Prime Minister Boris Johnson urges the country to 'work peacefully, lawfully' to defeat racism and discrimination

In an article for the Voice, the prime minister said Mr Floyd's death had"awakened an anger and a widespread and incontrovertible, undeniable feeling of injustice, a feeling that people from black and minority ethnic groups do face discrimination: in education, in employment, in the application of the criminal law".

"We who lead and who govern simply can't ignore those feelings because in too many cases, I am afraid, they will be founded on a cold reality."While he said he believed the UK was a much less racist society than it was 40 years ago, the PM said much more needed to be done to ensure everyone was treated equally under the law.

And he said he could not condone those who"hijacked" peaceful protests by breaking the law or desecrating public monuments, saying they damaged the legitimate cause that people were fighting for.

Time to end these silly protests, the UK is the most tolerant country on earth! If it’s so racist why are Africans and Arabs alike desperate to go to the UK and risk their lives in doing so?

Racism is also in North Borneo & Sarawak.

Well if you are anti-racist then the Isle of Wight should be renamed, the Isle of Grey!!!

Lawfully? That's a bit rich, coming from him

2 wrongs do not make a right. These people need arresting. And by saying these I mean all, white, black mixed. I’m an advocate for blm but these people are not protesting for this. They are protesting for violence because they think they can get away with it.

The Prime Minister himself is a massive racist.

BBCPolitics Because of the United States, chaos in the world. and I'm talking about not peaceful demonstrations.

Because Boris knows how, he lies like a cheap watch, never trust him

'struggle'

It’s not true!! “While the demonstrations have been largely peaceful” Time to get rid of this biased left swing joke DefundBBC_

There are NO ethnic minorities in the UK. There are only normal British humans against the system. If we took one baby from every country in the world and raised them on a neutral desert island... They would ALL grow up thinking they were EXACTLY the same as each other!!

JOEPUBLIC20171 The bbc is a left wing facist company who doesnt deserve peoples hard earned money on a stupid licence, BBC NEEDS TO FUCK RIGH OD. and take GaryLineker with it

Racist tells people not to be racist.

Says the man who is a bigot.

After ten years in government, what exactly have they Tories achieved?

night Windrush

Boris ...... what the hell do you know about “lawfully?”

Translation: sit still and know your place

BBCPolitics Of course,Johnson won’t see the irony, nor his forelock tugging followers 😂😂

I couldn’t eat a whole one

From the RACIST PM picaninnies with watermelon smiles. F*** you

BBCPolitics He also said that the Government would ‘enforce social isolation’. Really? Doesn’t it depend on whether you’re Johnson’s mate or not.....?

night Lawfully? Perhaps he should have a word with Cummings.

This from the Nazi party!!! Don't make me laugh.

Yes, because that's been working just fine!

night Because that makes it easy for him and his kind to put a stop to it.

Conspicuous by his absence. His lack of leadership is now part of the problem and he is most definitely not part of the solution EnoughIsEnough

Oh I just remembered the statues not there anymore.

Text me for a relationship

As if they will take any f*****g notice, You might as well talk to a statue.

You will never get rid of racism and discrimination ,we are all equal, only in narrow minded people's eyes we are not , learn to stand tall and fight your corner regardless your colour, race or cast .

BBCPolitics Is this coming from the person who referred to Muslim women as 'letterboxes' and 'bank robbers' as well as when he said 'picaninnies' and thats just two racist instances

Who?,, themissingprimeminister,

I think that the solution to the problem of racism will not be the destruction of the country and the harm of the poor police who carry out their duty. If you want peace, you must demand in a proper way.

Does that mean he'll be attending a workshop on how not to be a racist shit and that his words have consequences ?

Brave words Boris brave words

Then support statues removal

Until he completes sackcummmings he can urge all he fecking wants. He has lost the nation for showing very poor judgment

He could set a decent example but doesn’t want to

Yh because that's been working..... NOT

He needs to start with himself!

No problem Boris. No doubt you will be posted missing in this aswell I feel more maternity leave coming on.

Call for plaques on statues with links to slaveryCall for plaques on Scotland's statues to give truthful accounts of their links to slave trade I can see the zealots taking this to extremes. If a single penny of slave profits is invested in a firm, does that make it a 'slave' firm? Never-ending hilariousness. People are relentless in pursuit and revealing of own stupidity. No escape. That's a very sensible approach. Great way of raising awareness.

Anti-racism protests leave 27 police officers hurtProtests in London have been largely peaceful but were marred by scuffles outside Downing Street. Just the 27 injured, at least one seriously. But apart from the violence, pretty peaceful really! Didn’t look ‘peaceful’ to me. Thumbnail in this tweet doesn’t scream that particular word either. 🙄 If they were largely peaceful, why were there 27 injuries? 🤔

George Floyd protests: Toppling of Bristol slave trader statue 'disgraceful', says home secretaryA huge crowd also descended on the US embassy on a weekend of largely peaceful anti-racism protests around the country. pritipatel has no right to voice her opinion regarding the removal of a racist slave trader. She must be a bigot herself, just like Mahatma Gandhi was a racist and sex offender. Big words but no action, spineless And she's correct because this isn't the British way to remove a statue. Petition and vote on it, enact legally. Mob rule and criminal damage dumping it in the nearby port is not how you resolve this.
