Let's look at BLM and what they are doing in the UK, why they are not about equality and why they have aims that most people are more than aware of, yet are too afraid to say out loud! This is not an ordinary group, this group has taken down some high-profile people! 1/
Firstly, let's look at what they state they want on their website - this is the opening part, the part that shows us what they are about and stand for. Here is where most people will get to in "checking" them out. (If they bother at all). 2/
OK, so they have made it clear that they are distancing themselves from BLMUK and have an agenda to fight for racial and social justice in the UK. They state the website was set up in the 2016, and explain why, but why would they distance themselves from BLMUK? 3/
Well, they are going to try to deny all those nasty things that have been associated to BLMUK in recent days - one of which being their clear and unequivocal racism on their Twitter account. Here is an article explaining that. 4/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8468059/Black-Lives-Matters-UK-twitter-account-sparks-outrage-Free-Palestine-message.html
Then how could someone support this? They blame the Police for all the violence, target the rich for being the "real" looters, say we have an illegitimate and racist government and yes, clearly state they want to "defund the police" 5/
So all those rich companies that are pledging money to support them, well you are in their cross-hairs! If you think that they don't want to end capitalism as well, you are mistaken. Here is evidence of that. 6/
So there you have it above, they want to harness the collective power and overthrow capitalism - not at the ballot box, revelations don't happen that way! They also claim that capitalism is about divide and rule. So what do we have, the starting of Marx being quoted! 7/
Let's just do a quick summary on what we have proved so far about this movement in the UK.
1. They are racist.
2. They want to defund the police (actually more later).
3. They want to overthrow our current political system.
None of those things are about stopping... 8/

...discrimination! This group is meant to be about equality, it is hard to find any calls for equality anywhere! Wanting change is fine, trying to hide that you want change and using people to achieve your aims... Well that is something else. Why are the media allowing this? 9/
There is a huge crowdfund that "UKBLM" is raising money for, that we know from earlier tweets the actual BLM movement have said have nothing to do with them, if that is the case, then how is this fund being promoted so well? It has made a fortune. Why, it is not affiliated? 10/
They have doubled their target and raised over 1 million pounds. What is this for? I am sure that those donating their hard-earned money looked and read what it would be spent on right? They are not shy, they state how they will spend the cash quite openly. 11/
Firstly, what laws need changing? I would love for that question to be answered. Why bother looking to change laws when you also want to get rid of the police? These new laws can't be enforced by anyone - that is literally another part of the spending plan! 12/
Then we have the additional, assisting those that have been killed at the hands of the British Police. In the last 10 years, there is 10 black people that have died in police custody, that is during arrest, when arrested or shortly after arrest. 10. 13/
As you can see from the above chart you are more likely to die in police custody (at the hands of police officers) if you are white than any other ethnicity, why are we not up in arms complaining the police are killing us? Because it is roughly 16 people a year. 14/
I think I have provided enough information for people to now make their own minds up, I am not racist! I support equality for all, I will not however support a racist group (No surprise Labour do) that want to end our way of life! Perhaps companies should think again! 15/
The distancing of BLMUK on the main website is strange, it was there when the website was created. It also has to be noted that the UK version has no official affiliation to the American movement, it is not a "chapter" although, the"over" BLM website is up and running. 16/
They are verified on Instagram and a very similar address is verified on Twitter. So they might want to distance themselves, but they are not really making a good go at it. It is also impossible to say "it is a right wing hoax group" when it started at the exact same time... 17/
...that they did. Some crazy coincidence that, have a group setup that you are not a part of but can blame anything that goes wrong on, almost genius... I will have to remember that if I ever start a mass movement, have a "fall" group ready from the start! With no caching. 18/
This site they have made clear since 2016 that they are not affiliated to - really doesn't do much. It doesn't change, there is no information on it, it just sits there as if it is waiting to take the fall when it goes wrong! Oh, let us look at some names of the founders... 19/
...of BLM (the actual site that claims to not have anything to do with BLMUK) they might turn up something. Here is a cashed screenshot of their "about" page going back to the beginning, I wonder what happens when we look these people up! 20/
Gary McFarlane: Well just not a nice person, he has condoned shooting racist cops, and called the seriously hurt policewomen (The one where the brick was thrown at the horse) "Stupid". He is also a member of the Socialist Workers Party. No more needs to be said here. 21/
Kate Hurford: Not much can be found about her, she is involved in various socialist groups, but seems to have kept herself relatively out of the limelight as it were, I have a feeling that Gary is the main person behind this. 22/
Harold Wilson: Well he does write some interesting articles, while others try to deny that they are out to cause trouble, he seems to relish in it. Screenshot below.

Another socialist (seeing a pattern here) 23/

Anthony Hamilton: Yet another socialist, who seems to have something to do with music in the BLM movement (Trying to make some money from this, capitalism? Surely not....) he also quoted the below, article linked: https://socialistworker.co.uk/art/43061/Fury+at+police+killings+in+the+US+sparks+Black+Lives+Matter+protests+across+Britain 24/
Lastly, we have Naima Omar: She has the same socialist ties, there is nothing new or interesting, she has spoken at a few events, highlights how fascism is on the rise...
