Just maybe they are the best for the role, no more no less.

Not once on this board has there been a decent answer to what equality means in reality. A lot of fumbling around the edges, a bit of aspirational stuff, a bit of moaning about other stuff, but no proper description of what the black people of this country want and what injustices they feel suffer they are suffering as opposed to any other section of the community.

I know rich black people and poor black people, I know rich white people and poor white people. What I don’t understand is why a minority feel they are more deserving than those of equivalent status amongst the majority. Are they saying they haven’t got the opportunity to improve their lot because I just don’t believe that in this country? It is as easy or as difficult as you want to make it yourself.

Are you serious?

This is a White country. 80% of people are White. I have no idea how many people are gay but let's go with 5%. Women are often bosses. I have worked for 4 women bosses over the years.

You are living in a delusion.

Dan's United Nations of football. Feckin hilarious.

i bet there wasn't a corresponding female netball team ? that we can safely say. How many keep their women either back in the home-country or locked away behind closed doors in the UK ?

Hey Dan, in all your PC equality, where is the Gender-Equality ? We are not seeing boatloads and planeloads of women's netball teams arriving into the UK, why is that ?

but we do seem to be getting lots of single young men ? Taking the knee about how unfair is life in a country you have chosen to live in.

Can i suggest you visit Saudi and 'take the knee' for the poor underprivileged rights of christians ?

No, I knew how many because I was one of the very few people with access to personnel records.

In those days, race simply wasn't an issue in that firm- and remember, we went out on physical audits to clients all over the country then, so you frequently spent a week or two working and eating with your colleagues, so you got to know quite a bit about them and their families and, yes, their cultural and social backgrounds too.

All just a part of everyday working life that no-one gave any thought too, because it simply didn't matter where they came from, black or white - they were workmates: some you liked as a person, some you didn't. Bit like the rest of life!

Is there much fight left in this lefty bullyboy campaign ? nope, its on its knees.

I suspect it is only the start. The symbolism of it is now how effectively the White population will be defined.

Between those who are willing to take the knee and those who are not. Because it is effectively, for white people specifically, an overt and public signalling of submission.

Black people refuse to do similar and, as we have evidenced on this thread, it is respected. Seen as a valid stance (no pun intended) to take.

But for us Whites? No. This is how we are all going to be divided up. Will you kneel for this 'cause' or are you a racist? The booing is just mere froth. Even if people were to remain silent, they would still find a way of trying to make people acquire.

The 21st-century equivalent of that old standby question of 'when did you stop beating your wife?'

In some ways, we should be thanking the Left for this. Cuts to the chase really and allows us to pick and choose who we wish to associate with. No ambiguity around it.

I hope that those taking a knee at the EUROS where they face no sanctions or have little or no chance of having their endorsements stopped have big enough balls to do the same at the next World Cup.
Interestingly why aren't EUFA or FIFA commenting?

FIFA’s disciplinary code states players and federations can face disciplinary action in cases of “using a sports event for demonstrations of a non-sporting nature”.

or the pejorative term 'Gammon'.

How many people have been arrested or lost a job for using that loaded word ?

if a fella used the 'N' word or the Gammon word, which would bring down the swiftest retribution upon his head ?

Equality ? yeah, right.

Do you complain about the proportional lack of straight men in the entertainment industry or the liberal god the BBC?

Do you complain about the lack of sponsorships for working class white kids to the best universities?

So really,...who cares what you think about the proportion of this or that proportion of that.
