Nefaria Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) I was in Birmingham city centre the other day (more specifically walking up New Street, a group of Iranians were protesting about mistreatment of women there but also about the BBC here… but I couldn’t help thinking why are you protesting in this specific spot? No where near the BBC or Iran! The men also made me feel quite uncomfortable as the stared at me as I walked past, ironic considering what they were protesting about! Why do people protest in this country about what happens in others that we have no control over? What exactly are they going to achieve? It seems to be happening more and more lately, the bending of the knee stuff that spread is part of it too.

numnuts Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) No, the Chinese shouldn't have reacted like they did. However, it looks like at least some of the protesters were trying to goad them. If only some of our own M.P.'s were as concerned, when it comes to U.K. police officers assaulting members of the public, who are not even protesting and only peacefully filming in public. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-63296107 'Chinese diplomat involved in protester attack, says UK MP.'
