Yes

Quite a few there so they will have to get a move on if the want them down anytime soon. 
 

I would imagine a number of those protestors are currently  being Furloughed so indirectly Boris is sponsoring the event. 

Generous to a fault.

I wish Thailand will open up soon, need to leave asap, UK is such a dump lol.

Ain’t gonna happen anytime soon. 
 

December is my guess. Especially if our lot keep dicking around. 
Did you see the sham this evening. Still talking about 2m when the industry says it will potentially cost a million jobs in the leisure industry and meanwhile in Oxford at the same time ........

I've been watching the Oxford protest, more entertaining that those briefings. The government are useless, these protests are happening because of their incompetence and failing to do deal with it.

 

Opening the pubs will be a start.

You probably wouldn't say that if it was your Thai wife or girlfriend, they are foreigners in the UK.

Yep good luck with that. 
 

I’m predicting Thomas Guy is on borrowed time. Millwall Boy needs to get his skates on.


Let’s see who wins.

Just had a look at wikipedia and invloved with slave trade, yep he's a goner too. Good game this, entertainment everyday, some fit birds in the crowd. One of the girls speaking at Oxford protest was really good, excellent oratory, powerful and whipped the crowd up with the chanting. Seriously impressed today with the energy of the crowd at Oxford.

Momentum is building, influential figures are backing them. The Police and the Government are bottling it.

Tbh I do think they have a point after listening to the speeches today. It's comes from being a colonial power and a third of world in our control up to 1947. When my 87 year old mum was at school they were taught about the wonderful empire and how Britain ruled the world. We are getting payback from being colonial.

 

These football lads are not going stop anything, especially if they are caught on camera being racist. The story is all over The Sun and Mail now, comments turned off lol.

 

Unstoppable force of raw energy. Statues coming down in mainland Europe too.

We did give it back, but I don't think they appreciated being colonised. We just happen to be the white British getting the payback for it. Our previous governments are to blame for allowing large scale immigration. I'm only here because of covid, otherwise I would have stayed in BKK, not much better there with all of the restrictions.

You might be a victim of xenophobia yourself being a guest and foreigner in someone else's country .

Think you,'ll find the British did a lot to stop slavery,a lot more than the USA and the myth of the civil war being fought to abolish slavery.

I'll take a little exception about that.

 

Remember your history. The British outlawed the transportation of slaves, long before they outlawed the owning of slaves in their West Indian colonies.

 

In the US following the civil war, during Reconstruction, there was a truly liberal decade. 

 

The failure in the US was that after Reconstruction the Federal Government allowed Southern States to start implementing laws that circumvented the 14 & 15 amendments to the constitution which were introduced during Reconstruction. In many ways the civil rights movement in the 60's was the 2nd era of Reconstruction.

 

As I said in a previous post. The British were the largest transporters of African slaves to the Americas. And while their fields didn't have African slaves working in them, thousands upon thousands of British people were perfectly happy to own slaves working in the sugar and cotton plantations of the West Indies and the Americas.

 

So maybe a little introspection might be worth while here on the tragedy you inflicted

 

And you didn't have some moral awakening , you essentially nationalized the whole slave business by paying people off!

 

You didn't suffer the trauma of slavery and it's aftermath because you didn't have slaves, but in todays lexicon, you were human traffickers on steroids!
