Why Salisbury?

Have a guess

Fresh out of guesses - sorry if I'm being a bit thick, can you spell it out please?

AKA "activists". Or possibly the BNP black ops division...

You have any evidence for that?

Peaceful protests with no vandalism don't make national news.

Vandalise a few war memorials/statues, throw traffic cones at a few police officers heads and have a police horse plus rider ride into a traffic light and your protest is on the front pages.

Well yes, but it's hardly the sort of news that needs to be on the front pages if we want to reduce racism. Black gang stabbings, Islamic terrorist attacks make the front page too, that's good for perception of those groups?

Why don't these idiots understand that this sort of thing just raises prejudice?

Given the comments on here, it's hard to see that the prejudice can rise any higher

You guys who are upset over the concrete having some paint on it so realise that, if the black people communities and PoC were treated the same as white people that there would be no need to protest? Your attitude is why these protests are taking place.

[Whorty]

Strange the Iraq war protest, David Kelly protest, Pro & anti Brexit marches didn't result in significant violence or vandalism yet led the news?

Yes they did. Try using google and you'll find plenty images of white people defacing the same pieces of concrete in London.

When people protest it may not be the way you or I like and if your perception of groups of people is made from how they protest, then it says more about you than them.

You're a clever lad. You'll work it out.

[NotAllThere]

You have any evidence for that?

Exactly as much as supports your world view.

You're a clever lad. You'll work it out.

So instead of protesting they should go and visit Salisbury cathedral because it's nice this time of year?

Is Salisbury cathedral even open to visit right now and if it was would that be sensible advice to give someone?
