So what is BLM really after? We have Black and Brown people from the top of Society right down to the bottom, Lawyers, Barristers, Management, Middle Management, Politicians and Parliamentarians, down to plumbers and electricians, factory workers etc...all working class Black and Brown kids still have the same education in the same classrooms with the same Teachers as the white kids. There are always Black and Brown teenagers at universities.The stops by police are aimed at the communities who carry out the knives and commit the stabbings etc, police officers cannot simply just ignore the fact.It is unbelievable that educated people don't see what the BLM are really about, they have to be just pretending to not see it. You only have to read the BLM policy list to see it.Having our heritage listed for removal with the full blessing of Labour Mayors and Councils up and down the country even while the first two day's violence was still happening on 7th/8th June showed a direct aim forcing the right wing to go head on with the existing Government to ban the BLM movement. But that fell flat and never really happened, most of the population still support the Tory Government.And now we see Labour education departments wanting to remove "colonial references" from history lessons!!! How do you mention pre-WW2 India or Palestine and not mention Great Britain?

This event appears to involve musical performance, people hawking their wares and the setting up of an impromptu market and art exhibition, all “hosted” by Anil Patel, who invites passing motorists to “honk for Justice”.  The organiser is evidently commandeering the common for what is for those selling their wares a commercial purpose.  Is permission not required for all of this?  Is this large-scale event being arranged by Mr Patel alone or some organisation?  According to one of links that is supplied, this is to be “a reoccurring event set for every Two (sic) weeks to allow for isolating. As for Mr Patels’s history of the English Language, it is embarrassing.  Is he a graduate of that ancient seat of learning, Wikipedia?  The English Language, we learn, is “a Latin based tongue”.  No, it is not.  Having just consulted my copies of Beowulf and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, I can find no “latin” derived words there.  The language that evolved after the Norman Cnquest is a combination of the two languages as is evident in the fact that we have different words for the animals we eat and their flesh (sheep, mutton etc.). Be that as it may, Mr Patel, let us know what permission you have for these events, don’t make too much noise and clean up your mess.  The Council should not have to pay.  You should be billed.

Thats very simplistic and misleading as well.You seem to have missed the enslavements of Britons by the Romans and the doc or die enslavement imposed by later invaders.You are picking a part of a very long timeline. The main slave trade exporting captured peoples was run by Arab and Sub Continent merchants for 2000 years before the advent of Colonialism.And which country led the way in bringing slavery to an end?  The one you are currently criticising.Don't mess with history, there is not a land on the planet that has not had barbaric times but segmenting out of context is how hate and division is propagated.

Lets have a look at that shall we. While you think you are under threat. Spreading hate speech and cherry picking information. Let us look at your history of the so called native people of these isles.If you speak a native tongue of this land it will be Gaelic. English is relatively new if your talking about indigenous population of these islands of ours. Yes Ours. We are all citizens of her majesty whether you like it or not.During the evolution of English a Latin based tongue. The population and diversity of these islands has been in constant flux. From the Romans, Saxons, Normans to name but a few. Most of the heritage of this country is within its European blood lines. The most recent addition to the population came about with colonisation. The colonial subjects came to this country after helping fight in both world wars to help rebuild Britain. They were invited to help, some may say begged, promised citizenship and equal rights. How have these invited subjects their descendents and more recently Immigrants coming here to work been treated?One only has to look at your one sided biased views to see a small sample of how inclusive this country has been to its diverse subjects.One last point on heritage, why do you like to glorify slavery? Are you proud of colonial Britain? Do you think Oppression of communities is acceptable in Our Civilised society. These "People" as you put it. Humans like you and me have been asking for change for a long time. Now it is time to address the racial inequalities. Let us have an open dialogue. I ask you apologise for your hate speech and biases. Everyone has biases its up to individual to understand their own prejudices.Here are some resources that can help you do that. I do hope you can be Civil and Listen to reason. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TStYwcBMvOwAMMed7ThfstEx5rJra0YtyX48r7JeZOU/edit?usp=sharing

The BLM movement (black and brown) and Khan are implicit in the way our History, that belongs to the Native Population and our statues and place/street names are now under threat.The very first violent BLM UK demos were on 7th June, in London they were a bloodthirsty happening with injury to our police.The very next day the 8th June even while the Statue in Bristol is still being toppled Mayor Khan tells the world that due to the violence he will draw up a list of London statues to be removed, but it is less than 24 hours later that the first one is legally removed in Millwall Docks. That is not enough time to bring in a safety assessment, place the contractors etc, do the legal work regards planning permission etc...Proof enough that Khan and his co-horts already knew there was going to be the violent movement that weekend as the legalities and everything else that was needed as a response to the violence was already in place.But is is not just the Black community either, the Sikh Community use the BLM violence to have Ealing Council promise to rename Havelock Road in Southall.We've now seen a list of at least one hundred statues from hundreds of years ago up to the 20th Century along with Place, Street and Pub names that the non native populations want removed too.We the native population of Great Britain have been backed violently into a corner.If we keep our heritage we have to put up with the violence and damage from all ethnic groups coming together via the BLM banner.So I See it as Britain having two choices, 1 Give in to the violent BLM movement and lose our heritage, names and monuments, so they leave us in Peace., or 2 Keep our Heritage, street names like Havelock Road, statues etc, and remove the ethnic communities who have ganged up together and made it clear the native population ofBritain will not be left on peace if we do keep our colonial history. You had your chances and violently threw them back at us.

I would also ditch the "Defund The Police" slogan.What an idiotic requirement that is, with ulterior motives. It is SO obviously being pushed for by the subversive elements in the movement.

please ask the attendees  to take their litter home

I imagine most people have no problem with your main aims & objectives, and wish you well on all going peacefully.Just do the general public a favour and maintain order, giving the agitators and trouble makers a swift & serious boot, they do your cause no end of damage.
