The armed forces are showing some backbone even if no one else is.
A defence source said: ‘When they are in uniform, they are not allowed to take part in any political activity. With taking the knee, it is becoming a political movement.’
They added: ‘When you are in uniform there are long standing rules for how you should behave.
‘We are looking at the policy and are trying to find a way in an appropriate situation what they can do to show their respect.
As for the showing respect – there is no need to do anything of the sort when in uniform. However, this is the start of breaking ranks. What with this and the footie folk starting to waver, hopefully the backlash will come in good and hard.
BLM is a Marxist organisation dedicated to undermining and ultimately destroying western civilisation. We need to stand firm and resist this. George Floyd was not someone to whom we should be showing respect. He was a career criminal who broke into peoples’ houses and held a gun at a pregnant woman’s abdomen. I’ll be damned if I will show respect for a lowlife such as that.
But Longrider, how can you say that about George Kirby, whom we all hold so dear to our hearts..?
Caught this on beeb radio news, the newsreader ended with “…unlike other uniformed services like the police who have been allowed to take the knee”. The inference was obvious.
Meanwhile ms. Offended has loudly condemned North Devon District Council for a public information poster campaign that obviously trivilises BLM and the death of George Floyd.
The bin mounted posters have been up for 18 months with the strapline
DOG FOULING MATTERS
The part of that story that really pissed me off was that NDDC apologised. If the signs have been there for eighteen months that was cast iron proof that the whiner had no case and they still capitulated.
But the Police Service? have no uniform
The have a series of costumes ranging from a pre cold war Generals reinforced medal carrier,down to a-down-wif-the-yoof baseball hat and smock.
It is either impossible these days to be arrested for impersonating a police officer or ridiculously easy, because anything is worn by a Police Person.
The stripogram people are better dressed.
What we need to do is proscribe this vile attempt to destroy Western society by treating this bunch of terrorists as exactly that. Ban them and jail them for breaking the law. Thugs as always join in any band wagon. As for the police genuflecting, such idiots should be fired. As for politicians (yes Keir Starmer, I am looking at you) doing the same they deserve being laughed at.
It would seem that the Donald, having allowed the idiotic Democrat Mayors to dig their own graves is now going for the jugular and rounding up the suspects.
