Got to be a wind up surely. M&S wouldn't be so stupid. Would they?

So you haven't read the M&S statement then?

I think with terms such as white privilege the objections are almost always coming from being told what you are and then being accused of in this case racism if you dare to disagree. If more subtlety was used with the language it would probably make for a far more constructive debate in public life that would hopefully lead to positive outcomes for those who need a leg-up.

Totally agree WCV. The key words are being told!!! Being told by Cameron not to vote Brexit so many dig their heels in and do the opposite! Taking the knee - Southgate what an idiot by going on about unity blah blah and togetherness!! Southgate should have simply said I respect those players who want to take the knee and also respect those who don’t! Equally I respect supporters who hopefully applaud those taking the knee but understand any objections ie booing. To infer those who boo as uneducated is outrageous and any players who don’t want to take the knee will do it for fear of being dropped! Grealish is a revelation but if you asked him in private whether he likes taking the knee - I could guess what the answer would be! Why if Grealish did not want to take the knee for example - why would let’s say Mings care?

Surely everyone is an individual! I have friends who religiously go to church - good for them but they would not expect us to have the same beliefs or values for example!

Going back to the point - everything is going in reverse because people are being told and their views are being inflicted on others!

Then there are white people jumping on the band wagon like the idiot CEO of M & S and pundits to be perceived to be ‘ on side ‘
