Take your point, Swale though tbf my initial response to this particular thread was following Andy’s observation and question and the ‘interaction’ with TTR did remain civil.

Coincidentally I was watching Michael Holding at lunchtime today...hardly an example of a militant, left wing extremist but a man I have looked up to both as a sportsman and a commentator for years.
If anyone really wants to understand why taking the knee remains important I’d suggest they listen to Michael’s articulate and emotional explanation. He says it all.
