I’m not sure why people would respond to the differently unless they had an issue with people with different colour skins. Does anybody worry about the number of black/brown skinned players play for their football club or work in their local hospitals unless they have racist issues? We have a few posters who only get upset about sexual assaults on women if the perpetrators have black/brown skin. You would imagine they would have started a thread about the adverts if it was a major issue. Pochin’s comments were called out generally as racist when she made them. Has anything changed?

I don’t pay much attention to adverts. l’m just wondering why anybody would have a problem with British citizens appearing in adverts on British TV. I’m also wondering why some people think that someone saying that they are fed up with seeing so many black and brown faces in TV adverts isn’t a racist comment.

Straightforward to defend the statement that there are too many brown faces in tv adverts? I hadn’t even noticed how many there were until she had her rant. Isn’t it racist to comment about things just based on race?

That’s right, it is only the debating society that have refused Reform’s request. A missed opportunity. It would have been great to see Sarah Pochin on stage and trying to defend her statement about too many brown faces in tv adverts. Meanwhile Yusuf has suggested that the University will have its funding pulled if Reform get into power despite the fact that the decision has nothing to do with the University itself. Echos of what is currently going on in the US.

Wow! https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/maga-supporter-kills-his-own-daughter-after-debate-about-trump/ar-AA1W5DNk?cvid=731e77e0816f48c8f41534b2ab1bf3df&ocid=hpmsn

Have we solved the second half problem now 🤔

Yep! The only change.

True about the full backs. I think Ramsey was one of the first managers to bring in overlapping full backs during the WC in 1966.

Fair enough. I just assumed from your posts that you were solidly behind Farage.

The games are a lot more demanding physically now. The players run further for longer. Full backs didn’t venture past the half way line and wingers didn’t track back. There was no press. Players had time for a breather. Games didn’t last much more than 90 minutes. The pitches were cabbage patches but the ball didn’t travel so quickly. You could waste time by passing the ball back to the goalkeeper numerous times. There is a reason that squads are bigger and more subs are allowed now and that is because the game is physically tougher.

Take a guess. When I referred to Farage as a racist you asked for evidence.

I guess not.

You are the one who is agitated. I’m not sure what about though. Are you upset because I agree that Reform shouldn’t be banned from a Univetsity debate?

Do they have an image of Farage on them?

Oh, I see. I was trying to be generous. For example, we have a Reform supporter here who seems oblivious to Farage’s racist background. I have upset a couple of people on here in the past when assuming people who support others who are clearly racist share their views.
