    This…. As king, he did not bother to deny charges in a London court that he had sex with child prostitutes.

    Seems Statues of slavery benefactors sparked protests more than 100 years ago?

    Was Belgium’s King Leopold II a mass murderer on a par with Hitler or a greedy despot who turned a blind eye to a few excesses? A new book has ignited a furious row in a country coming to grips with its colonial legacy. Stephen Bates reports..

    The BBC and Daily Mirror have now reported this story. Without saying or  acknowledging, its source? Or permission?
    Lets see what happens?

    AJ not come across that video, thanks

    Oh, listening to it, then reading your comment. Very disappointing.

    There’s one video I didn’t watch but what the woman said…..

    The latest update am:

    According to posts on Facebook, a “rioter“ was filmed smashing a building’s  front door and setting the building on fire…..is a police officer, according to his ex wife who was attacked by him. She has identified him.
    Facebook, are removing the video? However, screenshots of the officer in riot gear, uniform have appeared. The mask the ‘rioter’ or it should be policeman is wearing is unusual as it has purple coloured filters?

    I remember the  Anti-capitalism demonstration in the City of London. Staff in a bank were making offensive gestures at demonstrators. A few demonstrators throw objects at the windows….

    In a Forum about the demo, one vile individual wouldn’t let up about how shocking these anti capitalist demonstrators are……vertically not stop.
    I was trying to counter him and put socialist ideas out. It was a waste of time. Clearly this supporter of capitalism doesn’t believe in free speech.

    I haven’t seen or heard of  the person  since, maybe it was a bot, paid state  stooge or just a sad pathetic person?

    Twitter have wadded in against Trump. Regarding Trumps tweet:  that rioters will be shot……
    This Twitter says is in violation of its rules on glorifying violence.
    Well done Twitter.

    I have watched the video on Facebook, it was everywhere. Little bits of what happened are appearing.
    The event leading up to his eventual death, where he wandered away and  was eventually handcuffed.
    What upsets  me in this scene is George Floyd’s looked as if he was  really worried, frightened and utterly helpless.
    He seemed resigned to his fate. 😢

    He lost his life for trying to  pass a dud $10 bill? I don’t even know what this means? Why were the police called?

    Thank you for the link. Yes, you are right.
    My point is that what these people are advocating, the best healthcare is privately run insurance based profit driven healthcare.

    When you’re unwell and fall down in the street. The first thing medics will do is not to check your pulse, breathing, but check your wallet to see you have medical insurance!

    War is now raging, with ‘allied forces’ (American war planes) fighting (is it separatist) rebels. Bombing schools and hospitals. Turning hospitals to piles of rubble, in the middle of a pandemic! This beggars belief. 😡
