Vive_La_Villa

Quite a few videos circling. Looks like some of the EDL guys got a beating.

I’m sorry.

Oh well. I had a good run. Alcohol is evil. Take care villa talkers.

True. But that excuse works both ways. A lot of ‘BAME’ people want to fight these words removed and will wind them up to instigate that.

The wink was because that’s the easy come back to anyone that complains about England. Where did you move to if you don’t mind me asking.

I honestly didn’t know Churchill’s statue got vandalised every year. The right wing gathered today probably don’t know either. Plus their main agenda all year round is Islam taking over the world, They can’t be everywhere at once.

I agree they needed an excuse. Unfortunately they were given it far too easily. Tommy Robinson lapped it up.

Sorry. Cause was the wrong word. Triggered is better.

I find it irritating that people can’t accept it’s a mindless few at last weeks protests that has led to what has happened today. These racist c**ts would have not have come out today had it not been for the churchill and memorial vandalism. I genuinely believe that.

The media attention meant they found out about it I guess?

Hope you’re right mate. Todays scenes scare me. Feels like we are going backwards as a nation

Is this from today? Disgusting.

I don’t think he said that. The attack on Churchill and a war memorial has caused this. Had that not happened the EDL nutters would have stayed at home.

It really isn’t. There is so much to be positive about in this country. There is not a country in the world that would not have so called patriots defending war memorials or iconic past leaders that served the country well. The country isn’t ****. But a lot of people are. Anyway if you don’t like the country, then you know what you can do

This is true to be honest. Whoever went today did so knowing what was going to happen. Seriously though how could anybody think people would just sit and watch a Churchill Statue or war memorials getting vandalised? Thousands peacefully protest and the world took notice. Then a few idiots ruin everything.

The fight against racism has united the racists!

This is the kind of thing I like to see. Where the real change is needed. People are getting too distracted by statues and tv shows.

Thanks for this. So would you say one of areas where changes can be made are the police force and the justice system?

Yeh I agree with that point.

But they wanted the right to vote. They had an ultimate goal and they didn’t stop until they got it. All examples of unlawful protests in the past knew what change they wanted. The injustice was clear. They demanded it. In many cases they got it. What the protesters want this time round is far more complex. It can’t be gained by any obvious government policy changes as far as I’m aware. More funding for certain communities perhaps? I may be completely wrong but it wouldn’t surprise me if after a few weeks of protesting things go back to how they were and not much changes. If it’s about changing peoples mindsets then I think that’s a generational thing. The youth today have never been less racist. That will get passed on to their kids too. But in regards to the here and now, If you don’t know where it’s broken, how do you fix it?

I’m still struggling with the end game here. Protesting is great but what are people protesting for? Surely end racism is way to vague. Nothing will change if it’s a few marches of shouting end racism and a few statues pulled down. How do you end racism in this country? As I said the protests are great. I applaud and admire people making a stand. But what change do people want? I’m struggling with that part. This is from a UK perspective only.

How do people feel change can be made in this country? More funding to deprived areas which have a large BAME population? More jobs being made available and a different selection process? Higher number of BAME people in management positions? These protests are great and respect to the solidarity with America after what happened. But in practical terms I do wonder what’s steps will be taken following this movement.

Was probably a one off. Was boring as hell but then again Milan had 10 men and Juve didn’t have to win.

Yeah that was funny. The p**i shop one I’m pretty sure was removed a long time ago.

If fitness levels are anything like the Juve Milan game I just watched the first few games have 0-0 written all over them.
