...thoughts and prayers for Tory MP Lee Anderson who's missed seeing England roar into the semi finals because he's boycotting their matches over them making a 15 second anti-racism gesture.

I think what gets overlooked too often is that these people are showing that racism is opposed by the left wing and that upsets them. If only the right of politics would oppose it too.


Hahahahahaha.

If only, eh?

If it is not having enough of an effect then why bother. If it's divisive then it's doing more harm than good. I'll be totally honest here and say in my everyday life I don't see a problem with racism in this country. Yes there will always be a small element but as a country I think we are all pretty tolerant.


To paraphrase a poster, as a white bloke posting on TWTD, are your everyday experiences of racism really going be the most relevant.

Tolerant? Give that some thought.

Tolerant of what or whom exactly?

Who needs tolerating then?

I'm getting more than a bit tired of this "I don't encounter it so it doesn't exist" crap.

I dare say Sudbury isn't exactly the world hub for ex BNP members nor is does it rate above 0.2% on the cosmopolitan scale so it's hardly surprising that most white people who live there never experience nor witness racism.

I am genuinely struggling to believe that people can be this small-minded to think that because something doesn't happen right in front of their own eyes must mean it doesn't happen anywhere else.

But do you genuinely believe you’re as well placed to make that judgment, as the England squad who are choosing to make the gesture.

Do you actually believe that?

I’ve always found you a great guy on here, honest, genuine, and with integrity.

But I feel you have this one wrong.

I would imagine he is referring to the Marxist element of the BLM movement rather than the knee gesture in isolation.

No sh1t? I know what he's referring to Pazzers ffs. Not sure he knows what he's talking about though... read up on his side changing and all, he sounds like a careerist with no moral compass.

"De-funding the police." What does that look like in reality?

Infowars bollix.

While we're here, the notion that pro football players are being suckered into a Marxist play is absurd.

Weird that you're a member of a party that's defunded the police over the course of the last decade then, innit.

And besides, the US BLM objective of defunding the police means to divert funds away from heavily-militatrised police forces and into more useful areas such as mental health.

He’s got a point. I’ve never experienced racism either. Never been called a “ni****”, a “c**n” or a black c***t. Never been disadvantaged in an interview. Never built a life and family in a country only to be told decades later that I don’t belong and have to be deported. Obviously it’s all made up.

There is no global movement to "defund" the police. That is a very specific aim localised in America (not all of America either). How does that link to the English national side?

I notice you've graduated from slinking away when asked to that utterance above. Any chance of some depth, something substantial, something that isn't lazy racism and baiting for once?

I'm 100% sure that Marx's 19th century economic and poltical philosophies didnt mention de-funding the, at that time, very new Police Service?

Do you have any other views on Marxism, that worry you?

If any country should know what happens if you defund the police, it's the UK since 2010.
