Off Topic The Politics Thread

I would boo, because taking the knee is a submissive act to a Marxist organisation. If you don't believe me, research Patrisse Cullors. She is a BLM co founder and admits they were "trained Marxists".

There's some aggressive stuff in Twitter on both sides. It won't go away and meanwhile, race relations could be set back years.

 

For ****'s sake! Southgate and the England squad have stated that their gesture is against racism, not in support of any political movement.

With that knowledge, if you would still boo, I consider you to be racist.

 

There was bound to be a backlash following the utter mess the EU made of the vaccine programme. The time it will really show is when voters in EU states go to the polling booths.

 

I've said before its the gesture that counts. If a team gives Nazi salutes and tell everyone they're just waving, do you just buy that? The Marxist founders of BLM and taking the knee are inextricably linked whatever Southgate may say.

It has nothing to do with racism but carry on throwing around slurs if it makes you feel better.

 

Yeah like you. Sadly like many others you miss the point. You all go in one direction.
I have never watched QofS and if this Alex girl is better than what they have then good luck to her. The ratings will tell us that.

Er...kneeling to pray. Is that what the England team will be doing on Sunday?

No.

 

If Southgate simply agreed for players to link arms in solidarity at the Kick Out Racism message, there'd be none of these problems

 

Feel free to explain the point then.

 

Sadly as soon as you question anything, you are a racist on here. You are not allowed to say George Floyd was a nasty piece of work who stuck a gun in a pregnant womans stomach saying he would kill her baby. Or the fact he was jailed 11 times for drugs and violence. What a charming roll model. We are not allowed to say that.

 

You just did though. What happens now?

 

Exactly the KROF campaign worked and was respected. It's now gone very political.

 

What a croc of ****. People would still boo. Its a gesture to kick racism out of sport. I think anyone who boos are the people withe the real issues.

 

Stroller accuses him of racism.

 

Thanks for your usual intelligent contribution to the debate.

 

If anyone is thick enough to use Floyd’s past as mitigation for Chauvin’s crimes then that’s the least of their worries.

 

No problem, somerimes its easier to drop down to the same level, even playing field and all that.

 

Is that what you think Ellers was doing? He didn't mention Chauvin, who is rightly banged up for what he did.

 

He's right, though.

Here's a bit of history for you...

No mention of Marxism.

 

When I mentioned about the poppy on the shirt he told me to speak to my MP. That was an intelligent answer from Bob.
