It was all they needed to turn up, it's not about statues of course, but unfortunately they were handed a reason, and here we are

My issue with LBC is it's all about ratings so you have shows designed to attract both sides with little balance in either of them....:fist:

Wasn't aimed at you. Loads of people don't like him, and to be fair, I only really liked him when it came to brexit because he was spot on. He's far too much of a superior centrist for my liking.

Racists defending a racist's statue.

It's fine to respect Churchill's leadership during the war but the truth is that, while he was a good war time leader, he was a repulsive man. I'd rather acknowledge both sides of a person then hide the parts of them that are uncomfortable to see and hear about.

These people are a good example of why hero worship is a terrible thing, especially when it comes to historical figures who were divisive as ****.

These are not the same as people who have had to fight injustice all their lives. These people have been fed their anger and frustrations by Johnson and farage, and used for their own ends.

We live in the UK, what lifelong injustice do young people face?

Sure is for those who seem think it's still the 1800s...

Brought to you by the man who said refugees should be allowed to drown...

Inequality has ended according to Oliver, so tell BLM and the gallahads to go home.

So what inequality is there?

When the entire group has literally been caught on camera chanting about how racist and proud they are then it's fine to judge. Plus, it's known that many of the people stirring up trouble with BLM protests are right wing people posing as Antifa.

A whole crowd chanting that they are racist is not a case of a 'few idiots', the entire group are idiots.

EDIT: That video was faked but the increasing videos of white chavs attacking people and basically looking for a fight are not.

You challenged me, so please explain to all of us why and how inequality has been dealt with.


In theory if I can point to any post 19th century example of sustained inequality then your whole argument would fall away? Right?

I'll just start off simple and go with the special patrol groups of the 60's, 70's, and 80's, that were known for dragging black men off the streets to give them a hiding in the back of their police vans.

So we have to go back to between the 1800s and the 1980s to find things for current people to protest about? It looks like a lot of them weren't even born then.

Said i'd start off simple in a way that collapsed your whole argument. Windrush? Is that current enough?

Yeah the Windrush thing was a bit dodgy. It shouldn't have happened. But it's also one thing, it's not proof of anything wider reaching.

If systemic and targeted racism can be brushed off as a "bit dodgy," then I agree with you, inequality doesn't exist.

So you get provided with examples, one you try to pass off as not being recent enough despite you getting blown up not long ago in another topic for failing to understand how a history of racism can affect the present and when you do get faced with a modern example that you can't refute, you instead try to downplay it as 'a bit dodgy' and make out that it's okay because it's 'one thing'.

Don't ask for answers for questions you obviously don't want to hear.

Starbucks Yesterday told staff
