BLM Fraud

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

BLM Fraud

Post by 2sevensclash »

In the USA millions was stolen and expensive properties acquired by the BLM organisers and as far as know they got away with it but here in the UK .


A Black Lives Matter organiser has pleaded not guilty to fraud charges relating to fundraising pages set up around the time of the demonstration in Bristol that ended with a statue of Edward Colston being toppled into the city’s harbour.

Xahra Saleem, 22, of Briars Walk, Romford, east London, appeared at Bristol Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday accused of two counts of fraud by abuse of position.

The Colston statue was pushed into Bristol harbour on June 7 2020 during protests related to the death of George Floyd in the US, and the subsequent global BLM movement.

Saleem is said to have been one of the organisers of the protest and had set up a crowdfunding page to raise money for face masks and other equipment to help facilitate the march legally, given it was taking place at the time of the Covid-19 pandemic.
