Pity we don’t have a Candance Owens in this country. Or a Terence K Williams/Brandon Tatum but we have Lammy and Abbot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you have quoted appears to start from a midpoint in his sentence. I'm sure you don't need my help - feel free to post any of Johnson's quotes or sayings you want to.

Do you not think that black people are telling you what they think by taking to the streets? Or does it have to be spelled out for you in big letters?

Black people close to Trump in the White House how can that be thought the whole of America was completely racist and black people have no opportunities in their lives to better themselves.

Tyler Durden Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 1 hour ago, Eddie said: Why are you pleased that they are losing the goodwill of the public? Can we assume that you don't agree with their cause, which is to get rid of racism for once and for all? I would have thought that was a noble cause, and I'm pretty certain that most of the participants are as horrified as I am that their aspirations are being undermined by idiots with, I assume, their own agenda. Is that the royal we? If you mean can you assume then you're totally wrong in your assumption. Just because I don't condone the manner of their protests in the middle of a global pandemic doesn't mean I don't support the cause they are protesting about.

I’m pretty sure the vast majority knew that they were tearing down the statue of a slave trader. I’m sure there are plenty of other statues in Bristol that people could have congregated around.

I hear what your saying as the statue was purposely targeted I just wonder how many of the mob just wanted to vandalise something for their own gratification.

Again, I think the majority were there for a reason and knew what they were doing. If we were talking about smashing shop windows and looting the contents, I’d agree with you.
