It's time for the UK government to speak about Blacklivesmatter
 

They need to stop licking Trumps ass and condemn him for his behaviours as well as supporting the cause

If that happens I'll dance a jig in the nip, we are inextricably linked to trump and the new world order.

We have our own country to run and leave others to run theirs.

Ridiculous

Yes because abuse towards black people only happens in the US

You're mental. You supported the xenophobic brexit to make money for Boris, his russians, and his billionaires, and now you expect them to speak out against the country that's willing to give us a terrible trade deal and have access to our NHS?

Elections and votes have consequences, Adam. Welcome to the party.

Brexit wasnt about Race for me

Labour mentioned it today
talking to Hancock MP

And welcome to the real world of those results. We're beholden to the US now and rendered unable to criticise them, because we're screwed.

Taking back control? Controlling our borders? Not wanting them europeans making our laws? Spot the subtlety flowing through those empty slogans.

It's about following our own rules and not the rules of people who line their pockets with the money

Taking back control then? Making our own laws then? Not trusting "the other" then? The EU was taking our money?

Where did you get the impression that we didn't have all the powers we needed before Brexit?

Come on, have a think...

I understand you and I am not having a go when I say this but people who voted for Brexit have made us Trump's bitch. If he turned on us we would be absolutely screwed.

We have very little maneuverability since coming put of the EU sadly.

By forcibly uncoupling ourselves from the EU we're left with no choice but to maintain a (very) friendly relationship with the US, and currently, because he is a totalitarian nightmare, that menas not upsetting Trump for any reason. If you voted for Brexit, whether you realised it or not, that IS what you voted for. We don't get to abandon unilateral free trade with the EU and then also stand up to the POTUS. If you ever thought we could, just to be completely blunt, you did not fully understand what you were voting for. Britain is a small land mass with a large population. We are not self-sufficient.

It'll never happen, Brexit has made us to dependant on the US. Brexiters deluded themselves into thinking that we'd get 'Independence' but all we've really done is basically put ourselves at the US' mercy.

We've escaped the 'evil EU' to become the 51st state.

The UK is no better than the US. Racism and police brutality exist here, and in every country.

The PM we needed, but didn’t deserve.

I still dont think he was the right man, Now if labour elected Lisa Nandy that would have been great

Has there been condemnation from any European leaders yet?

UK Government is currently dealing with the situation in Hong Kong, maybe another country could step up for now?

I dont think any Europeans have but I know China anf Iran did but that shouldn't shock you

Weren’t they trolling :laugh:

Tbh I dont think they were, they want Trump out and will do anything to do so even if it means saying things they themselves dont believe in

You think racism isn’t a serious problem in the UK?

The UK should address any racism that is the UK, not spend the bandwidth talking about other continents.

I agree to an extent, global governments could express their support by committing (and seriously, not lipservice) to tackling racism "at home", but let's face it... they're not going to. We had our own riots less than 10 years ago for identical reasons; the issue was dismissed as "greedy thugs and animals".
