What do I want, simple a world where everyone irrespective of race or the colour of their skin is treated equally. Do I agree with the way that the demonstrations have turned into a "battle" no, but I do respect the rights of people to represent their view.

I find the American, treatment of non white people appallng.

Should history be hidden, no. Ours and future generations need to learn the lessons of the past so that hopefully they are never repeated.

No but we can try can't we to make a difference can't we?

Here in the UK I volunteer with two Charities to try and help others less fortunate than myself, and hopefully make some small difference.

Mmmmm strange how the people screaming for the BLM protesters to be locked up are deafeningly silent about the Nazi thugs who attacked the police at the weekend....sort of says everything you need to know about them and their views doesn't it,depressing.

The Reality is that there are thugs on both sides...that is the depressing thing for the UK.
Protests must be allowed to happen, and counter protests...but violent "protesters" should be given no leeway..arrested, heavily fined and if neccessary jailed.
And the Police must be seen to be impartial upholders of the Law...those "taking the knee" should be disciplined and suspended.

IMHO, of course. :)

Early indications are that there is no connection between this incident and the BLM protest that took place several hours earlier in Reading, and it is being treated as terror-related.

Really all out war between whom?....just seen the leader of reading council on BBC news nothing at all to do with BLM protests...another lowlife who needs to be executed...however catnip to the racists on here who silently support the far right who attacked police .
