Derby to stop taking the knee.....

The fact that you even mention ‘appeasement’ speaks volumes.
Who’s being forced into ‘submission’ and why is the concept of apology so alien to you?

I support the broad aims of the BLM movement, NOT all of their actions, and I am at a loss to understand how being associated with the WOKE movement is a bad thing. It’s aims are to campaign for social and racial justice...exactly what is wrong with that?

I find it ironic that WOKE - i.e. being alert to social justice and aware of racism in society, is seen as an pejorative term, but then you only have to look at the people using it in that way and then those that so eagerly copy them (being unable to be of original thought themselves) to understand that it merely reflects badly on the person using it!

I'm using the same logic as used for Brexit (and of course thats the only logic that counts in a mainly apathetic world), so for your benefit only 'most of the UK who can be bothered to give a ****'.

So basically your statement was incorrect then, mm follows a pattern with many of your posts.

Ah no TTR, Swale cannot be racist as Greeks and Germans are by and large white and he leads us to believe that he is too....

Yet again despite me providing the correct definition of racism, you still seem incapable of understanding what it actually means, funny and I had you down as a fairly sentient being, mm my mistake.

No idea what Thicky said, but I really don't think that someone who has posted many times about lesser countries, criminal immigrants and "bad" foreigners in general has any credibility suggesting someone else is racist or xenophobic.

I do love the irony that apparently those with a xenophobic tendency in this country, perceive foreigners if they are part of the "British" royal family are apparently acceptable and worthy of genuflecting before! Most bizarre.

Its a regreatable situation for Swale but in current times there is no defence against folk being accused of racism, xenophobia etc, it currently appears that its 'guilty until proved guilty'. I don't actaually mean on this forum, I think all we are doing is 'teasing out the issue', but it is an increasing issue and fuelling a return to intolerance

I think you will find its spelt regrettable! I'm waiting for your explanation as to why my post was in any way xenophobic!

I’m not sure how good the Royal Family are for tourism, GP. History is good for tourism, but do people expect to see the Queen at Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle etc. I suspect not. They’ll continue to visit all the old castles, monuments and stately homes but once this Queen shuffles off, I doubt anyone will even be able to cite the Royal Family as some sort of unifying concept.

Tricky, I didn’t actually need any evidence of your pro-racist agenda but thanks for providing it. ‘WOKE’, the ‘race card’, ‘white, British and not ashamed’, ‘ethnic prisoner’, ‘race board’, ‘Markle’s vendetta’ and ‘Muslim grooming scandal’ all make an appearance in your penultimate post...and that’s before you set off again on another favourite... ‘Abbott and Lammy, blah, blah, blah. It’s almost as if you’re obsessed.

P.S. Just to be clear, I’m white, British and unashamed too, but I do understand how offensive certain monuments to our ‘racist’ past might appear in a modern multicultural society and I’m not going to apologise for that.

Thicky is just a complete **** end of!

Last time I will try to defend you if this is the "thanks"!

So much hate.
You fancy me don't you, Captain ironic?

I saw it GP. They probably don't expect AK47's from us though.
