This is an interesting story.
Wonder how predictable who will think its a good idea and who will think its outrageous will be
Study in Iceland Shows 4-Day Workweek Trial is 'Overwhelming Success'

I think being in the Lords gives you more freedom to not tow the line. Most of the moderates have been removed after the necessity to pledge allegiance to Boris and his Brexit deal at the last election.

I saw that too, and he is dead right.
People starting to see what the knee is about now when we do it- nothing to do with politics, all about standing up to the kind of shit some people get up to

Good. She’s done more to promote the acceptance of racism than any politician since Enoch Powel. She’s earned being called out.

What is gesture politics and what isn't: Priti Patel explains
I’VE been in politics long enough to know what’s important and what’s a mere gesture by deluded millionaire Marxists who should stick to football. Let me explain.

Southgate said that we were taking the knee to show solidarity against racism. People got all wound up saying it was wrong, people should be allowed to boo, and it had a different agenda. Racism shows it’s ugly head after the football and all of a sudden the same people are saying what a disgrace racism is, or have just gone strangely quiet. Now everyone sees what the knee is against and I hope it stays from now on.

Yes I agree with that in terms of the online stuff.
I guess I’m saying that people are finally being called out. The Sun with a huge headline saying “we’ve got your back” just days after running a column calling taking the knee “virtue signalling baloney” and “a grotesque woke pantomime”. People are seeing through it more, I mean we have football players embarrassing politicians now, that’s got to be a good thing when it comes to this type of thing.

It’s always this though.
People don’t exist in a vacuum. Messaging from authority figures and community leaders matters.
Let’s be honest a bunch of grifters, sadly including many of our current govenrment, decided to shit stir about stuff they don’t actually believe for clout and to grab the racist vote. They don’t then get to Pearl clutch about said racists.

Weirdly enough, there don't seem to be many technological barriers for social media companies stopping copyrighted material being uploaded/swiftly taken down, but apparently racist slurs and emoji are just too sophisticated for them to stop.

Posted something similar on twitter recently. Try posting a copywriten song or video and it soon gets taken down. I've even had things taken off YouTube that I have the copyright for!
No way they can't stop racism and other dodgy shit that is on social media, they just can't be bothered.
Even when you report something nothing happens, its an automated process that basically ignores your complaint and you only see action when a large number of people report the same thing.

Though seeing said grifters trying to get on the band wagon as the team progressed was one of the hilights of the tournament.
I see GBeebies News has upset its viewers by attacking the racists. Bit too woke for its audience! Maybe Andrew Neil is a Marxist

You know I did wonder if this guy was ROS. Very very similar. On a serious note I was mildly concerned about his sudden disappearance so hopefully it is.

Euro 2020: Musician Billy Bragg and commentator Calvin Robinson debate England taking the knee ahead of final
We’re joined from Weymouth by the singer and left-wing political activist Billy Bragg, who speaks about reclaiming England in his new LP called England, Half English, and from Oxford by Calvin Robinson from the right-leaning think-tank Policy Exchange.

He’s apparently part of a “think” tank that advises the government. According to some sources.

I had looked for that link following it being on live, good discussion I thought. Didn't care to much for Bragg's use of ad hominems and his derogatory behaviour - he went down in my estimation. The presenter acted similarly on occasions. I thought Calvin Robisnon spoke a lot of sense, even though I think the 'knee' debate is behind us now.

Billy Bragg does that side of the argument no favours, comes across like he knows more than anyone else, patronising and a bit aggressive, I don’t like the man.
That’s why the knee is so powerful- hardcore left wing warriors bang on for years and just turn the general public off, but then 11 ‘dense footballers’ make a simple gesture for a few seconds without even opening their mouths, and it does more good, creates more awareness and makes racists way more uncomfortable than 100 Billy Bragg lectures ever could.
People like Billy Bragg talk & drone on- people switch off, footballers take the knee- the whole country takes notice and starts talking.

The only concern would be if he was stuck up his own backside and couldn’t get his swollen head out of it
It’s definitely him - at least he’s not lying about his age this time - like Rupert he seems to need to regenerate his username every so often.

You can't argue with her point though, the death penalty as a deterrent is well demonstrated by that peaceful utopia the USA
