No that’s fair and thank you.

I have seen different perspectives however though including that factor in the percentage of crimes committed by black Americans etc which actually suggests they are therefore killed less frequently etc etc and so on and so forth. There’s also this fella (black fella) on twitter doing the rounds apparently myth busting through statistics which is generally interesting but there are so many possible questions.

As for the tad racist thing, yeah guilty was a wind up but meant to be a thought provoking comment too!

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

They just don’t get it. How they’d have nothing left if they let this go on. I think we all came to this realisation after the London riots (looting).

If your worried about wage stagnation and driving down of wages then the first vote for people who want to improve the minimum wage. Since 2010 there have been 7 prosecutions for firms paying below minimum wage despite there being over 5000 firms caught by HMRC for paying below the lawful amount, what are the Tories doing about that? If you want British workers to get a fair wage surely here would be a good place to start?

Again your reading things about me which I haven't ever expressed a view on, I find it distasteful that massive corporations like to 'woke-wash' on many subjects these days, to see massive corporations act like that have solidarity with people while still having business practices that fly in the face of many of these campaigns gets on my nerves.

Of course jobs for British people matter, which is why it upsets me now following the passing of the bill the other week, low paid/low skilled jobs will be solely filled by British workers, where as the higher paying ones will be able to be filled by foreign nationals, shouldn't we strive for British people to be able to fill these roles?

Thanks for the heads up. It makes for comical reading considering. The very first post from W12, a stark "Have to say watching these riots fills me with hope" [Link]

Multiple fatalities, 1000 police injured. Such hope. I wonder what response saying something as nuts as that on here now would receive? Not all attacks on law enforcement are created equal apparently.

That is a valid point. More than willing to concede that I to also cheered, and will continue you to do so, the Yellow Jackets but what does that make us all? Ultimately hypocrites?

And perhaps shows how divided we all ultimately are? Perhaps now beyond the point of no return?

This is the point. Perhaps there truly has to be some kind of more formal separation between those who wish to live in a Progressive society and those who do not. And whilst there was some looting and destruction of property on those Yellow Jacket protests, I cannot recollect the wide scale and night after night destruction we are witnessing in the US at the moment. With the YJ's maintaining their momentum for well over a year.

The yellow jackets were driven by an anger because many were struggling to be able to afford to drive their kids to school. In the US they are rioting because a cop has been charged with murder.

Here in the UK, we have a political system that sort to cover up the systematic sexual and emotional abuse of teenage (and younger in some cases) white girls, many from the most vulnerable backgrounds. With many on the left, who are surprisingly vocal about events over 5,000 miles away, at best grudging in their acknowledgement of what happened and the cover-ups around that. Worse than cover ups in some cases. Actual collusion. Still they were only white trash? What did they matter?

Did the wider white population riot because of that? Did we loot shopping centres up and down the country? No. Even when it is being exposed week after week, month after month. But somehow we are the 'privileged' ones meant to bow down and ask for forgiveness?

Until the last few days I genuninely thought that perhaps we could all muddle along together. That ultimately we all had the power at the ballot box to change that. Not a perfect system but ultimately the one that probably gets more right than it does wrong. But seeing these campaigns to raise funds to bail out rioters. To free people who have attacked shops and homes and who have left people in coma's for the crime of trying to defend themselves? No. Lines crossed.

I have seen nobody defending what that cop did. And he will be tried and probably spend the rest of his life inside jail. Yet that is not enough for many on the Left. They want to place collective blame on hundreds of millions of others because they share the same skin colour. Out of interest if this had been a black cop would you lefties have been so outraged? So keen to defend the mayhem?

Or is skin colour the primary concern for you?

The irony has passed you by totally. You even took my post out of context. Just by explaining how easy it was to do that. Do you see what I meant now.
