The thing is probably over 90% of the abuse the penalty missers received were because they missed their penalties, the same had Kane or Maguire missed, which is what being inclusive is all about abusing people equally, as usual the media highlights the minority who went over the top so the gullible public feel sorry for the poor little luvvies, its coming to the stage where it will be illegal to abuse people if they are BAME but if you have a big nose,ginger hair,no hair,a dodgy haircut,fat,skinny,just plain ugly that's acceptable. On a personal level if I was sad enough to vent my spleen on social media I would had abused Rashford for being a flash **** and Southgate for bringing politics into the penalty taking and trying to make heroes out of Saka and Sanchez when there were at least three ahead of them in the penalty taking pecking order.
****ing hell.... a far left Millwall fan. "Abuse people equally" should be the clubs new motto. That sentence genuinely made me laugh out loud!
Race has never been a issue with most football fans Emu, you are either good and the fans love you or you are **** and the fans hate you. It's been a long time since I've been called a leftie!!
serious buyers beware, this card is of no use.....the privileges are make believe better off with a new race card, although the market is getting saturated still way better value
Whenever im feeling down reading the **** in the papers or watching YouTube no matter if its dingy divers,rape abuse gangs, knifings, thieves, cheats or general scumbags, I know i can come on here and you boys make my day, always put a smile on my face, and have already covered with some brilliant witty reply, to a topic i was going to comment on, only to find it has already been covered and i couldn't have worded it better. Thank you guys you are a treasure to behold, and im proud to be one of your adopted brethren.
A good read from Dublin lass Ruth Dudley Edwards. Ruth Dudley Edwards: Weak people have let woke ‘anti-racist’ bullies thrive I was at a debate at the Oxford Union last week that was supposed to be about the writing of history, but morphed into a series of mostly impassioned denunciations of racism. Not for the first time, I got on the wrong side of an audience because I hate easy sentiment and platitudes and find it difficult to let them go unchallenged. So I began by contradicting a speaker who in a moving speech about 1960s English racism had referred to the signs on boarding houses saying “No blacks, no Irish, no dogs”. Now, I emigrated to England in 1965. In the Dublin in which I had grown up, it was a very rare person who publicly challenged its oppressive and puritanical version of Roman Catholicism and/or the ideological worship of dead revolutionaries and I loved England for its freedom of speech and – compared to the rest of the world – its tolerance of other races. Although I have heard innumerable speakers refer to the blacks / Irish / dogs signs as a well-known fact, to my knowledge no researcher has yet come up with any evidence for them whatsoever. Yes, there were landladies who didn’t want dogs, which was fair enough. There were those who had no experience of immigrants of colour and initially excluded them for fear of the unknown, which was understandable. And there were others who knew Irishmen whose drinking habits they found disruptive and played safe. putting the three together, however, gave a chilling impression of heartless, dehumanising English landladies, and my guess is that it was the creation of a smart Irish grievance-monger who enjoyed embroidering the persuasive Anglophobic MOPE (Most Oppressed People Ever) narrative that Irish republicans have successfully spread worldwide. Explaining that won me no friends. Instead of being pedantic, I could have described how my family and my childhood reading had made me an early hater of racism. As an 18-year-old in Baltimore in 1963, I walked out of my vacation job because I was refused an unpaid day off to join the march on Washington. On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial that day Martin Luther King made the “I Have a Dream” speech that resonated around the free world. I am still moved by the sentence: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character.” Amen. But today’s anti-racist campaigners have no time for that. They are no longer interested in being colour-blind and giving everyone a fair chance. It’s all about identity politics and competing victimhoods and ignoramuses are being accorded by weak teachers, academics, police and politicians a deference they do not deserve and encourages bullying The videoed, horrible murder of George Floyd gave an overindulged generation an easy cause. Another heresy I uttered last week that caused shock was that it wasn’t a racist murder – something that was pointed out by the Minnesota attorney general. Derek Chauvin was simply a brute. I came across a peaceful Black Lives Matter March in June last year in Parliament Square, searched for Antifa (self-styled anti-fascist) trouble-makers and found a group of young whites with balaclavas. I asked about the headgear, and was told that it was because action might be required. “Let me educate you,” offered one of them, which is a particularly annoying mantra from young people who consistently demonstrate not just extraordinary ignorance of almost everything but a hostility to hearing any opinions they don’t like. It has just been neatly summed up in a brilliant essay by the Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: “People who ask you to ‘educate’ yourself while not having actually read any books themselves, while not being able to intelligently defend their own ideological positions, because by ‘educate,’ they actually mean ‘parrot what I say, flatten all nuance, wish away complexity’.” I got nowhere either in Oxford with the statistics I suggested could make us proud in an EU report on discrimination that showed the UK as possibly the least racist society in the world: 88% of us would have no problem with someone of a different ethnicity being Prime Minister; 95% are happy to work with someone of another race; and 86% would be happy for one of their children to be in a loving relationship with someone of a different race. The Woke movement, which claims to be about social justice, is quite simply racist and totalitarian. One of its outlets, Stop Funding Hate, has been trying to close down the new free-speech, right-of-centre television station, GBNews, by bullying advertisers into withdrawing support. Academics have turned on free speech, for instance, refusing to teach in Oriel College unless it removes a statue of the imperialist and philanthropist Cecil Rhodes. The Chinese are engaged in persecuting millions of Uighurs and brutally eradicating their culture. I’m still waiting for an explanation of why the Woke young would rather demonstrate against long-dead imperialists.
Interesting how she refers’s to landladies. As I remember you could be a landladie (single women) but not a landlord ( single male) to own or run a pub. A landlord of a pub had to be married. Equality?
What a fantastic bit of penmanship, totally agree with the view points of what was written and can find no criticism except that there is no mention of Travellers in England ,and the amount of destruction they leave in their wake, as they move on from town to town destroying all before them. Its about time police were given the powers to act as needed, and to size property ,deport ect, Australia wouldnt put up with it so i hear, and the group there were only on holliday.
Evening Este, never knew that about landlords of pubs had to be married, every day is a learning day eh?
Zero tolerance is what’s required. Start with the lefty woke, illegal migrants, pikeys and drug addicts. The country would become a better place almost overnight.
The remark about Landladies was correct speech for that time, in my junior years i never saw a black face until i was 12,Then went for a night out to South Shields, with friend to the clubs there, the coloured ladies could dance very well and provocatively, and one dance i was hooked she put her leg between mine grabbed my arse and gave me the ride of my life on the dance floor, after the dance i couldn't sit down i had red hot singer on and she knew it, tight flairs didn't help my case. Anyway you boys know the rest of the story ( once you've had B) I was well hooked
My Mum's side of my family were Irish, during the late fifties/early sixties all of her brothers and sisters moved to South East London and they all experienced some sort of discrimination, not because they were Irish but not from the 'manor', in the same way Jocks and Northerners got a hard time on occasions. As time went on they were accepted but still on occasions faced resentment which was understandable as the Ira started planting bombs during the seventies, the same would had happened if any other nationality did so. One of my uncles who arrived in the early sixties and settled in Lewisham always used to say he loved it when the West Indians came over in numbers because it took the heat of the Irish!! It was this uncle that introduced me to Millwall as my Dad was a Charlton fan and another uncle was Palace.
We had similar when we first moved to Oz. There was still quite a bit of resentment against 'pommies' in the early seventies, then. Lordy, Lordy, along came the Vietnamese boat people!!! Yaaaahy.
Breaking my rule not to post here, I had to post this - this is a truly heart warming story showing just what fine generous people the English are.
