Farage criticizes Euro 2021 BLM

[bluegreen]

On this occasion I totally agree with Nigel Farage. Taking the knee is far more than a statement against racism.

 

[M-J-G]

I find it ironic that they adopt the pose that Chauvin used to restrain Floyd.

In reality it's a load of bollox, and like you @bluegreen I find myself in agreement with Farage on this point.

Isn't it typical that taking the knee has continued but clapping for the NHS has been pretty much forgotten.

It was very obvious with anyone with any sense at all that if crowds had been allowed into football clubs last year then these deluded pious players would have been booed of the pitch from the very start, how the hell they think this helps race relations in any way. It is clear to see it has exactly the opposite effect!,

What do you disagree with Farage about? I thought you hung on every word he said.

It's the mass protests during a pandemic ( most appear not to wear masks ) that gets my goat.

If Nigel Farage is against it I’m for it. What’s he not like this time.

Marxist paramilitary organisation allegedly. The sort that could turf you out of Kenya and seize your assets all in the name of creating equal opportunities but realistically ending up with just another different despotic clique in power and the ordinary folk starving Mugabe style while your farm lies in ruins producing nothing but now owned by one of their mates.

I agree entirely, again the wokies in Londinium are totally at odds with the same masses that voted for Brexit. They wanted a rerun due to false info. They totally missed the point that there was only one subject. IMMIGRATION. Call it racist if you like but why did Lincs vote 80% to leave. BLM is a political movement and is rightly condemned. No need for politics in sport. Find a new method rather than the knee and the black power salute.

Farage is just a sick little individual who is desperately seeking a new purpose in life and keeping the money tap turned on. Although his tour of America was cringeworthy, but fortunately virtually nobody turned up to listen to him.

Who is this Farage chap people speak about? Is he of some relevance?

Just came back from Zimbabwe 40 years of independence means even with all that they have done they are still in advance of Kenya with 60 years of independence so if they can turn it into Zimbabwe then well done. Luckily I don’t own much apart from machinery.

Farage is someone (whether you like him or not) who is not afraid to say what the vast majority of this country believe, whenever the people of this country finally get a say on things it is always against what the woke of this country believe to be right.
Does anyone believe if the people of this country were given a say they would vote to increase foreign aid, if you do you obviously live in a completely different country to me.

Unfortunately he was relevant in the UK a while back, we are where we are in the UK today is largely due to him and populism imho. Only time I felt sorry for him was when his light aircraft landed the wrong way up...
More recently his influence slipped when he became associated with Trump.
Is he trying to make a comeback?

 

[essex man]

If they want to kneel in support of some nonsense, guess they are asserting their right of free speech...equally those booing are too, so seems a bit unfair to have a go at the crowd.
Will be a lot more booing when grounds full, many believe they are going to watch footballers play football not virtue signal

I do and I do

If we are ever going to stop mas migration into Europe or the USA we have to help the poorer counties in the world raise their standard of living big time. By giving their populations a reason stay put, from better education, having less children and having assets and stable jobs and governments. If they have nothing to lose they will just keep coming until we are swamped..

No mater how much money is given the UK & the EU will ALWAYS be a better life opportunity for the very young males that should be enriching their own country, the more we give the more they come as is obviously happening!

No, I don't believe that the people of this country would vote to increase foreign aid but I also think that it's a sad state of affairs that we won't. For a country where so many claim to be christian it's a tragic that we as a society have such a poor attitude for helping those who are less fortunate than we are. Sure, charity should start at home - but it shouldn't stop there.

 

[Woolless]

There was a BLM activist on the radio last week. Apparently they want the police disbanded, prisons shut and the money redirected to the 'community'. Now, I'm sure that there could be improvements made to police interactions with ethnic minorities but what they are suggesting only makes sense if the whole police and justice system were a branch of the KKK. It's ridiculous, a total non-starter and likely to alienate the sensible majority of the population who would be prepared to listen to a message of racial equality.

So, I am in the novel position of agreeing with Nige. Sounds hellish the England fans booing while they do it, though. Comes over as a return to the bad old days.

Lots it coud be spent on at home, if the UK is going to send it then it shoud be well targeted
