Bristol Labour Council disrespect for Black Lives Matter


Bristol Council is overwhelmingly Labour. You wouldn't know it from their abiding respect for slaver Colston whose statue they refused to remove. You wouldn't know it from the disrespect shown to Jen Reid. It didn't take them long to remove the statue of the black lives matter protestor.



"Black Lives Matter" is a simple statement of fact.

A disproportionate number of black people die in police custody.

The number of people from minority ethnic communities who are subject to stop and search is something which ought to be investigated.

The worst examples of public photographed violence come from America. This does not mean that things are not happening behind closed doors.

Nobody ought to die in police custody and nobody ought to be subjected to stop and search without due cause. To suggest otherwise would be disingenuous mendacity.
