just smacks of sore loser syndrome

couldn't beat BoJo or Trump using the exact democracy they are claiming to be "defending"

now trying their best to destabilize it using instagram influencers, celebrity and social media.

no rational person thinks its ok to deface a Churchill statue, or that these old films or tV shows now need removing from circulation, yet these whipped up lefties are putting media pressure on people obsessed with counting votes into doing their bidding

this will not end well
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Considering the horrifically sinister past that Churchill had, you’d have thought more people would be defacing a Churchill memorial.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
here he goes again

want to repeat your comments about burning our flag as well?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Feel free to re-post them. Was hardly anything out there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
you said it was fine to burn our flag, even you were surprised it hasn't happened more often

Has anyone actually complained about these shows?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, quite a few people did. The number I’ve seen is 180 so not that many out of population of 67m but enough to stop others enjoying the show
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeh, that is ridiculously small.

Hardly a 'movement' that is worthy of debate - just a bunch of individuals.

Crazy that large corporations choose to act upon something so small.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They’re scared not to act mate. Instagram, Twitter etc has given such a loud voice to so few people (which can be a good thing of course) that they have to adhere or risk being labelled as racist companies.

yup just look at Yorkshire tea

literally bullied by twitter into posting support for BLM

It’s just a flag. If people feel that all the evil done under that flag (and no, it wasn’t all evil) meant that they wanted to burn said flag, why cry about it?

Ye I'm with Robb here. I feel like it is more justified than many of the slave trader and colonists ones actually as Churchill was fairly racist even in the context of his time. The others are products of theirs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an interesting discussion (more interesting than Little Britain, anyway). I would say that, for the bad elements of Churchill, there is a lot of unquestionable good that deserves to be venerated. I don't think this is as true for the the guy in Bristol. I don't think we can colour how we view people's actions in the past with our modern glasses, but we can choose how we celebrate said people.

Tbh I would find that insulting if I were a serious BLM protestor, it’s clearly jumping on a band wagon.

You’re contradicting your own point of view here mate. Not to mention that burning flags up and down the country would seriously incite a lot of violence.

not one person in this country is forced to be here

if you don't like certain elements of how this country is run, feel free to vote for those who's ideas you do support.

if neither party matches your ideas or the general public then feel free to protest.

but to defecate memorials of national heroes and burn the flag of the country you are supposedly trying to protest to "fix" is just anarchy, insulting and shows that your agenda is actually anti the country you are in

can you not connect those dots?

Really is embarrassing to be honest and even most black people on twitter feel and sound really embarrassed and shocked by this. If anything all this is doing is making racism seem more stupid and a joke which is totally wrong

posted on 10/6/20

Like it’s going to the point of insanity and way OTT in removing old tv shows etc to the point where racism becomes takes on a petty PC meaning and laughing stock which is NOT the BLM’s intention

Maybe that’s what these old rich white guys want to happen and that’s the intention with the statues and old tv shows being removed

Those things aren’t the same though.

Blackface is clearly offensive and was portrayed on a mainstream tv show. People didn’t want it on there in 2020 and it has rightly imo taken off.

The burning of the flag was done at a protest where emotions were high - I said I could understand why someone would do that. I haven’t called for a mainstream tv show to start burning flags in the cold light of day (though the ratings would be amazing 😅)

You say Winston Churchill is a national hero. But to other people he’s a guy who has the blood of millions on his hands. You keep going on during this thread of a lack of freedom, of a 1984 style big brother future. But surely defacing a monument of a guy who has blood on his hands is freedom of expression?

As for this comment, after seeing the way democracy has been treated like a joke over the past few years, why would anyone even have faith in the system to deliver what they want anymore? Can you blame people for taking matters into their own hands?

posted on 10/6/20

Just makes it seem and gives the impression that black people can not take a joke or have a laugh and fully serious and even something as a minor as a black face in a tv show can be considered racist. It is way to OTT and gives the impression black people are super sensitive and soft and PC and can’t take any form of a joke, Which is not the case or intention, so again this is more damaging and does more harm for black people and the majority are totally against it.

Idiot companies are trying to go to far now to score points

Agree with this. But they are putting their energy into the wrong thing. Social and economic change is what is needed. Class before race!
