Poison Idea - Discontent should be the soundtrack of these last couple of days.
So much discontent in this hatefilled place
How could you want a master race?
We all got to learn to help each other
You are my sister, you are my brother!
Open up your eyes and see, people living in harmony
Listen Nazi Never Again!
Open up your mouth and scream!!!, some of us still have a dream
Listen Nazi Never Again!
Open up your mind and think, what you spew really stinks
Listen Nazi Never Again!
Open up your ears to peace, will this bullshit ever cease?
Never Again!!!
We're members of the same nation
One suppressing opposition
One way we can all be free
Fight the REAL Enemy!!

What a cnut.
@onemanarmy I prefer Guns n Roses - Civil War
Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before
Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before
My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars
D'you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said, "Peace could last forever."?
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
An' I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom
When it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin'
For their promised land
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before
Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before
My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside

It isn't but that happens a lot. Seen similar responses reported in similar police related killings. When people have called police stations they''ve been treated with disgust when that topic is approached.
Oh wow they deleted itOf course they did. Must have got too many complaints from the racists.
They probably just found out that George Floyd was black.
FFS. They've got him on the ropes now.
what a cnut
the sarcastic clapping, the ripping of Trump state of the union speech, the sunglasses gif, the #PresidentPelosi, and now this.
Yas queen!!
His face and response to Maitlis trying to suggest, in a lecturing tone, that the legacy of slavery/racism in the US was incomparable to Britain was especially good. And the comparison between the ‘MeToo’ movement and BLM I found very crass too. British mainstream media is still often guilty of terrible attempts at approaching and framing racism.

Should've held two bibles, Nancy. That would show them.
Pelosi is more upset that the Four Seasons restaurant is no longer open.
Or piggy-back a reverend.
What is it with the fecking Bibles
Can the next rep up hold a book by Dawkins or something
Some other songs that come to mind:
Inner City Blues - Marvin Gaye
Ohio - Neil Young
Holding up a book that's been used to install and maintain social control for centuries; it figures. Heck, even Black folks look to a white man's god for guidance and solace, so effective is the brainwashing.
Chemical Brothers - Out of Control
That literally happened in America though within the last few weeks. A group of mostly whites protested to be able to go to brunch and now a mixed coalition is fighting for equal rights.
The relevant section is Exodus.
To be fair to Maitlis, her job is to ask those sort of questions as a decent proportion of the viewers will have that attitude.
Good-bye re-election. How can these cnuts be so fecking far from ground reality?
Yeah he’s a good un. I grew up in the same estate as him, him and his group all had their heads screwed on despite problems in the area. The story about Julien Cole that he talks about is horrific. Took so many years for action to be taken against the coppers involved too.
I quite fancy You Make Me Sick by Anti Flag. Pretty sure they're directly referencing Trump.
Actually, maybe it should be Hate Conquers All, because that literally starts with a clip of Trump encouraging police violence.
Maybe posted before but this is fecking disgusting. Some cops are a disgrace. Sickening when he puts pressure on the kids neck after what happens to George Floyd.

Been listening to a lot of 5 live and 1 extra today. A very emotional day. I think I'm going to have to have a rethink of my views on life.
BRAVE D.C. Homeowner Shelters Protestors From Cops
The tweet says "someones little girl", the article says a 14 year old boy.
Yea it’s from a month or so back, and it’s actually a young lad. Was posted in the “cop doing a bad job” thread, you’ll be surprised to hear the PD defended the cop.
Blasphemous. US is the land of the free-est... Bible holders...
Yeah ok thanks I hadn’t been up to date with the other thread just found it rather unsettling.
Yup the title is wrong as it clearly says “stop hitting him“ in the audio.
What's unsettling is that I thought it had happened a long time ago, not a mere three weeks before George Floyd was murdered.
