I told you I didn't read every page and I gave you their mission statement. I also told you I had little sympathy for any organisation which, in my view, is likely to make things worse and not better by perpetuating the myth of "blackness" and "whiteness" being the issue. I prefer to concentrate on trying to eradicate attitudes, from wherever, that sustain that myth. The real issue is the deeply embedded racism. Why don't you give us your opinion on BLM UK's own fund raising page: [Link]

Christ! They only want any “outsiders” there when it suits them. I posted several days ago about the demographics of Cornwall in the 2011 census, over 97% White British Not according to the Cornish. They believe they are a race apart, with connections to other celts. Mind you there was a time when shipwrecked sailors, often with dark skins, influenced the gene pool, which can still be seen today. Don't let that stop you believing they are all "white" though, just because that is the option available on a census form!

Why on earth would I want to do that? What they do is up to them.

Who needs BLM when you have this! Interesting read Edited by Spiderman (14 Jun 2020 7.02am) I have never heard of this group! There are though those who think like this, though small in number and with tongues firmly in their cheeks. It's all good-humoured and intended to try to preserve a sense of identity. Which actually works pretty well.

Interesting read Edited by Spiderman (14 Jun 2020 7.02am) One of my mates had paint thrown across the front window of his car down there at the start of the pandemic. He'd gone back to his parents for lockdown, someone saw a car that they thought belonged to an emit and attacked it.

I prefer to concentrate on trying to eradicate attitudes, from wherever, that sustain that myth. The real issue is the deeply embedded racism. The problem is the black ‘underclass’ if you like, have no intention of changing. The parental issue will never change and the community either can’t or won’t do anything either. Whites who aren’t in the softly softly liberal side don’t have any sympathy for it. The other problem is some areas are so predominantly black and different to white people now there’s little hope of white people as a whole accepting the new inner city black people the same. It isn’t just about colour and isn’t about colour at all in some cases. If you want to distance yourselves from the majority with accents, clothing, behaviour etc, guess what, that’s what will happen. Why is it when I go into a jerk chicken shop I’ve experienced plenty of times some big young black bloke come in and ignore the queue but I never experience that in white areas? Because of parenting possibly although he wouldn’t always have been huge, but more because nobody in the queues he’s been in tells him there’s a queue. Or is it because there’s white people in the queue? The black families and couples I’ve seen up here exercising recently will fit right in. It’s people who can’t behave or prefer to be different who won’t.

Tis true but when they don't wany "uncontrolled tourism" wtf would they think of "uncontrolled immigration". We know Wissie won't mind. It's a free country. You can choose to live wherever you like. I used to live in Croydon, because that's where I was born. I even chose to live in Wisbech once but as soon as I retired couldn't get away from the boring Fens and it's people quickly enough. Too many closet fascists there for my liking. So come to Cornwall. The housing is relatively cheap and the countryside gorgeous. I had a long walk along the cliffs yesterday, with my wife and dog, between Chaple Porth and St Agnes. The sun was out, the views wonderful. The surfers were riding big waves. Lovely. Much better than getting wound up in London Parks.

The problem is that the most virulent racism is that between people from the West Indies and Africa and India and pakistan. It's not the problem. It's an example of it.
