    A healthy, non-decadent society that believed in itself would be shooting these people. Instead, we have most of our institutions cheering them on. It's totally f@cked.
    A healthy, non-decadent society would shoot people for non-violent protest against what they view as an immoral act?

    Whereas an unhealthy, decadent society would listen to them and then try and address any valid concerns they raised?

    Interesting. By which I mean insane.

    Taking anything Berni says with anything more than a grain of salt is insane

    Remember when discussion was nuanced? Now it seems you're either a Nazi or a Marxist. Huge

    Trump has probably never used the word ‘nuanced’ in his life.

    And while I agree that the current trend towards labels and silos in any debate is dull, it is also potentially very dangerous. Especially when the president of the US of A seems incapable of any other type of thought.

    Who's talking about 'non-violent protest'? I'm talking about feral scum rioting and looting. The non-violent protest ship sailed some time ago.

    Oh, and what 'legitimate concerns' do young British people have about the behaviour of the Minneapolis Police Department, exactly? And how exactly does attacking members of the Met help address them?

    As you said that most of our institutions were cheering them on, I assumed you were talking about non-violent protesters.

    Which of our institutions are cheering on the rioters and looters, exactly? Can you show us some examples?

    For one thing it rather discriminates against those with bad knees

    Yes. Not the most inclusive of protesting symbols for those with limited mobility.

    Indeed. Take a pint, a pie and a picked egg would be far more inclusive.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    I do like a pickled egg, from time to time.

    I'm going to get a jar on the way home...

    Served, proper Christian-fashion, in a bag of salted crisps? Lovely.
