You’re welcome to think what you want. I think the way he described anyone to the far side of either side and the way they attack their enemies and it makes them feel better is bang on.By the way when he said that the EDL tweeted their agreement
You’ll forgive me for not giving two shits about what he has to say
It's really easy when you're thick as pigshit.I don't understand the far-right. How do you perform a Nazi salute while claiming to defend the statue of Churchill?
Cleese is a wanker.By the way when he said that the EDL tweeted their agreement

Aren't they removing the monuments of these slavers? Not sure what point you are trying to make.If it was about respect then it would be white people removing or changing monuments because they recognise that they are an afront to black people and so are also an afront to them.
We were originally talking about monuments of slavers, not any of these other situations. Let's chill with the straw men.It wouldn't be angry mobs scribbling "was a racist" on Winston Churchill or vandalising street signs that are part of people's homes/community, and that in some cases actually have no link to slavery at all, or people standing around literally guarding a statue for some reason.
They are taking them down. That's positive.My mind boggles as to how anyone thinks these kinds of actions will bring about anything positive. It'll bring about Boris and the authorities rallying people against it.

Yes, non-threatening citizens are killed by cops in USA. What I don't think happens, and pretty sure what he was saying is, you don't randomly get picked on by cops. There will be a reason you are pulled over and potentially killed as a consequence, innocent or not. That may be a reason unknown to the innocent victim. There will be outlier cases, as with anything. Countless video evidence? That's a bit exaggerated, no? There's about 1000 people killed by cops in the US each year."The cops don't just pull you out of your car man"
We literally have countless video evidence of cops murder non-threatening citizens for no crime. That's a sweeping generalization.
I watched from the point your link started to the end.

It's mainly a piss-up I think.What are these people protesting against exactly?
I’ve no idea and was about to ask, seriously why are they attacking the police, wtf is going on?What are these people protesting against exactly?
They'll say they're there to protect statues and history etc, but by attacking police (who are actually there to protect statues and history etc), they're proving the point that they just fancied a day out and a scrap.I’ve no idea and was about to ask, seriously why are they attacking the police, wtf is going on?
Same reason they attack police outside football grounds, they are all off their heads on a thuggery rampageI’ve no idea and was about to ask, seriously why are they attacking the police, wtf is going on?
Out of interest what was your take on last weekend's protests and the attacks on the police.....is that the face of No Brexit?This has nothing to do with statues, no.
It's a culture war and the utter cnuts trashing the streets of the capital of the country they claim to love in their fecking piss soaked Ben Sherman polo shirts out of their tits on gak are the emboldened far right underbelly of the UK.
For a long time the far right in Britain struggled to properly organise and mobilise because the UK was unique in that the strong piss streak of nationalism that ran through the country was undermined by the fact that the Nazis were the enemy and that created a strange cultural barrier.
No more. Open Nazi salutes would have been the preserve of Chelsea fans and their ilk and seen as fringe. Now white supremacy in Britain has aligned under the Brexit banner and our government of Etonian feudal lords and nouveaux cultural conservatives have enabled this.
This is the face of post Brexit Britain.
Shitheads!Same reason they attack police outside football grounds, they are all off their heads on a thuggery rampage
For me that is the saddest thing about today’s world. There is no middle ground. It’s all about extremes of both left and right. Might as well expunge compromise and conciliation from the dictionaries. They are defunct concepts.Out of interest what was your take on last weekend's protests and the attacks on the police.....is that the face of No Brexit?
But were they?I'm just surprised Brits are targeting Churchill. I thought he was one of your most beloved leaders?
The price of Stella.What are they protesting?
They really love gone with the wind?The price of Stella.
Right to protect statues, I guess.What are they protesting?
Seems like a fair reason to batter the police, carry on lads.Right to protect statues, I guess.
They came down for a fight. Got drunk then forgot what they came down for.What are they protesting?
Fixed that for you.
Oops yes forgot that.Fixed that for you.
Absolute state of that lot.
But both sides!I absolutely despair at the state of this country.
What kind of knuckle dragging mouth breather sees people trying to fight for equality for black people and thinks “fecking hell we can’t have that, I have to get out and protest against it”.
Yet we’ve had plenty of people telling us the UK doesn’t have a racism issue.
Literally this, people have spent the last week telling us that the U.K. doesn’t have a problem with racism.I absolutely despair at the state of this country.

Of course we have racists, the racists of years ago haven't gone away, they have just got older and bred in that time.Literally this, people have spent the last week telling us that the U.K. isn’t a racist country....
