Ms Rigby said the posts were the"complete opposite to what Lee stood for", adding that the use of his name was hurting his"legacy and memory".'White people essential to ending racism'
Mr Floyd, an unarmed black man, died on 25 May in Minneapolis after a white police officer knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes. The main officer involved in his death, Derek Chauvin, has been charged with second-degree murder, while three other officers are accused of accused of aiding and abetting second-degree murder.The death has sparked widespread protests across the US, as well as in the UK and other European countries.
The killers of Lee Rigby, from Middleton in Greater Manchester, are serving life sentences after the father-of-one was killed on 22 May 2013.
Lee Rigby was murdered in cold blood by Islamists quoting in context Quranic verses George Floyd was a violent felon killed in cold blood by a notoriously violent cop, though BLM claimed racism there's zero evidence for it, 4 black people were murdered by looters
Well done sky news for stirring the racial pot once again..I'm sure it's not for political gain either..
Bunch of racists can’t take the fact that people care about someone who isn’t white for two seconds. The Lee Rigby thing was ages ago and yet, like everything else “British” like the flag, images of Churchill, etc. it’s been co-opted by racists for their own ends.
Stay alert!
Only the intellectually limited don’t understand what the BLM movement is and have to go on about “All lives matter” when theirs are not at risk at the same level black lives are. Those gammons don’t need air time and the mother is right to defend her son’s memory from UK racists
She is right. All LIVES MATTER and not just in black lives
Just think before you comment. And quit making other family loses worsen! Immediately
Sending a clear message to all the “ Black lives matter but White lives don't “ Nazi tweeters. Shut up and leave Lee Rigby out of it.
His barbaric killers are in prison, it's done, leave him alone.
Breaks my heart that his poor mum even has to deal with this. Sad.
I agree, but may hypocrites SKY stop showing images, more than a week later, of the death of GeorgeFloyd showing the Cop killing him with Divisive lines 'White Cop.. Black Man'
Is it diverse to show a black man? His life mattered!
Imagine being so desperate to detract from Black Lives Matter that you're willing to show that Lee Rigby's life doesn't matter to you as anything more than a bartering chip in your troll-war. Shame on the desperate, disgusting deflecters.
Most of them have single figure IQ’s and may not even understand the request.
Using a young man's barbaric death to fuel your political agenda, how horrific. Even after the mother's pleas they will bounce off deaf ears I would imagine.
Tbh you’ve shared it more than anyone
apparently, Black lives matter but White lives don't ! RIP LeeRigby
KTHopkins you hear that?
The truth will out.
They are using two other hashtags now. All the people with 🇬🇧🏴 in their bios. Disgraceful 😡
Who else is jumping on the bandwagon now?
This is the second time Lee Rigby's parents have had to make a statement urging people not to use their son's death for political agendas.
I feel so sorry for her and her family. His name and image is always used and abused by idiots to try and justify their bigotry and racism. Leave that poor boy alone and let him rest in peace!
Name n shame
People using deaths for that purpose are vile
so you can be politically correct when it suits you?
Watch Yaxley-Lennon and his twatzi's try to smear her in some way now.
Let him RIP
Did white people march out & protest ? Loot, burn and smath up cars, shops etc ? No because they got the man who did this worse than dreadful thing and justice seemed to be done. Now the same applies for the murderers of George Lloyd so we should all just calm down.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽- respect your her
Unfortunately, his image and name has been used since day 1...
So did George Floyds brother, didn’t stop you lot though did it!?
Do u hate gangsters, mobsters, criminals or mafia in charge of your life? Big 👏👏👏 clap for the UK 🇬🇧 👮♀️ 👮♂️force doing a great job.
She’s a 100% right
Doesnt change the FACT he was murdered by a black terrorist scumbag that the left refused to protest or riot for as it didnt suit there biased agenda mediascum AntifaTerrorist
Same goes for pictures of poor Emily Jones.
Racists everywhere up in arms because they can’t use the image of a respectful honourable decent man and tarnish it with their racist views. History will remember like they remember the nazis, absolute shit stains on society.
Sky news: 'hold my beer'
It's always 'divisive' when it adds context to the argument. Like with Muslim grooming gangs targeting white girls, you mention it, you get called 'divisive'. Whereas if you destroy a sacred war memorial and loot Apple stores you get called 'misunderstood',
? he's apparently a pin up for every movement going?
Anybody have a say.
Most of your tweets are 'divisive'
You don't care what happens in London?
