Black Lives Matter Blocks British Airports Because… Racism. Of Course.

This is how you get your point across if you’re a progressive – if you can’t contribute to society, make sure those who ARE contributing can’t do it until they give in to your stupid demands.

According to this, Black Lives Matter protesters in Britain blocked the roads to Heathrow and Birmingham airports. Protesters held up signs and chanted at the people trying to drive into the airports and catch flights on business trips, family vacations, or wherever else they were trying to go.

Yeah… that’s going to make people sympathetic to your stupid cause.

Activists in Britain today chained themselves together and stood across approach roads to Heathrow and Birmingham airports, while in the centre of Nottingham, four protesters lay across tram tracks.
The coordinated actions across the country caused chaos for hundreds of people trying to catch holiday flights and on their way to work.
In Birmingham, an ambulance was delayed as paramedics tried to get a patient to Heartlands Hospital along the blocked A45.

Blocking people from catching flights is bad enough, but blocking an ambulance with a patient on the way to the hospital? Seriously not cool.

Apparently, BLM was calling for a nationwide shutdown. They laid in front of train tracks as well in stood in front of busy highways –

Black Lives Matter UK tweeted this morning: ‘We call a nationwide #Shutdown: 05.08.16. #Shutdown racism. #Shutdown violence. #Shutdown borders. #BlackLivesMatter’

Pictures posted on the organisations Twitter feed show protesters lying in a row across the road beneath a banner which says: ‘This is a crisis.’

Video footage shows police officers negotiating with the groups, while chants of ‘black lives matter’ ring out.

British people who were inconvenienced by BLM’s shenanigans were, to borrow a phrase from Queen Victoria, not amused –

The demonstrations received an unsympathetic response from Twitter users, who said they were disrupting family holidays and people trying to work.
George Howe, wrote: ‘All the families on their way to Heathrow that have worked hard all year round to have a holiday and you get a load berks with a banner.’
David Malley added: ‘I’m all for equality but how does stopping hard working people from going on holiday at Heathrow help? #BlackLivesMatter’
Becca Anastasia tweeted: ‘#blacklivesmatter blocking Heathrow is pathetic, people work hard all year round to go on holiday..why aren’t these people at work?’
And Lady Durrant wrote: ‘How utterly selfish! Why ruin innocent people’s holiday or work? Every life matters, not just #BlackLivesMatter’

This begs the question – has there actually been any reports of police brutality (real or imagined) in Britain? Why is this anti-police thing spreading into other countries? Or is this more than just protesting the police? Is this just protesting because you have nothing better to do than to cause havoc and mayhem wherever you go (and getting a job is just too much to ask)?

I’m guessing it’s the latter.
