hypochondriac

So just to confirm, objecting to black lives matter campaigns and taking the knee at football isn't proof that you're a closet racist? Because that's the accusation of some on here.

You're mental.

How do you know they "aren't brave enough to state their real reasons?" I'm deeply uncomfortable with some people putting words in the mouths of others and guessing what they are thinking because they have a different point of view to them. You have absolutely no evidence or idea about what someone is" really" thinking, you just have your own prejudice and are projecting that onto people with opinions you dislike.

She clearly just wants to be perceived as special. Isn't it interesting that all these people are so clearly damaged and abused. You don't get any normal people doing this stuff. They need help not pandering to this nonsense.

Lol. A great many more people are more aligned with my views than yours. That's why the vast majority reject woke nonsense and empty virtue signalling (yet another yougov poll out yesterday confirming this), why Corbyn was crushed, why the lib. Dems have fallen off the face of the Earth, why brexit happened and why Starmer is getting mullered in every opinion poll. From my position it seems that almost every cause you and people like you have championed over the past few years has been soundly defeated whenever the general public have been asked what they think. Your politics aren't appealing, your views aren't popular, and despite widespread support in media and major institutions you don't have support where it counts. You're losing.

And absolutely none of it has anything to do with the UK.

Does Calvin Robinson understand the plight of a black man?

Pointing out that for many people, the political affiliations associated with taking the knee are enough for many to find it objectionable and an overly politicised act at the football. You may disagree but it doesn't make that any less factual. I think I mentioned before that I'm related to an ex footballer with friends at Premier league clubs and he told me how some current Premier league players view this stuff in private but are unable to say anything publically so I know that many of them will not feel comfortable but there's significant pressure put on them to do what is asked.

Exactly. And animal farm was just a nice little story about some farm animals. I don't see why it has to be over analysed.

Well I'm convinced. Burnley fans are nazis. Confirmed!

Personally I like hearing a diversity of views. Keep it up skd, don't let unpleasant and spiteful people stop you from making valid points.

I think you should lead things pal. Get down on that knee in the stands with your fist in the air. Be the change you want to see.

TBF I didn't claim to have some inside scoop. I hope people can take it for what it is which was a quick word with a relative of mine who may or may not have had some info about a takeover.

It's not great but it's infinitely better than a Vincent tan or that awful Hull City owner or Carl oyston. Leaving us alone and letting us get on with it is vastly preferable than something like that.

If it is true you've just got to hope that it's not some chancer or some sort of dreadful consortium with no cash. I definitely don't want to turn into some awful branding off shoot of American sports teams. The blessing of gao is that although he has no cash he also leaves us alone completely which is great in a way.

I've got no idea if it's true or not but thought some people would find it interesting.

No details and no one I've ever spoken to before but a relative of mine has links to someone very wealthy in Southampton and he's told him there's an American who mixes in similar circles to him who is looking to buy the club and things should move forward now we are safe. Sorry I don't have any more details than that.

Woosh

Suspicious that Liverpool supposedly tell us off with minamino and then he starts playing again. Hope we weren't bullied into it.

I'm just a man and not "cisgender" so I can't help I'm afraid.

You still haven't answered any of my questions about feasibility and I presume you're ending your replies because you can't answer them. You also never answered about if your theoretical subscription service applied to a select few social media companies or if it was everyone. You claim this subscription service will be global so will you have differing price models? What about whistle blowers in corrupt regimes? No more anonymous journalism or calling out of human rights abuses on twitter? The only suggestion I've seen so far that was in any way reasonable was for the likes of twitter to give users the option to only see registered users tweets or keep themselves open to everyone but potentially see objectionable content.

You didn't answer any of my questions. Mandating subscription charges across all of social media on a global scale would be insane and unworkable. Requiring one company (twitter) to have a subscription model in the UK only would be entirely pointless and silly.

Lol.

Would this £1 fee apply worldwide? If so then how is that remotely achievable? If not then what's the point? Would this subscription apply to every social media company or would it be those that reach a certain level of popularity? How do you define what is social media? What about social media companies based abroad? As I said, completely unworkable and unrealistic.

Completely unworkable and a typical knee jerk reactionary comment.
