Jordon Henderson

He will be back with a full bodied reply about 12 am…when bottles empty…!..

And he's building a new five story mansion. Before a trip on route 66

Virtue signalling is OK, as long as it doesn't cost you any money.

Yes indeed
I’m not aware of anyone refusing to buy petrol as a stance against the Saudi regime
Isn’t that a bit hypocritical

Maybe if the public had boycotted the fuel at the pumps in the first instance, and walked instead of using their car, then Mr Henderson might have followed

Perhaps a lead by example scenario

Correct.

On an immediate, visceral level, of course Crashbang and Millertop are right - but the problem is that they, like the lad in the Newcy fanzine, have all been distracted from the real issue IMO
This shouldn't be about Henderson but about a system that commoditises people and then hangs them out to dry - 'They' absolutely want your ire directed at Henderson, rather than the system - CB and MT (as we all do almost all of the time) have fallen for that IMO and (as we all do almost all of the time) fallen into the trap of starting a fight among ourselves by CB attacking Brin, thereby enabling the system just as much as Henderson......
Just my 2 pennorth....
There's a great quotation from Chomsky about this trap- “The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum — even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.”

True FB, you're absolutely right but in practice that's a lot easier said than done which is why we all fall for it almost all of the time....

We’re all hypocrites at some point but probably don’t realise it. He knew what he was doing and spoke up about it but proceeded to go there

If we come up against FGR I won’t be there. I also won’t be there at Wednesday/Leeds ground but others will

Anyway he won’t lose sleep over it

A great player for Liverpool, and he is no different to many other sports personalities and celebrities, they will say anything to be popular and do anything for money. best thing to do is when a celebrity campaigns for something, assume there is somebody rich behind it making a lot of money, that way you are rarely disapointed.
Before the UK or the wider west start preaching about human rights a good look in the mirror is advised, the veneer of purity is hiding a full set of horrors behind it, and our own liberties are under a huge threat at the moment, by an insane parliament riddled with psychos and hypocrits.
Rant over )

Anyone boycott the world cup last year?. Is our government still doing business with the Saudis? Do any British work for Middle east companies? Are people still holidaying over there? As said before, are we still using their fuels?
What a load of hypocrites we are. Is the real issue about the amount of money he receives?

Could also boycott bread/ any grain products over the war in russia
