    If you sign up to the forum with a gmail account it filters out the confirmation email you need to click the link on to start posting. It doesn’t even go to your junk folder. I’ve been trying to get it sorted ever since and in the end I had to switch to a Microsoft email account to get the email.

    To be honest it didn’t filter me out when I used a gmail account. I had to use it to reregister when I was locked out of my account with help from OLM. I then changed again as I was notified by my VPN my email address had been part of a leak on this site and another one.

    Maybe I’m just unlucky, but it does seem to be a known issue with XenForo, which is the platform used for the forum. I would have been posting sooner had I been able to contact someone to help. Never got a reply from the contact form.

    I would guess its only people who are more than a little racist who are estimating white people will be in the minority in this country in 26 years time, it would take a hell of a shift as over 80% were classed as white in the last census.
    Also, why would todays teens be well aware of that fact unless they are getting taught this utter rubbish by those close to them??
    And on top of that, so what if it isn't a white dominated country?

    Yes, makes you wonder why 80% of presenters and those in adverts aren’t white. Yet we hear BAMES are under represented.

    What you’re saying about ads and presenters is categorically untrue, and representation is still incredibly poor.

    Claiming that there is some sort of anti-white agenda is quite frankly dangerous rhetoric that can lead to nationalist radicalisation and should be called out for the total bullshit that it is.

    3% of the country is black. More than 3% of presenters and those in adverts are black.
    Don’t you recall some people saying they could not celebrate England women winning the Euros because there were no black players in the team? Yet football is a meritocracy which is why there are so men black players in the England men’s team and clubs. Which is as it should be. There are is often talk of quotas for various organisations. If there was a quota reflecting the ethnicity of the country the England team would look a lot different. And not be as good.

    This is really shocking, I know the twitter account of this moron, who I blocked a while back, and he/she as for a while now been spouting such filth, and I am delighted to hear he has been finally found out. He/she should be named, shamed, and banned from all football for life, and be charged by the police.

    Using social media as a weapon of racial judgement or hate grinds my gears. It’s an attention seeking way out of avoiding confrontation and a potential slap.

    The narrative that there’s an agenda has been pushed to the forefront recently by social media like YouTube and X. Since Musk took over Twitter it’s become a hot mess of racism and xenophobia. Thankfully, it’s mostly an echo chamber of said crap because most sensible people have abandoned it in favour of other stuff.

    Just focusing on the Rosenior comments, it’s just indicative of how empowered people like this feel at the moment and more needs to be done to combat it. There’s always been people like this in society, but their views have been amplified by giving them a platform to spew their bile. I’d love to say that places like Telegram and X are just those same people concentrated in the same place and they’re not growing in size. But I can’t. You need freedom of speech, but the problem needs to be pulled up at the roots, people shouldn’t have thoughts of GRT, anti LGBTQ and white supremacy in the first place and that comes from educating people when they’re younger.

    The government’s prevent program is a joke, something more robust needs to be in place.

    “Too many non white folk on TV”

    “Whataboutary”

    “I just got a crime number”

    Not a case of too many non white folk on TV. A case of idiots saying that TV should reflect society and in favour of quotas elsewhere but then having 3% of the population vastly over represented.
    Good of you to spare time from your fight to save the world and for truth, justice and the Cheshire way to inflict your thoughts on us.

    Let me use your own claims to ask you a question instead. You said it’s okay that England has a large number of black players because that’s a meritocracy. Those players got there because they are clearly talented and deserve it. You also feel there are a too many people of colour on TV as presenters, but, like the England players you mentioned, are they not also be there through merit? Why is one thing merit, and the other bias? You can’t claim one thing and believe the opposite when it suits you.
