The police here in Bristol, as much as anywhere, have been captured by the woke nonsense. They are the same people that bent the knee to BLM. It's all pandering nonsense.

I am 100% open to dialogue and understanding, but that ofc relies on both parties to come into it with honesty and good faith, which is something that the grievance culture of the 'left' will never do.

I am a white guy and I live in a very diverse neighbourhood in Bristol and can honestly say that I have received way more racism than I have ever seen towards others
