Roughly half way down under "How we will spend the funds"

Thanks Mario, I knew I'd seen it somewhere but couldn't find it yesterday.

This is quite interesting

[TheSage]

It is interesting, yes.

No doubt someone mentioned this earlier but I heard this morning (on Radio 5 Live) that apparently black people are nearly x10 more likely to be stopped and searched than a white person.

Heartwarming to see both teams and the officials take the knee before tonight's Premiership game between Villa and Sheff Utd.

Whose side are you on?

Equality for all..... under the law.

[TheSage]

It was more of a rhetorical question than a plea to you personally, Geo.

Dominic Rabb,  the bloke who admitted he didn't realise that Dover was important to our trade, now tells us that taking the knee comes from Game of Thrones.

Please. Someone. Save us. From these idiots.

Looks like rugby's Swing Low Sweet Chariot is next on the list.

Is The Wonder Of You safe?

Wonder not sung at Twickers as far as I know,  up to Twickers if they want to celebrate with  a freed slaves song.

Slide aside but Katie Hopkins banned from twitter ... about time!

Reading that BLM garbage it appears they are driven by racial hatred of white people. If I posted a Go Fund me like that I'd be arrested

An uplifting account over how community policing could be approached. Not saying every policeman/police force could be operated in this manner, but maybe re-aligning approaches more in line with this would lead to a more productive society all round. I think there's an argument that this sort of stuff should be covered by social care services:

There are calls for the Guardian to be shut down now.

Apparently,the newspaper was established by a cotton plantation owner using slave labour.

Who would have thought it?

It's getting very silly now.....In my humble opinion.

Thing is, it's not about what you think, or what I think. You're obviously entitled to your views but this isn't about you or I, it's about black people trying to redress the <ovf censored> they've had to put up with, and continue to have to experience.

Just my opinion.......

It is about what you think and what I think and what everyone thinks. That's what society should be, a collective. Not everyone will have exactly the same opinion, thankfully..... a consensus for the good of all, equally. Not driven by individual groups or interests.

I know the above isn't expressed very well.
