Will they be getting down on one knee and asking them in a nice subservient manner to go home, so as not be accused of racism or anything ?....god forbid they dont kow tow to minority demands...

"but I think that any troublemakers will meet with a more robust response this weekend than last."

unfortunately shoota i very much doubt it...most of these trash are there knowing the police are scared to do anything now and will take advantage of the fact

That is a live feed from 'ruptly' who are independent of any news channels or 'establishment' media. Having said that they appear to be allied in some way to Russia.
What I like is they get on the ground amongst the action so you can see what is going on without bias. I watched them last Sat and Sun. I doubt the 'action' will be occurring for a couple of hours yet. The sides will still be forming up and finishing their sarnies etc.
You can see their footage of last weekend on YouTube by searching on 'ruptly london'

I’m happy TWT...but then again,
I always am :0)
Hello again

TWT //the police are scared to do anything now//
The police will do what they are commanded to do, and, as Boris has said, offenders will be arrested so I think you are wrong.

//unfortunately shoota i very much doubt it...//

agreed - but not for the reason you suggest. the risk assessment for the kind of event expected determines that "a brick in the face often offends" - so the modern method of policing is to let them do their worst, then identify the perpetrators from the CCTV and get them afterwards.

They're at it already.

[shoota]

At least the lads and lasses this weekend aren't in shirt sleeve order, they've got proper gear on and battle hats with them.

@ dannyk13

I would love to be wrong...but....

[royfromaus]

All rather bizarre really. The police have surrounded a boarded-up statue to prevent the statue protectors from getting near the boarded-up statue.

?

[shoota]

I think that is the buffer zone between left and right Roy.

[Spicerack]

^ Exactly

[dannyk13]

Why Bizarre? They are trying to prevent the two factions fighting each other.

[ynnafymmi]

@13.52.Lets hope none of the cops "take the knee"like a couple of cops did two weeks ago.....Much good it did them or their colleagues....these BLM fascists can smell fear.Meanwhile a brave female cop lies in a hospital bed.Those two cops should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

[Spicerack]

That was to Roy.
The police were ordered not to escalate trouble with the monument wreckers, ie. Do nothing and let them get on with it.
This week when veterans etc. vowed to protect our heritage, the filth are determined to provoke trouble.

[royfromaus]

It ain't no buffer, the ones trying to get beyond the police and onto the statue plinth have bald heads and shirts hanging from their waist.

I'm going to suggest these are not BLM

//I don't have insider information but I think that any troublemakers will meet with a more robust response this weekend than last.//

Especially if they are protecting monuments to British noteworthiness, instead of doing a St Vitas's dance in support of lives of a darker hue.

[shoota]

Totally different style of policing today. The horses are back and so are the dogs.
I wonder who let the dogs out?

[daisypotter]

Poor horses, I hope none get hurt again.

[daisypotter]

Pixie certainly doesn't speak for ME either!

Here is an opinion of a Jamaican posted in the "Jamaica Observer."

"Dear Editor,

I declare that I am a history enthusiast and I join others who hold the view that if you do not know about your past you cannot shape your future.

In the midst of the protests about George Floyd, attention has turned to colonisation, slavery, and racism. There are now calls to remove statues, monuments, and plaques from the public domain and to rename roads, among other things. Some radical voices would incite others to destroy historic buildings, monuments, and infrastructure, suggesting they are symbols of evil.

Jamaica experienced 468 years of colonisation and slavery. Were we to commence changing the names of places and removing monuments, etc, what cost would that be to taxpayers? We would have to start by renaming some of our parishes, Manchester, Trelawny; many of our towns and villages; and a great many of our communities and roads.

We have opened Port Royal to visitors and have been seeking to have it declared a United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site. A lot of wicked people were there.

We see Falmouth as an important Georgian historic site and tourist destination. A cruise ship pier is there. Should we now bulldoze it, as the people who lived there owned slaves?

Does Spanish Town no longer have any value because it was the seat of the colonial government?



I think we need to take a few deep breaths and engage in a rational discussion about our history and its value. We need more voices in the discussion and greater public awareness. We cannot erase history. It is what was. We emerged from it. It is our story. We should preserve it, learn from it, benefit from it, and write new chapters."
