He doesn’t deserve the outrage, it’s utter virtue signalling nonsense!
3 white people in Reading took down for no reason at all, a little girl in Bolton killed a month ago, both attrocities committed by immigrants.
Don’t see the loony left descending on London to protest on behalf of them.

The three murdered blokes were gay. How often do the righteous right come out in defence of abuse aimed towards homosexuals? It's almost like they're being made a focus by bigots for a particular reason, isn't it?

He's probably worried for his job right now.

How do you stop these 3 things happening? By which I mean how do those in power change it? People are always going to have their personal prejudices.

Why do you think we have stuff like democracy, workers rights, universal healthcare etc? You think its because the people in power at the time *wanted* to give them?

Like any form of change, people in power either have to concede to change, or have power removed from them and given to others who will make that change.

The only ways in which literally any change to society has ever occured in human history.

Think he may have got sacked for saying the racial slur for a person of Pakistani origin on his public Facebook and Twitter personally. Or maybe the employer didn't want to be seen to be associated with someone with his views when you go nationally infamous. I see he did an interview with the Daily Mail about his use of P*** and said "I get a bit coked up sometimes and use offensive language" so there's another potential reason. Regardless of how you square it, the lad is a wrong un.

They are things which are law, you can't write into law that a white person can't cross the road in the presence of a black person. Same goes for turning a black person down for a job or security guards treating people as suspicious. It's on an individual basis.

Most reasonable people can see that the ‘white lives matter’ bandwagon is just a cover for racists to close a conversation that is now happening.
Same people will be no doubt regularly bang on about international women’s day, non-Christian events, anything LGBT orientated, the climate emergency, immigration and anything progressive.

But its being reported he's been sacked for the stunt, not the stuff he's said on social media.

How on earth can you sack someone for saying white lives matter.

Not true. Company statement:

A spokesperson from Paradigm Precision said on Wednesday: "We have concluded our investigation into the conduct of one of our employees in relation to an incident at the Burnley v Manchester City match, as well as other related manners.
 
They doing this knee thing for the rest of the season ? How about they applaud NHS and Keyworkers for a few games instead of just a token little badge on the tops

The lives that matter to me are my wife, kids and grandkids. I have worked horrible shifts, a lot of the time 16 hours when I was younger and after low wages, managed via gaining further qualifications, to build a career for myself. That was my choice, but I stuck at it, and everyone in the uk has that choice. So when anyone threatens the stuff I have worked for I am not too happy.

Surely it should be black asian mixed race and oriental lives matter? Bit racist to exclude other races. Like the LGTB people have done

Well, we only get one chance at life, and I am not going to waste any of it fannying about and worrying about the next drug dealing piece of shit from another country getting killed, legally or illegally by any type of colour. I will continue to enjoy life as much as I can, and make the lives of those I love as happy as possible. I am currently sitting in my garden, which I have grafted for, without breaking the law, including intimidation, drug use, robbery, looting or murder. Merry f***ing Christmas.

Genuine question, what is being threatened in your case?

Anyone who wants to persevere with White Lives Matter, or Asian Lives Matter etc is free to do so. Set it up and persevere. BLM was just a handful of people for several years. Work and commitment and investment was what got it to where it is now.

Black Lives Matter has endured resistance from day one in 2013 but they kept it up. Not just resistance online or from politicians and celebrities etc but people campaigning for it have been beaten, tortured and killed. 7 years they've fought their fight.

It just goes to show the fragility of the All/White/Blue Lives matter lot that they're having a meltdown over people simply for disagreeing with them :lol:
