Award-winning charity boss who helped thousands of disadvantaged children is FIRED for criticising Black Lives Matter's 'neo-Marxist' agenda
UK Daily Mail ^ | June 16 | By MARK HOOKHAM

An award-winning charity boss who has helped thousands of disadvantaged youngsters has been sacked after criticising the far-Left political agenda of the Black Lives Matter campaign.

Nick Buckley was dismissed by the trustees of Mancunian Way, a ground-breaking charity he founded nine years ago, after an online mob accused him of ‘inappropriate’ and ‘insensitive’ views and demanded his removal.

Mr Buckley, who was awarded an MBE six months ago for his work with vulnerable youngsters across Manchester, warned of the ‘neo-Marxist’ policies of Black Lives Matter UK – which include tearing down capitalism and abolishing the police – and said they risked dividing communities.

In an interview with The Mail on Sunday, he said the charity’s trustees had been put in a ‘terrible situation’ by the pressure on social media to axe him, adding: ‘That’s why the mob wins. They make people take a step backwards and once you take one step backwards, they know you’ll take another.’

Mr Buckley worked for Manchester City Council for seven years before setting up Mancunian Way in 2011. Its projects include helping youngsters in inner city areas to secure jobs and spot the signs that they are being groomed by criminal gangs.

Those helped by Mancunian Way include thousands of black, Asian and minority ethnic youngsters.

Mr Buckley wrote his blog after protests organised by Black Lives Matter UK following the killing of George Floyd by police in the US. BLM UK has received donations of more than £1 million, yet the identity of many of its leaders is unknown and it promotes a far-Left policy agenda.

Truth is like sunlight to evil vampires, succubus’s, etc.

The inherent problem is that in this current world and era filled easily butthurt idiots, truth can get you ‘cancelled’. Nonetheless, the/that truth cannot be changed. Truth remains the truth.

It takes time and effort to adapt to new things like the internet (in this case). This ‘mob’ cannot be analyzed, counted or educated, so it is treated as a valid opposition which is WRONG. Almost any unbiased, sane observer knows it is a MOB and as such, as predicted from history, is intent upon destruction! Mobs, zealotry and riots are the province of the young and inexperienced BUT are frequently led by the cynical for goals not immediately visible. ‘Qui bono’ is the question here, who benefits from this person’s ouster?

Did he object to BLM ‘organizers’ buying mansions for themselves with donations from guilty white liberal ‘elites’ or did he dare to say ‘all lives matter’? Merrick Garland wants a hundred FBI thugs to investigate...

I can sympathize with the guy, but part of me suggests that an organization changes from a “charity” to a “racket” once it has a board of trustees that has the power to fire its founder.

I’ve made professional/career moves in my life over this kind of nonsense — specifically to avoid the kind of situation described here for this guy.

Like roaches, the only way out of this is marxist extermination. Let’s call it as it is.

neo-Marxists = Marxists
neo-Nazis = Nazis
neo-conservatives = Democrat assistants

Apparently neo just means dishonest secrecy, not new.

Yes it kind of sucks. Try and be your own boss.

He has an award from the Queen anyway and has been recognized for his efforts. He won’t be short of offers I’m sure...

Once again proves the Left has no respect for human welfare or even lives as long as they maintain their power.

Look around to see who's been buying houses. Then you'll know.
