- Columnist Matthew Syed was worried when he saw the Black Lives Matter UK website: "It talked about such things as dismantling capitalism. That sounded to me like an agenda that goes far beyond the idea of racial equality".
Discussing censorship with Mike Graham, Syed added "when you think about somebody denied a promotion because of the colour of their skin... to what extent are their lives materially improved by deleting a scene from Fawlty Towers? If the answer is not at all, then the righteous energy should be directed towards those substantive changes to the law... that can make a difference. Otherwise it just becomes a kind of symbolism".
On the subject of cancel culture, Syed says "the demographic on Twitter is not representative of the wider population... it's like the amygdala, that part of the brain that slightly overreacts to stuff".
The world would be a happier place without twitter
This is true. It's made us insane. It represents a tiny fraction of the people, but politicians and corporations think it represents the majority.
Tik Tok is just as bad, these formats are just for 'conditioning' kids
Social media is full of crazies in general. Although Twitter being the worst of the worst.
@Worker Damn...rumbled😂😂
I don’t use it. I’m not on Facebook, or any other platform, apart from CZcams. I have absolutely no desire to read rubbish opinions on Twitter. I support free speech, but I don’t have to read it. Facebook is just as bad.

Done it years ago haha,,,
Oh the company that covered for jimmy saville, should have been shut down
Starmer and the Premier League should have done their home work on BLM.
Wish virgin media did, on the home page a large BLM slogan is there. These organisations don't realise what they even stand for.
Disgusting = I agree 100%
Boycott virgin media
@@deecook180 oh they do realise exactly what they’re doing. Don’t underestimate them, you only have to look at the owners of these platforms that promote them to see what they stand for. Always find the root
@@GodmadeTrends I made a complaint, will probably disconnect, but it is everywhere.
Its no joke my partner has been told to do unconscious bias training, so he may resign, they just push crap all the time.
Don’t like the uk 🇬🇧? Then leave.
I agree. I did 15 years ago. And it seems to have got a lot worse. Sad but true.
I love the UK and I'm ready to fight for it. Take a knee? Take a fucking hike.
Unfortunately, plenty of people did. Do you see who fills the void?
Does Black Lives Matter UK have "an agenda that goes far beyond the idea of racial equality?"
A question that is answered simply by going to their website. Dismantle capitalism, the nuclear family and defunding (read disbanding) the police. They are also anti-semitic as evidenced by their recent tweets. Two of the three founders in the US are openly communists. They are using race as a Trojan horse to attack the west. If black lives really mattered they would also be addressing the fact that more black people have been killed by the protests in the states than by the police. More young black men are killed by other young black men in London.
Also in the US every cent donated to their cause via their website goes to adblue a platform to exclusively fund the democrat party, worth also the Republican party was created to stamp out slavery in the US and cost Americans 600,000 lives. It has much more to do with 'Orange Man Bad' than anything else.
Does the pope play with his tadger in the bath?
Well yes, of course, obviously. You've asked the type of question that would crop up in my chosen specialist subject if I was on mastermind 'The Bleedin Obvious'.
Yes and it's taken too long for the media to actually come out and say so. It should have been said from day 1
Are we expected to believe that no one from the worldwide media, no sports teams, no politicians bothered the read the ‘about us’ section of the BLM website?
You now can’t turn on the tv without seeing adverts for this organisation - run by open Marxists, who openly state they want to destroy capitalism and the nuclear family.
People are being brainwashed to think if you don’t support ALL these things, then you must not value the lives of blck people.
Look up Motte & Bailey.
The plastering of BLM all over media, sports etc, is to make average Joe think that everyone else supports this organisation, and that you are in a tiny minority of bigots if you don’t.
It’s a globalist scam.
For the first 10 years of my life I lived in a working class area, then in a more middle class environment. From the age of 12, I was regularly stopped and searched by the police as were most of my friends. I was, for the most part, treated respectfully and was far too frightened to complain and my parents had taught me not to give cheek. I understood why the police selected youths of my age and above, as it was common for teens to hang out in gangs and the police needed to ensure we were not carrying weapons. The fact is that some of my friends did at times carry knives and it was only the fear of being stopped that deterred most of the rest of us (that fear being greater than the fear of being confronted by armed rival gang members). I am a 70 year old white male, I've done reasonably well in life for a lad from a broken home, with no father figure to guide me and I have nothing but respect for our police force. Regardless of background Britain offers all it's citizens a multitude of opportunities to get an education and/or training to become an industrious, respected and valued member of society. Of course some people get it all on a plate, but 99% of us make it on our own. I believe that due to social media young people feel an urgency to have the trappings of wealth now and are not prepared to work long and hard with no guarantee of future success.
How many black people want to end hetronormativity? One of blm main objectives on their website.
Are the black community not one of the most homophobic communities about? The BLM lesbians are still looking for acceptance from their own community, good luck with that.
Why dont they direct their anger and hatred to try and stop modern day slavery ?? that way they would be helping people that are suffering today , not people from 500 years ago
you lot waking up to them yet
Bloody hell two humans in the same room having a conversation, is this really 2020?
No one with any intelligence uses Twitter. We look at the news with links to twitter and laugh. 😃
Starter took a knee without knowing what he was doing or what it really meant. I don't think you could trust him to have a thought that is original or his own.
Check out the documentary The Century of the Self on here. It was created by the BBC when they were somewhat balanced and not woke.
Most of us normal folk think for ourselves and knew early on about BLM. We are not stupid unlike the idiots who bent their knee. I'll never forget /forgive those that did. They branded us as racists for "daring" to have an alternative opinion.
Who would vote for Stammer when he takes the knee?
Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy were both civil rights leaders.
What happened to them?
As the Times Journalist stated, Twitter and the shouty people from any group need ignoring. Banning petty things will not resolve anything. However, if we can look through the eyes of someone who has a grievance against something, take a minute and see if they have a valid point. As Ian Wright has said, he didn't want blackboards renaming, he needed laws changing and racism stopped.
Yes you had me until you started praising Starmer!!
10 seconds into the video and I can say yes. Yes they do have a agenda beyond equality.
*Should show this to Lewis Hamilton, who has **-subjugated-** coerced his Mercedes Team to Paint his car BLACK and no doubt this coming weekend (4th/5th July) the Drivers and maybe others will be performing the stunt of Taking The Knee and demonstrating F1's support for 'Black Lives Matter' - KEEP POLITICS OUT OF SPORT.*
Interesting he drives for Mercedes who famously made vehicles for the nazis and even has done ad campaigns for hugo boss who made SS uniforms. This from a multi millionaire, anti racist, proud Briton, who lives in the tax haven of Monaco. It's laughable!
@@sharp78htdc61 Exactly, and used over 40,000 Slaves/Forced Labourers in factories during WW2, treated appallingly and many died in captivity.
11:10 *I thought this contributor **_Matthew Syed_** spoke a lot of common sense up to this point, and then true Colours were revealed. Starmer his flip-flopping just like his notorious predecessor.*
More common sense. I can't take all this too much in one day. Well said the whole creation of this organisation is distructive and creating more division.
when they start acting live civilized human beings then and only then will they be treated as equal
Well done you. Sounds like you have a great family behind you.
Probably the most underrated “Privilege” you can have.
(Anyone can try to be the best parent)
Never used any social media services, and my life is just fine.
For now. Those tiny minority of self loathing Marxists are on Twitter right now deciding the political future of the west.
except this one?
The royal Welsh guards took the knee in the film Zulu...ha ha....bang bang...
Fascinating interview. Matthew Syed's book 'Bounce', in which he examines the myth of talent in sport, is well worth a read
For the people at the top of this movement, there is an alteriar motive - a career salary.
The police are there to stop arrest those that have or are committing crimes, and in doing so protect the public. In defunding, the police would make this country even more unsafe than it is now. If you are doing nothing wrong then you have nothing to fear, some time back we did have a safe country but things have changed for the worst of the years, and there's one reason for that.
Communists have been unable to rile up the working classes around the world, as most working people have seen direct benefit from working within the capitalist system and have already seen the failures of socialism in their lifetime and the damage it caused to their peers in communist countries. So much so actually that people from all continents line up outside our borders to get a taste. The new marxists are focusing on traits like race, gender to rile up support for their movement as they can tap into and take advantage of the supposed oppression in these terms. It’s no surprise that marxists run every single racial or gender related activism around the world and have been using intersectional theory to their benefit. Wake up people!
They're about REVENGE and supremacy and not reconciliation
How many people would read a newspaper article and the put pen to paper, put it in an envelope then go to the post office to buy a stamp and post it!
No more than 50 I’d bet
Yes !!!
When askedwhether he knew what "Institutional Racism" is, he would be better off asking her what she meant by it, since it was her point. I have seen several rather different definitions, some of which are so wide as to be meaningless, others very specific and talking about particular METHODOLOGIES or established BEHAVIOURS in the organization as racist. Of course behaviours belong to individuals, so there are difficulties with most definitions.
There is an immediate problem: The NYPD which most people would agree has a bigger problem than the London Met has 53%+ non-white personnel. So more explanations are needed...
100% many want physical revenge
Do people fail at interviews due to being shit??
MARXISM! Duh!
What would happen if whites started destroying statues in Africa ?
Where the fuck is Joseph McCarthy when you need him?
Twitter - its in the name ffs!
This reminds me of the Bolshevik revolution lead by you know who...who controls media, Hollywood and schools. Who has the greatest influence on the government and owns banks?
Mmm let me think!!! 🙄
Free men only kneel for god and dead men. The Queen is acceptable too, if you’re a monarchist.
Free men never kneel to the mob.
It’s a very tiny minority of people.
Use Parler. No censoring there.
Of course it does!
Boris is charismatic?? You learn something every day 😀
The Internet - a machine for turning information into data. Complete with noise.
Starmers middle name is Neil 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
what great energy build up is he on about? dreadful energy built on hate
YES they do have another agenda.
...of course it does....duh!
Labour went with the wrong milliband
Do bears crap in the woods? Is the pope a Catholic?
2:33 What the fuck is he talking about? Its very hard to identify because no one EVER puts their finger on it. They trot out inequality of outcome stats as though they actually tell us anything at all about discrimination
I don’t know what is BLM, but I can tell that we live in systematic racism, again on my own opinion, why should I be stop and search 4-6 a month going to work or shopping. I have seen where I was stop check in a motor,when ask the police what have I done he said there suspicions of county line and that was me been late 1hour 40 minutes late to work and my boss to have go at me infront on work mates
lackB life matters but lackB lives matter can take a hike.
Twitter -a global competition to find who is twitter than who.
I cannot watch sky football anymore with all this knee bending nonsense
Agenda 21.
Stop overthinking twitter. It’s the naughty kids hanging around the bike sheds smoking and having millimetre deep understanding of anything. Forcing people to converse using the digital equivalent of two tins and a piece of string is utterly stupid.
The Labour Party are the party of Aspiration, but God forbid you actually Attain.
Somebody denied a promotion because of the colour of their skin. How would you prove that, beyond any doubt? I can give you a number of instances in which if you put a black person in them, it would change the whole dynamic.
Yes
It’s the ping pong guy
Symbolism.....No
Tokenism YES
You really need to ask ^^ ffs
Nothing to do with improving equality.
Well said Mattew Syed... Common sense in a nutshell...
Well, if they think Twitter is bad. They should visit any (in particular r/debateavegan) debating forum on Reddit.
Well Reddit basically purged any groups that weren't completely far left ages ago.
Twitter=Cesspool
I take the knee only to God.
Its wonderful to see so many black folks in TV adverts smiling and happy sitting on sofas, cooking, driving and going through their healthy bank statements with their bank managers.
This shows that companies and advertising agents care' deeply' for the well being of the oppressed and unhappy victims of white privilege.
Brings a warm glow to our hearts.
Aaaaahh durrrr!
Ya think.....? 🤫
Do you think for yourself if you follow religion?
Duh. Really...you thibk? (God help us from these talking heads!)
Syed is not very well informed.
It's got to the point, it's getting really boring now.. Can you not just talk bout something else.. Don't talk bout it, it soon go away
Have you heard of Black lives MAGA
If you don't like our history go live somewhere else
This guy clearly doesn’t know much about MLK, if he did he would know that it wasn’t the peaceful protests that brought about the change, but economic and purchasing activities of black African Americans and tactical protest.
People the S to repeat the same talking points so often they believe those points to be true!
