    Dear lord.

    You're advocating a news channel you've never watched yet!?

    On the BBC Neil did a decent job of being impartial, but he has no such obligation at GB News. Also, there will be a great many presenters, and more worryingly, opinion shows.

    People don't like to be told things that challenge their world view. It is likely this channel will provide you with the news with the bias you want it to. People like yourself will no doubt prove very profitable.

    But if you think you're getting a balanced perspective of the world you are deluded.

    I wouldn't boo even though I think its abhorrent, but I wouldn't cheer either for knee taking...I would support something else though
    Its easy to sit back taking shots at a grassroots movement without leadership consensus saying how it needs to do something else for you to support it. It just ignores the reality. Some people will oppose anything aimed at ending racism because they quite like living in a racist society and not being challenged on anything. They will always find an excuse to hide behind.

    Footballers taking a knee to highlight racial discrimination is hardly a demand for a a marxist state, but the right wing snowflakes get incredibly upset by this rather benign gesture while claiming to be "against racism". It baffles the mind.

    Thank you for talking for me. Here was me thinking that I was quite interested in contrasting opinions but you have put that right for me.

    Can you please confirm that I do actually support Rotherham and like Stella and bourbon because I am not sure of anything anymore.

    Wrong board guys. wearing a poppy is making a political statement. It is to do with the politics of war. Waging war is a political act. Arguably probably the biggest political act you can have for human beings.

    Zoom it off mods to the correct place.

    Still some people still need to read up on sociology on here it seems.

    Personally I would fall into this category

    ...Understood in these terms, the fact that some choose on principle not to wear the red poppy is entirely reasonable. To do so is not to insult the dead, but to question the purpose for which it is often said they died. I am profoundly sympathetic to such a sentiment and will quite happily defend the right of people not to wear the British Legion’s poppy (or indeed the right to wear the white poppy in its stead).

    I've no real issue with footballers taking the knee. Each to their own.

    We're at the point where footballers don't appear to have any choice in deciding whether they do or don't. That's simply not right. Many of them are being pressured. It's clear.

    Do away with it.

    I do want to comment so I have have commented pudding or am i not allowed to cos Howdy says so. My comment is that this thread is political and thus on the wrong board. Mod rules not mine. Why did you not say the same to John 2 by the way? Was he not sh it stirring then?

    You really need to learn what the word "political" means owd lad. Its strange how right wing posters on here do not understand what that word means.

    Just to add.

    https://www.tampabay.com/news/nation...xist-movement/

    Sort of pours cold water on BLM being a Marxist movement as dopes like Gm think. Where do you get all the nonsense from which you spout gm?

    Human beings don't all have right wing views, thank God,you may think you have the "correct "world views but millions will disagree with you so get used to it whether you like it or not. I have to put up with a lot of crap on here which irks me but I have learned I have to tolerate it. I suggest you do the same and we can all get on on what is actually a footy message board.

    I've not posted owt about 'politics' or the poppy. Simply taking the knee at football. I don't think every player taking the knee wants to do it.

    What complete and utter drivel you've just posted, as per usual.

    The sh!t stirring is the usual 'it needs to be on the other board'. No one would post anything on the other board yet you say 'I do want to comment so I have have commented'. Haha. Pure class.


    Grow up and let the debate go on.
