Am i the only one who thinks the 'black lives matter' march here in the UK a little pointless? They marched on westminster yesterday in response to the two black folk who were recently shot and killed in the US within a space of a month....

"By these people coming here to stand and unite, they are showing that they are against police brutality and that's the most important thing."
and whats Westminister going to do? disarm every police officer in the UK?

I think its great that people want to show their support for whats happened but its not something that happened on British Soil so I have no idea what they hope to achieve by staging a march.

*in the space of 48 hours

I got the impression that british police are nice people and do good community outreach, unlike many notorious police departments in the US, so yes i'm a little stumped as well as to their purpose. I mean, plenty of cases of excessive force used by police in the UK but none of those cases involved blatant racial discrimination against black people...so instead of "black lives matter" maybe, for once, "ALL lives matter" would have been an appropriate slogan for them.

Also it seems slightly insensitive in addition to it lacking an actual purpose as it 1) kind of disregards what happened in Dallas last night, 2) DPD was one of the best when it came to community outreach and teaming up with BLM protestors over there.

Well they would not be allowed to march on the USA Embassy ( Because the Americans might think its being invaded and they would have to Send in the Marines to rescue the North Sea OIL ) :rolleyes:o_O

well wouldn't that be just classic of the big ol U.S.A.

Well, the UK police are more sensitive when it comes to dealing with different cultures even though there are reports of racism from within the MET. But sometimes the UK doesnt do enough to quell violent protests or rioter's because smacking people over the head with batons or firing water cannons at them when they looting/stealing and causing criminal damage to the surrounding properties and businesses is too 'heavy handed' and people here in the UK love to scream about how their civil or human rights have been violated.

In essence, it is the public that have castrated the police force and kept them on a leash where they have to constantly refer up if they wish to take heavier action against unarmed civs. For reports of civs with guns theres a special police unit that are trained in the use of firearms that deals with those kind of situations.

the police force in the US just seems rife with corruption. and im not just talking about police making unlawful arrests and being extremely heavy handed when handling innocent civs then going to every business in the area with a camera that overlooks where the arrests took place, ask to see the footage and delete it. deleting footage from the people who are recording it on their phones or cameras or at worst destroying their phones or cameras all together if they dont confiscate them and make them disappear forever.

I think we forget how fortunate we are to live in a country where firearms are so restricted.

I don't think I have ever met an aggressive policeman in the UK. Stern, yes, but not threatening or aggressive.

Same here, the few run ins I have had with police either through speeding or drunken friends (Never me honest guv! ;)) they have been extremely lenient and never escalated a situation.

Time for the backpedalling to begin

The dust that has been kicked up about the British economy taking a massive dump because we were leaving the EU have started to clear and those instigators who were chatting shit and running their mouths about having to rethink their business model or taking their business elsewhere, cutting funding/investment and laying off a few thousand employees are slowly starting to crawl out of the woodwork.

The amount of FUD that was being spread pre-brexit was absolutely off the charts, I cannot even begin to fathom let alone quantify. Obviously its early days yet, but its hilarious to think that with so much FUD being spread that the UK would turn into an uninhabitable 'ghost town' where businesses cannot/will not flourish and the people live in constant poverty scrounging scraps thrown out from the back of restaurants or sell-by-dates from their local Aldi's

If only they did flatpacked boats too, we could build some and send all these homeless drunk poles and romanians back to their countries while they were still drunk and homeless.

After we get them to build it of course... My local wickes has about 10 poles sitting outside waiting for work.

We could get them to build a titanic then give them copious amounts of vodka and set them adrift heading towards Spain.

No offense to any Legit poles or romanians in the clubhouse who work and pay taxes :p

Oh look, another brave warrior from the degenerate school of futility kills lots of unarmed, non soldiers. Gosh, aren't these 'jihadists' brave.

Simple minded, morons.

EDIT: should add that these attacks tend to crystalise our hatreds but we need to recall that at the start of July the same ideology killed almost 300 Muslims in Iraq. This is not about Islam just as the BNP or NF are not about England.

Unfortunately the world is not short of naive people trying to inject some meaning to their life, or to show the world that they are worth something. We see that sort of behaviours in politicians, crazy bosses, etc.

I see there has been a coup in turkey by the Turkish military.....

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-36809083

About time - Erdogan is a power crazed lunatic. Kemel 'Ataturk' made Turkey the reasonably good country it became - a mostly stable, secular, Muslim dominated country. Erdogan is pushing it to a conservative Sunni Muslim slant. It is the military's job to ensure Turkey's constitution isn't cocked around with.

Too many mentions of the word "Muslim" in that sentence for me, no place for organised religion of any kind in the modern world, it's an outdated ideology that should have been abolished a long time ago and is setting us back hundreds of years...
