As bad as last week then. Total dicks on both sides here, all I was saying is that it wasn't a surprise that counter demonstrators would turn up today, I'm just surprised that it was full of hooligans.
Really? you were 'surprised'? i find that odd as you seemed to have your finger on the pulse when slagging off the BLM movement all last week.
 
The state of those cunts yesterday, worryingly, a lot of them will be Fathers and raising their kids to be braindead, just like them ffs

I'm not slagging off the BLM movement at all, great cause but hijacked by thugs last weekend. It's just how far it all goes now with regards to how the British public view it all. It puts the police's position in a real mess, they will be too scared to arrest any black person no matter how serious the crime for fear of being called racist.
 
I don’t know why people are making this far left vs far right. The BLM wasn’t organised by the far left and the thought process behind it was equality. Unfortunately, a minority of violent people ruined it for the larger cause. The protest today was organised by tommy Robinson I believe, with members from bnp, edl and Britain first showing up, very different situations.
true.

Fear of being called racists? The evidence would suggest that is not true.
  • There were 675,461 arrests in 2017/18, a fall of 9% on the previous year
  • Black people were over 3 times as likely to be arrested as White people – there were 35 arrests for every 1,000 Black people, and 10 arrests for every 1,000 White people
  • Overall, men were 6 times as likely to be arrested as women – there were 22 arrests for every 1,000 men, and 4 arrests for every 1,000 women
  • Black women were more than twice as likely to be arrested as White women – there were 7 arrests for every 1,000 Black women, and 3 arrests for every 1,000 White women
