Reply | Far right politico Charlie Kirk just shot in the neck in Utah

I get your point, but calling students “naïve” is a little off. They’re the future, of course they’re impressionable but don't you think that’s why engaging with them matters? Challenging ideas and their thinking is what debate is meant to be.
What I can’t get my head around is seeing people in the Amercian education system (you dont have to look too hard online), the very people guiding those same "naive" students, celebrating his death. If educators are gloating over political violence, what message does that send?
Completely agree with your final pargraph. |

I’ve always understood a fascist to be someone who silences or punishes opposing views, and is intolerant of different opinions. He did none of those, in fact, he welcomed debate. So calling him a fascist just doesn’t add up in my opinion. |

Calling Charlie Kirk a quasi-fascist just because you disagreed with him isn’t an argument, it’s a lazy argument. He was passionate, articulate, and willing to debate those who opposed him. That’s the very opposite of fascism.
To say his murder as anything other than an attack on free speech and democracy is dsingenuous. A husband and father was gunned down for his opinions. That should horrify everyone, yet I’ve seen people celebrating it. Tweets, videos, TikToks open gloating. The the hypocrisy runs even deeper. I keep hearing (even on here) how Twitter/X is full of hate and how platforms like Bluesky are supposed to be “safe spaces" - I’ve seen plenty on Bluesky celebrating his death too. Turns out hate isn’t a platform problem, it’s a people problem.
He wasn’t a dictator, he was a commentator. A voice. If you think that makes him a fascist deserving of death, then you’ve abandoned democracy entirely. Free speech means tolerating views you don’t like, not silencing them with murder.
He always said: when people stop talking about problems, bad things happen. That’s where we are now with division, silence, and the celebration of violence. And if you can’t see how dangerous that is, you’re a huge part of the problem.
Democracy has suffered but more importantly, a family has suffered. |

I’ve been on the negative side myself through this window and at the start of the season, so I get it. I’ve also had my moments of calling out our PL approach. But after a half-decent night’s sleep once the window closed, I realised… it’s really not as bad as we’re making out.
Do I think it’s perfect? Absolutely not. The squad seems a little unbalanced and some of the buisness does seem odd and over the past 18 months I do think we’ve signed names rather than fits, for the system. Certain players also seem nailed to start just because of their price tags. And yes, it bothers me that some of our promotion heroes were let go when, truthfully, I feel they weren’t much worse than what we have kept.
All of the above said, I can’t think of anyone better suited to squeeze a tune out of this new group. So get some rest, it’s really not all doom and gloom just yet and besides, there’s plenty of season left for the wheels to completely fall off if that’s the way it’s going to go... :) |

Without doubt he would have moved on, reading btween the lines I expect they believed there would be some interest for him.
I expect he will move on in January either on loan or on a Perm as we have a 40yr old who is better, signed Furlong who I hope is better and Harry Clarke who isnt any worse than BJ.
It hasnt worked. |

I had considered this was the case and as you have pointed out. I hope book value wins promotion!
Another question: Why would the ownership group want to enhanve book value.. dont't worry I know the reason. :) |

Genuinely interested. Who is driving it then? - who would be wanting to drive out honest, , seemingly decent blokes and hardworking professionals who, against all odds got the team back to the promised land.
I cannot single a single ounce of logic in it. It cant be financially driven as we arent demanding huge sums for them? |

Fair fair and nicely put. I struggle to sometimes see whats legitimate thoughts, tongue in cheek or even parody on here at times!
4m seems a great price for Cov. Gutted with this transfer to be honest. |

12m pounds..
He's better in that position that Johnson because Johnson doesn't play there and he's not much good either.
Really strange signing. |

Sorry, are you saying DOS is the problem? I thought this was about Wolf leaving?
Would you be playing him then? |

He's plenty good enough to play in our team but the reality he's up against our first team captain and probably a defender who is PL quality.
Never let us down and he wouldn't look out of place in our side, ever..
Let the lad go and watch him do well elsewhere. |

I sat there watching today thinking 12m doesn't get you much. I saw nothing today to think that was a good buy. [Post edited 30 Aug 22:32]

With all due respect to BJ. Surely just a couple of million quid and getting his wages off the wage bill would be a huge success for us? |

The two players linked in the last 24hrs play CM and RB/CB. I'm not sure how this spells the end for Burns? - Am I missing something> |
