Roy Castle, where are you when we need you?
What were your last words?
I can't breath?

Nothing wrong with people protesting against police brutality. Funny how you link that to immigration.

You should tell that to those marching, they think they are there to support Afrikan Emancipation Day.
"Protesters waving flags and wearing uniforms held the rally to call for repatriations to African nations and descendants of slaves."
Courtesy of the Sun!
Might be the link to illegal immigration you are looking for.

Tells you all you need to know about this thread and the mindset of the originator.

They do it every year on the same day, its nothing to do with police brutality, and the Sun article suggested repatriations (sic) changing the meaning of the story effectively to 'black people March to demand to be sent to Africa' quite clever of the Sun journo's to be honest

Have read the Sun article.
There is a typo in the opening para. That’s not clever journalism. It’s an inconsequential error
The article then goes on to describe the notion of reparations, the 1883 Abolition of Slavery Act, racism and the ongoing social injustice experienced by people of colour. The march was joined by various aligned groups including Black Lives Matters - the current social commentary on police brutality. So - the march has everything to do with race, inequality and social justice.
That people on this forum link this movement to immigration is beyond words.
The issue of immigration is nothing to do with race.
I agree with RHs observation.
Noting Admin Chris’s comment on the Elphicke thread about observing niceties - and the various characters who have liked his statement - am surprised this commentary has attracted no reaction.
To be clear - I totally reject the underlying theme of this thread and can only hope the day arrives where a more enlightened view of the world exists in all people.

Yep tells me its a bit of dark humour intended to elicet a wry smile or offense in the easily offended, maybe even a touch of schadenfreude. Not however to be taken seriously

What is this nonsense about 'people of colour'? I find this woke phrasing typically tortuous and mighty racist. It implies a colourless norm to which the non-colourless are compared. How otherwise could 'people of colour' be 'of colour'? And unless that 'colourless' norm is 'white' (albeit an invisible white) then how would it work? This attempt at politically correct tippy-toeing just reinforces the racism it's designed to avoid.

You clearly don't know the history, Reggie.
