I shall be very saddened if members of the crowd at Wembley decide to boo the players while they are making an anti-racism gesture before the game tonight.

I haven't witnessed it in any other country - but I may have missed something, not having seen every game.
 
So you admit that in at least some cases kneeling like she does is point scoring for vacuous public figures trying to earn social credit? Earning social credit while appearing confontional and edgy despite no one ever being sacked or legally pursued for being woke?

Is there such a thing as virtue signalling in this world? .....Sure.

Doesn't mean I'll boo those taking a knee on the assumption that it is the prime motivator for them opting to do so though.



(Do you not think those that lean right never virtue signal to their own kin?)

Well I'm glad we agree. I've never voted tory, I don't like jingoism (which is probably the right wing equivalent).

But don't you also see that the Rapinhoes of this world not only virtue signal but also attack often innocent people, getting them cancelled and using mob rule to stifle them.

If you can agree on that too, then all we are talking about is degree and proportion. You have your life experiences and I have mine.

I didn't ask you if you've voted Tory..... I asked if the right also virtue signal their own values to their kin?

Why are you taking me down the path of needing me to convey that I don't deny XYZ things that I've not spoken upon?

Why are things being twisted to be about why YOU won't take the knee?

Why are you now deviating onto cancel culture?

=====================​

I support the England team kneeling in support of an anti-racisn message.

ok good luck
 
Outing the BLM as being racist does not make me a racist now does it?
Following your warped lefty logic, that automatically makes the BLM racist as they are always making accusations of racism. I'm too smart for you Rocky. The irony of you calling me ignorant...
Ahab Ahab , do you agree that racism should be condemned and police brutality against blacks should be addressed? This is the essence of the BLM movement for the majority of normal people. Focusing on what a small minority of people may or may not be doing outside of this is just getting away from the point. Focus on the positives of the movement/message instead of finding reasons to hate.

All lives matter and racism anywhere is wrong. The BLM is a fraudulent movement. They don't even care about blacks. They care more about us.
 
Since when has any of this been about whether you or Ahab Ahab kneel?

A: Never.

One shouldn't need a pat on the back for not being racist either.

Rapino is a twat..... Not sure there's any greater point on display here.
I like to think I am a good judge of character. I have always thought Megan is a bitter and twisted woman.
My policy is no surrender to the BLM. Like it or lump it.
 
Here's an example :



Ahab Ahab has made a number of statements in this post and I genuinely have no idea if they are factual or not.
But nobody has said that they're BS, incorrect, and produced evidence that they are BS, they've only ignored the points and attacked the poster.
Of course it could be argued that Ahab Ahab has not produced evidence of them being factual either, but that is a different thing to attacking the poster.
