'shouts of 'why don't you go back to Africa' - this was Hoddesdon town centre yesterday in 2020'

Some posts I've read on here today are tantamount to that.

I don't condone this behaviour but I'm not surprised.

[ToraToraTora]

did they really think they'd not get a reaction from the last week or so of madness?

[Jordyboy9]

I am not surprised at this reaction,
There is more to come,
A lot more.

That is the problem TTT
Those who initiate the mindless thuggery and violence will begat a response but they are too thick to realise it, or ,as someone once said who's statue has received it's unfair share of vandalism. "You sow the Wind and you will reap the Whirlwind"

"Why don't you go back to Africa?" Aimed at a group of peaceful protestors, many of whom are white. And you, retro, call the BLM movement "thick".
Their chants of, "There's only one Lee Rigby" illustrate their level of intelligence and will no doubt add to Lynn Rigby's current distress.

Right on ken. Keep your rose tinted spectacles on it's going to get messy soon.

I'm hardly surprised, people can only be bullied to far before they react.

[Spicerack]

It is disgraceful. People protecting war memorials from possible/likely attack.
No wonder the police have been spurred into action, that's their job.

[Spicerack]

Refreshing to read 2 such well crafted and balanced reports.

[jackthehat]

Ah, the brave 'far-righters' and their determination to keep Ingurlaaaaand white.

They are an embarrasment to all decent white-people in exactly the same way the the BLM rioters and looters are to decent black-people.

[retrocop]

I can agree with two opposing embarassments then. Fair comment.

[Spicerack]

Determined to stop memorials being vandalised, shameful.

[pixie374]

Retro, you are constantly accusing others of being "thick" as if you are a mastermind, yourself.
Compared with 200,000 odd years of being oppressed, intimidated, bullied, enslaved, etc etc etc... and not being heard. Are you really that outraged about statues being pushed down? Look at the wider problems, even if they don't personally affect you... and it may become clearer.

[Spicerack]

Did they riot afterwards, Jack? How many shops did they loot? I must have missed that in the reports.

[New Judge]

Actually I'm rather more concerned about the quality of journalism on the "Hertfordshire Mercury":

"The organisers of the Hoddesdon protest have spoke out"

[Spicerack]

200,000 years? OMG. ho ho ho.

[pixie374]

At what point did this happen to white people generally, spice? From the beginning of humans?

[pixie374]

Ok, the last 2-7 million years, depending where you look. Although, long enough for us to have civilised ourselves since then.

ymf; I possess about 4 pairs of glasses and none are rose-tinted. (What colour are the blinkers you wear?) I am basically pointing out that, just as some have jumped on the BLM bandwagon for their own nefarious means, there are also those that will be willing to square up to BLM, head to head, so to speak, with moronic chants, monkey noises and Nazi salutes. They are not there to protect a war memorial (war memorials, per se, are not being targeted) they are there to antagonise those protesting. Obviously missing their football:-/
