There have been anti-capitalist protests every May Day in London for decades. That statue gets graffitied at pretty much every one of them. What's different about last Saturday that means that these dickbags come out in force now, but had kept them away for every May Day protest? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like we are going backwards as a nation If we think like this we will. Let these thugs gavd their day. We rise above hate and continue as we are leaving this in the shadows and the past.

Popular Post Stevo985 Posted June 13, 2020 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2020 There's a bit of an undercurrent in here of people blaming today's "protests" on last week's protests. Which is irritating at the very least. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I genuinely believe that. TBF - that implies that they understand that Churchill helped defeat fascists - yet they are themselves fascists. I think a load of scummy racists banned by their clubs with nothing else to do, during the period BLM was getting lots of attention - I think they just needed an excuse and if not the statue, something else... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as @DCJonah said, if it hadn't been the BLM rallies, it would have been something else. Even if the BLM rallies had been 100% law abiding and not the tiniest bit of damage had occurred, I still think the whoppers would have done something like this. It's their nature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree they needed an excuse. Unfortunately they were given it far too easily. Tommy Robinson lapped it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) They would have done this even if there were just black lives matter protests with zero trouble and 100% peaceful.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
