Nicholas Soames, who served as a Tory MP for almost 30 years, has hit out at the police response to the anti-racist protests that took place across the UK this weekend. Responding to a Tweet by Home Secretary Priti Patel, where she wished a police officer who was injured in the demonstrations a speedy recovery, Mr Soames urged her to "get a grip" on the situation. He also indicated his astonishment and sadness that a statue of his grandfather, Sir Winston Churchill, was defaced during the protests.

That’s how it was in France in 1968 with the “Soixante-Retards”

Amen, George. Every person in a position to eradicate racism among the police in Minneapolis is a demonicRAT. But who gets the blame?

Simple. Find the nearest Republican, go up the chain, and it's....Trump!

The thing I remember was that “Prague Spring” was going on at the same time, and the French rioters actually came out against the Dubcek government and supported the Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia.

For killing Western Civilization, they’ve all been promised (and are expecting) airline tickets to Waukanda.

In 1945 British voters were tired of “blood, toil, tears, and sweat” and brought in Clement Attlee who promised them milk & honey & an end to wartime austerity.

Attlee failed miserably to do so and Sir Winston was voted back into office in 1951. He finally ended wartime rationing in 1954.

Too bad his grandson is watching Britain descend into madness, which is already defined as the modern UK authoritarian state where the slightest criticism of Islam online will have the police at your door.

Now add BLM & Antifa to the list of the aggressively aggrieved in Old Blighty.

The protests aren’t about racism it’s about white people.

Yup. I remember black activists tweeting out that Africa would have been just like the fictional Waukanda if "whites had left us alone."

The truth is, in Africa of even today, they still rely on the roads, buildings, and infrastructure that European colonialists built for them over 100 years ago.

Alright, but apart from that, what have the European Colonialists EVER done for us?

And we elected someone named barack hussein not that long after 9/11. Would be like England inviting in Mengele to be PM.

Wow. That seems like an unduly harsh comparison.

What did Mengele ever do to you?

LOL, in the end hussein didn’t really do that much. I needed obamacare then and I need it now. So yeah, hussein was just kind of a bust.

I read where the Minneapolis city council voted to defund the police department, i.e., disband the police but the mayor said no. The article said the council has the votes to override the mayor. It’s hard to imagine that working out.

Churchill is one of the greatest heroes in history.

These people are enemies of humanity.

______________________________________

I agree...
Churchill’s grandson has a good reason to be unhappy...

Do British schools teach anything about Sir Winston Churchill any longer?

I don’t think UK has a National Guard like United States...
So I guess the Government has to use the British Army if the police cannot handle the situation...
