Worked out what exactly? That all ex-players share Terry Butcher and Wayne Brown's political views? That all ex-players don't care? That the issue isn't deeply embarrassing for the club and fans alike? Please do explain what we are supposed to have worked out from their collective silence. |  |

I'll in turn leave it to you to figure out what groups of people make the most noise. It's the minority that shout the loudest, the majority keep quiet and do not make fools of themselves. |  | |  |

Just say you’re an apologist for quasi-fascism and be done with it. |  | |  |

I got it. So the majority object strongly to it but say nothing. Thanks. |  |

Why did something factual get 5 downvotes, well 4 as I dont count the opinion of BigAl, he's just a little bit in love with me and horribly in denial. Seems a odd thing to disagree with [Post edited 24 Mar 22:31]

Think it might be because in making the active effort to attempt to diminish the very valid things CF had to say you sounded like a quasi-fascist apologist, mate. Hope that helps. |  | |  |

Wow... you peace loving folk seem mighty nasty this evening. I love how pointing out that Craig wasnt exactly current makes me a... quasi-fascist apologist. Strong work fella, strong work Edit.... I dont know exactly what it means, but I will look it up and hope you havent accused me of too much "mate" [Post edited 24 Mar 22:38]

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing” One of those quotes that appears to have been made up, but is truthful nonetheless. I must admit I’m a bit of a do nothing or the absolute minimum type, but I appreciate people who stand up for their principles. |  |

Not so much made up as redrafted: ''“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” - Edmund Burke Edmund Burke was an 18th-Century philosopher, statesman and writer who was an MP for the Whig Party for over 20 years. Among his most regularly referenced quotations is this one. It sounds impressive, but some have argued that it's a bit dubious in its meaning. As David Bromwich - author of The Intellectual Life of Edmund Burke - said to Reuters: “The thing that strikes you about this saying… is how little sense it makes: the silence of good men isn’t the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil. The persons advancing the evil… must be strong and determined; and the lukewarm must be either cowed into submission or willing to go along.” What Burke did say, in 1770, was, “When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.”' https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize |  |

| Nice to see a former player speaking out on 23:00 - Mar 24 with 1244 views | grow_our_own | I could have gone my whole life happily knowing little of the political preferences of fellow Ipswich fans. I resent the club for opening this pandora's box and putting us at each others' throats. Marcus Nash has a lot to answer for. [Post edited 24 Mar 23:15]
