With a question
Who said it?
But more importantly the follow up question.
Why did they say it?
"Black Lives Matter brought disordered destruction and violations of the law to America. We don't want that to happen in our country."

Sajid Javid might want to be careful
If he wants to do good
Then Priti Patel also has strong opinions about people who do good

Sorry
I forgot to give you the answer to the first quote
"Black Lives Matter brought disordered destruction and violations of the law to America. We don't want that to happen in our country."

His answer
Was a response to a question on his campaign to murder and silence critics
So the question you have to ask
Is for those that attempt to forment a culture war against Black Lives Matter ask them why?
As the journalist to Vladimir asked.
What are they afraid of?

The question is
If a government could stand on its record
Its achievements over the last decade
Why would it need to stoke a culture war to win?
Why does it need, want, seek your anger?
Why can it not simply point to its achievements?

Brexit
Well that was a success too, right?
After all it got "done"
So it must be a success?
We held all the cards
It was the easiest deal in history

And coronavirus
Well Boris Johnson drops the phrase "world leading" more often than he shags the flag or a vaccine
So surely you wouldn't need a culture war to distract from coronavirus
Alas
No

The question is
To those people who want to campaign
"gesture politics" as Priti Patel makes it clear she doesn't like
Ask Priti Patel
Or anyone who diminishes your protest
How do you campaign non-gesturally?

Do you wear a lapel pin?
Do you clap for carers?
Do you have a flag in your zoom calls?
Do you mock up party fliers with branding?
Do you lie in front of bulldozers? (Boris)
Do you chain yourself to railings? (suffragettes)
Do you sing and march? (Andrea Leadsom)

Or do you do as the Prittster does here
"Priti Patel sought to publicly intervene three times on behalf of an offshore company which has been accused in a British court of obtaining a £100m contract from the Nigerian government through corruption."

So the next time someone criticises Black Lives Matter
Ask them
What do they fear?
