Probably when it changes name to something less stupid. Calling something by a single letter is pretty useless for recognition purposes both written and spoken. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so it’s because they supposedly donated £200 mil to “Black Lives Matter”, they didn't. What they did do was set up a community programme to help black communities with economic and educational projects. Yep good old misinformed racism.

Im not sure if he was referring to a specific event but I read an article dated 2012 that seems to suggest they get targeted every time there is an incident by youths who seem to like trainers but not paying £100 for them … gives examples from Paris as far back as 2006 but there could be more specific reasons in modern times like the one you refer to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
