O/T:- Impressed with the leadership

Only seen the ‘highlights’ of the debate. The biggest surprise for me is that there’s a far right militia group called ‘The Proud Boys’.

What a sh!t name. Violent white supremacists can’t even think of a decent name for their poxy club.

Some reaction like this was bound to happen, what with the embarrasing "taking the knee". And Black Lives Matter being non-racist of course was OK but anyone attempting to promote White Lives Matter is a raving racist. Yer average man-in-the-street will only put up with so much pushing before he says "this load of bo11ocks is getting out of control" and he starts to rebel against undeserved criticism of him not parading through the streets arm in arm with some black stranger.

Probably a nod to Gay Pride Marches.

Whilst we are the subject of silly names, what about a dance troupe called........ Diversity, whose members are all black. I did think at first that my application was rejected because I can dance better than any of them.....

When I'm allowed to watch Notts and England games again, if they CHOOSE to take the knee, I will boo them.

Actually Navy, they are not all black (just checked)

Who cares about the facts? There is a fake culture war going on to distract the general public form the absolute sh!t show of this governments own making. If we can deem we are offended then it's fine - go red in the face and send your complaint to ofcom.

I'd understand people booing, but until we can gauge the collective mood on the terraces, I think it would be wiser to just carry on singing or start a pure football related chant as if you haven't noticed or, if you have to express disapproval, opt for the whistle (such as when keepers are wasting time). If this nonsense is still a thing at football grounds when fans return in significant numbers then you can bet the media will be looking for people who hold up "All Lives Matter" banners or whatever for public shaming.

I stand corrected Banjo, they have a member called Sam Craske who is white (unless he was driving the car that Dawn Butler was a passenger, in when stopped, then he'd be black). Apologies all round but I'm still a better dancer than any of them.

I'm gonna boo.

I hear you do a very swervy fandango
