Why is it that F1 drivers have enough about them to refuse to take a knee whereas Footballers just do as they're told like lambs?

Lewis Hamilton, a black man, only supports BLM to make money? A man with an estimated wealth of £159 million?

Do you really believe that?


If he really wanted to do something of practical benefit for the black community he may want to consider moving back to Stevenage and paying tax on his vast income. Larping as Malcom X from his sun balcony overlooking the Mediterranean doesn’t really cut it, Hump.

An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

They are wearing 'end racism' t-shirts and have stated time after time after time in interviews and statements that they are against racism.

Who cares if they bend on one knee in front of the cameras for 10 seconds. Rightly or wrongly, some people (both black and white) have issues with the background of the gesture.

All this sh*t does my head in and detracts from the REAL issues of racism.

Quite why this incident in Minneapolis ha exploded into all this is puzzling.Not.

It is the Vietnam of the 60s
The Poll Tax riots
The countless Irish causes
The Miners strike.

Some need something to rail against.

Every life matters. We are ALL equal.

It is not vile to suggest BLM is misguided or just plain wrong.

Black people have been used world wide fin this and all for the comfortable white middle classes to chudder over during dinner.

God created us all equal.

If just a small number of the people who say ‘all lives matter’ as a response to ‘black lives matter’ had ever truly believed it to be the case before this year, black lives matter would probably never have needed to exist.

Fair play Hump.You really are something.

Ken,truly good to have some sort of dialogue again,even though it's never going to be friendly-it would be hypocritical to say otherwie.Just a little forebearance is all I ask from any poster and to respect my opinion,even if it's wrong.

I do allow Jehovahs into the house if they call-honestly.It is becasue I detest them ;any religious zealot.My father was one and "killed" the family unit. I tear them to pieces and have had two ladies ,one young ,one old in tears.I did a great hatchet job.

Don't get so many callers now

If any of the Elder missionary lads from Utah pop around,get them in ,give them a coffee and best fairy cakes and just listen to their stories. bat shite crazy.

Or of course a South African farmer,who are being butchered regularly as part of restoration of land and of course revenge which is part of the remit of BLM.


Got any evidence that revenge and murder are parts of BLM's remit?

I'd go for thick. Or insensitive at best. To go to a black church and use a phrase that racists are using to undermine BLM is pretty dim.

Still, pretty small potatoes compared to her paedophilia, child murder etc.

I've never claimed to have any moral superiority. I don't post things that I know to be untrue though. You should try it.

The people of this country are probably up there with the most racially tolerant people in the world, and certainly one of the most caring.

Maybe that's why so many refugees, migrants and people just seeking a better life go to extreme circumstances to come here, just a thought.

Like most countries, we have a certain amount racists, but nothing to warrant the BLM rioters, I do, and always will believe that "All lives matter" and always will, now if that makes me a racist sobeit.

Who wrote this?


"1. White people, if you don’t have any descendants, will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably one that lives in generational poverty.

2. White people, if you’re inheriting property you intend to sell upon acceptance, give it to a black or brown family. You’re bound to make that money in some other white privileged way.

3. If you are a developer or realty owner of multi-family housing, build a sustainable complex in a black or brown blighted neighborhood and let black and brown people live in it for free.

4. White people, if you can afford to downsize, give up the home you own to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

5. White people, if any of the people you intend to leave your property to are racists a—holes, change the will, and will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

6. White people, re-budget your monthly so you can donate to black funds for land purchasing.

7. White people, especially white women (because this is yaw specialty – Nosey Jenny and Meddling Kathy), get a racist fired. Yaw know what the f– they be saying. You are complicit when you ignore them. Get your boss fired cause they racist too.

8. Backing up No. 7, this should be easy but all those sheetless Klan, Nazi’s and Other lil’ d*ck-white men will all be returning to work. Get they a— fired. Call the police even: they look suspicious.

9. OK, backing up No. 8, if any white person at your work, or as you enter in spaces and you overhear a white person praising the actions from yesterday, first, get a pic. Get their name and more info. Hell, find out where they work – Get Them Fired. But certainly address them, and, if you need to, you got hands: use them.

10. Commit to two things: Fighting white supremacy where and how you can (this doesn’t mean taking up knitting, unless you’re making scarves for black and brown kids in need), and funding black and brown people and their work."

I'm still trying to find a sensible answer to why the false narrative regarding racist police killings hasn't been fact checked.

There are certainly issues in the black community which need addressing, ''white people'' isn't one of them however.

It’s election year and most of these fact checkers are funded by or are involved with campaign groups.

Nobody fact checks the fact checkers.

Indeed.

In the conversations I have had regarding the subject, nobody has really been able to answer. Those conversations have been with those that purport the notion of racist police killings too.

The data just doesn't support it unless you massage it against population as opposed to serious crime rate and police interactions.

I think in America it’s a lot worse. The police are naturally incredibly trigger happy over there because they know that everybody has the constitutional right to arm themselves to protect from tyranny. I don’t think being a police officer is ever an easy job but over there the simple act of somebody reaching for their pocket or not keeping their hands in sight could precipitate a perceived life or death situation.

The George Floyd thing for me, it’s an absolute tragedy. They failed in their duty of care and should be punished, that sort of thing should never ever happen. Police officers should be trained to handle suspects properly and be aware of potential medical issues. But in this case there appears at the moment to be zero evidence that it was in any way racially motivated. So why is everybody so certain it was?

My exact sentiments.

Those things happen to all races. In fact the way Floyd died happened to a guy called Tony Timpa. No criminal record, no crime committed yet his neck was knelt on until dead while the officers mocked him as he begged for help.

Officers did not get convicted. Nobody cared and there was no fuss because he was white.

I was about to say if it had happened to a black man it would be everywhere, but it did... and it was.

Thank the Lord we are not Police Officers in the Land of the Free then.

Sadly,it IS highly likely a police officer will be seriously injured /killed in the execution of his duty.

It is also inevitable they will be hung out to dry.


Maybe criminals should be trained as to avoid violent confrontation with police and to avoid doping themselves to high heaven before committing violent crime.

We love it here,sitting smugly,safe and never having to remotely face the dangers they face.
