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

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.

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.

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

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

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

You are white, of course you don’t know about racism, because you don’t receive it.

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".

To be fair to ol' Oliver there, he's talking about his opinion on what the UK government should be doing, not what any individual should be doing.

Though personally while I think it's true that the government of any country's MAIN focus should be on tackling the issue at home, I'd have much more respect for a Prime Minister who would at least vocalise some sympathy for the **** going on in the US. Total silence is really just tacit support for the US government's handling of the issue.

Racist murderers aka American police affects POC in the UK just as much as America, just because it’s in a different country it doesn’t mean that we don’t feel the hurt and anger. It’s been an ongoing issue for many years and the world has just about had enough

Why does it affect you? There's a whole planet out there were people murder each other. I don't get personally offended by white farmers being murdered in South Africa, because it's a different country.
