/// Nottinghamshire Police said they are aware of disruption in the city, and officers are at the scene negotiating with a small number of protesters. ///

Negotiating?????????????

The easiest way to remove obstacles from the highway, and that is to physically remove them, and dump them in an appropriate place.

Seems strange that Nottingham Council are asking the Police to ban an arranged EDL march, but no mention of them banning this idiotic protest.

They should be shot.

[ummmm]

It's shockingly selfish. Black and white people risk having their holidays ruined for a protest that started in America.

That's a little harsh, it is such as you that causes all the trouble.

I didn't say killed AOG - there is a difference.

I am hugely in favour of freedom of speech, but this is abusing that hard-won privilege.

I am also in favour of peaceful protest, but that really only applies if the message is appropriate, and the demo is aimed at, and affects the individuals involved directly.

None of those provisos apply here.

For a start, ALL lives matter.

Secondly, the notion of taking a concept which has originated in America, and bringing it over here in this way is not at all helpful to the cause they are attempting to support.

And finally, the disruption of the lives, jobs and holidays of people who may very well (and who wouldn't!) support the ideals they promote is simply unacceptable.

The BLM organisation has not covered itself in glory today.

'That's a little harsh, it is such as you that causes all the trouble'

Says the man who advocated bombing a cinema full of children.

That's what I said Andy Hughes.

If you wish to draw attention to injustices in the world, upsetting millions of potential supporters is perhaps not the best way to go about it.

[anotheoldgit]

Gromit

/// I didn't say killed AOG - there is a difference. ///

And where did I make any reference to being killed.

Still say 'shot' is a little harsh.

[Gromit]

Zacs,
I think AOG was joking when he said
'it is such as you that causes all the trouble' .

[Gromit]

^ Or maybe not LOL

[Zacs-Master]

One can only hope.

Not 'Children' as we know them, but young executioners being educated into how to carry out their savage slaughter.

[Zacs-Master]

It wasn't really necessary but thanks for proving my point.

AOG - //Not 'Children' as we know them, but young executioners being educated into how to carry out their savage slaughter. //

Corrupted children are still children, and capable of redemption, which has to be a first option over and above slaughter?

Diversionary tactics come into action once again, when uncomfortable subject matter is aired.

I'm not sure who is supposed to be using 'diversionary tactics' - but there is a danger of the debate going off-piste which I am sure you will be keen to avoid.

They could each borrow one of Boris's unused water cannons and give them all a good soaking. Failing that just cut the chains and cart them off to be charged with causing an obstruction.
