

[Shechemite]

If only Ern knew

 

[dylanredefined]

dont know about the "bit shit in ww1" bit - he was only a corporal, was decorated for bravery twice and was wounded and gassed. he was already a fanatical nationalist though.

He was a runner so he got to hang around the command element being a brown nosing bastard. His former comrades couldn't stand him by all accounts.

 

[Buckaroo]

They say that now but yeah never liked him, dodgy little fucker... etc

 

[Pickman's model]

Yeah, but when you look back at history it seems hugely unlikely that a short dark-haired bloke from Austria who was a bit shit in WWI would end up commanding a third reich partly based on the Aryan race being tall and blonde. In a movie, that would be completely unrealistic.

i don't know where you get the short bit from, hitler was 5'10".

and say what you like about hitler, he wasn't responsible for the deaths of many thousands of soldiers in the first world war. churchill, by contrast...

They couldn't even be enticed to say nice things about him when he was in charge of Germany .

Just millions in the next one.

never lets you down, does it, "when in doubt state the bleeding obvious"

Churchhill managed to stave a few million indians during the second war world if we are keeping tabs

 

[Treacle Toes]

Dominic Raab's comments are very telling in the way he compares solidarity with Black lives matter to a fantasy world where he rules and the only other position is 'subordinate'...the whole analogy aligns with the Far Right dog whistle that giving Black people equality/equity means losing 'power' . This is the thinking of White Supremacists; it is racism.

 

[Treacle Toes]

Even if it's a deliberate attempt to undermine, along with Hancock's getting Marcus' name wrong yesterday. It boils down to the same thing.

 

[Ax^]

War on woke methinks the strategy is called

it is playing by trump/ populism playbook
don't upset the base

But it does doesn’t it, in their heads it does mean losing power. Or rather losing what they feel is their rightful place in the world at the top of the hierarchy, their dominance depends on people who don’t look like them being kept in their place kicked back down when necessary.
I keep remembering how they were singing ‘we want our country back’ last weekend and that it’s a good thing, if they sincerely feel that the country that once was theirs isnt anymore.

Churchill was 5 feet 5, unlike his statue.

 

[krink]

Yes.

Mission accomplished. All gone

It’s a thing with fuckwits that they interpret ‘Black Lives Matter’ as meaning ‘black lives matter more than me’ rather than ‘black lives matter as much as me’. Maybe it needs this clarification for those still catching up at the back?

 

[Puddy_Tat]

dunno

there are some fuckwits who see the concept ‘black lives matter as much as me’ as a threat...

Are you saying Raab is a White Supremacist? And for clarity what do you mean by that?

Shitloads of police in London today for BLM demo:

Should be relatively peaceful this week anyway shouldn't it? The fash'll be hiding in case they beat themselves up again.

I would like to think so, unless the OB are itching to crack some skulls and can't contain themselves.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Well, that seems unlikely

 

[Treacle Toes]

Are you saying Raab is a White Supremacist? And for clarity what do you mean by that?

I'm saying that Raab is promoting White Supremacy, the ideology of hierarchy based on class and race, where a civil rights and equality campaign is viewed through the framework of ruling or being subordinate, no in between, no shared ground, no equality, that allyship and support is to lose 'power'. I think you already know what it means and that it's at the core of Imperialism and the colonialist mentality that still runs deep through 'Conservatism' in this county.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

The coppers keeping "the statue defenders" well away from the BLM protest in George Square today. They look to be in scummy, violent mode, as you'd expect.

Where can I buy one of these t-shirts?
