It needs to be done by the Authorities - not either well intentioned peaceful people - or another mob of thugs (as Robinson's will be). If the Police have insufficient resources to keep the peace, then reinforcements must be brought in. Another mob of thugs will just make things worse.

Scully Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 1 hour ago, JohnfromUK said: Unfortunately these 'demonstrators' are no doubt from far and wide - will have brought the virus, shared it around - and taken it back far and wide. One placard read "I don't care about the virus, I don't care about the economy - I care about Black Lives". We will ALL be shut down again, loads of jobs will be lost ......... and people (including black people) will possibly die. I of course realise that not all the protestors will be natives of those cities, but if there’s a spike in Bristol for example, then hopefully it will be that city which bears the brunt of a shutdown. I’m not naive enough to think that will be the case, of course, but I won’t be shut down again. I’ve worked throughout, and will continue to do so.

Unfortunately I don’t think the police have any intention of protecting property. The chief Copper in Bristol said that they made the right decision in not stopping the protestors from toppling the statue and would make the same decision again. Unfortunately it sends the message that vandalism is justified in the name of protesting against racism. The same as it is with Extinction Rebellion.

Ahh bless, your feigned pseudo offended victim act don't wash with me. the fact is a known violent criminal has been removed from a country many miles from here, many would say good riddance,, others use it as an excuse to carry out looting, burning, and further violence, all in the criminals name, and fools thousands of miles away are emulating similar in the UK,,, there should be a test to join the human race.

It's a monument to our fallen, of all ethnicity, tell me what that has to do with George Floyd, or slavery, or racism?

Gordon R Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Quote no i had to handle plenty of situations and admit to going over board on occasion at events but i would never kneel on someone’s neck already restrained he was out to hurt the offender and achieved it Perhaps you could supply details of those events so that we can judge whether you acted properly. Okay for you to go overboard, but not anyone else. You say you didn't kneel on anyone's neck, but what did you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) I saw Priti Patel on television saying that the pulling down of the Colston statue was "disgraceful". Just seeing her re-affirms that she just doesn't "get it" and is as stupid an individual as I'd always thought. Colston's statue in modern Bristol is as offensive and indefensible as statues of Nathan Bedford Forrest in modern day USA. But Colston's statue has gone yet the plinth it stood on remains vacant. I going to crowdfund (and ask Princess Priti for a donation) to replace it with a statue of Idi Amin. Perhaps she'll "get it" then?

Maybe we should just let you and Clangerman decide which monuments can be smashed up? It would have been great if those pulling over the statue in Bristol had been trapped under it. Given the way we are living at the moment, people not working, kids not at school, the actions of these people today is nothing short of disgusting, it puts their families at risk, it puts people where they live at risk, it is going to add to the work load of the NHS, the police who had to be there today have been put at risk. But you are bleating about a statue of some fella in Bristol?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) Quote So what about the Cenotaph? What about Churchill's statue? That's a totally different thing. The Cenotaph remembers all war dead of all races. I have, or had, they are dead now friends, and family, that either fought alongside Indian troops in North Africa and Italy or officered Nigerian troops in Burma. And Churchill is Churchill. People that deface either are just criminal hooligans. And as for bleating about a statue of some fella in Bristol perhaps you'd best look at the posts that started the topics and others' subsequent replies. Colston is not the Cenotaph and he is not Churchill. Edited June 7, 2020 by enfieldspares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
