He's dismissing BLM protests in the UK as "outrage at the death of a career criminal", dismisses taking the knee, and claims protesters are "lunatics".
It's incredibly insensitive and I could see why people would be offended. |  | |  |

In fairness and assuming the facts are correct, plus allowing for sympathetic writing, this link suggests he's done some good in his time: https://thecritic.co.uk/charity-boss-fired-after-criticising-black-lives-matter/
'Buckley decided to continue the work he’d done for the council [having been made redundant] by helping young people escape gang culture. He ploughed his redundancy money into the charity and for the first two years worked for free.'
Edit: you're right that he's not short on ego and self congratulation, but then again he does have to spell out his credentials in his own defence. [Post edited 23 Sep 2020 20:57]

I'm not suggesting he's a liar. I'm suggesting he's bitter and has a chip on his shoulder because these "black Marxists" aren't indulging his messiah complex and a lot of people told hm he was being a knob.
He sounds incredibly Partridge there. |  |

"Do you know who BLACKLIVESMATTER are? Do you know what this self prescribed political movement wants? According to their website they want to end white supremacy, disrupt the western prescribed nuclear family and dismantle the patriarchal practice. These are fancy words, what do they mean? They are exactly what post modern, neo-marxist use when they call for the destruction of Western Democracy and our way of life."
Looks like the signature of a racist to me. Who wouldn't want to end white supremacy?
As for patriarchal practice, it's obviously not what he thinks it is. It's about making it so the women don't have to do all the work in some nations/communities: they do use this phrase once on their website:
'BLACK VILLAGES
We make our spaces family-friendly and enable parents to fully participate with their children. We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work “double shifts” so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work.'
So quite the opposite of disrupting families; they want to see them brought closer together.
And that brings us to nuclear families. Apparently they have said in the past they wish to 'disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families'. They want to see an increase in the extended family structure, something that we in the UK have been saying is missing for some time. We've lost that- we move away from home chasing jobs, leaving families behind and abandoning some areas where there are few opportunities for local people, exacerbating rural deprivation especially.
Hang BLM for these scandalous views! This bloke is either a feckwit or a racist. |  |

Fair enough, that's all wrong, offensive and generalises horribly, but a sacking offense? He seems to be coming at things from quite a right-wing view of social welfare, that definitely jars, but racist? Not surr |  |

Fair dos mr - some of that is over the line but isn't the gist of his critique of bml about politics, methods and the bit about Dr King? | |

He was reinstated. Clearly initially the charity felt his remarks went too far - and there's a case for that - but they gave him his post back. If you're in a position of authority and responsibility and you publicly post ignorant bile you should anticipate there might be some consequences to that. Most employers probably don't take kindly to people blithely dismissing that racism is a problem and trying to discredit an anti-racist protest movement, especially in the charity sector.

He begins by stating that it's 'obvious' that Black lives matter, but then goes immediately into a rant about how other things are more important.
As though anyone has so much as once suggested that 'other matters' are not important [too!].
Which bring it back to the crux doesn't it?
That he is so willing to actually be as dismissive as possible whilst making a token nod.
He, and anyone actually taking his tripe remotely seriously, couldn't be missing the point any more if they tried. |  |

Just be vigilante. There are no doubt forces in this world that try to exploit the good that is in us. Do not join the iron helmet brigade or cover up your eyes with the face mask. We need to keep an open mind and seek the Truth and not bend over to some convenient narrative pushed by controlled media.
Actually, I think we can all agree to the above. Part of the challenge these days is the bundling of things, and the utilization and weaponizing of something obvious and good to destabilize humanity. It is exactly here that we need to develop and use our discernment.
I don't have the answers, but I know that the truth shall set us free. |  | | |

What concerns you about someone highlighting such awful and vile behaviour?
Are you in agreement with those who harassed and hounded this chap? |
Because you never highlight vile and amoral behaviour on the other side of the spectrum. Funny that. [Post edited 23 Sep 2020 22:10]

I would expect that someone that works for that sort of charity, shouldn’t really describe someone that had done charity work, had turned their life around, after serving time, and had recently become unemployed, as a career criminal.
Seems to imply bias, or at least that have skipped over some facts in order to make a political point. |  | | |

Do you know what woke actually means? It means being awake to modern issues (particularly injustice). There's nothing "nutcases" about it. It's actually what normal, right-minded people are all about. |  |

By the way, Hampstead has repeatedly stated he would like to “cancel” religion.
Surely that makes him a communist?

Sorry about that, I am not a native speaker, just trying to communicate.
Re your question, I think it is possible to wear a face mask at the proper time and still be aware of what is going on.
Maybe if you break it down by sentence and let me know what parts you don't understand or agree with? | | | |

Well apart from anything else, please check how to spell 'vigilant' (an adjective meaning "keeping careful watch").
'Vigilante' (a noun) means something completely different - "a member of a self-appointed group of citizens who undertake law enforcement in their community without legal authority" - something that could land you in a heap of trouble. |  |

And to think I lost an hour and a bit of my life watching the new Bill & Ted film (it’s sh1t BTW as you’d guess) when I could have been witnessing this car crash of a thread.
I don’t even know where to start in replying, but I think most sane people in this thread have covered most the points anyway. |  |
