You know, one thing that gets me is that Tim has been wearing that same outfit for almost the entire week.
Also, yeah, those dumbasses deserve to get the max sentence.

Trump definitely did that to Soleimani.
Amazing how the met have suddenly tripled in number and found all their riot gear once the 'white nationalist!' Natives show up to peacefully show annoyed they about our history being damaged by racial aliens.

Were the statue’s defenders attacked by the police or did the police simply augment their numbers in response to the statues having defenders?
A good first step. Though until they actually get said sentence rather then the indictment. I'm not going to be impressed.

Still intent on fucking over the police when the economy will go further in the shitter? Who's going to pay your salary bub when it runs out?

Funny. NOW it's "a scuffle" and "muh coronavirus quarantine"

God the bias is so obvious it borders on satire.
Far-right activists scuffle with police by London monuments
Hundreds of far-right activists have scuffled with police in central London’s Parliament Square. Groups including right-wing activists and soccer fans had come to the capital despite strict police restrictions and warnings to stay home to contain the coronavirus.

“Prompted a national debate about the legacy of empire and the slave trade”
What debate? Where is the other side?
“Under the guise of protecting statues”-so their saying that the statue defenders don’t really want to defend statues, just provoke confrontations? The statue attackers provoked these confrontations to start with.
“Demonstrators were largely peaceful”.
This is what we mean we on the right say “media bias”.
It’s about how things are framed. A totally unaware and naive person would assume that right wing hooligans descended to London just to pick a fight, and that the destruction of statues was incidental to them being there.
The AP article doesn’t outright take the vandals’ side, but it frames the narrative in such a way as to imply they weren’t really doing anything to cause disorder and were attacked because right wing soccer fans wanted a fight. The way it describes the statues being destroyed is phrased in such a way as to be entirely non condemnatory.
Notice also how the article expresses concern over “disorder” and the “coronavirus”. As if they were concerned last weekend.
This sort of framing is the worst sort of media propaganda. Because it isn’t an outright lie and to the untrained reader looks fair. But if you pay attention you can notice the author uses certain language to describe different sides, and creates impressions without evidence, leaving the reader to develop a particular idea of what is going on in their head through the picture painted without outright telling them what to believe.

Malcolm x speech on White liberals perfectly describes the situation in my opinion
yeah I saw that and I though you know what maybe they would be better off if the police are disbanded, they clearly prefer people who riot, steel and treat them like shit so maybe the department is just too dumb to live and needs to go.

Yeah it frames the article entirely to paint the right wing protesters as hostile interlopers who just descended out of nowhere. “Thuggery” and “coronavirus” weren’t concerns last weekend.The BBC version of the reporting is even "better"

Boris Johnson says "racist thuggery has no place on our streets" after officers are punched and kicked.
It’s like a see saw in the kindergarten playground-it’s clearly weighted one way-the statue defenders are described in unflattering terms, and the “anti racist” protesters are depicted as gentle and innocent, outright fearing to have confrontation(which is TBF true-they’ll back away when faced with resistance).
I honestly think it’s structural. AP and BBC editors and writers aren’t consciously going out of their way to do this-but they are biased and so that affects how they write these articles.

"We don't actually mean to get rid of the police! We are talking about a reform and-"
Should speak for itself.
The whole Stapleton issue is one I understand, and personally I wouldn't be bothered by a name change. But I also understand for people who just associate it with the airport and the neighborhood, it'd be like trying to rename the Bronx. The issue was voted on and rejected several years ago, so the issue has been addressed before.
I think the best way we can undue the legacy of the KKK Governor is to rename it the Tuskegee neighborhood, because a portion the Tuskegee Airmen Memorial Highway on I-70 already runs through it.

I should have expected that really
Yeah, funny that
Little poison dwarf Mayor showing how tough he is now.Still it is reassuring to see people stepping up to defend British heritage. I don't condone them baiting the coppers but fifty quid says there are less police injured today than there was last week by those 'peaceful' protesters.
Having those people form a human wall around the scout founder statue was a highlight. Peaceful, determined normal people who want to keep their heritage. I'm not a fan of Robinson but he has his uses.

I gave up on mainstream western entertainment for the most part a while ago; I've been entertaining myself with retro, indie, and foreign media for well over a decade now. Because while there have been some things I've enjoyed that are mainstream, or mainstream adjacent, it's a rare thing to find those that don't either bore me to tears, or enrage me to the point where I abandon them partway through in disgust.
"The demise of the modern American city"? It doesn't feel like it could happen, but neither has many other things that did; and if it does, it would mean the Democrats might stand to lose their most significant remaining power base.
