Lockdown - has it totally failed?

[Khriss]

Why i stopped going to a lot of protests,  you go all that way -  AntiFa and Socialists start bouncing off the Neo Nazis and White Power idiots, so newspapers just report the ruck, not wot you were actually going to protest about. K

Nazi eagle flag?

There were decent law abiding citizens there for the sole purpose of protecting our monuments, the media won’t report on them.

 

as for the football bunch, well what did anyone expect

Forgive my ignorance but what is the deal with the powers to be having control in this situation?

This is Shirly the worst kind of control they could have.

Shirly governments want us to go to work, earn as much as we can (to get taxed on it) then get out and about spending our hard earned so they can claim some more tax back on the sales.

How sitting at home getting paid from the government  while not  spending money is considered as control baffles me.

 

I dont get it, enlighten me people.

 

 

Anyone who thinks we are under control like to share?

Unbelievable ?‍♂️
I’m not even sure that is a serious question, if it is then you should be embarrassed.

I was idly browsing last night while listening to Senior Management, and clicked on a site that was clip after clip and link after link, all "Neo-Nazies, Alt Right protesters, causing violence etc etc" in connection with the so-called BLM protests, all right-wing thugs causing bother, well apparently.

BUT strangely BLM/Antifa/rioters/looters etc were NEVER once mentioned as the underlying causation.

So I looked for the provider, and what do you know, it was the Guardian, when I had suspected it could only be the BBC.

Biased was not the word.

P.S.

Steve's posted link with the "football crowd" comment was spot on though.

When those on the left think the BBC is too far on the right and those on the right think it's too far on the left, maybe they're doing what they're supposed to be?!

 I'm not convinced myself as they give far too much credence to the conservative government and UKIP etc in the past, but that might be because I don't like what they're saying.

I'm sure that this is absolutely true and an important point, but the same thing can be said about the anti racism protests over the last couple of weeks. Far more news coverage has been devoted to the violence and vandalism of the few rather than the overwhelming majority who were peacefully protesting. 

Obviously I don't have figures but by the look of it a very significant proportion of these "monument protectors" turned up looking for trouble and a fight,with BLM protestors or anyone else that they didn't like the look of.

“By the look of it”? You will only see the bad parts on the bbc and the left wing reports they won’t show any of the peaceful stuff so you can’t know unless you go I suppose.

of course the same will be true from the other side. The MSM will not ever show both sides on this for fear of being branded racist
