Why do the right keep insisting people protesting in the UK are antifa? I had never heard of antifa before trump started rambling about them. I don't think people protesting in the UK are antifa.

Probably the same reason that people wanting to see basic public order upheld and social distancing maintained are getting labled as racists. It's a sort of ideological fascism that forces everybody into little boxes. I'd imagine the vast majority of us don't want to choose, and would rather have black people treated well, protesters maintain distancing, peaceful protests, and the law upheld.
 
I must admit the staue in bristol I salute it's removal and though I am not impressed with churchil being defaced, which tbf he get's most protests, he was a racist fucker.

The Cenotaph though I do get pissed off with because it is a memorial and important rememberance and I beleive you should respect those that died, plus of all the things that will turn the general public against you and give a voice to the far right cunts llike farage and hopkins it is desicrating this.

I as a long time left wing protester dispare at the idiocy of some, giddy wankers

I mean ffs you are yards from no 10 if you want to graffiti anywhere along there jump the downing st fence and spay paint boris is a **** on his front door

Surely not too much too ask. Treat everyone as you would want to be treated

Plymouth fans protecting a war memorial.

Why can’t the protesters just protest the actual issue rather than be so disrespectful?

Mixed feelings about that pic. Sort of feel good on them, but notice their idea of 2m is as bad as the BLM lot. Also sad that the incidents at memorials yesterday have created two 'sides' in an issue about which there should not really be division.

Good comments. Pretty much what I think too.

Would he really pull over a white driver for the same reasons? This is racial profiling in action

"I'm not a racist but first things first you're a black man"

"I'm not accusing you of being a drug dealer but you're a black man in this area"

"I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't pull you over for driving in a different direction than me"

"I'm not a racist but I wouldn't have pulled you over if you were a white man, no"

Unfortunately that is the blatant jist of his whataboutery.

Oh he'll be fired.

Not to the degree it is in other countries. But suggesting sending Italian police to sort the issue when that country has a history of racism is just plain stupid.

I was more a joke about how they’re known to be brutal and I honestly never thought it an idea that might take off
An earlier reply in here was right you need to be really specific about what you write as some people might actually think you were suggesting bringing the Italian police over was a genuine suggestion
I’ll be more careful in future
