Do you see this as more of a problem on our society as Muslim views on gays, jewish views on gentiles or whatever the view may be? That's just pure "whataboutism"! I see problems with any religion which takes an absolutist position and seeks to impose that view on others.

Teased frequently. Ridiculed occasionally, but only when thoroughly deserved. In fact it's quite difficult to be really unkind when dealing with transparent bs. None of that though is really the point. It's the dominance of those from one viewpoint which is. So when you feel it is deserved it is ok for you to ridicule but it is not ok for others to ridicule if you disagree with their viewpoint! Maybe they think it is deserved. Is there not a touch of hypocrisy here?

This might seem off topic but did anyone catch the re-run of "The Vicar of Dibley" last night? If not you can, I'm sure, find it on iPlayer. It's always worth a watch and David Horton's political views in this episode reminded me quite a lot of some of the attitudes on here. Dawn French added a few new minutes at the end which were really special. She addressed two subjects. One being a moving tribute to Alice Chambers, who played Alice Tinker, and who died in 2018. The other addressed this issue. Do watch. No doubt reinforced by the cultural diversity which has always been Dibley’s strength.

It could not have been made clearer by Gareth Southgate and others that this interpretation of the gesture is incorrect. So who do you believe? The England Manager who is in daily contact with those who are doing this, and their employers, or a right-wing hack who has a reputation for deliberately stirring up controversy?

Taking the knee is a symbol of black lives matter I see there banners all over stadiums on pins it is for that movement.

The 67% not in favour of taking the knee for BLM and only 13% in favour as referred to in the last paragraph is obviously a lie? Well it has to be doesn’t it, otherwise they wouldn’t continue doing it, would they? That is an excellent article that sums up how everyone on here apart from about 3 posters, feels about footballers supporting BLM. One of whom, is actually a black football fan.

It’s as if it’s better for them politically if nothing changes while they need more imported voters. It becomes more obvious how many left wing and very left wing ethnic minorities you see whenever you switch on the tv and can’t help hearing how wrong everyone and everything is. Now why would they do that? Keep them left wing when plenty probably wouldn’t stay left wing or Labour in whatever guise to gain power. It’s as if there’s no ethnic minorities that aren’t left wing, which is obviously untrue. Well it is in my experience. See antisemitism. Edited by Rudi Hedman (16 Dec 2020 12.02pm)

An article in the Spectator by Rod Liddle for goodness sake, forgive me if I don't actually read it!
