Thomas Sowell offered another reason for people focussing on the wrong things
"The reason so many people misunderstand so many issues is not that these issues are so complex, but that people do not want a factual or analytical explanation that leaves them emotionally unsatisfied. They want villains to hate and heroes to cheer—and they don't want explanations that fail to give them that."
A lot of truth in that I'd say.

@Victor-Meldrew yep, because West Indian woman will do anything for their children right? Straight out racism.
I didn't think my views on Sadiq Kunt could go any lower, but they have. I cannot believe his post today talking about the far right violence. Is he completely unaware that all of last weeks' shit was caused by the far left? Of course he's not. He just thinks as it's from one side, it's more tolerable than the other. As famous Brexiteer Julia Hartley-Brewer said ....

@MajorRage that's classic. Londoners have no time for the hatred from the imaginary hijackers....but all the time in the world for those devastating London eh.
Almost as ironic as the racist abuse heaped on black and asian Tory MPs like Priti Patel, James Cleverley & Kemi Baddenock by Black Lives Matter supporters on Twitter....

There was a big opportunity for politicians and leaders who (rightly) praise diversity to speak out about also respecting the culture of the indigenous people of the UK as well and bring some sanity into the debate.
They have been found wanting.

The cavalry has arrived.
https://streamable.com/9vtv0qKind of wish the police would defund themselves for the day but my worry is they'll be under instructions to arrest anyone pro-Britain.

Football lads alliance
Sound like a nice bunch.
Actually they seem alright. Came together after that string of terrorist attacks in London and Manchester. Pretty incredible to have what were bitter rivals come together. You can see their website and social media channels to see what they represent.

I’m glad they are there. They won’t harm or antagonize the real BLM protests. But they will probably cause issue with those there to make trouble.
I’m openly pro the police, but I have been disappointed by the lack of backbone shown here. Same as NHS, this has nothing to do with the front line though.

Well this could prove interesting......

@Rembrandt hah, they're being reported as "far-right groups".
Didn't you read Khan's statement. Not just 'far right' but "extreme" far-right. Even more far right than ever!!

Let's call them what they are: One group of thugs and louts and another group of thugs and louts.
