    No institutions other than the media, the police and the political establishment, no.

    Here's the Mayor of London at lunchtime yesterday:

    "The death of George Floyd has rightly ignited fury and anguish not just in the USA but around the world. No country, city, police force or institution can be complacent about racism and the impact this has."

    A few hours later and guess what? The pack of feral hoodrats he has encouraged to come into the heart of his city with their righteously ignited 'fury' interpret this as a free opportunity to have a go at the police because racism.

    Only then does he say it's unacceptable to attack the police.

    He set the police up as targets, encouraged the mob to have a go at them and then walked away.

    You can't incite that sort of shít and then tut tut at its outcomes. It's like w@nking someone off and then complaining that your hand's covered in spunk.

    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.
    I agree, it's very dangerous and stupid. Amazing how people on both sides can't see that.

    Sounds like an incredibly reasonable statement. I doubt anybody at yesterday's gatherings even heard Khan's words, let alone acted on them.

    Hopefully the scum attacking the police will be dealt with properly. He's made the right statement in that respect, hopefully action will follow.

    On the day he'd allowed the gathering of thousands (during a pandemic and against social distancing measures, but hey-ho), he talks about igniting fury? When he could at least have demanded a peaceful response? You don't see that as in any way inflammatory, no?
    Not only is that statement encouraging a gathering that is completely unacceptable in the current situation, it's also validating not just anger but 'fury'. And, not only does it not bother to make the point that the Met has absolutely no culpability, but in fact it goes out of its way to tar them with the same brush!

    'Incredibly reasonable'? Bóllocks. Inflammatory and irresponsible rhetoric from a man who is actually charged with the welfare of the city in which he's just helped to foment rioting.

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

    I've sussed it B, America's grand plan. White cozzer kills black bloke in broad daylight in front of cameras. Protests (riots) begin mainly from the BAME community. All ignoring social distancing and we know the virus has got it in for the brothers so we're looking at possibly hundreds of thousands of dead negros. USA depopulation in full effect y'all. It's genius really. Tragic but genius from the honkies.

    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.
