I note you didn’t respond when I asked before… but I guess this clarifies what you meant by “terrorists” before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm betting there will be none, or much smaller incidents. In fact the office is being closed and we're told we have to go home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I think there was quite a lot of criticism on VT of BLM for specific actions, tbh, despite there being some sympathy for their stance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desensitized43 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Yeah the Mrs company has just sent all their staff away early as well. They've got to have had something from the Police that it's on the cards tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely remember clashes with counter-protestors and a lot of fuss over various memorials being vandalised… but was there much else? My memory is failing me.

But I guess if something did happen they'd cop hell I think the public mood after the weekend will have shifted and less people will be inclined. A few hard core may turn up but unless they get critical mass they'll just piss off back to their caves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there were a few flare ups here and there. But it was largely peaceful and that was clearly the intent. Comparing them to deliberately vilolent racism fuelled riots is very very funny 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be that Rishi has and I have missed it. But as you are quoting crafty wank for a lack of press conference when Labour were in opposition then the same should be applied to Rishi Sunak. Labour are always held to a different standard than the Tories. Anybody calling Labour out for things like this, is an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some disorder, bottle throwing and a bit of handbags outside Downing Street. The vast majority of attendees were peaceful. They certainly weren't hunting down white people and setting buildings on fire, that's for damn sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I mean, look, there’s sadly always going to be at least one - and they’ve outed themself. Fingers crossed there’s room for enlightenment rather than the rabbit hole they seem to be in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rodders Posted August 5 Popular Post Share Posted August 5 (edited) arguably there's at least two in this thread. Common themes - wanting to hint at something but not actually stating anything, it's almost as if part of them actually knows what they are supporting is total garbage, trying to defend violence or make absurd equivalences with actual protesters rather than just being pig shit vile, vile, vile oxygen thieves that these scumbags on the streets clearly are.

I remember a bit because my cousin was at a couple of them. One of the days, BLM protesters were met by the EDL during the day. This specific day, I believe there weren’t many at the BLM protest I believe it was in Trafalgar Square? It was quite peaceful until the EDL showed up. After that’s when other guys from around London came into Central London to basically fight the EDL lot back. There was an image during that time that was trending of one of the BLM guys saving one of the EDL lot from getting completely battered 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
