Better explained following your edits Nick. Diving about saying “virtue signalling” is up there with “all lives matter” so yes it pissed me off.
I can only hope this is serious for all the people protesting and not something to do for a bit because this is people’s lives we are talking about.
tbf it's one of the worries of lockdown, the removal of the ability to protest.One thing I don't get about people gathering in Hyde Park is that they are more likely to contract Coronavirus and the people who they are protesting on behalf of are those most likely to suffer medically if they pick it up as a result. I understand that it is 2 completely different issues, but I am surprised that this hasn't been addressed. Apologies if social distancing has been maintained at the event (but suspect it won't have been, as per beach tourists)
I have no problem with the kneeling, myself.I haven't made anything up. I said about people gathering and the Corona stuff. The same as when people were stood on a bridge.
I'm not going to say I know as much about it as somebody who has been a victim of it or deals with the struggle ever day but it kind of goes with what I'm saying. If I start kneeling down to get some Facebook likes or shouting black lives matter then I'm not helping anything apart from making myself feel better.
Also mega fucking lolz at this
“talk black endorsements, you can’t get much better than Obama.
Take the “my black friend” out of it”
Biden's career is littered with misjudgements that could be construed as racist but at best show he hasn't got a grip on race issues.
Just the other week he said that blacks who vote for trump aren't really black, I mean what the fuck?
You're right to say we shouldn't pretend he's as bad as trump but the group of people we can say are as bad as trump is minute.
I hope he beats trump because the man is a fucking danger to the world and hopefully Biden will have Obama to guide him. Not that I'm a great fan of his but again, compared to Trump.
I have a problem with the kneeling inasmuch as I can't get up again.I have no problem with the kneeling, myself.
It will quickly get diluted, but if initially it gets wide media coverage, then why not. And what is the difference between that and just shouting out 'I can't breathe', or 'walk with us?'
I've read that too, but I don't understand if it's true, why the covid death rates or even ratios in Asian or African countries isnt higher.One thing I don't get about people gathering in Hyde Park is that they are more likely to contract Coronavirus and the people who they are protesting on behalf of are those most likely to suffer medically if they pick it up as a result.

Hes rowed back from those comments *because he’s not racist* but agree with the second half of your post, my issue is with the “oh neither one will make any difference” crap and the lazy attack lines doing Trumps job for him. Like some of the Labour AS stuff from the right of the party. Just comes across as factional bollocks.
Brilliant news, George deserves full Justice!!!!!
If only she had done her job and prosecuted police brutality cases when she was the Minneapolis DA.Brilliant news, George deserves full Justice!!!!!
Let’s now hope the rioting and looting stops and the protests remain peaceful
Yeah it’s not come at the best time. Can’t defend the lack of social distancing so I won’t even attempt to.
Given the vulnerability of BAME people to the virus it’s pretty nuts. However given that there are 1000’s of pricks milling around the country taking no notice of the virus with no cause to support I think I’d let it go
I could be talking bollocks of course
But also maybe an indication of their anger. Protesting in this manner with a deadly virus they're more prone to suffer seriously from suggests it's something they consider more important than their own health.

Well that’s thoroughly depressing but sadly predictable.
Pointless talking to my wife about it. She says the protestors are just as bad as the police and she can't understand why the blacks are angry about something from 125 years ago.
She also says there is no point ever protesting, because protests never work.
Or the next time you’re feeling horny and Mrs Otis says no just tell there’s no point in protesting.Reminder of that next time she’s nagging you.
Last time she felt horny was 2004.Or the next time you’re feeling horny and Mrs Otis says no just tell there’s no point in protesting.
Incidentally, there were rumours going round Twitter that one of the guys in the bottom left pic was a student at Warwick Uni. They have investigated and have robustly stated that there is no connection between them and the University.

Yup.Haven’t you already told us your wife is racist several times? Couldn’t give a fuck what she says to be honest.
And homophobic while we are at it.
Warwick - Come for rapists, stay for the racistHad to field a few emails this week from people raging that two Snapchat goons in the picture further up had offers for Warwick in September, thankfully to confirm it was complete bollocks and they're not even applicants. After the group chat thing last year this would have been a hell of a follow-up
