Do you notice the BBC has obsessions ? One obsession is Dominic Cummings . Now it is about ‘ largely peaceful ‘ protests on behalf of a criminal who was killed by american police .
‘Largely peaceful ‘ -by the way – In BBC speak -now means 27 london coppers injured and some hospitalised …. It’s lucky none are ‘largely dead’.

All the gains that have been made by the good, hardworking, honest people of Great Britain in the last three months of lockdown have been completely trashed by the demonstrators. All with the support of Al Beeb and the MSM. Time now for the people of Britain to trash Al Beeb.
She has apologised. Apparently.
Expect wall to wall support and invites from Today through Vile to One Show and Newsnight. Plus QT and HIGNFY, natch.
She is a journalist? FFS where did she learn to write? Has she never heard of a capital letter?
No doubt educated at the best left wing institution?
JA
She is a well known muncher.
She had a pro queer article in the Guardian a few months ago.
Lying about the motives of a male paedophile, posing as a teacher.
The paedo. had already been asked to leave one school because of grooming.
He had obtained another teaching post with similar intentions.
The Les approved of this.
I tried to take the article apart on BBBC.
The media seem to like the word largely. The protests are “largely peaceful”. I remember James Clapper, Obama’s head of National Intelligence, telling us the Muslim Brotherhood was “largely secular”. Not a peep or attempt to question this. The same is happening now except they are promoting misrepresentations as well as not questioning something that is smacking them in the face (figuratively).

Yes, they are feeding us largely on bollox.
Fortunately we recognise the unpleasant Communist taste and do not swallow it.
Jon, Katty, Anthony and Nick are of course big Don fans.
‘Let’s go to break’ is also very bbc when having your studio protected ass handed to you.
You can picture the producer shouting in his earpiece. “Sh!t, he’s going off narrative! Get rid of him! Go to break! Go to break!”
Or just use the bad line/cut off trick as the BBC did on 5live one night.
England had played Estonia at football and as usual the BBC were wetting themselves as there had been some ‘alleged racial abuse.’
On the line we have a black player who plays in the Estonian league “you must have suffered from lots of racism playing in Estonia”” Err no!” Some strange noise on the line then “we seemed to have lost Mr Black player we’ll try and get him back.”
He did not come back!
I bet the guest booker for that show got a severe dressing down for that.
What’s the expression? ‘A Crox of…’?
Stud muffin Kamal heads quite the propaganda outfit.
BBC News
“There comes a time when we all have to speak up.”
Thousands of people in the UK took part in anti-racism protests over the weekend.
bbc.in/3h4c4gu

They have never freakin’ stopped for years.
“We have a pandemic of black people dying every day”
Indeed. But it is not in the UK or USA. It is in places such as Nigeria with Boko Haram. In the recent past we have Rwanda where far more black people were killed than Colston managed. Many murdered under brutal dictators who are still enriching themselves at the expense of their own people. Anyone remember Idi Amin?
I don’t recall much BBC outrage and continuous talking head outcry about any of this. Nothing to PC virtue signal about, I presume.
It’s selective racism time at the BBC.
On Toady this morning we heard a complaint about the racism in Sport, in that …….there are no black swimmers in the British team !!!! FFS. Strangely the % of black members of the athletics team or premier league footballers was not mentioned.
Toady then presents a trailer for a programme on Radio 4 tomorrow. It’s a programme called ‘A Good Read’ and will feature……wait for it……the Black Girls Book Club!!!
Somehow I suspect the White Girls book club may not get as sympathetic a coverage from the anti-white Black Broadcasting Corporation.
The BBC thinks jamming a stopper in the pressure cooker valve and turning up the heat is going to produce the results it desires.
I beg to differ.
Exactly . But it’s not just the BBC it is also the police, the political and educational establishments , the liberal Globalists and the rest of the MSM. They embarked on their highly risky experiment to socially engineer society by importing large numbers of ethnically different people into a Western society. History ought to have told them that this was risky and that the tensions created by similar movements of people lasted not generations but for centuries. But without consulting the native population they went ahead. Now they are trying by every means possible to force or dupe the native population that it is a good thing or at least a just thing to have done. Young people are brain washed into diminishing their own life chances in order to provide ‘justice ‘ for others. The police are used to enforce the law vigorously against any natives who protest and the justice system and MSM discriminates against them . This is in complete contrast to how those institutions treat the imported ethnic minorities who are accorded many benefits. How long the elite can keep pulling the wool over the eyes of the native population is a question that probably keeps them awake at night.
OH FFS
BBC R4..voices of people taking about Bristol statute…’everyone agrees Edward Coulson was an unpleasant man’ do they BBC or is that your view?
BBC “according the the people we were hearing from he is just bad’… oh well that’s okay then..a few people think he is bad so it is okay to pull statue down…
Yet again condoning violence ..BBC you are a disgrace…
What I want to know is how many Black people have benefited and used any of the facilities Coulson contributed to Bristol?
And why most of those pulling the statute down were White….FFS police get a grip
Meanwhile Sky goes full BBC live… and regrets it.
But those mentioned above did not quite seem black enough for Andrew Marr when interviewing Matt Hancock on Sunday morning.
The Mayor of Bristol swerving questions left right and center all over the media this morning, the usual crap ” me being a man of color” playing the victim as usual. Ask him about the J*w hatred in HIS labour party, the party being investigated for anti-Semitism. Labour down with the BNP.
The BoJo has form for inaction
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2011/aug/09/boris-johnson-clapham-junction-london-riots
Boris Johnson heckled in Clapham Junction over London riots
This article is more than 8 years old [thank you Gruaniad, I can do the maths. Besides, I have something journos seem to disregard in their audience – a memory]
London mayor criticised by locals over slow police response to high street looting and his sluggish return from holiday
Once again, for me at least, it’s the very disturbing lack of any action from the authorities that I find so chilling.
I don’t expect anything much from the sort of permanently aggrieved ultra anarchistic white, middle class scum and black feral morons who attend these events.
They’re just intent on mayhem and destruction.
And they’re encouraged and goaded by the hypnotic mantra constantly being played by the media.
But for the police to stand idly by when the Cenotaph or Churchill’s statue are smothered in graffiti…
Or when the statue in Bristol is taken down and thrown into a river…
The police stood and looked on! They were little more than spectators.
What on Earth are they doing there?
I wonder, If we organised an anti Antifa demonstration in London and I turned up in Parliament Square with a JCB, a pot of paint and a bunch of feral halfwits and started attacking the (incongruous) statues of Mandela and Gandhi, would the police look the other way?
Would the BBC say that our demonstration had been “largely peaceful”?
I’d be in nick and branded a racist thug before the paint had dried.
I’m usually a law abiding, easy going sort of chap. It takes a heck of a lot to make me angry. But seeing this anarchic vermin desecrating memorials and being encouraged to do so by a contemptible, cheerleading media, is beyond endurance. This is our country and these are our memorials. If you don’t like them, piss off. I hear Zimbabwe is lovely at this time of year.
And in the meantime…
Anyone got a spare JCB?
A governments first duty is to defend its people. Clearly this government and everyone since Thatcher has not.
What do we see,
the industrial rape of tens of thousand of underage girls – response nothing beyond platitudes.
The illegal invasion of 100os landing on our shores – nothing done to stop or prevent it
The desecration of cultural monuments during an illegal protest – police stand by and do nothing.
Police kneel before the mob, implying they will do nothing when the mob comes for your property and family.
Raheem Sterling, the intellectual colossus with the rifle tattoo on one of his legs, has spoken to the Al-Beeb of his support for the protests and about how there’s only one disease right now: racism.
I know some people (and know of a few more through friends and neighnours) who have lost loved ones in the prime of their lives to Covid-19. I wonder what they’d have to say to Sterling about the clearly non-existent disease that has ripped their lives apart. Moreover, how will the BAME community react to Sterling’s comments, given that Covid-19 apparently kills a disproportionately high number of non-whites?
Needless to say, the Al-Beeb have given his idiotic opinions prime position on the BBC Sport website.
They really are an utter disgrace. The sooner that they are defunded (which means losing all their premises and equipment in addition to to the gushing well of public funding being cut off) the better it will be.
In the Beebs other main BLM UK story they have sought that other intellectual colossus David “Mastermind” Lammy for his (of course unbiased and objective) view. Clearly Mr Lammy feels he has more in common with his American brothers and sisters than fellow UK citizens.
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-52960756
It is amazing (or, perhaps, not really) that the BBC never comes out with the question that they put to all government ministers whenever they think they can get away with it, of the type…
“So, Raheem, how many people do you think might die because of this lawless behviour, and do you approve of that number, or do you think (how did my good colleague Mishal Husain put it…ah yes..) it should be more ? What do you have to say to the grieving relatives of these people killed by the actions you are condoning, sorry, supporting today ? Many of them will be, I am sure, supporters of your club, and would like to know.”
How long before BLM W1A picks up on this one?
BBC News

These quoted benign phrases are pure Orwell.
Yup, Guest Who – can you imagine the tape of the phone call in some downtown, Democrat-controlled, US city, in the local ‘Office for Public Safety’ …
Despatcher : “So let me get this straight, there are three masked thugs battering down your front door with machetes, screaming that they intend to do you and your kids gross harm, and burn down your house…right ?
OK – if you give me the address again, I’ll get one of our expert threat analysis teams around as soon as the Social Service Office opens again at 9 am on Monday morning….. and you will be around at home on Monday morning, right ? ‘cos we don’t want to be wasting valuable public time and money, OK, hon ? ”
Caller : Click……..
Richard,
The final ‘click’ is from the lock on gun cabinet.
What on earth happened to the 27 police officers injured yesterday ? On the Today programme this morning, despite the constant repetition regarding the Colson statue during the day, the BBC only reported on 8 police injuries ‘last night’…. and at one point even omitted the ‘last night’ part.
So – there were really 35 police injured yesterday – but, of course, the Beeboids want to diminish any negative outcome of these so-called ‘peaceful protests’.
Bias by omission yet again.
Simple explanation Richard, 27 is an odd number and so is 35. Odd numbers create unease, because of their oddness, so in the interests of public safety and to keep things largely peaceful such numbers are rounded down to a nice, quiet sort of ‘8-ish’ level.
It makes for smiley faces.
A work of beauty.

What a great idea . Instead of a police department why not have a “what would you like to do ?” Department .
The other day there was footage of looting in the USA where a coloured fatty was filled carrying an imac box out of a shop AKA ‘store’ and promtly getting violently robbed by another coloured .
It was pure popcorn .
I wondered if this is the best approach to all this now – in the short term – just not getting depressed by it .
Watching a completely inept plod either colluding with the rabble or running away from them might be best treated as entertainment rather than the despair many experience .
Plod goes on about’ consent ‘ – but if it doesnt even try to preserve things which are precious to the ‘ indiginous’ majority –
What is the value of plod ?
After all – we have to pay for them to run away and lose control of fairly small demo s which become out of control because they let them. ?
The other thing , of course , judging by the reaction both here and on twitter – is the absolute bias of the BBC and its complete absence of neutrality – yet alone reporting – the violent disorder .
Now – a lot of comments on this site are ‘moans ‘ – quite rightly as that IMO is part of what it is for .
But there are a lot of clear pieces of evidence of bias by the BBC . And i m thinking of recording them ‘ off site ‘ for any coming inquiry – not just about the current disgrace – but also about so much in the past months and years .
If anyone is already doing this please let me know – because when it comes to challenging the existance of the BBC in its current form – it will fight dirty to preserve itself and all that money it is stealing from those still paying for it .

Fed,
Here’s another innovative suggestion all for restoring the UK economy an’ all that:
Withdraw gun control.
Massive sales, development/building of practice ranges, tuition. It could lead us out of many of our economic problems and some others, unmentionable.
More chance of subsidies for white flag manufacturers.
G
Having been trained on the use of firearms as well as jumping through hoops to get a s1 Firearms ticket in the past i ve mixed feelings about the availability of guns .
Watching the footage of a car driving into a protest in seattle and the driver then shooting someone trying to pull him out of the car – at very close range- i wouldnt want that here .
On the other hand if laws wont be enforced citizens have a right / duty to protect themselves . ……
So it seems a sife effect of 2 months lockdown is a feral black population exploited or driven by the Corbyn Left to demand entitlement and victimhood to which they don’t deserve …
Similarly trained – military. Still shooting.
But what, when the police are withdrawing from involvement in crime in preference to nail painting and even when they are present – Statue of Edward Colston, Bristol – not intervening when crime is in progress. What then?
The Government are increasingly a joke. Will they protect you when a large black family come round to your house and demand you leave so they may occupy your property? What then?
Somewhat extreme example but, it has to be thought through.
Let’s all watch Minneapolis. See how disbanding the police will work out for the citizens. I predict groups of gun owners will have to step in to, at the very least, protect their own property. Even that principle doesn’t seem to have worked too well in South Africa.
Fact is, Marxism under the guise of ‘Liberalism’ now, knows no bounds so where next? Its a very big empty playing field.
Our Bill of Rights gives us the right to bear arms. Granted it says only for protestants but then, that could be a blessing in disguise because the biggest threat to us is muslim violence. So any weapons they possess would be illegal.
I think we should restore the right to own rifles and pistols and use them in self defence on our own property.
I have never been comfortable with guns of any kind. I never understood why some Americans kept them for non sporting reasons. But recent events , not in the USA , but here in the UK are showing me exactly why ordinary folks might feel safer if they have a gun at home. The police are withdrawing from the struggle to uphold the law , or at least certain laws and some politicians are egging them on. They don’t seem to realise that once this form of appeasement starts it doesn’t stop and we end up in a state of anarchy. If the state can’t or won’t protect the citizen then the citizen cant be blamed for trying to defend himself, family and property.
C’mon people we must invade BBC studios and carry out a ” Largely Peaceful Protest ” and take back our Licence Fees !
Our police are trained for the Multiculture. Manchester Gay Pride 2012.
Looking at this lot you can see why the police forces are just a shadow of their former selves….it all started when they went for the graduate recruitment system that allowed graduates to jump the promotion ladder without getting any real police experience….
sad very sad – especially for those coppers who don’t want to play the identity/victim cards..but just uphold the law….
I noticed on LBC news this morning there was an advert for recruiting these 20,000 more police. The ones that we’ve never said we want to pay for.
They’re apparently overmanned now, judging by the numbers who turn up to arrest the likes of Tommy Robinson and others. So, why do we need more of them and what will they be doing to us once recruited?
Revolting. Why don’t they just sodomise each other in the streets while they’re at it?

Classic FM minutes silence at 9.00 pm today …….
No more Classic FM for me then
We have snapped.
What is the minutes silence for, the fact that scum were allowed to trash our history, defaming our great leader that led us from the gates of hell, all the young men and women who sacrificed their lives so we could be free. They need to tell us which one of those they are holding the minutes silence for.
cromwell -why not contact them and ask them directly? I shall do the same.
I shall I just noticed their telephone no
Update….. I have just phoned them reeled off my post above, got cut off by customer service (that’s a laugh) I then phoned back got through to some bame who couldn’t string a sentence together, repeated the same to him who said it was for the death bla bla bla. I said oh it’s for a criminal 4000 miles away, I gave him some choice words etc. Sh*t I got the slight impression they had had a few calls !!

Might just dig out the PA and play ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ in the garden at full blast.
It might be nicely ironic, eh, Mr. Turnbull, Mr. Humphrys, Mr. Armstrong…?
I do not condone the actions of the Minneapolis police towards George Floyd, but to have a minute’s silence for a man who broke into a pregnant woman’s house, held a gun at her stomach and demanded drugs and money offends my sense of decency and reason.
No doubt there are those who say that he repaid his debt to society, but I doubt that such people have any comprehension of the effect that violent crime has upon its victims. In the case of Floyd’s victim, I have little doubt that she will continue to be affected by her experience at his hands for the rest of her days.
But whereas criminals are often provided with battalions of social workers and offered help from many quarters, their victims are often treated as an irrelevant inconvenience and left to cope as best they can.
I sincerely hope that those responsible for the death of George Floyd are brought to justice, but I would beseech anyone thinking of lionising this man to first consider his own character and misdeeds – a ‘gentle giant’ does NOT break into a house and threaten to shoot an unborn child.
So LBC have decided that the thuggish career criminal George Floyd was “murdered” have they?
Obviously there is no need for a trial, just lynch the (now ex) cop immediately. After all, he had the nerve to subdue a violent criminal who died of fentanyl abuse and coronary heart disease. No need to waste time on a trial there, just string him up.
That’s it; I am done with Classic FM, Global… the whole sorry shambles.
I put up with the daft ads.
I switched off just for the risible news.
Because I liked the music, and presenters.
But just now Alexander Armstrong has announced they are having a minute’s silence at the ‘approximate time’ of the death of a single person in another country because… ‘it is important’.
My grandparents were sliced and diced in Africa on a farm they built up and served their community well, simply because they were white.
Individuals, congregations and entire buildings are slaughtered because of their faith, and race.
From the MSM… nothing bar silence or excuses.
Screw you MSM. Screw you.
Just sent them this:
“Well, that’s it, after several years of happy listening – I’m off. This station, like the whole Global Group has become hopelessly left wing, particularly the “news” service, which is as bad as that of the BBC.
The last straw, for me, is the proposed minute’s silence this evening in “honour” of glorifying a dead-beat coloured no-hoper in the USA. Whether or not he was murdered by a police officer should be of no concern of yours, and your political feelings shouldn’t be foisted upon the rest of us.
A step too far, so adieu – I’ve already identified a source of similar music on line, devoid of political claptrap and fake news.”
Guest and other former Classic FM listeners and anybody else who just wants to listen to music and not propaganda may I suggest 181fm.com
Many different genres on there I particularly like the chilled out channel.Not sure what the classical music is like on there as not my scene.
You get one thirty second advert at the start then non stop music with only the odd ‘you’re listening to 181fm’ thrown in now and again.
Edit I did put a link but when I clicked it from my post it put up a security warning.Never had a problem on there and visiting 181 from Google doesn’t flag up as a security risk.
Tx. I still use the streaming from Switzerland on my PC, but the DAB in the kitchen should get this?
I can do without radio on the old wireless outdoors.
The MSM has pushed and pushed and that’s it.
I think it’s online only the fm bit may be a bit misleading.

Will try on my desktop along with Swiss Classics, recommendation from another a while ago.
Early days, but on DAB I have found Smooth Chill after surfing through endless gibbering idiots apparently unaware that one is seeking a music complement, not what you an yer mate did wiv dem blokes last nite.
So far, so good. A few dire ad breaks, but… top of the hour and no news!
And no news is the only good news.

I have lived in Bristol all my life – am in my 50’s – and am utterly sick of how it has become one of the preferred destinations for anyone with a far left agenda to “demonstrate”, yet again the other half and I had to rearrange our already much curtailed plans this weekend due to another rabble who have decided to descend on the city. For weeks last year we had to tolerate the climate change wallies on Bristol Bridge with their pink boat, screaming and carrying on whilst we were trying to work in a nearby building, then being harrassed by these tosspots whilst trying to walk home. I am getting to the point where I cannot see why I am actually law abiding any more. I have joined the Conservative party today and now intend to give them constant earache about why they are not dealing with things regarded as important by the vast majority of people in the UK. I am not hopeful and would really prefer a properly conservative party to vote for. As an aside, I dread to think what the statue of Edward Colston is going to be replaced with.
Whatever it is, it will be on bended knee to symbolise our obsequious abasement to the god of wokeness and to the mob.
My thoughts exactly, and anyone who even gives it a funny look will end up in a cell. I came into work today in the worst mood I can ever remember being in, to be confronted by an article by some one calling themselves a race champion ( my employer is a Government department) about how “we” need to be constantly re-examining our attitudes to race etc etc, a load of grovelling shite with the like box much ticked although there was an interesting comment from a black man who said he could not see what the aim was as there is legislation in the UK to protect people from every kind of discrimination nowadays and he did not wish to be defined by his ethnicity. I can only use my imagination but I would guess it is similar to how i feel when rabid feminists claim they are speaking for me.
‘…I dread to think what the statue of Edward Colston is going to be replaced with.’
Be reassured Daphne. Plans are in place for a large Sadam Hussein-style erection of Sir Lenny Henry as a father-figure with his hands cradling the heads of Lewis Hamilton and Raheem Stirling. It is expected to bring tears to your eyes.
Beltane,
Let’s start a petition (and have done with it) for the statue of Marx or maybe Stalin. I guess theres a few unused somewhere in the former Soviet Union.
Wokepedia page on Colston statue was updated yesterday within an hour of it being pulled down.
Interesting that it also gave the result of a 2014 poll to keep of remove statue : 56/44% in favour to remain in place:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Edward_Colston
Democracy eh?
thirstypak – we note that the word ‘democracy’ has not once been used by the rioters, even once. I think it is safe to assume that they are NOT interested in Democracy.
Cheers ThirstyPak, re Edward Colston
I was going to ask if anyone had any proper background & context info on Edward Colston.
What we get through media is MONSTER-ISATION & simplistic smear labels
The universal seems to be “the statue to the SLAVE TRADER”
So this evil guy INVENTED slavery, it never existed beforehand.
It was just him and his mates that have done ALL of the slavery in the history of humanity.
Before he died 300 years ago in Bristol he used to beat up 100 black people everyday
and put them on a slaveship where they all died.
Then before he died he put up this great statue to HIMSELF that CELEBRATES slavery
and for 300 years in Bristol it has been the law that every day 100 black people are led past this statue and humiliated.
Reality
– The statue was put up 170 years AFTER he died.
– It was put up in 1895 purely as a symbol to CHARITABLE giving
– It could have been a statue of anyone, but one of the Victorian guys reached back and picked Colston as a symbol to represent the dozens of historic charity supporters.
– No one cared for years they just ran an annual charity day run under his name.
– He never lived in Bristol, his family had move from their country estate to London when he was his child
He started his businesses in LONDON and always lived in/near London
Through family he did have a relationship with Bristol hence he set up the charities.
And for one term only was the Tory MP for Bristol
– What portion of his wealth came slavery ?
Not all
..He came from a wealthy family & his own business was importing goods from Spain, Portugal, North Africa.
– Only when he was 44 did he join the company that dealt in slavery as part of its business, he was its head for 3 years and was there 12 years.
He left it when he was 56 and died at 85
“Colston’s involvement with the Royal African company (1680 to 1692), it is estimated that the company transported around 84,000 African men, women and children, who had been traded as slaves in West Africa, of whom 19,000 died on their journey to the Caribbean and the Americas.”
During that time his brother left him his mercantile business.
I think in 100 years time we will be tearing down the statues to

STARMER: STATUE TOPPLING WAS “COMPLETELY WRONG”, “NOBODY SHOULD CONDONE THE LAWLESSNESS”
Sincere Suck Here?
I do not think so.
Gottle of Geer.
I would not believe a word this c*** said if he was a ventriloquists’s dummy and I was providing the voice.
Fedup (above) used the phrase “a feral black population exploited or driven by the Corbyn Left.”
I think it is the Global Left who are exploiting both groups to achieve their aim. They are just much smarter about it than the Corbynistas.
In the Blair/Soros model each actor has his allotted role to play in order pick up his reward.
Starmer the slick fence-sitter has been put in place to play the Mr Reasonable ‘all things to all men’ part, with his ‘consensus’ this and ‘consensus’ that.
“What I’ve been trying not to do is to put up rival systems to the government, actually” (LBC this morning).
Loopy Lammy has been created Shadow Justice Secretary/Lord Chancellor because he has a ‘skill’ for learning lines, which in the current climate of desperation to defeat Trump and Brexit has been judged to outweigh his obvious mental deficiences. And when Loopy seriously messes up they can always play the ‘race’ card.
The feral and the mad are encouraged to run riot when it suits to create even more division and as a diversion.
Are You Allowed to Protest During Lockdown, asks the BBC?
Answer: But of course you are, providing it’s for a leftist cause backed by extremist organisations that we, the BBC, approve of and that might harm the nasty Tories in power.
Now off you go and smash up some stuff. Have fun kids.

The latest letter from TV licencing is very disappointing . The catchphrase
“Are you watching ?”
Is on the buff envelope . I much preferred the sinister “ we know where you live “
One they put out a few years ago .
Sometimes i rehearse what i will do or say when / if some lady or chap from TV licencing comes around .
I d be so tempted to engage in a rant about the BBC – but then i d renembet is some punter who needs money so takes Capita cash to get some scalps –
So the answer ? Not one word . Shut the door – keep it shut . No name – nothing ..
which for some decent people is very difficult – but very necessary .
Mine came in a white envelope with a window for the threat.
It was addressed to the ‘legal occupier’ so when they come-a-calling I will just say I’m with BLM and the house is occupied in ‘solidarity’ with ‘George’!
(I wonder if Asda are ‘leveraging’ their clothing brand? Or perhaps it is being withdrawn ‘to show respect’?)
Amol has retweeted this.
The BBC is gunning for the kids with everything it has got.
I am seeing utter falsehoods on social media from young and old alike which, if challenged by any brave enough to try and bring in objective facts, are too often justified as being ‘on the BBC’.
Fake! Fake!
This woman is NO expert!

Boris Johnson: Anti-racism protests ‘subverted by thuggery’
Nice to hear some straight talking from Boris.
But they weren’t ‘subverted’: they were illegal and thuggish from the start, they were suffused with thuggery, they had thuggery written through them like Brighton rock.
The clenched fist is a universal symbol of violent revolution, and you’re surprised when it turns nasty?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52960756
vlad – ‘straight talking’? No, I fear it is Boris’ strategy for downplaying the significance of large-scale law breaking, as a justification for further inaction.
The more I see of and hear from Boris, the more disappointing he becomes.
Is he really so thick that he cannot see what the ultimate destination may be, if police get to pick and chose when they will enforce the Law and when not?
Your ‘Brighton Rock’ reference is spot on.
For me the bbc, on the other hand, are now not just biased, but quite beyond the pale: their manipulation of the news has been intrinsically dishonest in every way, and they have supported the subversion of Law and Order with a sickening enthusiasm.
All this bodes ill for the future.
Agree Fake. I too am becoming more and more disappointed with Boris as time goes on. I don’t why, but I thought he had more “gumption” about him than all the others.
Even when he seemingly tries to show firmness and authority, it’s usually followed shortly after by a U Turn and then shortly after that, a apology !!!
At least when Trump comes out with something the Left don’t like (travel ban) , despite all the howls of racism, sexism etc , he sticks to his guns.
This country, now more than ever, needs a real , strong PM to put these leftie pricks firmly back in their boxes !!!!!!!
“Gumption” = backbone
The BBC Jugend Wing is now acting as PR and funding resource for BLM.

They will try ‘but it is newsworthy’, but hiding behind a group of no-brained soy-boys from East Asia to push their narrative is not on.
GW,
My, my, times are getting hard for Soros he seeking subsidies (sorry ‘donations’) from the general public……………
A minutes silence at 9pm eh ? Let’s hope this becomes a national event .. Then we can dust off those saucepans and clappy hands and all come out on our doorsteps at nine and make as much noise and shouting as we possibly can 🙂
Do that now in the confidence that if any noise ‘nuisance’ complaint is put to the police they will not respond as they are busy painting their nails or rushing out to clear a path for “peaceful” protesters to get to anything those protesters would want to destroy.
I have just seen a video where the police actually move a group of people away from a monument thereby allowing the savages to desecrate it. Clearly, the police, and those who control this weak government, are on the side of the mob to whom they have repeatedly surrendered over the weekend
Here is a prediction. Both versions of the Football Lads Alliance are calling for supporters to meet in London this coming weekend to protect our monuments. I predict that both cops and antifa savages backed by the BBC will use force against these far far far right people.
You can get your bottom dollar , if one in a thousand of those lads even as much raises a fist in anger, in the BBC world, it won’t be “largely peaceful” ! !!!
Hey beeb, you forgot to show this picture of a copper with a largely peaceful gash in his head.
No, they didn’t ‘forget’. They chose to forego.
@Vlad “it’s old picture from far right demo”
.. is how libmob would dismiss it
It’s always better to give a source

GWF – I fear you are right. This is already a well-established pattern in Germany.
German Antifa are very violent, and will tear into any ‘right-wing’ demonstration with maximum brutality. The Football Lads had better go well-equipped, if they go at all. The pattern in Germany has been for the police frequently to take sides with Antifa, with the tacit approval of Merkel (if you assume the buck stops at the top).
The German governing coalition has created the favourable atmosphere for this by droning on about the ‘war against the Right’, because they fear the strength of the AfD.
That’s been all the cue Antifa needed, and they will shy away from nothing. There are indications that, while government here will not talk of a war against the Right, the half-hearted, wishy-washy approach to Law enforcement does not bode well.
So, Football Lads: think carefully. And if you decide to go ahead, go prepared.
“The battle will be a bloody one. Black and white will have no choice. The liberals … will be caught in the middle. In the end they too will have no choice – they will have to side with black or white …
Blacks will fight with pressure, leaflets, campaigns, demonstrations, fists and scorching resentment, which, when peaceful means fail, will explode into street-fighting, urban guerilla warfare, looting, burning and rioting. Critics will argue smugly that this cannot possibly happen here. Most of them will be white, blind to what is already happening, wrapped in cocoons of isolation and utopian dreams of multi-racialism, confident that white is might.
To these I say ‘Watch out Whitey, ni**er goin’ to get you!'”
‘Professor’ [sic] Chris Mullard , quoted in “Anti-Racism, an Assault on Education and Value”, ed. Frank Palmer, Sherwood Press 1986.

Ah those poor deluded liberals. You can bet that if they ever get what they think they want, they won’t want it because they won’t like it.
Newsnight totally reading the mood of the country.
He should get together with the unlovely Emily Maitlissssss – they deserve each other.
GW – Why, whaddaya know: it’s the diver supreme. I remember his hate-filled facial contortions of extreme outrage, when a ref dared to not give him his demanded ‘free kick’ (presumably due to ‘racism’), so his role now comes as no surprise.
Beeb now in full stirring mode.
Ohhhhh… I read that as after Mustapha’s comment.
You refer to footballing.
Twitter watch
Footage of members of the public in Westminster (again ) cleaning up statues (again ) … I’m surprised they haven’t been told to go home for spreading covid -or even more likely – being arrested for breaching the peace ……
Meanwhile some Avon and Somerset plod are claiming they could have stopped the statue being pulled down but were ordered not to intervene .
Who cares ? They’ve lost the plot .
Next up will be the next Islamic terrorist attack which will be described by the BBC as ‘largely peaceful ‘……
Fed – ordered by whom? We need a resignation.
Fake – well a ‘superintendent Bennet ‘ of Avon and Somerset police was interviewed at the time by some ‘community ‘ type . He suggested the statue needed to be moved to a museum and then finished the interview with a ‘wink’ to the camera
It is on Twitter if anyone needs to see it . He was wearing a ‘rainbow ‘ identity ribbon – which I don’t think is part of plod uniform yet .
Look – whether a statue should be in a public place – I don’t know – but plod should not be expressing a political personal view – including kneeling down ….
….. that crosses the line of independence and fair enforcement and thus legitimacy – might be concepts a bit too deep for them ….
So why is MOJ a guy from An emerging Qatari research university @HBKU making a communist style list ?
he says he is inspired by another account @J400SE wich is just a weird anonymous account claiming to be based in Wales
Newsreader Clive Myrie on yesterday’s Andrew Marr Show repeats the BBC lie that the demonstrations in UK were largely peaceful, and casually adds ‘and indeed in the United States’.
WHAT? Cities in the US have been torched, vandalised, smashed and looted, with untold numbers wounded and even killed, and you call that peaceful??
What PLANET do you live on Clive?
Oh, I forgot, it’s Planet Beeb, lightyears away from Planet Earth and even further from Planet Reality.
Black Lives Matter?

Some do, because they are rewriting it now and are deliberately missing out the bits that don’t suit them .
Saw #blockkatiehopkins was trending so i had a look at her twitter feed. Seems she was in disguise in amongst it all at the weekend.
Again tho, not wrong.
Really beginning to think Boris was “gelded” when he was in hospital for Covid 19. Step up man !! FFS

#CCBGB
Yeah, America is such a racist country where no black man will ever make it to President. Shame on you, USA.
The Mailonline has the ritualised empty noises from the PM and home sec after a nice week end off – stuff about ‘justice is coming ‘ and the like . Does anyone believe this stuff anymore ?
Politicians are untrustworthy at the best of times but when they are referring to the ‘community’ you know nothing will really happen .- but like the ‘border control ‘ nonsense ….. .
Meanwhile people arriving in the UK are meant to go and quarantine themselves for 14 days …. I bet this will be enforced as heavily as the law was enforced in Whitehall this weekend .
The MSM must be a bit disappointed that no one from the ‘community ‘ was killed or seriously hurt so that they could at least pretend to has a ‘domestic ‘ campaign instead of having to borrow one from America .
It’s as mad as the Dominic Cummings days ….. I said at the time that the MSM would go on about DC until something else came alone – I suppose the old race ‘chip’ is a reliable fall back .
What’s next ? Back to DC to blame for a second or third or fourth wave … sobbing /dancing nurses again ….. ?
Whoever takes the briefing tonight will hopefully chose their words very carefully and does not go down the virtue signalling route. They should take account of the British public who are very angry about this and it would not take much for real violence to break out.
:”justice is coming” for who? For the long suffering British public or thugs and rapists, Dont hold your breath.
Knowing this governments quick decline I wouldn’t put it past them to just plough in and try to pacify the morons with more give aways .
Lurch is seeing opportunity, or the light?
This is a quote from the peaceful protester that took part in defacing the Winston Churchill Statue.
“ Tagged up Churchill as a racist on the statue of Churchill because he is a confirmed racist.
‘He didn’t fight the Nazis for the commonwealth or for anything else or for any personal freedoms. He fought the Nazis purely to protect the commonwealth against the invasion by foreign forces. He didn’t do it for black people or people of colour. He did it purely for colonialism”
And they have the nerve to say it’s us that need educating….
The moron probably learnt to parrot that stuff on his Black Studies course at the Polytechnic of South Lambeth.
Nothing more ignorant than the semi-educated (though by now Oxbridge probably teach the same lefty garbage).
Hmmm – “He fought the Nazis purely to protect the commonwealth against the invasion by foreign forces”.
Hmmmmm – what you are saying is that he fought actual Nazis – as opposed to your mates in antifa who are fighting for anarchy…. and certainly not to protect black people…. ask yourself – who is going to suffer most from what antifa/BLM is doing in the US ? I’ll give you one big clue – nah – I’ll let you figure that one out – presumably your pea-sized brain could even work out that simple eventuality.
