    The majority of people in this anarchic tale are probably too dumb to vote. To label them ALL as brexiteers ic completely wrong.

    Any remainers would be easily identified, wearing strait jackets, and photographed in sepia, obviously living in the wrong century. The far right, BLM protestors and other lunatic fringe dwellers have no connection to Brexit, and is more than disingenuous to suggest it.
    For someone who claims to love the English language, you have abused it, and you really should be ashamed of yourself. Do all remain voters vandalise something they profess to love?

    Fucking Boomers aye: standing on the shoulders of giants, beating their own chests and wanting credit for it.

    The most vocal of the 'tough' Boomers on here are the biggest ineffectually whining snowflakes going and it is no coincidence.

    I rather think you have overlooked the not entirely insignificant fact that the poll tax rioters not only helped to reverse the introduction of one of the stupidest and most unfair of tax measures proposed in the post-war period but also paved the way to ousting its architect and chief proponent.
    In truth, the riots were one of the few mob actions to have proved its worth in the post-war period and ensured successive governments would use the phenomenon as a litmus test for their populism, or lack of it.

    Your comment is asinine.

    BLM supporter who helped injured protester 'didn't want to see him die'



    A Black Lives Matter supporter who carried an injured man to safety during violent clashes in London has told Sky News he "didn't want to see him die".

    Patrick Hutchinson draped the rival protester over his shoulder after he was allegedly attacked near Waterloo station.

    An extraordinary image of what happened went viral around the world - with Mr Hutchinson's actions receiving praise.

    Speaking to Sky News, Mr Hutchinson said he was "concerned" for the man's life and "scooped" him up before carrying him to safety.

    He said: "I really feel that if we hadn't intervened when we did, I genuinely think he may have died.

    "I didn't do it for him per se. I didn't want to see him perish or die but I really did it for the young men and women of BLM.

    "I didn't want their names tarnished with such an incident."

    For some people the word 'history' only registers when followed by the word 'channel'.

    The amusing thing about all this statue shit is that most folk under 30 in Britain think Churchill is a fucking dog in an insurance commercial.

    you just cant see that had you, or any of us, been born 200 years ago we too would have had exactly the same mindset as the slavers and imperialists that you so despise today, and that is why it is wrong to condemn the past through the prism of today.

    that people in history acted with the knowledge they had at the time, and that the task of those looking back is to look on it with understanding, not least in the hope of being understood in turn. The woke mind abhors this. It knows that it is right, and that everybody before this year zero was a bigot.
    learn from it you dolts.

    i read today that the guardian newspaper was founded on the profits from slavery.

    The paper, which was originally called the Manchester Guardian, was founded by John Edward Taylor in 1821 using profits from a cotton plantation that used slaves. And freelance journalist Kate Mulvery put: 'Maybe the Guardian should topple - given that its founder made a fortune in the cotton trade - went on the side of the confederates during the American Civil War - oh and denounced Lincoln for freeing slaves.'

    Several supporters of the petition have also called out The Guardian's 'hypocrisy' on the editorial stance.

    The newspaper was founded by cotton merchant John Edward Taylor in 1819, with his nephew CP Scott going on to become its most celebrated editor.

    Taylor's industry thrived on the backs of cotton-picking slaves out of sight and mind in the Americas, and the paper continued its relationship with it after his death in 1844.
    so would you have that shut down?

    Lout, 28, weeps as he's jailed for two weeks after 'drinking 16 pints' then urinating beside PC Keith Palmer memorial - as he admits he visited London to 'defend its statues'... but 'wasn't sure which ones'
    A 28-year-old lout wept in the dock as he was jailed for two weeks after he 'drank 16 pints' then urinated beside a memorial honouring murdered PC Keith Palmer in Westminster during far-right protests on Saturday.


    Andrew Banks, of Stansted, Essex, said he attended the demonstrations in the city centre in a bid to 'protect statues' - though admitted in court today he wasn't sure which memorials he was there to defend.


    As violence exploded in central London, Banks was pictured urinating near the stone memorial to the police officer who was stabbed to death by Khalid Masood in the 2017 terror attack.


    Banks, who was charged with outraging public decency by police on Sunday night after handing himself into authorities, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court today.

    He admitted the offence and was jailed for 14 days by magistrates.


    Prosecutor Michael Mallon said Banks, a Tottenham Hotspur fan, was in central London to 'protect statues', but admitted he did not know which statues.


    He was said to have drunk 16 pints during Friday night into Saturday morning, and had not been to sleep.


    Banks's counsel, Stuart Harris, said his client was 'ashamed by his action', and had mental health issues.


    The court heard Banks contacted police after being confronted by his father, the court heard.
    Scotland Yard said previously that a man had been arrested in Essex after presenting himself at a police station.


    The charge came after a photograph of the 'appalling and shameful' act was widely shared on social media yesterday as violent clashes between far-right protesters and police took place in central London.


    Speaking in response to the image, Metropolitan Police Commander Bas Javid said: 'We are aware of a disgusting and abhorrent image circulating on social media of a man appearing to urinate on a memorial to PC Palmer.


    'I feel for PC Palmer's family, friends and colleagues. We have immediately launched an investigation and will gather all the evidence available to us and take appropriate action.'


    Banks, of Stansted, Essex, was branded a 'stupid plonker' by his father before being charged by police.


    David Banks told The Sun: 'Sometimes young lads get a bit desperate. Andy picked a stupid place to go to the toilet.


    'He's devastated. He can apologise for being a stupid plonker. But he's not the first person to have done that and I don't suppose he'll be the last.'

    Several politicians last night expressed their disgust at the act and the Met Police Federation called for the man to be jailed after he was snapped during violent clashes between far-right protesters and police in central London yesterday.


    Home Secretary Priti Patel branded the incident as 'absolutely appalling and shameful', criticising those involved for the 'shameful scenes' in Westminster Square.


    PC Keith Palmer was stabbed to death while guarding the main vehicle entrance — Carriage Gates — by terrorist Khalid Masood on March 22, 2017. He was awarded a posthumous George Medal for his bravery in confronting the killer.

    Hundreds of far-right and pro-statue protesters gathered in the capital on Saturday morning in anticipation of a Black Lives Matter demonstration later in the day.


    Several hundred demonstrators, mostly white men, attended the protest organised by far-right groups, including Britain First, which claimed they wanted to protect statues such as Winston Churchill from vandalism.


    But fights erupted in areas near the Houses of Parliament and Trafalgar Square as demonstrators repeatedly hounded police officers with foul-mouthed chants and missiles, smoke grenades and flares.


    Shards of glass were strewn along the streets close to the Cenotaph on Whitehall after bottles were thrown at police officers clad in riot gear.


    The violent scenes are in contrast with peaceful demonstrations that took place at Hyde Park and Marble Arch by anti-racism protesters in support of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement.

    A far-right thug who knocked over a police sergeant with an 'enormous' kick to his back was identified on video by his luminous green shorts and arrested, a court has heard.


    Daniel Allan, 35, was filmed running up behind Sgt Richard Lambert and booting him to the ground next to Big Ben during the Black Lives Matter counter-protest in London on Saturday.


    A mob of Allan's fellow 'protect the statues' protesters then set upon on the officer as he struggled to stand up, kicking and striking him repeatedly.


    Father-of-two Allan, who travelled from Sunderland on Saturday, was arrested after police shared a video of a bare-chested thug kicking Sgt Lambert while wearing distinctive luminous shorts.


    He was quickly identified and the electrician admitted violent disorder today and was remanded into custody ahead of sentence at Southwark Crown Court.


    He faces two or three years in prison, a judge warned.
