#1 Black Lives Matter UK thread
By Alex Matthews For Mailonline
Published: 15:29 EST, 16 July 2016 | Updated: 16:06 EST, 16 July 2016 Thousands of protesters marched on central London as the English Defence League, Black Lives Matter and Anti-Tory supporters held rallies on the same day. There was a sea of people chanting and holding placards as they made their way through Piccadilly Circus, Marble Arch and Hyde Park today as over 10,000 people made their voices heard. While campaigners for anti-austerity and anti-fascism turned up in their droves, far-right supporters of the English Defence League (EDL) could only muster a group of around 70 for their march.      The event, which was advertised on the group's Facebook and Twitter pages, drew people draped in England flags, wearing masks and custom made EDL t-shirts. As they marched through London's popular tourist destinations they chanted 'no surrender' to terrorist groups and repeatedly barked the rallying cry of 'E-E-EDL.' After reaching Hyde Park a number of speakers addressed the crowd about their fears regarding Islam, as well as discussing the group's opinion on immigration. Supporters also called for new Prime Minister Theresa May to be given the time to execute a Brexit. It was then suggested that the group walk to the French Embassy and pay respects to the 84 victims of the Bastille Day massacre on Thursday. Impassioned anti-fascism campaigners were seen chanting 'refugees are welcome here' and labelling EDL supporters 'Nazis' by the Marble Arch monument - but thankfully violence did not flare up.  Mass crowds of Pro-Jeremy Corbyn campaigners marched through Oxford Street as they campaigned against the Conservative Party with placards featuring the face of new Prime Minister Theresa May saying 'Fight the Tories' and others saying 'The Tories are elitist criminals'. The demonstrators said they were marching as part of an 'emergency demonstration' that was organised due to Britain's vote to leave the European Union. Campaigners wanted to show the world that refugees were welcome in Britain. read full article at source: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...llies-DAY.html |

Black Lives Matter protest sparks Heathrow traffic chaos. More disruption planned
A Black Lives Matter demonstration near Heathrow has caused traffic chaos outside the airport as activists take part in a day of protest across the country.
Protesters unfurled a banner reading “Black Lives Matter, this is a crisis” and lay in the road on the approach to the Heathrow tunnel on Friday morning. Activists also blocked traffic in Nottingham city centre and on the approach to Birmingham airport. A Met police spokesperson said officers had managed to partially reopen the road to Heathrow and had made arrests but could not confirm how may. A Black Lives Matter UK (UKBLM) spokesman said: “This morning UKBLM have #Shutdown roads in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Nottingham to mourn those who have died in custody and to protest the ongoing racist violence of the police, border enforcement, structural inequalities and the everyday indignity of street racism. “We have chosen today for our action to commemorate the fifth anniversary of Mark Duggan’s death at the hands of the Metropolitan police. We stand in solidarity with the families and friends of all who have died at the hands of the British state. We take action because justice has not been delivered through conventional means: the police, the IPCC, the courts or the legislature.” The group highlighted that black people are more likely to be stopped and searched, arrested, convicted, die in police custody and receive harsher sentencing. It also said that black people are more likely to be unemployed than white people, more likely to be permanently excluded from school and referenced the increase in reported racist hate crimes since the Brexit vote. The movement listed events taking place on Friday, including Alexandra Park in Manchester and St Peter’s Gate in Nottingham, both at 6pm, and Altab Ali Park in east London, at 6.30pm. Traffic was reported to be at a standstill from junction four of the M4 as a result of the protest at Heathrow. In Nottingham, protesters attached themselves to each other and lay across tram lines in the city centre, halting traffic. In Birmingham, activists chanted “No Justice, no peace” as they blocked traffic on the approach to the city’s airport. A West Midlands police spokeswoman said four women and one man had been arrested on the A45 in Solihull, close to Birmingham airport, just before 7.30am. She said it was unclear what the protest was about as officers were waiting to interview the suspects. A Nottinghamshire police spokesman said: “Officers are currently on scene and are negotiating with a small number of protesters. It is believed that the unplanned demonstration is in line with a national #‎BlackLivesMatter protest. Our priority will remain the safety of everyone involved and to bring the demonstration to a peaceful conclusion.” Heathrow airport advised people using the M4 to leave the motorway earlier at the A312 to avoid the congestion. A spokeswoman said: “Heathrow supports the right to peaceful protest within t ----- snip ----- read full article at source: http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2...-traffic-chaos |

Guns and knives seized in black (lives matter) carnival crackdown
Almost 200 arrest warrants have been executed across London as part of a major operation ahead of the Notting Hill Carnival.
Guns, knives and drugs have been seized in the police raids. In raids in Camden, these two machetes were confiscated by police. Elsewhere, four people were arrested in Barnet as a gun and drugs were seized, while a gang member was arrested in another raid where two swords were recovered. LBC's Charlotte Wright was with the police as they made the raids. read full article at source: http://www.lbc.co.uk/guns-and-swords...arnival-135899 |

The Spectator (UK) just did a piece on Blacks and Crime/Murder rates in the UK and USA. Very rare to see in this mainstream and influential magazine.
I do not get out very much these days, but the glorious weekend weather persuaded me that I should spend a pleasant afternoon watching people stabbing each other at our annual celebration of stabbing, the Notting Hill Carnival. I go most years and enjoy the street food, the music and the sight of white police officers with fixed rictus grins ‘getting down’ with some vast-mammaried semi-clad mama, their helmets askew and rivulets of sweat running down each crisp white shirt. And of course the violence, the violence. I am delighted to say that in this regard 2016 did not disappoint, with more than 400 people arrested and five stabbed — and all for the very reasonable cost of just £7 million to the taxpayer.
I was slightly surprised that the new campaigning organisation ‘Black Lives Matter UK’ has not yet called for the carnival to be banned, as it seems to pose a rather more potent threat to black people than sitting in a police cell or being carted off to the nick in the back of a paddy wagon. It is true that a disproportionate number of black people suffer these latter two fates and a disproportionate number again are assaulted in both places. But not surely at such a rate— and the police rarely stab their victims, much preferring to punch them, strangle them or electrocute them. The silence on this important issue from BLMUK seems to me a bit of an inconsistency, I have to say. But then inconsistency seems to be their watchword. Their first public action was to set up a blockade of major roads leading to our largest airports, but I am not sure how many black lives this saved in the end. Aeroplanes do crash from time to time and it is statistically likely that when they do so, some black people will be on board, but I am not sure that this is a racial injustice per se. A better target, I would have thought, would be black-on-black crime — but it may be that the organisers have convinced themselves that this does not really exist. Six years ago I got into trouble with the Press Complaints Commission for a blogpost in which I stated that the ‘overwhelming majority’ of violent crimes in London were committed by black males. A few months after I was adjudicated against for purely political reasons, a Freedom of Information request by the Sunday Telegraph revealed the actual police figures and they concluded that I was ‘largely right on some of [my] claims’. The majority of violent crimes committed by males in London were indeed committed by black males — 54 per cent of street crime, 59 per cent of robberies and 67 per cent of gun crime. I suppose you might quibble about my use of the word ‘overwhelming’, but not much else. More to the point is the fact that black people suffer disproportionately from these crimes. In 2006 the Metropolitan Police Authority reported that 79 per cent of gun-crime suspects and, crucially, 75 per cent of the victims of gun crime, were from the ‘African-Caribbean’ community.

Black Lives Matter Block Runway
All flights at London City Airport have been disrupted after protesters gained access to the runway.
The Met Police said it was called to the site at about 05:40 BST after nine protestors "locked themselves together" on the runway. The Black Lives Matter UK movement has confirmed it is responsible for the protest. The airport said inbound flights were being diverted and it hoped to "resume operations as soon as possible". Black Lives Matter UK said: "Whilst at London City Airport a small elite is able to fly, in 2016 alone 3,176 migrants are known to have died or gone missing in the Mediterranean. "Black people are the first to die, not the first to fly, in this racist climate crisis. "We note, however, that the UK is willing to charter special flights to remove black people from the country based on their immigration status." It added: "This action was taken in order to highlight the UK's environmental impact on the lives of black people locally and globally. "As the largest per capita contributor to global temperature change, and yet among the least vulnerable to its deadly effects, the UK leads in ensuring that our climate crisis is a racist crisis." Black Lives Matter was set up as an international movement following the murder of black teenager Trayvon Martin in America four years ago. Scotland Yard said its officers were "negotiating" with the London City Airport group and awaiting the arrival of specialist resources to "unlock the protestors". It said it was investigating how the protesters had managed to get air-side - including the suggestion that they swam across the Thames or used a boat. It added no arrests have been made at this stage. A London City Airport spokesperson added: "The runway is currently closed due to protesters on site. "We apologise to passengers for any inconvenience to their journey." City Airport is popular with bankers and business professionals due to its proximity to Canary Wharf in London Docklands. Last year, a record 4.3 million passengers used the airport. Please include a contact number if you are willing to speak to a BBC journalist.

The Moral Bankruptcy Of Black Lives Matter UK
DailyStormer.com
Morgoth’s Review September 10, 2016 On the day Black Lives Matter UK invaded Heathrow airport and disrupted the holiday schedule of thousands of white families, the London Evening Standardcarried a video taken from CCTV footage of a white woman being dragged off her feet by her neck and violently mugged by two blacks, having a ring yanked off her finger. As the Lefties and black activists crowed on Twitter about the havoc they had caused at Heathrow, that white woman was sitting with a police medic, in shock and traumatized, calling her family to explain she’d been mugged. The standard argument of the ‘Right’ to blacks agitating against ‘police brutality’ is to point out that blacks commit more crime and therefore come into contact more frequently with the police, therefore they’re more likely to die in police custody or while resisting arrest. And this is perfectly true, it’s also true that a white man carrying a car full of heroine and facing 15 years in jail will offer less resistance to the police than a black who’s just robbed a diet coke from a store. The problem is that these arguments, no matter which side you’re on, are American arguments based on American racial issues and American inter-ethnic politics. The politics of Alabama or Georgia has took root in Manchester and Nottingham, the question is, is it legitimate? Does American racial politics belong in Britain?. In America (((Marxist intellectuals))) found in blacks a ready-made proletariat to be used against the WASP bourgeoisie they loathed, the situation was perfect, a real peach, blacks in America actually were segregated and they had indeed been imported as slaves, who imported them and why is a different subject. The point is the American Left could argue from the perspective of blacks not having ‘equality’ with whites and being an oppressed group because they had been oppressed and brought to that land against their will. The solution of repatriation to Africa or blacks being allowed some land where they could run free was never on offer because that would defeat the purpose of using them as a wrecking ball against white society. The situation in Britain is entirely different, blacks began to arrive on the British Isles after the 1948 Nationalities act was passed, but the act was passed without the consent of the native people and blacks arrived against the express wishes of the native people. Every poll ever taken in Britain has revealed that the majority of native British want a decrease in immigration, not an increase. Political Correctness and the various race hate laws have ensured that few people will openly say ”We don’t want more blacks and Asians” but it’s implicit in the polls against immigration and has been since Enoch Powell’s time. We natives never wanted black people in our country, but we were never given a choice, therefore, whatever complaints the blacks have are null and void…all of them. What manner of ethical code demands of the invaded that the i ----- snip ----- read full article at source: http://www.dailystormer.com/the-mora...ves-matter-uk/ |

Black Lives Matter UK Leader Funded By Taxpayers
A leader of the Black Lives Matter UK movement, which last week shut down London City Airport and caused disruption across the country over the summer, is funded by British taxpayers through the UK foreign aid budget.
The Department for International Development (DfID) admitted on Saturday that at least £50,000 of public money has been paid to Matters of the Earth, whose director and founder Natalie Jeffers has been described by Black Lives Matter UK as “co-founder” and “organiser” of the group, reports The Times. Ms. Jeffers, from Brighton, East Sussex, is reportedly paid to devise and run courses in “race awareness” and “gender-sensitive governance” through the DfID’s “gender hub programme” which focuses on Nigeria. A source close to International Development Secretary Priti Patel said she was angry and would be “demanding to know why the courses were ever commissioned in the first place”. The source, who called the spending “rubbish”, added that it was “tough to see how this delivers for taxpayers. “Practically helping vulnerable women in Nigeria is the kind of thing people expect and want our aid to do, yet it’s telling that some in the aid industry think the way you do this is [by] buying some online activists’ course off a professional campaigner in Brighton.” The DfID confirmed: “In 2015 one of our subcontractors commissioned Matters of the Earth to produce small-scale and specific pieces of work. The money was not for the support of any wider agendas.” Ms. Jeffers reportedly said she did not use DfID funds for Black Lives Matter. On Tuesday, BLM UK shut down the airport because, according to the group, “environmental inequality is a racist crisis” and “impact[s] on the lives of black people locally and globally”. However, Ms. Jeffers could not attend the protest herself, which was staged by entirely white activists, because she was flying to an international feminist conference at a luxury beach resort in Brazil. The 10,000-mile trip generated approximately 3.2 tons of CO2 — about a third of the average Briton’s carbon emissions for a year. Last month Black Lives Matter UK blocked roads heading to Birmingham and Heathrow airports as well as tram rails in Nottingham city centre. The group also forced London to a standstill for three days in July, protested outside of the American embassy demanding anti-Israeli BDS-style (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) boycotting of American goods, and blocked U.S.-owned shops such as Nike and Apple – whilst many of the protestors took selfies on their iPhones. read full article at source: http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016...itbart%20News) |
