Yeah so one guy taking the insignificant, meaningless and “won’t end racism” knee results in… apoplectic white people?

Don’t think he ever said in that 8 minutes you couldn’t support it, he explains why he does not support it. He also goes on to say he is all for anti racism in sports, but not one which has been inherited from the States and which he says represents the socialist BLM movement, which calls on the Police to be defunded.

If that's anything like other stations offerings then they're not worth paying attention to anyway, usually there's an expert who knows what they're talking about sat there listening to an alternative view put forward by some z lister with little basis in factual reality, all in the interests of balance of course, waste of everyone's time

And as Guto Harri said

GB News is - above all - about free speech; having the debates others won’t. English footballers have made it clear that when they take the knee they are making a clear statement about rejecting racism (not endorsing the narrow divisive aims of BLM). I support them

Never knew knees could talk Hugh. I know they could be used for virtue signalling.

Re: GB News
I will say this one more time FFS. Taking the knee does not or will not stop racism, it rejects nothing.

Rejecting racism and stopping racism aren’t one and the same.
I pass charity workers trying to solve homelessness or save whales and I know their efforts will likely achieve neither. However I don’t find their presence objectionable. What makes “the knee” - started by Colin Kapernick - so?

Best ask Guto about that, as he said it…
But as anyone who understands English would have realised, he was talking about the England football players.

Objectors seem unable to detach it from BLM in the US and its Marxist approach. Anyone who knows anything about footballers' pay must understand that they are a world apart from Marxism.

The previous statement was erroneous. If you get someone on radio saying the earth is spherical, you don't have to find a flat-earther to provide balance. https://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv-radio-an...ality-accuracy

Because it is a pointless gesture, that won’t cure racism, gesture politics, inherited from the U.S.

The world is full of pointless gestures many of us ignore, what galvanises people to oppose this one?
If black English footballers created their own gesture would you still oppose it?
