Black lives matter protestors block roads in the uk

[paulpablo]

They've blocked roads, or got plans to block motorways and tram lines in Birmingham, London, Manchester and Nottingham.
Preventing people going on holiday, to the airport, preventing emergency services vehicles getting past, and people in general going to important jobs or just travelling in general.

I was hoping one of them would get run over and killed but that hasn't happened yet.
If any innocent people do die as a result of emergency services not being able to get through or because of these major transport routes being blocked I hope these people are held responsible.

Assholes.

Yes, and I hope you extend the same courtesy to farmers or other grassroot organisations blocking roads in order to protest some political decision. And no, I'm not looking these instances up for you, since a simple google is your friend. Just enjoying the double standards, as usual. Poor whitey is prevented from going on holiday. Clear case of persecution I'm sure. I'm wating for the terrorism card to be played.

At least Pablo is showing his real colours for a moment in hoping for them to be run over.

Yhuuuuip.

Yeah, that's a bit extreme to hope for one of them to die.
Surely you don't really mean that.

Civil rights and rights equality certainly has its issues in the UK but it's nowhere near as bad as the US.

Not sure it will gain much momentum here to be honest. None of my black friends seem particularly interested, though perhaps their social demographics are different to those protesting (does anyone know what they're protesting?)

My patience is wearing thin for these BLM assholes. They're blocking roads, of which are obviously used by emergency services and regular every day folk trying to get to work or just get on with their day in general.

Police should be removing them from the roads by force.

From what I've seen they are just showing support for their US counterparts.

However, I recall reading about them calling the police in the UK racist and the usual nonsense BLM spouts. I'll try find an article for you.

Here's an article with some information.

The group said: "We stand in solidarity with the families and friends of all who have died at the hands of the British state. We take action because justice has not been delivered through conventional means: the police, the IPCC, the courts or the legislature."

The campaigners said they aim to highlight "the struggle for black lives in the UK and £Shutdown state-sanctioned racialised sexism, Islamophobia, classism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia", adding: "We fight for liberation."
