    He never said you needed permission, he's just asking the same sort of question of you that you yourself would be likely to ask of someone else

    the difference being I answered the question he asked when he asked it. my follow on was regarding been told what he thinks is his business and no one else’s which again is a fair point but if that is the case then he shouldn’t be questioning what other people think or do.

    So now you're the one suggesting what people should or shouldn't be saying, why does it matter so much to you?

    my point is if people don’t want their thoughts questioned then they shouldn’t question others. I’m fine with people questioning what I think and as I said I answered straight away.

    Now that my work here is done and my team no longer perform this ludicrous act of virtual signalling I wonder which cause to vilify next...
    1) The invasion across the channel of criminal gangs
    2) The complete lack of competence of our dancing woke police farce
    3) The destructive communist union leaders...or
    4) The insane drive to achieve nett zero emissions when it would lead to just more expense with zero effect..?

    * so much to do, so little time....

    Don't forget the paedophile grooming gangs as well on your pilgrimage.

    For the life of me I can’t see why this bothers some people if players feel it’s right to do it let them get on with it. It harms no one

    I take it you thought the Northampton display of solidarity against racism was also out of order?

    It's unnecessary now. Means nothing

    I noticed only 1 of our players took the knee yesterday

    If they really cared so passionately about the cause for change, they wouldn’t be there in the first place. Easier to defend your principles than it is to live up to them.

    I liked what Northampton did...I feel it's a better way to reject all forms of discrimination, it's not just racism that's a problem.

    It actually shows that it is up to the individual as it should be

    thought you were all about players having a choice and not being forced
