    I'm willing to agree to that, other than they are not "my lot," rather I do agree with that, but why aren't you willing to acknowledge yours? Why not own it? It seems like the usual response is "what about the other guy?"

    I don't condone criminal behavior in any shape or form and definitely not by Prime Ministers and Presidents.

    The phrase has become too cliched and is now divisive.

    The desire is for Social Justice and elimination of police brutality. Universal themes.

    There is a need for a new rallying call that is more inclusive and sensible.

    Probably hang anyone who says he doesn't want to do it, fine if they are given the option, a bit Nazi rule if it's compulsory. Hope any that don't want to do it tell them fook off.

    Seen some nut job on tv earlier today, thought I might learn something about the racism he grew up with so watched it, and this is the best he had. When he was a kid at school the official term was, PEOPLE OF COLOUR, and one day some real racist teacher called them COLOURED PEOPLE, well I was shocked, did this really happen. <yikes>

    The problems of the British education system exposed, once and for all!

    The proper spelling is color and colored!

    The best I've seen was on YouTube by Denzel Washington I think it was, he said don't discribe people as Black, Brown, White, Christian, Jew, Muslim etc just say person.

    Despite what Donald may think, the word is English and stupid yanks can't spell it.

    Well its a real mouthful to use the term "Black, Brown, White, Christian, Jew and Muslim" for someone who identifies as such. Referring to him/her as "person" probably works more better! :emoticon-0105-wink:

    HOW DARE YOU!?!?!?

    Accusing trump of actually having the ability to think, never mind the act of thinking...

    For the record, we spell "it" exactly the same as you do!

    They don’t know they are born Chesh, when I was 15 (1980) me and my black mate got beat up, I got a worse kicking because I was hanging around with a cone.

    Was reading it in a fairly neutral manner right up until Jenas appeared. I have absolutely no time for him & his opinions. TBF, his last paragraph did me laugh out loud. I think he's trying to say that black people should get high profile football jobs because they're black. Qualifications for the job don't appear to come into it. And that's when me & 'anti-racism' brigade part the way. Bugger the meritocracy, promote the black geezer that can almost lace his own football boots now!

    Mighty only turns up when Leeds have a bad run and Millwall win, so like 2 days a season now.
