The best bit about the whole kneeling booing thing is the more the fans boo the more united the team will be in response
I get it. Sports fans through the ages have missed the point that you actually support your team by booing them.

She never actually does anything except pop up every month or two to spout some words then disappears again.

As such it's a waste of time paying any sort of attention to anything she says whether you think it's a good or a bad idea. It won't be happening either way.

It's a good earner though.

Ah yes the footballers and the manager who have explained numerous times quite eloquently why they're doing it v the "fans" who having listened to the numerous explanations believe they know better.

Then you have the politicians like Patel and Johnson who simply seek to use it to whatever advantage they think they can spin it so a few weeks ago it was fine to boo the players now we should all get behind them.

And the footballers are the ignorant ones.

Righto.
What are you arguing for? That people can't boo at football matches? If you are I may have to mock you, then take issue with your conditional relationship with freedom of speech.

Because they believe it's a load of woke nonsense. Hijacked by BLM, a group who believe the world is run by white supremacists, oppressing all blacks people. Maybe the boo because most footballers are too thick to even know why they are kneeling
Probably sums it up

Sad really as it has tainted the success of a multi-racial England team that could have been a symbol of a racially diverse, but united society. Can't get very excited for the success of the kneelers, though I am pleased for other England fans who have also suffered the same years of hurt and are able to enjoy this tournament regardless.

Are we criticising Priti for the behaviour of some other ppl who are effectively commenting on the actions of some other ppl?

Sigh. And thus the world turns.

I'm sure she's lovely really and definitely not a bully because all the ministers who've worked with her told us she isn't but you can just see it hehe

Indeed. Good for him.

The hypocrisy of Patel accusing others of "gesture politics", too. My god.

Mings is absolutely right and whilst it's good to see this is the lead story on the BBC news.

She's a vile person.

If she was white this could be a bigger story, but she isn't.

The bullying payoff is more of note

Johnny Mercer.

"The painful truth is that this guy is completely right. Very uncomfortable with the position we Conservatives are needlessly forcing ourselves into. Do I fight it or stay silent? Modern Conservatism was always so much more to me. We must not lose our way."

Top man on that one.

Would: happily watch her resign, but she won't as I don't think she possesses a conscience or properly calibrated moral compass.
Would not: touch her with yours.
