Waving to their friends on Mumsnet, obvs. And terrible that the photographer cut off the bottom of the sign. It actually read "No more mosques should ever be defiled in the name of football". Bleeding lefties and their agenda. They'll be making something unseemly of the sense these upstanding individuals are showing by wrapping up warm on a cold day in London next.

Ahem, that's a pic from a demo in 2016 Stan. There are plenty of pics of numbskulls causing trouble today *tut*

Does anyone know what happened to the 'Operation-Protect Our War Memorials and Statues' thread?
I took it off the Board last night partly because it had turned into a carbon copy of various other threads and partly because the OP requested it be removed.

I don't understand.
- Police are protecting a statue from people who want to protect it from people who don't seem to be there.
- Meanwhile the man who stopped us all from having to salute like a Nazi is celebrated by men doing Nazi salutes.
I mean, it's very 2020, but still.

That's lovely to hear although I doubt everyone is keeping 2m distance at all times.

Why would I hate it if they kept the correct social distance and peaceful?

Fairly sure I can see his bottom lip quivering at the thought from here.

I know, and I apologise for putting him through it.
So let me get this straight. Are the current lot in London attacking the police because the police are planning on taking down a statue? Or is it because the police took Little Britain off Netflix?
Apparently there is a BLM march in the centre of Newcastle today, in response to which a large group of middle aged men have turned up to "protect" the statue of Earl Grey from any attempt to topple it.
There are two salient points here:
1) The aforementioned statue is on top of a 130ft high column, so anyone wishing to do anything to it is going to have to bring some fairly serious climbing equipment.
2) Earl Grey was the Prime Minister when Britain abolished slavery throughout the Empire, so I can't imagine his statue is likely to be on anyone's agenda to topple as far as BLM goes.

People forget that Britain abolished slavery which is still going on today in Africa.
