Although the tea brands built and maintained on indentured labour and sub-povery wages can also do one if they think tweeting 'um, actually Sandra, slavery is bad' in any way absolves them of their ongoing crimes.

It's a fucking WW1/WW2 memorial, do these people think the no doubt gigantic BLM protests of Hoddesdon are just indiscriminately targeting monuments or something?

(I'm aware that protecting the monument isn't really the point here)

can confirm that the football-adjacent racist gammon faction thought that war memorials were being targeted over the weekend

antichrist advocates for widespread adoption of the mark of the beast
When Tony Blair was prime minister his government legislated to introduce an identity card scheme. The plan was hugely controversial, by the time the law got introduced it was to a large extent voluntary, and it was enthusiastically repealed by the coalition. But Blair has not lost interest in the concept and, at an event today, he said that coronavirus made the case for digital ID more compelling than ever.As PA Media reports, Blair said that only if people can show easily whether they are clear of coronavirus will industries like international travel be able to restart. Speaking at the virtual CogX technology conference, Blair said that such a system would operate alongside track and trace programmes as the economy reopens.

All Labour councils to review their statues btw, a lot of them will be coming down before they're torn down.

he was pretty apologetic about it a few months ago when it came up, said he wouldn't do it now. unlike the league of gentlemen who seemed fine with reviving papa lazarou for their recent comeback. (that said, LB did seem to go more for shock value than the others)
