There was a small chance at the last election in my opinion under Corbyn, but that was never going to happen as we live in an image obsessed society that still has roots in colonial thinking, certainly with the ruling classes and sections of media, and now with the poorest and most disadvantaged due to lies over immigration and political neglect in the poorest areas.


I am on another mb, not football related, the discussions over these BLM protests have been fairly sensible for the last 2 weeks, a few of the members have gone to marches and protests, of course it they had the right to go

someone posts video's of the protests today saying that they are scum fighting with the police, a fair few agreed, then someone posted the video i posted above, a few replied on how bad it was, then it was pointed out it was from last week and at the BLM march ( despite the heading and them mentioning 2 nights of violence ) then it was the police provoked them

someone said " just goes to show they dont look too different the extremes of the world ", i thought it very apt
