Can see some serious problems happening in London this weekend, Police asked people to stay away
but that was soon ignored,demonstrators from both sides are gathering and all hell might break loose.
Hope I am wrong but feelings are very strong on both sides.Really was not a good idea to allow demos
at the moment.

Can understand people who have relatives lost in the war and their names inscribed on memorials
getting pissed off when they are desecrated,a lot of people are there just to protect them.

Churchill was only doing what he had to do at the time, and that was to win a war. You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs along the way. He should be remembered for the positives, not the handful of negatives.
I doubt he'd want a load of mouth-breathing neanderthal right-wing scum defending his statue during a pandemic though.

What the protesters seem to forget is that if Churchill hadn't stood against Hitler and the Nazi's they wouldnt have the right to protest as we would all be living in a society similar to North Korea.
Thats what pisses me off most in all this, it is being hijacked by people who revel in the thought of pure anarchy and don't want to follow either the rule of law or the process of democracy - I would be very surprised if the majority of the BLM hierarchy in the UK are not intertwined with Momentum and the hard left of Labour and as they lost the election they see this as a way of getting what they want.

The police and Government are approaching this in the right way, trying to let people have their say peacefully, but what can you do when people purposefully go out looking for aggravation? They should start ID-ing them and taking their driving license and benefits off them. Dish out some fines and jail sentences as well, or inform their employers.

Had to scroll pretty far down on that tabloid to find that image of black people attacking a white person.
Most earlier pics were describing how wonderful the anti-blm group behaved themselves.
But maybe you just picked one at random.

Violent right-wing thugs 'defending' Churchill's statue whilst making Nazi salutes and attacking the police was certainly an interesting look.
Meanwhile the BLM protests were generally peaceful and respectful.

Why would ANYONE want a statue of a person who did disgusting things to people cause of color of there skin, used as slaves I get it its history, But there is no reason what so ever to still have these disgusting statues around, By keeping them it shows that what happens in the past was okay, and by having a statue of someone its cause of the of the amazing things thy have done for there city ect, Why anyone thinks keeping a statue of someone who has such a vile cruel past to people even if they did "good things" is acceptable then you make me sick cause that is not a country I want to live in

Someone else posted this, but I was watching it and it happened the way they said. The BBC is getting more and more pathetic daily
At about 6pm the BBC were showing live footage from a drone of people attacking the police while someone was on the ground being detained by officers. The commentary was going on about right wing demonstrators being dispersed by the police and the demonstration had only been allowed to go ahead because the demonstrators agreed to end it at 5pm. When the drone zoomed in it showed all the demonstrators attacking the police were black and gradually the BBC commentary changed from right wing demonstrators attacking the police to Black Lives Matter demonstrators demonstrating against police brutality and the killing of George Floyd. So in a matter of minutes the BBC report of the same incident turned from Right Wing supporters attacking the police to Black Lives Matter supporters demonstrating! No mention of the police being attacked.

Somebody asked a few posts back if the media should stop reporting on this.
The obvious answer is 'no, never!' because its a serious situation and hate of any sort is wrong.
Let me suggest however that without the media focus dissipating, racism and the violent protests will never be eradicated and fuel not just the violent minority but everybody's perception.
The media are a huge part of the problem and cause more harm and fuel more hatred than if they chose to be a bit more selective or report in a different way.
Perception is Reflection - What you see, watch and discuss moulds your daily interactions and influences your thoughts and thought processes. My feelings and emotions and reflection is one that racism is very alive and we are in a society that is unequal lately because of the media focus but is that really true?
Are things really that bad? Not for me they are not. I dont see it and refuse to think i live in a society full of hate and am surrounded by right wing, left wing, ethnic gangs etc etc.
The people that surround me are not like that but following all of this media coverage and protests are we all thinking like we did before all of this?
The media are responsible for most of the issues.
If racism is not recognised daily and not reflected on then the perception is one that all is ok. Without this perception that the problems are nationwide when they are not or colour biased when they are not then we stand a chance.
I also put it to you that our daily interactions with brothers and sisters from other colours or culture, consciously or subconsciously, are influenced by the media making mountains out of molehills.
Not trying to say we should not all be upset or angry by what happened but dont let them change your perception of what human beings are really like.
Generally all out to enjoy themselves and be happy not angry and jumping on bandwagons like the media machine fuels.

Somewhere along the line the BBC have successfully completed a human clone process; unfortunately they picked that paragon of virtue, Owen Jones, as the test subject and replicated his selective, pre-determined, outrage.

The media should always report anything in the public interest. Always.
That being said the bbc for example is no longer used for news it’s now more of a propaganda tool pushing one side in a obviously biased way.
what the bbc have been doing for years now is peddle dangerous rhetoric actually fuelling hate and division across the nation.
and with tensions already frayed it’s a disgusting use of so called media and news.

Saw the pic on twtter,I didnt post it because it appeared to be blacks attacking whites,if it had been the other way round I would still have posted, it was just a vivid image of what the UK is reduced to and what can only
be described pure hatred between some members of our population.
Got to say the media is very biased about what they showed from yesterdays demos.
Personally, worried by a widespread view that people living today are all saints, morally pure and therefore morally justified in judging everybody who lived in the past. In a 100 years time, we will also be judged because - let's face it - we have also got things wrong - we are f**king up the climate for one thing. So, let's not be hypocrites about the past. Having said that, I don't know why statues go up at all. Mostly, it's the establishment who makes these decisions and, often, they tend to put up statues of their own kind. Ordinary people don't normally have a say. There are exceptions - statues, say, of great sportsmen or people who worked for charity but personally I would be happy to see most of the statues (people on horseback etc) being removed.

Like someone posted about Churchill, sometimes you have to break eggs to achieve a greater objective,
he wasnt perfect but more than deserved to have statues erected in his honour.
My Grandfather was a war hero in WWI and won the military medal for valour in the field.His brother lasted
2 weeks before getting killed aged 18 and if I thought anyone was desecrating his grave or a monument
with his name on I would not be responsible for my actions,Fraid the younger generations have no idea
whatsoever what they had to endure to free the world of real injustice, pure evil and racism in its worse form.
Makes these stupid demos looks so pathetic.

As it has been pointed out many times, nobody is without blame in the past. The decisions that were made during the war were decisions that weren't easy and had consequences but what would have happened if Churchill hadn't stood up to Hitler? Remember the 6 million Jews that died, the many thousands of dissenters that were murdered, the Roma's, the Slavs, how many more would have died if Churchill hadn't put up a barrier to the Nazi's?
Britain was virtually alone for 2 years in the war, Churchill was the driving force behind the countries resistance. If this hadn't had happened, if the events of 1943 hadn't happened, what would have been the eventual toll of the German ethnic cleansing? 100 Million, maybe more. Did Churchill's decision mean an earlier end to the war, perhaps saving many more millions of lives?
You put out this sound bite with no context of the circumstances surrounding it, which is what you generally do to try and put across your anti British point of view. Try looking at the bigger picture, if you can take your blinkers off for long enough.
You are showing your hatred of a man who saved millions of lives, you have shown in the past that you have the desire for a German run Europe with Britain toeing the line, maybe deep down you have a regret that the events of 1939 - 1945 didnt turn out differently and your dream utopia of a German dominated United States of Europe would have been realised......

Is this the peace you are pointing to?
The BLM movement, while correct, was confiscated by the extreme left like all the previous movements that started rightly and factually, like Occupy Wall Street, Resist, Metoo etc. It is obvious now that the world views are forcefully reshaped, having the guts to disagree or be against comes with major uproar and likely be fired. The trained agitators and the extremely biased msm are very convincing to untrained minds, to put it mildly, and they achieve whatever their agenda is. If you follow the money and who is funding the very aggressive vocal NGOs, they lead to one man and his spiderweb of organizations maiming the world from every corner namely, Mr George Soros. If you are sane people that put emphasis on reason and common sense still dictates your life and not get emotionally drenched in shady movements, in the country side there is nothing of this happening. Ever. This is why they hate the country side region, for how they dare to vote to how they dare to act. Unhappy in the current climate? Move. There is life outside the leftist cities.

Jimmy savile did a lot of good fund-raising and supporting charities and hospitals ect but now he is seen as a monster for what he did to children hes statues ect was taken down, There is no difference in these people who killed 10000s of black slaves shipping them over to the UK, How do you ever think that a man like that should be praised cause he did some good things for the city or for hospitals, Imagine if you was black and your great grandfather was a slave and was owned by someone who is now hailed and praised in form of a statue, How do you think its okay for that to be a consent reminder of awful times so many black people went through, These men was murders they was monsters and should not be honored in such a way, Its about time they was all taken down. and the Majority agree other than the far right thugs and racists imo

Wow, that is some heavy stuff you are throwing around.
Care to rethink?FYI, Berlin surrendered to the Russians. If you look at the maps and the developments of the last months, odds are higher that Russian would have been the prevalent language in today's Europe.
Germany had already lost after the Stalingrad disaster. The rest was more or less a "cleansing" operation by the Russians and Western Allied Forces. They never recovered after that defeat.
Overall, the history books are heralding the Normandy landing but little is said today about what happened in the East. But don't let historical facts hold you back.

Dunno which history books, but thought it's quite obvious where German world tour got stopped and had to head back home with "few" Russians behind them.
Normandy landing and Western Allied Forces were good to be there, otherwise would been Russian instead of Germany ruling continental Europe, but even Russian had huge losses, they also had huge population which you could turn as soldiers when need million there and other there.
Stalin himself wasn't really nicest guy in the world, so letting him be there alone would have been quite a disaster and one more war shortly (can't imagine that most of Western countries would have been happy to give Sovie Union that much living space).

If Churchill hadn’t fought back Hitler would have had free run on Europe and would have strengthened his forces . Maybe a few years down the line, 42 or 43 Hitler would have then tried to invade Britain.
Remember America had no intention of coming into the war at any stage , so effectively Britain was on its own.
Hitler over pitched by invading Russia but if it wasn’t for him having to put resource into his air attacks on Britain , plus the Middle East , Stalin would have had a better equipped and better resourced German army to fight against.
I have to say I completely disagree with you on this one.

You have to remember how difficult it must have been to carry out the Normandy landings, sailing from a tiny
island to invade fortress Europe,it was an incredible acheivment only made possible by sacrificing many lives
from all countries,we should be eternally grateful for that,not pulling down statues.

You were the one referring to 1943. I did not extend beyond that.
Shall we go further back, maybe the Treaty of Versailles that enabled the rise of Hitler? I don't think Churchill was a mere bystander in that, after all he was quite close to Clemenceau.

White privilege sounds so outdated and is just a lazy way of supporting a lame argument.
Sorry this might inflame the discussion a bit but humour me and tell me in what way the modern UK is racist
( police dont count, lead an honest life and they wont bother you).Everyone gets the same education,
health care, help with housing and benifits if they need them.You cant say the n word (rightly so) and any racial
abuse is taken very seriously by the police.
Sorry the post was in reply to Jamie

I’m trying to look at it all in the context of the situation at the time, not just 1943 but the war as a whole.
It’s well known that a lot of people in government wanted a treaty with Hitler in 1939, with the Italian government brokering the deal, and if they had their way the world would be a much different place today.
I agree that Versailles was not a good example of creating the framework for a peaceful future , but this wasn’t only down to a very minor role for Churchill. And quite possibly the events of the 20’s and 30’s in Germany may well have taken place anyway regardless of Versailles as other countries were experiencing an upturn in nationalism in that period.
I know you like to deal in fact Harry, as do I , but there’s also the context that relates to the fact and I honestly believe that if it wasn’t for Churchill the freedom we take for granted today wouldn’t exist and this is worth commemorating.
And we also owe the biggest debt of gratitude to all the men and women of every colour and every creed from all the nations that fought against Hitler as without them we wouldnt have our freedom, and the memorials to these people should never be defaced.

No doubt, the Normandy landing and following events shaped the future. That is why I said the odds would have been higher that Russian would be the prevalent language in today's Europe. I don't think the Russians would have simply stopped on the French or Belgian borders should they have gotten there first.
The Germans were already overstretched before 1943, but they had a few lucky breaks and admittedly some formidable commanders who achieved more with their resources than one could have expected. But even they had limits and that transpired clearly on the "Ostfront". Hell, the SS recruited 14-year olds from my village.
And, personally, I am very thankful, not just to Churchill but to anyone involved, especially those who had the guts to actually step out of the landing boats into a rain of bullets. Fully agree with you on that one.
@cncas2123 I haven't been to UK so I don't know if the freedom you talk about so proudly really exists there, a glance over Dailymail UK version reveals that actually is the freedom of the left - fist, one sided freedom with one sided dialogue. Daring to contradict the general stance is met by rabid dog aggressiveness and may follow one in his personal life, ruining it for having a different opinion. Is this freedom? The same rag revealed what has happened to lots of celebrities or people with a base that dared to say anything on the contrary or... very important this fact, staying silent.
They invented the concept of 'silence is criminal' and rigorously spreaded it, if you are not with them and their cause and dare to stay silent, you are against them. They cleverly managed to make all corporations, brands and whatnot that wants to sell and survive in the new world, to be on their side under the threats of finger pointing.
Again, BLM started out well, the issues they fought for initially were actually homegrown in USA and is due to their militarized police, but it was twisted so many times to make place for many other crises under the same umbrella that now BLM means a myriad of actions detached from the initial protest peaking with the demand for the self degrading act of kneeling. This is the era of very risky finger pointing and of the best emotional exploitation successful attempts since 9.11. I'd say good night human rights, good bye freedom.

I think that most people in the UK would agree that we have a lot of freedoms and we are very grateful for that. I agree that the BLM has been hijacked by the ultra left, they see it as a way to fight the establishment and get to their Utopia land of purity in thought and political correctness, and its very evident in the UK that the left have taken this over as they couldnt get into power via the democratic route.
This is something that is always going to be around in this day and age, the internet is a powerful tool and easily accessed and the PC police want to take it over and suppress any voices that don't agree with their agenda.
What we need is common sense to prevail, but unfortunately it appears to be losing the fight at the moment.
The problem is that there is no gov. voice to say, order and enforce loud one wise word: ENOUGH
Let's sit at the table and have a dialogue to hear your demands, it's not like the black people in the UK were hunted down by the soft police, quite the contrary they were positively discriminated as in, cushy protected. Instead of behaving like animals and demanding changes from the very people that gave them the life they live, the takers have the audacity to demand from the givers to change their history, or hide, or destroy it, because they are soooo oppressed :doh:. The year is doomed and the future is stuck in this year.

yet it’s ok to fire rubber bullets “which were banned in the mid 80s due to being deadly for public order Duties?” tear gas has also been out lawed and replaced with CS gas.
We also know due to this being a race issue it would only be as a last resort before FRGs and gas was deployed.
The correct answer would be to deploy a cpl of infantry battalions with batons and full public order gear,no gas no weapons needed and let them handle the wankers.
