I don’t give a shit what you call.

Just read that Mahatma Gandhi’s statue in London was vandalised. Now he was a racist but he also did a lot (allegedly) in the struggle against British rule and oppression. Did he deserve it?

Sorry. I take that back. After all that’s what public forums are for right ? Knock yourself out.

Fair point. Was hoping not to have to use Ignore though.

I’m not worried neither do I have a concern. I’m just asking how many statues have to be pulled down before it’s done. What’s the criteria? im really not looking for an argument here.

What part of don’t reply to my posts didnt you understand? How about you just respect my wishes instead of this shit?

Just thinking if that’s the case where does it end with the removal of statues?

Is it possible that a lot of of the prominent figures in US and Western Europe during 17-19th century might have had some sort of involvement in slavery?

Beat me to it!

That’s a really good shout. Not really going to have the same impact in terms of making a statement though.

Really hope nobody touches Sister Dora in Walsall Manor.

I thought this was quite good. From 2017. Mods apologies if I've broken any rules posting this. I don't mean to offend anyone.

You and me both. Took time out from the forum for the day.

Allegedly the women was pregnant and he held a gun to her. Guess its all irrelevant really. This is much bigger than George Floyd. As I said he will hopefully become an icon for change.

I agree its not something you should be saying as a broadcaster. Pretty stupid really.

The video won't load for some reason but is there a possibility she's made something racial out of it even when it isn't there? I've had a debates with White British people asking if would consider living in another country if they are that upset about things here? Does that make me a racist?

George Floyd will become an icon for social justice for change. Hopefully his death wasn't in vain. But I don't think he should be portrayed as a hero or as an angel in heaven like I've just seen. I've read he did some pretty nasty shit in his time. Disclaimer : Its just an opinion, before anyone pounces - I'm not dismissing the whole #BLM movement.

They don't. Just because you have a conversation about the burning of a flag it doesn't mean you've dismissed everything els!

You are not understanding me and I’m struggling to explain myself in writing. Everything I say seems to get taken out of context or comes out incorrectly. Let’s leave it there please

I didn’t even know it was a flag that was on the Cenotaph. That’s really sad to see. Really discredits all the good things that are being done by people for this cause. People on here are shocked that some are making a big deal of a piece of cloth being burnt. I’m shocked how easily it’s being shrugged off as trivial. Anyway I’ve also said enough on the matter so will leave it there.

Bickster i just found the flag burning both disrespectful and distasteful. It’s not going to help the cause. If anything it hinders it by offending millions unnecessarily. Whether people should be offended or not is a different story. But the protests were fine without that single act. Just my opinion. Clearly many on here don’t agree and It seems I’m on my own with this view. I get that. edit: if somebody has an opinion that’s different to yours why does it have to be ‘odd’? I really do not get why people can’t just have a debate on here without adding this kind of comment at the end. Then they wonder why others get wound up and say things that are inappropriate.

The season will have no bearing on this game in my opinion. This will come down to fitness and who is more up for it. It’s going to be like the first few weeks of the season when you get all sorts of shock results.

I did!!

You lot take everything so literally to make your point and provoke an argument. That little prick that burnt that flag is a complete f**king tool. My opinion. Is that ok?
