    The fact that Sky are still using the static Black Lives Matter slogan during their ad breaks during Soccer Saturday is also a disgrace.
    If they were using a Labour or Tory message there would be immediate calls to take it down as it purports to support of a political party to the exclusion of others.
    So what's the excuse with BLM ?

    Sky TV - grow up and take it down !

    It will end up counter productive, people will turn away from organisations like Sky, BBC and the National Trust etc.

    Personally I would never have Sky, this is almost certainly my last year paying for a TV licence considering the tripe on offer, I will look into a fully legal way to opt out and I have already dropped National Trust.

    A recent survey claimed that at least 75% of all that masquerades on the BBC as a comedian is left wing.

    BLM is a divide to conquer establishment … they are a one sided egoistically sated pinnacle. I DO LOVE STATS as you all know!!!!!! and rather than be bored I look at most things with a view to past present and future! … in the past 8 months to Nov 30th [ using old down loaded programmes about 20 odd pre my start date] on a like for like [ company product/s adverts ] basis what has been the change. Reluctant to post my findings but there is a massive swing 53% from July, halfway point, from one side to the other!! hard to tell if Companies are doing this because product is aimed at particular group, or is aimed at "jumping on the band wagon"..... in present clime!

    hopefully Millwall will have set an example, sport needs KICK IT OUT [ something that is meaningful ] more than 1 institution being hell bent on self centred twisting of what suits ……
    I would like to see City hold up the banner "kick it out" before everygame … and tv broadcasts start each game [ even should it be just a 60 secs on EFL Quest clip of goals ] and any interview boards have at least 2 slots in view …..

    Kids today boycotting social media?

    How would they cope without being able to watch vacuous mega rich morons, encouraging them to buy **** that they don't need, because said morons get paid millions + get all of their **** free and somehow believing that is real life.

    I would suggest just like kids who game 24/7 that particular boat sailed over 20 years ago, we live in an age where a 13 year old from deepest Cornwall could find enough vile far right nazi **** on the internet to turn him into a dangerous individual.

    I may be conflicted about the validity of millionaire football players making political statements, but Thiery Henry now not using social media and urging others to do similar because of on line racism makes sense. Tech companies can do something about how their platforms are used. They control them and will if enough people withdraw from using their platforms.

    I can agree with what you have stated but regrettably money will always take precedence over humanity and common sense. Before we can change this blot on our society we will need to change the prejudices of a lifetime that have been permanently etched on people's brains if we truly want racial harmony. Our historical past when we treated the colonial citizens as second class people hasn't exactly been a library of good things to be held up as good methodology for racial togetherness.
    Unfortunately I think there is way too much fault on both sides and today's political correctness is getting out of hand and doing nothing to solve the issue and the problem will continue for eons.

    there seems to be quite a strong opinion from certain areas of the black community that BLM /TAKING THE KNEE has run its course and is doing more harm than good ...it is a distraction and fuel to the fire of extremist's
