I wonder about the legality of this?

A carrot is a vegetable.

Saying that does not imply that cabbages are not vegetables.

It does not imply that you hate turnips

It does not imply that you think peas have less value.

It is simply a statement of fact.

It can only annoy people who somehow feel it is untrue.

Saying it does not justify people to pursue you, shouting "beetroots are vegetables" or "all vegetables matter."
If somebody did that, you would have to wonder why they got angry to hear you say that a carrot is a vegetable.

Is that an analogy for black lives matter, or white lives matter ?

All lives matter...

But sadly the reality is that in many places black lives matter less as far as the authorities are concerned.

So the real issue is that black lives should be treated as equal to white lives...

Or would you rather white lives being treated as black lives currently are?

True, but it seems that white people are being sacked, and not black, fair ? Can't have it both ways.

No thanks. I have no desire to live in fear of being stabbed by someone of my own race. Let’s be honest, you dont hear of many white on white stabbings do you?

If the banner waving employee has brought the firm into disrepute, I would expect that to suffice.

Yep, a quick look at the company web page, the industry, the markets, the employees, I would think the company is well justified in dismissing an employee who exhibits potential racial prejudice

WTF? How is it racial prejudice? The police have already said there was no crime.

White lives matter, is no different to Black Lives Matter FFS

And your knowledge of employment law is lacking regarding bringing the firm in to disrepute
 
FFS. Why don't people get it? White lives have ALWAYS mattered. BLM is a anti-racist movement, it's saying their lives matter and NOT saying white lives don't. It's about ending racism - that is all.

Why are people so incredibly stupid/precious/childish at times?

BLM is asking for equality, but sacking people for displaying WLM banners/placards and not BLM ones is hardly that, is it ?

OK, you're being daft - not something I'd ever associate with you - you're normally very very sharp.

Not daft, pragmatic. Discrimination due to colour is illegal, so why is it ok for one group to display a slogan, and for another it cost's you your job. If a black person got sacked, and not the white person, there would be uproar, and rightly so.

Claim
Two thirds of knife offenders under 25 were black or minority ethnic.

Conclusion
In England and Wales 38% of knife possession offenders under 25s were non-white in 2017. It was two thirds in London.

The conclusion backs up my statement for my area. That’s only knife possession figures though. I was referring to actual black on black knife attacks my work/residential areas as that’s normally featured on my local news and newspapers etc. It may well be different in, I don’t know, Surrey for example.

Whilst not conclusive, the first image I came across when I googled 'wanted for knife crime London' was this. Looking at this, it would appear that black people in general are wanted by the Met Police for actually using a knife and the non black people just put the boot in. I just know this will be deleted......

Because it's not just a WLM slogan is it? Put it in context...

Context ? they both are advocating their thoughts on races, black and white, there can't be one right and one wrong. The WLM may have racist undertones, but can't the same be said for BLM, highjacked by the rent a mob who just want to cause trouble.If the banner read WLM more than BLM, then that would be a different kettle of fish, but it didn't.

There's 2 black people there. 3 White.

I'm not taking away that there's too many stabbings, especially in London by the black community. But stabbing is a multicultural problem and your image shows this.
