Keen to look like his starting something but infant posturing knowing it wont kick off and the other guys wont budge not easy to attack a target that stands their ground the guys clearly ain't looking for rows either.

People move out of London because of the stress of it too. People kicking off, aggro, often unnecessarily, feeling unsafe. White people, Asian people, now some black people, leaving the lack of respect, behaviour, common decency and morals. You excuse it all. You’re a hypocrite. Edited by Rudi Hedman (14 Jun 2020 10.12am) Of course, I don't excuse bad behaviour. From anyone. Criminals deserve to be punished.

Well good for you. No fascists in Cornwall then, just people arguing for independence Oh, we have a few. Racist Dave, the arch Brexiteer in the local pub, who holds forth to anyone unlucky enough to be trapped by him, holds views I would regard as fascist. He is also a very poor pool player. Strangely I have never once heard anyone in the pub arguing for independence. It's not a live issue here, other than in jokes.

Not personal really. So do the locals not want tourism then? The roads, pubs and beaches are full for a few weeks, this would be by visitors bringing s*** loads of money into the local economy, yes? My heart bleeds for them Don't get confused. Most people here understand full well how important tourism is to the local economy, although many would like to see it less reliant on it as it generally provides very short term employment taken up by students and the like. What folk want here is long term employment, like everyone else. The retirement community is actually much more important here than tourism as they spend all year long.

It’s a case of shifting demographics. Often places there were ok 40 years ago, like Croydon, are now sh@t holes, whereas places that used to be crap like Clapham are now re-gentrified. I spent yesterday afternoon sat in a park in Islington amongst a sea of shiny white middle class faces, literally thousands of them. When I was a lad Islington was either money or proper rough, Nowadays it’s purely the professional classes. The working class have been out priced big time.

With what's happening, and the black white division now I'm becoming increasingly colour xenophobic if that's a thing. I know its foreigners in the dictionary but ffs I wouldn't think bad of a person or be horrible to them unless they are horrible to me. I dont give a s*** about their colour, it's their attitude towards me that counts. I am glad to be able to agree with you. I loath the way people are described as "black" or "white". We are all people. Using these descriptions, which is commonplace everywhere, even on official census forms, seems to me to perpetuate the very problem that needs to be eradicated. There are good or bad people. Call them out for what they are. Don't taint others by association. Black lives DON'T matter. ALL lives matter. That would be a much better title for any movement which seeks to address racism and inequality.

That would be a much better title for any movement which seeks to address racism and inequality. All Lives Matter was set up as a counter to BLM. It has a poor reputation as it appears to want to degrade the BLM message I attended the Croydon BLM rally because I wanted to and was interested. My black friends avoided it for fear of trouble. I therefore also went as their proxy. It is just not right to stay silent on this matter. Especially if you are white and middle aged where I generally find I can get away with just about anything.

Well, no you haven't. This originated in you answering Matov's post where he said: "BLM are horrendous. Their stated aims are simply beyond comprehension. Destroy the traditional family structure, abolish the Police and dismantle capitalism. All stated in plain sight. No nuance, no attempt to hide behind platitudes." You answered with: "I took a look, for the first time ever, at the "Black Lives Matter" website this evening. Thanks for giving me a reason to do that. Whilst I didn't read every page I saw nothing at all which suggests that their "stated aims" resemble your claim in the slightest." It was then pointed out to you that indeed BLM did clearly state what you maintain that they did not in the slightest. ""We’re guided by a commitment to dismantle imperialism, capitalism, white-supremacy, patriarchy and the state structures", You can at least admit that you were wrong in saying that BLM do not have the agenda that Matov highlighted. You should also have the guts to comment on their agenda and say which parts of it you support and which parts you oppose (if any). Edited by georgenorman (14 Jun 2020 10.38am) Let me spell it out for you. I have no interest in "Black Lives Matter", so no opinion on their aims etc. I believe it to be a misplaced concept which perpetuates a problem rather than solving it. There is a problem, but this is not the answer.
