Boby Brno Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 BLM is an American movement/political/activist organisation. The problems with racism in America are not the same as the U.K. They are not the same as the rest of Europe. They are not the same as the rest of the world. We don’t need to import their problems here or their politics. Our police are not like the US police. Our political system is not like the US system. We are not America. All BLM has done has created division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shirts to bear the kick it out logo. Maybe an attempt to move away from blm links. Dexy's Midnight Runners are missing out on a trick , if this arm linking takes off !!

Ani Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 So to be clear if the players wear ‘kick it out’ T shirts there is no issue ? QPR previously decided not to take the knee as the message was becoming diluted so if they decide the message needs reinforcing ( is dediluting a word) and take a knee that is ok ? And if the kick it out becomes the norm there is no issue about it being forced down people’s throats ? The only is issue is that BLM is too politicised and the desecration of the war memorials ?

birch-chorley Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I’ve no issue with them taking a knee if they want, just make it perfectly clear that the protest isn’t supporting the BLM movement Think they are half way there already but the media have missed it as much as fans have Others might still see the taking a knee but as a direct link to BLM after the movement forced police officers onto a knee at the riots, I don’t know It’s the clarity about having distanced themselves from BLM that’s the one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Reflecting on @Rudy’s post last night. Thanks for being willing to share, Rudy. Clearly there remain issues, but I feel pride in how different cultures have been able to assimilate into the UK throughout history and especially during my lifetime, when taking account the numbers.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted December 8, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) Were any coppers “made to kneel” in support of BLM or did a cop or two kneel because they wanted to show the protesters that US policing and UK policing are totally different.

Go through videos from the summer. It was either kneel or it kicked off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covid rocks up .no turnover , no income Insurance due in May , tell you what, lets wing it until this is all over and then a bunch of peaceful protesters have the shutters off the front and burn the lot to the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
