      From GWs link,
      “When the man was hurt, police asked the demonstrators to avoid the area.”
      Perhaps some police witnessed the event and were left to pick up the pieces, the imagery filed away with all the others to resurface who knows when. Absolutely tragic for the family concerned, how much better if the police had simply walked away and told the ‘protesters’ to deal with it. Reminded of an RT piece.

        It reminds me of when protestors used to set themselves alight trying to burn the American flag in the Middle East. That was always good for a laugh.
        That Mirror report quotes a protestor at the toppling of a Christopher Columbus statue in Minnesota:
        ‘Chelsea Higgs-Wise, another activist at the demo, said: “We have to start where it all began. We have to start with the people who stood first on this land.”’
        Jesus, do they want total reverse-migration, everyone returning to their lands of origin?

          I heard the Mayor of Minneapolis misspeak in print via the BBC web-site that the demonstrators wrecking his city in the first day/night of protest had good reason for the past 400 years of history.

          Americans are normally taught their national history to some detail and with a measure of thoroughness that is lacking in the UK. The Mayor of Minneapolis is not stupid, think he may hold not one but two degrees at Bachelor level, so I did some research as to what he might be referring to.

          I was surprised – astonished even – to find not that the American Indians had African slaves and farmed sugar or cotton but that Wiki (usual disclaimers) suggests that some scholars now think the original inhabitants were Caucasians who walked over the land bridge into Alaska and down into the USA and across to the east coast.

          Am more than a little distraught at all those stories of early British settlers and their relationships with American Indians and cowboy & Cavalry tales that I enjoyed as a kid were all false.

          Can I sue for compensation?

    LCS – Your statement, which you have not disputed or attempted to dissociate yourself from, was “We kneel with all those opposing anti-Black racism.”
    LCS – I put it to you, Suck Here, that you are a racist.
    KS – I deny that.
    LCS – Your position is that you oppose one specific type of racism, “anti-Black racism”.
    Nothing whatsoever in your statement indicates antipathy towards any other racism.
    So strongly do you support this uniracial racism, that you were prepared to adopt an obeisant, grovelling, posture
    (unsuitable for the position, you hopefully temporarily, hold) to promote it in the media.
    More so than when receiving a knighthood from Her Majesty.
    This clearly indicates that you are totally unsuitable for low office.
    KS – You are taking my words out of context.
    LCS – “We kneel with all those supporting Black racism”, a simplification of mine which reflects the policy actually being followed by the Labour Party.
    The good news, “Forensic” Suck Here, is that I am only a man on the Carlisle omnibus contributing to a website.
    Hopefully charges will be brought against you with regard to concealment of mass, racist, gang rapes.
    When, under cross-examination, you will show the resilience of a flabby Brylcreemed haddock and be given a life
    sentence.

    BBC s***- stirring, part 248.

    ‘How did going back to school lose the plot?’ They ask on their live stream.

    A thinly veiled criticism.

    They, like all socialists, see everything through nationalised eyes, don’t they?

    How about this? Ask the Unions, who fought tooth and nail to keep the schools closed. Ask head teachers, who are in overall charge of education for children in their care.

    Many teachers are pretty well meaning and would be happy to create remedial help. They need a lead from government but don’t need to be micro-managed.

    The ultimate failure of socialism is the idea that the centre alone knows all the best answers and no-one else can be allowed to contribute other be managed like brainless automatons.

    I’m perhaps becoming a bit confused here, but they’ve torn down a statue to Columbus…. who, apparently (according to the rhyme I remember) got to America in 1492 A.D.

    The latest ‘thinking’ – and I really do use that word lightly, BLM et al reckon US history started in 1619 A.D., with the arrival of the first black Africans.

    So, Columbus preceded any black Africans by around 127 years – but BLM is utterly pissed at him anyway…..

    I’m really not seeing the connection here.

    I wonder when the BBC will start asking the pertinent question “What do we do with statues linked to paedophilia?”
    The statues that plaster Broadcasting house were sculpted by Eric Gill, a truly repulsive excuse for a human being.
    He molested his younger sister, had sex with two of his daughters and even messed about with the family pooch. Just thinking about this bloke makes my flesh crawl.
    However, despite his crimes being well known, his statues still adorn Beeb Towers.
    You might have thought, what with the BBC’s rather “unfortunate history” with concealing paedophiles within their employ, that they’d be only too glad to swiftly to get rid of these ghastly reminders, but no…

    They’ve learned nothing from the shocking Savile scandal, when it became apparent they had concealed Britain’s most prolific child abuser for five decades. And knowing this they still gave him his own kids TV show, Jim’ll Fix it. Yes, I bet he did!

    They’ve also employed Stuart Hall and Rolf Harris. And as we now know the BBC authorities knew full well what these “men” were doing. What we don’t yet know is how many more are still there hiding under their slimy rock.

    I wonder if Mayor Khant will be tempted to put forward a commission looking into some of these activities and perhaps decide the Gill statues have to be removed.

    Hmm, thinking about it perhaps not It could be a tad culturally insensitive.
    Considering the inclinations of many in his own community…

        Christianity, clearly guilty, some enterprising people in Europe have already started burning Christian churches, quite right too: they are not even charging! So when all the Christian buildings are destroyed, job done.

    I am subscribed to a number of professional software and development tools websites due to my occupation as a web developer.

    This week I noticed that I was getting a flood of emails with what I perceive as virtue-signalling anti-racist or BAME matter or undertones.

    It seems that a fair few companies have decided to ‘get with the program’ and wave their virtue flags.

    I have no particular beef with the ’causes’ they have thrown their virtuous support behind but I think this trend for companies to wave the flag is mis-placed in business and as a potential customer decided that they won’t be selling anything to me anytime soon.

    Therefore I have been relentlessly unsubscribing from any outfit trying to wave this flag at me. I may want to buy their services or product but don’t need their ‘how to be a good citizen’ messages.

    I find it irritating and false and almost certainly reflects the view of the ( probably woke ) marketing department or advertising agency rather than the Company itself.

    I hope many more people see through this charade and get irritated enough to vote with their feet.

      I noted someone on here mentioning that Jim Davidson, ‘ex(terminated)-BBC comedian, had his own ‘vlog’.

      As it happens I came across it last week. Much of what he had to say seemed reasonable and ‘common sense’.

      Then he went on to tell us that one reason that BLM was wrong was that society had moved on, ‘we only had to see all those blacks in the sofa and bank adverts’.

      I don’t think he was joking. I think he was being serious. He has conceded to their point of view.

      This is all very dangerous: “We are all Martians now, but some are more Martian than others, perhaps we should eliminate those who aren’t Martian enough?”

      Lately we have seen Julia Hartley-Brewer walking backwards, Nigel Farrage has long done it, deliberately blind to the hijabed-elephant. Criticism of the BBC on the one hand is the weak, “you don’t present our case at all. ” against the strong, “You don’t push our case strongly enough“, (we get it ‘just about right’).

      We don’t even hear people dare to say now, “I am not racist, but…”, if they had a platform they would be lynched.

      Where are the voices promoting a positive future? Why can’t we take the best of the past or present and build a better future? That is the sort of message that used to motivate our young men in particular to do great things.

      A few years ago I saw a lecture when one of those ‘heroes’ of the destructionists, Noam Chomsky, a snake who goads these people on, turned on one of his fans in the audience and asked them what future they were trying to build? It was quite clear that it all was just an amusement to him. “I can pull it down, so I will!”, like a destructive child, or a BBC ‘journalist’ fanning the flames that will destroy us all.

      Is there no-one left prepared to take on these barbarians? Not to retreat on the killing field of the destructionist’s choosing but to make a positive pincer move cutting off the head of this beast and freeing mankind from the cancer of evil hatred promoted by the BBC and its pals?

      What do you think the BBC’s reaction now would be to MLK’s “I have a dream” or JFK’s “Ask not what America can do for you” if instead Donald Trump or Boris Johnson was saying something similar? There is no ‘progress’ in ‘progressivism’ so stop pretending.

        It’s up to us to write the history NOW. Of course, we know that such history will be officially banned but somehow, truth will out.

    We have now imported the conflict to the dinner table. The missus wanted to know “why I was so left-wing at uni and am so right-wing now?”
    It was difficult to explain to her that I was centrist and conservative then, and I am centrist and conservative now. No problems with equality and respect for all, but when things are manipulated in pursuit of something quite different, but sticking to these ‘old’ labels, that I become irritated. I tried an example:
    We were living in Germany when the wall came down, and there you have a classic illustration: when the whole political and media system moves to the ‘Left’, but an individual remains the same, they suddenly become ‘Right’.
    Merkel’s CDU policy in 1989 is the same as the AfD policy now, but the AfD are suddenly almost ‘neo Nazis’. How come? Simple: the current CDU/SPD (socialist) ‘grand coalition’ under Merkel has moved way over to the ‘Left’. The AfD are a genuine threat to her power, so they have to be demonised. The crucial success of that piece of trickery is that German MSM play along with her.
    She pretends to be conservative, they agree. She says borders cannot be enforced, and that there is ‘no alternative’ to that policy. (Hence the birth of the AfD: an Alternative for Germany). She does away with nuclear power overnight to go Green. She spends money like crazy, including a huge bribe to Erdogan to do the border enforcement in Turkey. Yup, that will work well…
    I could go on, that’s only a small part of it. She turned the “Rechstaat” (LawState) on its head by breaking laws like crazy. Judges and the media go along with this. Anything beginning to sound vaguely familiar?
    I have no problem with female leaders, if they are there because they are competent leaders. I remember Golda Meir (with admiration), Indira Ghandi (indifferent but no problems) and Maggie Thatcher (with admiration). All there because they were LEADERS, not because they were female.
    I don’t kike Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, a Merkel clone who has been appointed as her successor in best Politburo fashion. I have a suspicion as to the key reasons.
    I now look at Britain and can work out more or less what’s going on. But hey, what do I know?
    I’m SO Right wing!

        I should have mentioned another giveaway: Last century, when the CDU was in government, it vigorously opposed and condemned the opposition: the socialist SPD. Now the only meaningful opposition is the AfD.
        Even more of a giveaway: the socialist SPD also governed. Even its Chancellors (Prime Ministers in G) were well to the Right of Merkel! A person like Helmuth Schmidt wouldn’t recognise the present day, that’s how far the goal posts have moved.
        Anyway, as I write, R4 is having a go at President Trump. Who would have thought? Apparently the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs has apologised for appearing with the Donald. Former Secretary Cohen says the Defence Sec has also differed with him. Now Kumarasami is using leading questions, as to whether more of Trump’s cabinet should apologise. Cohen obediently plays ball….almost as if he’d been fed the answers to read out. Almost like listening to Obama himself. Will they soon start apologising for their existence?
        Our James knows -like all other R4 ‘news’ presenters, how to prompt all answers. Competition for Ritula Shah. Listen and learn. The interviewee needen’t even pitch up, it’s so manipulated! Talk about ventrilowhatsit.

        In 2004, Collymore was accused of taking part in dogging at Cannock Chase by an undercover News of the World reporter.[42] He lost his job at BBC Radio 5 Live over the incident.

        He is a supporter of Republic, a campaign group that campaigns for an elected UK head of state.[43][failed verification] He supported the Labour Party before leaving them for the Scottish National Party in December 2015 after a notable minority of Labour MPs supported airstrikes in Syria.[44]

        He stated in his autobiography that he has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.[45]”

    “Die Welt” reports from Hamburg, under a heading about “Left wing extremism” that the German version of MI5 have “at least 47 Antifa groups in their sights”. Apparently there could be up to 100 Ant groups. The photograph says they’re “self-defined” antifascists.
    That is so astonishing, I’ll have to go back and see if I read that correctly, here in the MSM!
    Hello? That article disappeared faster than you can say ‘Angela Merkel’!
    Somebody’s in the dung…
    I tell a lie. it’s still there. By Marcel Leubecher. Sounds like he could be an honest man.
    Meanwhile, Robert Taylor has written an excellent comment in the Telegraph. Excellent. More honesty. That’s twice in ten minutes my flabber is truly gasted…

      Darn. One of my favourite episodes. And I have no problem with the Germans. Ganz im Gegenteil. Only, their taste in leaders is a bit odd – seems almost to have reverted to the…oh dear, I won’t mention it.
      I think ‘the man in the street’ has been wonderfully befuddled, bewitched and bewildered by the publicly funded ARD and ZDF and the like.(And as for the governing politicians.. well, I won’t mention them either).
      I wonder why that is? How could that happen?
      Not at all like here, is it?

        Fed, it’s not so much ‘what’ as ‘who’ is banned.
        J’Ob is all over LBC app home page, Nigel has been silenced, and judging by misrepresenting Nick Ferrari’s comment on Sky recently, they are gunning for him. Global is ensuring ‘freedom of speech, but only if I agree with it’. The left are too clever, they control the media, the government with an 80 seat majority are shit scared to use it because of media bias. I don’t think we have the ammo to quell this coup.

    The Churchill statue stooge
    When I saw the photo in the paper
    I immediately felt suspicious
    Something about the way the Mail was doing a smearjob story
    yet it had a nice posed photo at the statue.
    Since media half a cultural of faking stuff,
    they probably have their own crowd of stooges for such photos.

      So:

      1) Rogue cop kills black suspect.

      2) BLM + the Dems + leftist msm whip up a huge shitstorm.

      3) The gullible masses donate to the BLM thinking that’ll help blacks (whereas their sole aim is to keep the race war going as long as possible).

      4) BLM donate to the Dems.

      5) The unholy alliance go back to pouring petrol on a volatile situation, exacerbate civil unrest and mutual mistrust until the next black death.

      6) Repeat, ad infinitum.

      How very circular.

    Radio 4 ‘News’ at 10pm is always so contrived, it’s painful.

    Open question: “What do you think of President Trump?
    Interviewee: “Well, I think…”etc etc etc
    Leading question: “Do you think President Trump is a two-bit, no good, cotton-pickin’, lily-livered skunk?
    Interviewee: ” Oh, yes”. (The ‘oh’ is optional)

    Which of these 2 forms of question do we think is much beloved of James Kumarasami, Ritula Shah and -at a stretch- Shaun Ley?
    And if so, to whom do we award the Chief Manipulator on beeb R4 ‘news’ award?

      Instead of the unwashed rentamob trashing all those statues of honourable English patriots, why not send the louts up to Jockland?
      I believe the famous Wallace Memorial is in need of an overhaul. Looking a bit scruffy…
      And I’m sure Jimmy Krankie and her anti English fascists would appreciate having Idi Amin’s corpulent butt stuck on top of it.

    It seems to me that the screaming progressive tendency has started to get a bit jumpy. They are not very sharp but even they can see that whipping up tension between communities here is not so bright. The vast majority up to now have been silent but watching Poole you can see that the wind is changing and fast. The council leaders looked way out of their comfort zone. Even our supine police might think twice about taking on the utterly respectable and elderly residents of Poole .
    Also there is genuine outrage about the Cenotaph. The police failed to protect it. It is our national symbol and means much to millions. It will not take much to ignite real trouble that all will regret. The media has overstepped the line. Sky and the BBC are the worst.
    In many parts of the country there were no race relation troubles at all. WE could be put back several generations unless the trouble makers back off. The trouble makers being the media.

    I looked up UKTV and discovered that it owns Dave, Gold and others

    I’m not sure if my Sky subscription covers all of those channels or are some free?

    Am I paying twice to watch these?

    Has anyone got a link to unravel this mess, and also who is BritTV?
