It's a lowlife career criminal, not Mother Theresa! Jesus on a bicycle!

It's much less about the lifestyle of George Floyd, rather the manner of his death which has raised yet again an uncomfortable truth that in these times of fear and uncertainty has reached far and wide.

I don't support any violence or destruction in this cause, but I also won't take away anyone's right to a moment of silence either.

//I also won't take away anyone's right to a moment of silence either. //

If they want silence they should have it privately. As it is, we elect them to represent us ... and right now not one of them who joined this cowardly virtue signalling nonsense is representing me.

^ Like the 'uncomfortable truth' that a pregnant woman can have a gun held to her stomach?? The people who feel they have a 'right' to a moment of silence are supporting this horror.

[Mamyalynne]

Are they?

[daisypotter]

Yes, imo.

///Do they stand in silence when a British police officer is killed on duty? ///

Fire officers were despatched with appliances to extinguish a large conflagration started by a large mob of black youths in their own housing estate of Broadwater Farm . Whilst fighting the fire the fire officers came under attack with missiles thrown by the very people who started it and seemed happy to see their flats burn to the ground. Their mindless thuggery has not improved in 40 years.
A Police Sergeant and several PCs were despatched to attempt to protect the fire officers. The officers wore ordinary police helmets and did not carry protective riot shields.The mob gathered and enveloped the Police Officers and firemen . PC Keith Blakelock was systemmatickly hacked limb from limb by machetes and obviously died of his injuries. Several bravery awards were awarded to the sergeant and PCs who tried to save him.
Bernard Grant a Black Labour Councellor along with Dianne Abbot. Labour happily agreed that it was a victory for the black community and "the police got a bloody good hiding".As usual nobody saw nuffin and ranks were closed to find the killers of which Winston Silcott was one. Times have not changed much in 40 years except their new adopted BLM label. Apparently Blue Lives did'nt matter within the Labour ranks.

Retrocop, Winston Silcott's conviction for that murder was quashed.

[mushroom25]

// the killers of which Winston Silcott was one.//

here's one instance where the Shaggy Defence could be pulled, legitimately. he's not exactly been a model citizen, but he didn't kill PC Blakelock, and the appeal court agreed with that.

[Mexican18]

I don't often agree with Tora, but he is right.

[weecalf]

Boris was not there and matty and a lot of front benchers .Maybe
they did it in private are we allowed to know ?

[Mamyalynne]

We shouldn't be allowed to know but you could always write to them and ask them what they do in private.

[Old_Geezer]

Few were representing the public before the last GE either. Politicians don't seem very good at representing the public.

This sort of thing just encourages the bad behaviour IMO. It clearly should not be a governmental open display.

[Peter Pedant]

this is getting silly now
....I need a lie down!

yes and a rest from posting white supremacist threads
Bring back brexit - at least I can understand the posts and where they are coming from

[THECORBYLOON]

It was Parliament, not the government.

[Old_Geezer]

And you aren't allowed to buy some teas https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52978990

[Old_Geezer]

Government is part of parliament. They don't get off that easily.

[Peter Pedant]

// Retrocop, Winston Silcott's conviction for that murder was quashed.//
please dont let truth get into the way of a good post

I have no issue with people saying - kneeling on someones neck until they die is wrong
but ho hum, the whole of AB has other ideas

[Peter Pedant]

Parliament and not the govt
and dont forgt Beserk Bercow ( another AB bugaboo, so there MUST be something good about him ) championed parliament's rights before the government's

[retrocop]

I bet Sir Winston Churchill is looking down on the house now muttering,,' and this is the house I fought to retain democracy and promised blood,sweat and tears to achieve that aim.Let them do their worst to my statue in Parliament Square. It is no longer my honour to serve the country that it has become and the government that has capitulated and joined the same appeasers like chamberlain who would have this country taken over by pernicious gangsters and glorified in this house'.

[Old_Geezer]

On the contrary, I see no one who disagrees. You must have missed the point.
