Watching the scenes in the recent UK protests, in sympathy with the George Floyd US protests, I can't help thinking that the protesters, most of whom were white by the way, have gone much too far. Burning the Union Jack, tearing down statues of 19th century slave traders and defacing other monuments, including Winston Churchill's outside the Palace of Westminster, are simply acts of vandalism. Each perpetrator should have been charged accordingly, but the police have decided to handle the situation with a soft glove approach, which only justifies the vandalism.
Further, many older TV programs are now being axed from Netflix and others because they don't comply with today's 2020 political correctness. This is the thin edge of the wedge, where we can no longer tolerate parody, satire and other risque humour which eventually will bring us all down to the level of the snowflakes who preach this bullshit.
This should be a worrying trend for everyone, including the now trendy gender friendly language being used to further political goals.
And let's not forget that in the UK there are Muslim-only schools, black history months and numerous other organisations that, if they were renamed as white-only would cause a furore. I'm not racist at all, but surely it's about time some common sense prevailed and that we recognised our history for what it is instead of wanting to simply erase it?
