O/T Well it looks like White Lives don't matter.

[wrinkly]

How is that relevant in the UK though?

Our police aren't routinely armed, they're mostly left-wing and "manage crime" rather than stop it. They're more social workers than a police "force."

And if you look at the stats, white people are more likely to die in custody over here.

What stats?
More white people die in custody than black people - because there are much more of them!
Proportionally black people are twice as likely to die in custody as white people

Wrong.

"Black people in the decade up to 2018-19 made up nine per cent of arrests, but eight per cent of deaths in custody, whereas white people were 79 per cent of arrests and 85 per cent of deaths in custody."

Or
" Between 2008/09 and 2018/19, 85 percent of deaths in police custody in England and Wales were white people, who make up 86 percent of the UK population. In the same time period, black people accounted for eight percent of the UK deaths in police custody, while only making up three percent of the total population."

My best subject at school obviously not yours seeing that you like google.
Why should I make amends for something that I’ve not contributed to?
I’ve never used a slave and don’t intend to.

Did you miss the thread about the stabbing sin Reading or does that not bother you because of who they were?

We can relax, it was all a big mistake by due of the fact the guy ordering the banner was a Yorksireman. He wanted to explain the reasoning behind BLM and had asked for a banner. "Why T' Lives Matter"

[the_idiotb_stardson]

Let's be right flying a "white lives matter" banner over Turf Moor is f@cking puerile.


Not a fan of the BLM or the billionaires who fund it, to cause division and disharmony among those much poorer than them.

Divide and rule....it's so blatant. BLM and Extinction Rebellion are funded by billionaires.Nothing organic about these corporate protests groups at all.

You have to ask yourself why?
