Viewers slam BBC for 'forcing politics' into New Year's Eve light display that featured 'woke' NHS tributes, BLM fist salutes, the colours of the EU flag and a climate change lecture by David Attenborough - while NO ONE sang Auld Lang Syne

Viewers have slammed the BBC for 'forcing politics' into London's controversial New Year's Eve light show after 300 drones made the shape of a BLM fist and shone in EU colours over London's skies.

Thousands of revellers eager to bid farewell to a miserable 2020 tuned into BBC One to watch the highly-anticipated pre-recorded display.

But outraged Britons slammed the show as 'ridiculous' after the drones made the shape of a Black Lives Matter fist and a turtle with Africa on its shell - alongside the NHS logo and a depiction Captain Sir Tom Moore in the sky.

The fist - which became synonymous with the Black Lives Matter movement which swept the globe this year - first appeared as spoken-word artist George the Poet read an extract of his poem Coronavirus: The Power of Collaboration.

The writer - who turned down an OBE last year due to the 'pure evil' of the British Empire - read: 'The future holds unexposed danger, but no stress. Humankind is no stranger to progress. And as we have proven, when we collaborate, progress follows fast.'

Many also pointed out that the first shape which appeared above The Millennium Dome - a blue and yellow bird - was in European Union colours, on the day Britain officially left the EU.

...

While it is unclear who organised or arranged the show, criticism has been levied at both London Mayor Sadiq Khan and at the BBC.

The Wokies have to usurp tradition and ceremony everywhere. Everything they touch turns to shit.

Read Matthew chapter 24, all ye inhabitants of planet Earth.

It’s going to be coming true in the not-too-distant-future (no, not setting a date).

Simply that events like these are going to backfire. Big-time.

Pay particular attention to verse 7.

For ethnos shall rise against ethnos.

[You are stuck at home, and this is the only “live” show.

What else can they do but complain?]

Watch something else, is my recommendation.

I’m watching a newly-acquired copy of “Jerusalem Countdown”.

Cheesy acting, but hey, still better than any SJW woke garbage. I’ve never see it before. Hope to resume the movie soon. Watched part of it last night.

Right now - pizza - Chicken, bacon, ham.

Other pizza - pepperoni, Italian sausage, light jalapeno pepper.

yes And those GOOGLE bastards have a huge long ad that of course sympathizes with BLM and systemic racism nonsense and even shows a little black girl in some “protest” waving the FIST OF PEACE.

And FOX broadcast has that black actor singing, including SYSTEM RACISM in his song of good riddance to 2020.

BLM = Worship of Black Skin

It’s Satanic to the core. And everybody who is a member of that group is an enemy of God.
