Convenient that that article was written in April 2023 and related to 2021 ---I wonder which party was in power in the USA at that time? Surely you can find something more up to date BT. They have had a change of POTUS since then.

Indisputably, if the local mayor and governor refuse to sanction their own local police force upholding the law, purely for political reasons, then I'd bring the Marines in, never mind the National Guard.

What I find disturbing is the concept of 'Sanctuary Cities' where criminals are allowed some form of sanctuary from the forces of law and order. One step away from anarchy, totally insane imo.

The guy who burned that poor woman alive on the New York Subway had been arrested 70 odd times and let back out onto the streets every time. Now that is what I call disturbing mon ami, lunatics like that on the streets, the forces of law and order on the streets don't disturb me one little bit.

It's not the Marines who should be on the streets of America it's the warped and crazy US Justice Department that needs closing down. Victims blasted a Chicago judge for freeing a lunatic career criminal who allegedly set a woman on fire aboard a train in a sickening attack on Bethany MaGee in Illinois last week. Magee, 26, was doused in gasoline and set alight on the city's Blue Line last Monday, but managed to flee the train and survive. Her suspected attacker Lawrence Reed is a serial criminal with 72 prior arrests who was freed months earlier by a judge after he allegedly attacked a social worker. Madness.

This is not an April Fool's joke or A1 generated, "The United States is demanding that Lebanon return the GBU-39B precision-guided bomb that was found and did not detonate in Beirut, fearing its advanced technology could fall into the hands of China, Russia, or Iran. FFS!

A couple of decades ago I saw a documentary on how the Ukrainians assisted the Nazis in murdering Jews. Ever since I have sort of not given a rat's arse about the Crimea, Ukraine or the Germans.

The other day black football legend Ian Wright decided to wade into racial politics. Wright gave us the standard bull**** cry baby stuff we have come to expect from many black sporting stars. His comments were in defence of the younger generation black (actually mixed race) player Jude Bellingham. Bellingham has received criticism from England fans and some managers for an alleged attitude problem, most recently in a petulant response to his England manager in a recent game, but also with equal attention focused on what have been deemed disappointing performances. Bellingham, was touted as a superstar and hasn?t really delivered superstar performances. Wright leaped straight past the performance and attitude issues to find the REAL cause of criticism of Bellingham, which was of course RACISM. Bellingham is criticised because he?s black, innit:

I don?t think they?re ready for a black superstar who can move like Jude [Bellingham] is moving. They can?t touch him. He goes out there, he performs, he does what he does, he says ?who else??. It?s too uppity for these people.I?ll put it in football terms. They all love N?Golo Kante. He?s a humble black man, gets on with what he?s doing. Not saying that he?s an Uncle Tom or anything, that?s just how his personality is. But if you get a [Paul] Pogba, or a Bellingham, and you get that kind of energy, that does not sit well with the people. That kind of person. So someone like Jude, for some reason, frightens these people because of his capability and the inspiration he can give. t?s something that you?re taught as a black man when you?re going out there, you just want to do the best you can and keep your head down. And be, for want of a better term, a humble f****** slave. This is dragging up from that kind of energy. Because if you are outspoken, black, and playing to that kind of level and not caring, that frightens certain people. That?s what?s happening with Jude. This guy is obsessed with him. He?s moving off that type of energy. He can?t see a black man doing what Jude is doing and not think that it?s not uppity. That he?s not an uppity ******. I?m going with that. That?s what that comes down to.?

So there you go. Criticise a Jude Bellingham performance, or point out that he acted like a spoilt tw@t when substituted in the 84th minute of a game against the mighty opposition of Albania, and you are a racist who thinks black men should be humble slaves. Bellingham didn?t score in the game, had a couple of good touches, and had an assist for one of the England goals. So an OK performance for a player widely described as one of the most promising talents of the team, but hardly spectacular. He then did a pathetic flounce and pout when substituted. Wright?s unhinged and ridiculous response to the rather mild criticisms Bellingham received is nothing new. It?s a well established pattern now that if a black player is criticised for performance or attitude issues, it must immediately result in the playing of a Race Card in response. Fans basically aren?t allowed to criticise black players who turn up late for training again and again, or wonder why kids are selected to take penalties in key game apparently based on skin colour, or of course object to the constant ramming home of Whites are Racist messaging in football from campaigns like Kick Racism Out or from woke political gestures like taking the knee in response to the national anthem. Insanely, that last BLM bull****, which shows disgusting contempt for white fans and for white majority nation states by pretending they are far more racist than they are, lasted a lot longer in the UK than in the US. Over there, the bull**** has abated somewhat, but in the UK the average white fan going to see a match is still being told that he, somehow, killed George Floyd. Collective white guilt is the opening ceremony of British football matches, and if it?s a Celtic or a Liverpool match is often accompanied by Hate the English and Love Hamas bull**** on top. If it?s not that, it?s Pride armbands and flags, with committed and loyal football fans who just want to see a ball being kicked around negotiating an obstacle course of woke messaging just to get through the ****ing game and get full value for their eye wateringly expensive season tickets.

The straight white fan (the majority of fans) get lectures on their innate evil rather than getting to enjoy the sport they love without politics being shoved down their throats. The relentless wokeness and the corporate greed of the modern game combine to make the whole thing a lot less masculine and working class than it used to be. The sports stadium becomes not a cathedral of athletic excellence or sporting skill, but a venue where frustrated fans find themselves sitting through a kind of progressive sermon every time they want to follow a team. I?m sure US fans of the NFL and the Super Bowl understand what that frustration feels like. The great escape from miserable reality becomes yet another place where you?re beaten over the head for being white, or Christian, or hetero***ual, or male.

On a social media thread I explained in great detail exactly how I got a knock on the door for writing an opinion that was nowhere near as inflammatory as Wright's bull$hit.

I also reminded Ian Wright that he was revered at Turf Moor (and still is) and I cannot ever recall the greatest player that ever lived being denigrated because of the colour of his skin.

On our frequent trips to Spain I notice with a smile that almost every Real Madrid shirt wearing youngster has BELLINGHAM emblazoned across the back of the shirt.

Believe me Ian you are talking reverse racist $hite. Take one look at the tunnel when England are preparing to play an international footy match, it's noticeable that neither Rogers nor his buddy Jude are not exactly Snow White. Leave the racist bull$hit alone please Ian you are making yourself look daft.

I also unerringly refuse to believe that taking the knee will help Bellingham's bottom lip from protruding every time Tuchel refuses to bend to an individual's ego rather than what he considers to be whit is best for the team.
