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

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

Ridiculous

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

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...

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.

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 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".
