Do you think it was for George Floyd, in support of the Black Lives Matter movement ... or as a show against racism? I only know what the players said, will that be enough to convince you?

The debate and issues were around long before GF was murdered and BLM hijacked the cause. You really think players had no idea about the NFL movement or experiences of racism themselves ? You've dodged the question twice now love. x WTF are you going on about 😂😂 yes some players may have known, they didn’t seem to concerned about it though (well apart from a Berlin side) The same goes with all other sports around the world. Then when some guy got dead they all started to take the knee. It had fuck all to do with racism is sport as others and apparently Saka and Rashford have said. Some Clubs and organisations came out straight away and said they were supporting GF and BLM. They’re facts. Back to the beginning. What I and others have said is the knee started here (not Germany or America) because of GF and BLM ✊🏿. If you think it was for another reason then more fool you. Gullible was the term being used earlier. Toodle pip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it did take a double post. You're still struggling to grasp that racism in sport and racism in other areas of life are all fairly connected experiences. We'll save that for another day though ey 🙂 Take it easy x Edited October 2, 2023 by London Wanderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movement started here because of GF. His death was the cause here in UK. BLM was used until others got wise. Then it changed to racism and ALL forms of discrimination. It became worthless because it literally included everyone. The disabled, Gingers, The fat, Four eyes, People with lisps, The poor, The scouse etc. Basically no one should say mean and nasty words to each other. The founders of BLM ran off with all the money. It's no wonder it faded away and most distanced themselves from it. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted October 3, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted October 3, 2023 The seven bins idea was something mooted by defra in 2018. Won't happen. The meat tax thing isn't a policy of any party, though they've no doubt utilised things like this: https://labourlist.org/2023/09/our-research-shows-voters-want-to-cut-meat-consumption-labour-policy-must-reflect-this/ Spouting bollocks of course, though it's not a trait unique to one party.

mickbrown Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Don’t forget the bit about how they will stop councils from telling how often we can go to the shops. They’re a bunch of fucking moonmen. 80 seat majority to just outright making shit up to scrabble around for a few votes in the space of 4 years. It’s quite impressive when you think about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
