No. It's derogatory, in the same vein as calling someone a Limey, Sweaty, Yank, Kraut, Frog or Syrup drinking moose f**ker, but it is not racist.

I’ve deleted more posts from you on this thread than every other poster combined. It’s quite hard to pass yourself off as the voice of tolerance and acceptance when you’re being this belligerent to so many people. Yes I have deleted Duck’s post because this kind of childish bickering is becoming tiresome. Not because of the PM you sent claiming you were going to report the racist abuse you have suffered to the Police.

Football or crowds of 50,000 people? I reckon if I spoke to everyone at the Newark Antiques Fair I’d here a few unsavoury opinions on ethnic minorities.

I work in the travel industry, so I have more than a clue as to the difficulties being faced by some outfits. I don’t think I need to reiterate my opinion on the matter,

That manifesto asks for very little other than local government support for their charity work. There are no demands for change to the system, bringing down the Police or other such ideology. If BLM was a charity, asking for nothing more than remembrance for young black lives lost in street violence and racist attacks and funding - either government or through donation - for local volunteers and support groups, everyone would be behind it.

I’d hope for an improvement on the Bertrand I’ve seen this season, personally.

The Royal British Legion is a charity, not a political movement. That doesn’t mean people like McClean can’t be a kn*b about it but it’s not a political movement.

I’m so glad I’m A - Not famous and B - Did my growing up in an era just before social media.

False equivalence, the poppy isn’t political and has no links to any political or social movement. Unless you’re talking about the white poppy, although that thankfully hasn’t made an appearance in the Premier League.

Ollie Robinson suspended by the ECB over tweets he made a decade ago as a teenager and has already apologized for. Of course, if he'd drank half a bottle of vodka and driven down the M6 at 130mph, p*ssed as a newt, nobody would be bothered.

Where do you start with banners which have a picture of George Floyd with a halo, #BLM and a Palestinian flag? That’s not a rhetorical question, I have no idea what to make of that.

Let's all hope it stays that way. Overwhelmed this time, doesn't mean every ward flat out dealing with COVID patients. We have to keep admissions to a negligible enough number to allow all the postponed treatments to be brought forward AND still allow staff to take breaks, holidays and work acceptable hours.

Where the 21st June ‘freedom’ date may end up being postponed if cases continue to rise and hospital admissions follow suit.

Basically, transgender athletes will get less and less support the more success they have.

He wasn’t right, he’s part of the reason we’re still in this position. People have been acting as if it’s all over for a couple of months, just because the elderly had all been offered a jab. We’ve just this week reached the point of half of UK adults being fully vaccinated, nowhere near enough to be complacent.

I’m not down with the kids’ lingo these days, does this mean you’re a style icon of some form?

I think they don't bother with the 'rain' bit, for the most part.

Not a fan of that glass corner stairwell area. Looks like the foyer of some big insurance broker.

I'm not sure the time of year really has all that much effect, I think last years' lull was largely coincidental with the lockdown, followed by the Kent variant. India in April is hardly Baltic and Brazil had horrendous death rates in Southern hemisphere summer.

I think that probably says more about him than you perhaps realise.

Yes. Moi isn't a Mane/Djenepo/Boufal/Gaston where there're clearly flashes of brilliance but not consistency, he simply does not have any attributes to play in this league.

I think it’s more a case of him being told not to expect anything better and putting a brave, positive, media-friendly face on things in public. I’m sure he’d love to have better players available than Djenepo, Walcott and Minamino but we can’t afford them. Not sure why you mentioned Redmond, he’s been here for 5 forgettable years now.

Except it's not Ralph, it's four consecutive managers and our players genuinely are very limited.

Just glad there’s someone different thrown into the normal Norwich/Watford/Fulham/West Brom merry-go-round.

Thick anti-vaxxers are thick anti-vaxxers. I couldn’t care less about their melanin levels.
