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

Black lives matter is a racist statement and therefore taking the knee in support is racist.
I feel that ALL lives matter regardless of colour or gender.
Jobs should be allocated on ability to do the job whatever the race or gender.
I understand that we all have different opinions but it would be nice to see us all agree that we all matter.

The part of the post I quoted, was referring to BLM, not kneeling

Plus the 45’ arm salute ‘isn’t owned by anyone as it’s been around since the Roman Empire’

Perhaps we could have a movement to be anti-terrorism?

We could call it the National Front and get players to do a 45 degree straight arm salute before matches.

We should have 'National Front' littered across stadiums, broadcasting and players should do the salute before every single match until terrorism is completely eradicated in this country and as an act of solidarity against it.

Now, the name may be linked or in fact the exact same as other certain organisations but we should make clear it is just a 'movement'; national for the citizens of this country who have been victims of terrorism and front as in putting forward a unified front against this evil. Equally, whilst the salute may be associated with other political groups, we should emphasise it is merely to acknowledge those that have lost their lives as a result of terrorism.

Finally of course, anybody who even dare challenge this 'movement' or claim it is political, let alone express any independent thought or worse, boo it, should be condemned as on a par with a terrorist and we should do everything in our power to vilify and bring them down. It will also serve as evidence for the need of the 'movement' itself. If any footballer should refuse, they should be arrested and charged with terrorism.

Hows about that then guys and gals, would there be anything wrong with that? Or are you supportive of terrorism? I don't see how that message could pi55 anyone off or be misconstrued in anyway

Sounds good, man. Go for it.

An intelligent, serious post deserves an intelligent, serious response
