George Floyd - America so f**ked up

Unless I've missed it, I don't seem to find any comments on here about the Alred Fagon statue (black playwright) being covered in bleach?

I find it funny that we have politicians close our libraries, but claim that statues are of educational importance?

You’re cherry picking a bit there gassy. The report according to the BBC says that no research has yet been done into vitamin D/genetic factors. There is also mitigating factors for the African continent such as the population having a younger average age so it is not total corroboration that BAME deaths in the U.K. are down to poverty. That being said poverty certainly doesn’t help, but IIRC there was a report that found that the poorest were hardest hit out of any social strata. I mean, no sh** 🤦‍♂️

It will be a really interesting acid test for the findings of that report- will the proposals be implemented? This could be the first step on the road to some positive legislation to address BAME issues. A small but positive step. Let’s hope something comes of it.

Well writing doesn't break many windows!

I posted a link yesterday and Hugo reposted an old comment from another forum member who talked about damaging it.

Fed up of all this hate and violence. Wankers on both side of the protests today and last week. All they are doing is causing more division. Why can't we just be civilised human beings

Is the U.K. a better place today than it was a few weeks ago before these protests started? After a couple of months of people being noticeably more pleasant towards each other whilst we all learnt to live with this sh**ty virus things have been set back decades, all so unnecessary imo. 

No as if you think about it the main source of vitamin D is by skin absorption from the sun, Other countries have a lot more sun than us also take into account that skin colour has a lot to do with absorption rates,

so most white people will get their vit D easily. unfortunately the black community get less, if this is the case Vit D levels can easily be raised either by tablet, uv lamp exposure and foodstuffs. As has been mentioned on the bbc report it hasn't been studied enough, maybe it's something that was studies for someone's uni exams. But its time it was studied by the nhs or another research group.
(not being racist in any way shape or form just trying to put it out there in simple terms)


I read your report tudder day, and it's a bit to blinkered as its only mentions 2 departments ,also the report mentions it was what they had been told, it doesn't mention if it was fully looked into, although 1 team leader said they wouldn't have a muslim in the department, again it could be racist or it could be that the religion is incompatible with the job, as i mentioned before it's very hard to spot racism within job distribution as no-one going to say oh I dint promote Dave because he's the wrong shade of human, I'm not saying it doesn't go on because it does ,but my point is not every instance is racist, and to be fair if people were overtly racist or a pattern developed in the way they dealt with groups of people there's various ways of reporting it.

In fairness to Al's' posts i read it the other way that in his capacity in the industry he's in he hasn't seen any of it. but not that it doesnt exist.(Not speaking for Al but telling the way i read it)


I Din't really agree with the bbc article as it is effectively saying that non white are dying because of racism ,and that's a dangerous path to go down.

When Italy went through a very high infection rate, it was said one area suffered more due to the area being poor(trevgas will hopefully remember the name of the region) .

Is the reason the poor are catching covid down to the fact that they have to go out more as they cant stockpile food etc. You also need to be careful just lumping in the word bame as within that group there are different figures, from memory it went along these line Black Women were more likely to get covid than others, followed closely by Black men, followed by Indian then Pakistani groups. i cant remember if people from Bangladesh over here were at the top or bottom of the list. So as you can see we need to be more specific when mentioning these groups as otherwise you get a distorted view of the people who are affected most, as it goes over the heads of a lot of people. Again if you look at the highest groups is it because the women are out and about more trying to get food in for the day.

Problem is in reality the yanks will never learn, the cops will still continue to kill people willy nilly, people will still fund organisations like Rent-A-mob er I meant antifa to start trouble in black areas which ultimately  leads to those areas becoming ghettos until someone repairs the damage, but wont start sh** in the nice middle class American areas they live in, one video i saw was an older black man pleading with demonstrators to stop destroying his shop,
