    Last night during one of the games "Black Lives Matter" was projected onto the screen to the right of the score.

    No, it doesn't sicken me. I don't mind anybody expressing their support for these kinds of actions if it's what they believe in. I do object to making it compulsory or enforced in some way as seems to be the case in some sports which I guess is whereyou're coming from. I did admire how the F1 teams handled it in Austria on Sunday with some drivers kneeling and others simply standing there quietly and I think that's how it was handled yesterday at the test match. It's a shame that the BLM movement has been hijacked by other causes which have nothing to do with black issues and as I've said on here previously, being associated with a whole load of unconnected issues will dilute the impact of the BLM movement itself and put a question mark over its future.

    The GP approach intrigued me too. I admired those who chose to express themselves in a way that deviates from 'the norm'. Interesting that much of Lewis Hamilton's team chose to wear 'End Racism' T-Shirts rather than BLM. People taking a stand for what they believe in, and a message of anti-racism - I have no problem whatsoever with. My problems are:

    1) This sense of compulsion around how everybody should think, act and speak. It's not even a case of 'you're not allowed to say that', its 'you HAVE to say this'.
    2) The hypocritical and completely lop-sided portrayal of events in the media, which I think divide people more and more, and make the job of the Police - and other organisations, impossible.
    3) Fuelled by 2, the misrepresentation of this issue, which depicts racism as a deep seated, institutionalized issue. Racism is abhorrent, but its a long way from being the biggest issue we have to deal with in this country. EVERYTHING is being racialized, there's a lack of directness about dealing with issues within black communities, that have nothing to do with racism.

    The sense of tolerance has been lost. Its turned into virtue-signaling top trumps, and I worry about where it will lead.

    s the driver was driving like a 2- hat , body cam footage showed everything was fine during the stop and the conversations afterwards . Just what are the Police frightened of ? .
    The officers involved and mentiond in the Police statement said , the driver was accelerating then braking hard , he also travelled on the wrong side of the road twice . Now what sort of driving is that for a " young couple with a baby on board " ? . The Police body cams and subsequent statements confirmed this is why the vehicle was pulled over . ((% of the stab victims in London are black people being stabbed by black people , i understand why the Police are wary , what would happen if they turned round and refused to do stop and search ?. This is treading on very thin ice .

    There seems to be little diversion between race inequality and lack of ability in a lot of reporting at times

    Anyone heard of Cédric Chouviat? No? Very strange. Google him.

    "Following protests, the French government announced earlier this month that it was banning the potentially deadly chokehold technique.
    However, they reversed this decision just a few days later after a backlash from police unions, who held demonstrations across the country."

    The death of white delivery driver doesn’t cause enough outrage to detract from elite paedophilia.

    must have been the odd one out at family parties.
    He was 2nd generation North African I think - but then again so is a vast swath of the French population.
    This isn’t been heavily reported because is not been classed as ‘racist’ cop killing.

    yep


    Mr Chouviat was of Algerian origin. In France, young black North African men claim they are disproportionately targeted by police.

    Just when you thought the fires had died down, here comes one the one trick pony herself, her only trick being to ignite the racism rows. Who in their right mind would be a police officer these days when your backbench MPs want to open you up at the slightest excuse. As long as the Labour party continue to employ vile race baiters like Dawn Butler i would neve vote for them again. But then with side kicks like Lammy and Shah i think the Conservatives are safe for a long time. Vile woman.

    If you are the police following a car what are the chances of knowing the colour of the driver 'til they pull them up...?
