Shocking scenes in Bristol tonight

The current cabinet were selected because they would give unconditional support to Johnson in return for the same.

It's no surprise that, Gove aside, they are all monumentally stupid and ill suited to the jobs they have. Masks the incompetence at the very top.

That is so patently untrue it's painful. Have you ever heard of, I don't know, the whole of human history?

Yeah, it’s filled with apathy. The violence yesterday has nothing to do with wanting to improve the lot of the masses. Some people just want to fight. That’s what happened yesterday. I’m not referring to the peaceful protest but the scenes that followed.

Disgraceful scenes.

The perpetrators should face the heaviest possible sentences.

You almost feel some people want to see more of this kind of behaviour, to validate their political views.

You do realise it was the police who initiated this by pepper spraying and battening people first who were stood peacefully - switch the news off, you are watching state controlled tv from now on

No, I didn't. Did you?

But I also live in London and know exactly why the BLM protests were necessary, and didn't swallow the nonsense that they were disrupting ordinary hardworking people.

No. I didn’t. If you feel the BLM protest was necessary, I respect that. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. However, do you feel the associated disorder was necessary?

It’s 300
And odd pages - there seems to be some good stuff in there but I can’t find the section about peaceful protesting. I just think it’s a lot of people getting carried away about nothing. If you are law abiding I can’t see how it changes your life. Happy foe you to point me to the section that says otherwise.

You have to be very naive to believe that - this is how the German people slept walked into fascism in the 1930’s by believing all the propaganda fed them by their so called leaders

It was a protest that was, surprise surprise, poorly handled by the Met. The disorder was, much like the Sarah Everard vigil, down to heavy handed policing and protestors not taking it lying down.

It all boils down to whether you believe the police, as currently constituted, are a broader social good. If you are a woman or an ethnic minority in London there is a belief that, on the balance of things, they are not.

the law at the time already allowed them to be arrested. This law change would not have stopped the small amount of violence at BLM. You need more cops to enforce the laws we have, not more laws that cannot be enforced in the example you have given.

So you don't like the violence aspect, we all agree on that, so whats your point, we shouldn't allow protests?

Fuelled by the media, controlled by who?
It is the political class that are the problem friend.

When you say “small amount of violence” you do realise it cost the capital somewhere in the region of £15million, how can that in anyway equate with small. That is exactly the type of waste and nonsensical behaviour I am against. If your beloved protesters can do so without those side effects then I’m all in but they have proved time and time again that they cannot.
