Racism in Southern America..

Protection?

[Bjornebye]

Didn't Dave Gilmours son get sent down for a year or so for swinging off the flag on the cenotaph? 

 

I've said it before but 80% of people who will go along to these things and cause shit don't really care they use it as an excuse to indulge either their social media or get involved in some sort of skirmish. The real left are the ones you see turning up to stop the racists march through towns. People absolutely DO care about right and wrong but as with most things, others taint that by their behaviour. 

 

Yet again, the government will be lapping these headlines up. Deflection opportunities time and again.

Boarding up why?

BLM demo in London today and Fascist demo tomorrow.

 

What a time to be alive!

Yeah, probably is a fair bit of that going on; people shouting about stuff that doesn't really matter, just for the sake of shouting.

 

I'm surprised to see UKTV jumping to it, though.  Have any of these TV channels and streaming services actually received criticism for showing the programmes that they are now pulling?  Or are they just acting out of a misguided desire to be seen as being right-on?  Or (worse) a - hopefully misguided - fear that there'd be some sort of social media lynch-mob raised against them if they didn't?

Ash Sarkar took the BBC to task on this issue this morning.

Anyone know if Fawlty Towers collection DVD is uncensored? Tempted to buy before it's gone.

 

Little Britain and Bo Selecta DVD's sold out everywhere and going for ridiculous prices on Ebay. I can understand others being targeted, but these 2 shows were not racist as they took the piss out of everyone.

 

Madness.

I've long thought that Big Ben should be named Omar after the porn fella with the huge wand though.

Seeing them boarding up the Cenotaph. Well words fail me.

Statues of Gandhi and Mandela also boarded up, because the Fash are on the march tomorrow.

 

Somebody sprayed "is a racist" on the statue of Churchill.  It'd be interesting to see what the Fash would be spraying on Mandela and Gandhi in response.

Cant help but think they rushed that. I mean, surely "was a racist" was what they meant to spray.

Your limited with Gandhi as hes a lot smaller- you'd have to get to the point with small words really 

[Strontium]

Gandhi was a racist though, that's well documented.

 

Maybe it's time we stopped putting people in boxes marked Goodies and Baddies and acknowledged that human beings are deeply complex and flawed creatures who can't easily be pigeonholed like that.

Unless of course the "sprayer" actually thinks its Ben Kingsley- could be problematic

BREAKING: Vandals deface signs on Penny Lane

 

[Dr Nowt]

We’re rapidly heading for Richard Littlejohn “You couldn’t make it up” territory. Where any bigots already minded not to see the original source of protests as important/relevant can feel justified in hand-waving the whole movement away, because fringe elements to it are behaving toxically/anger has spilled over/people are opportunistically co-opting the protests for their own ends. Its the same thing arseholes do when there’s a proven false accusation of rape; use it as a cheap gotcha to diminish the credibility of women reporting sexual assault generally.
 

Shit like an episode of Fawlty Towers being briefly removed/amended - almost certainly self-policing by out of touch white executives motivated by the fear of bad PR/losing money - is as relevant to the original protests as self-indulgent Labour supporters calling Rachel Riley a slag on Twitter was to the ‘proof’ Corbyn was toxic. Thinking also of that Extinction Rebellion bellend who jumped on top of the tube and un-did much public sympathy for them at a stroke.
 

It would obviously just be better all round for the causes supposedly being supported if bandwagon jumpers didn’t do it, given the serious harm it will inevitably cause the perception of movements other people have given a lot more time, heart and soul to in measured fashion. Nonetheless, if the central message is a just and fair one, that shouldn’t get lost in the rush to paint some of the clumsy ways this situation plays out as indicative the whole thing is just political correctness gone mad woke lefty libtards acting out.

Apparently, the Lane isn't even named after James Penny.
