[tongue-in-cheek]14. Police officers take more care that next incident is not filmed.
Unsurprised by sense of humour you have there mate...[tongue-in-cheek]
Sorry to laugh

Well, it’s a non-story picked up and amplified with a view to infuriating people and discrediting a movement. In this case a poll run by students - not themselves affiliated with BLM - about renaming a building that may or may not result in a request that will be passed onto the university. It’s almost nothing.In what way, Sean?
These nutters will be calling for the removal of the Bobby Robson statue next...
If it’s true then it’s part of the story.Well, it’s a non-story picked up and amplified with a view to infuriating people and discrediting a movement.

Here’s an even more transparent case:

Stephen Lawrence.Sorry to be cynical but this is following an entirely predictable arc:
1. Man arrested for what began as a minor offence winds up dead in police custody. Man has black skin.
2. Incident is nicely filmed (in focus, little camera shake) and published on the internet.
3. Large number of ordinary people see it and react with outrage. This provides an impetus that 'something must be done'.
4. Marches are organised, initially well attended around the world.
5. Marches are hijacked by same group of whistle-blowing twats who've been seen over and over and just like looting and setting stuff on fire.
6. Movement established behind snappy slogan but with no leadership and no concrete actionable aims.
7. Initial impetus is deflating because of apathy, actions of above twats and no clear aims to get behind.
8. Existing movements with tangentially related issue hitch onto the bandwagon. These confuse people and put them off, thus further draining the impetus.
9. News agenda moves on.
10. Some people might have changed their views if they have the time to think about it between working, caring, watching telly and sleeping.
11. Movement quietly deflates in acrimony and misappropriation of funds.
12. Black man is still dead.
13. No police procedures are changed other than a few optional training courses that no-one attends because the mindset of the group as a whole has not been substantially changed.
14. Police officers take more care that next incident is not filmed.
15. Next black man killed for initially trivial incident. This has already happened but it wasn't filmed clearly enough, too much camera shake.
16. Process of change inches forward.
Brexit-Ukip feels like the Confederacy to me.Another one bites the dust.

What an evening of mirth you have had!
WTF...What an evening of mirth you have had!
Any new topics planned? Shall I suggest some areas you might find rib tickling? Would you rather it was colonial atrocities, racial or ethnic cleansing, or slavery and oppression related?

In what way, Sean?

I guess it's time for you to put me on your 'ignore' list, ff1d1l, as Brian suggested a few days ago.
