East Kent Saint

Another one that has lost the thread ……..

This Japanese soldier has clearly lost his marbles .

You may have noticed that it is now yesterday’s “news” ! Posters on here quoting click bait internet warriors as proof then ganging up on another poster to abuse them based on recycling crap is the forum standard apparently. I was hoping the mods would have given this thread a mercy killing about 20 pages ago .

What happened to your soldier? I didn’t know you could delete a post only edit it ?

More like a load of old bollox . Now the foota is over the attention will move on to us all about to get cov19 if Boris doesn’t row back on lifting all Covid laws on Monday . Lots of people seem to be catching it even after getting 2 jabs.

No it means people that were calling BLM out because their slogan which meant redirect money to reduce the need for Police action Were getting hot under the collar about BLM when the Tories had already defunded the Police before their very eyes and they didn’t bat an eyelid !

From 2010 to 2019 the Tories reduced the Police budget by 20% . They are the defunders of the Police ! The point being made is more should be spent on the causes of crime ie underprivileged families etc which would lead to Police budgets being reduced as a result.

Who knows if any of the people posting the abuse are football fans , could it be a far right campaign taking advantage ? The promotion of division is an official Govt policy under Boris's culture war agenda so it should be no surprise . The anti racism campaign is about alot more than stopping abuse on social media , more about equal opportunities . Climate change is a much bigger threat to our way of life than culture wars/social media abuse it is a major cause of migration , extreme weather events , drought lasting for years in some countries . MPs of all parties seem to have been abused on line for a few years now so they should have taken action by now .

I thought they said they were investigating it as a racially motivated incident , I haven't heard what they concluded yet.

You can’t make that comparison unless you have seen the graffiti so it is not a valid comparison. The Mural was defaced , some of the graffiti was painted over and the rest had plastic sheet taped over it . The graffiti was reported by various news outlets as racist so people thought that it was . Some on here have posted what they think is said which doesn’t appear to be racist just offensive. So if it was reported as racist but wasn’t in fact racist then then it isn’t racist and neither , IMO is the Blackadder joke .

It is a joke , the reference to the English players who missed their penalties is the joke because they might miss Blackadder as part of a firing squad. I conclude therefore that it isn't in itself racist . Mr WUM .

A 12 man firing squad was used in WW1 so you need to include Southgate , Ince , Waddle , Pearce etc . It’s in keeping with Blackadder humour though. Not sure what your point is ?

No

Barca are desperately cutting their wage bill to make room for fresh talent , I expect some deal has been made to make it up to players that have taken a cut !They have some sort of total wage bill to stick to apparently.

Messi agrees to 50% pay cut to stay at Baca !!! (says BBC Sport)

Well it could be done , see China for advice or https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-52832800 Not sure now ..................

Could we manage without social media ? Well I manage Ha Ha and alot of other people would do better under the " Better to let people think you are a fool than open your mouth and prove it" (me included !)

More clicks more money !

We shouldn't have to rely on footballers , of all people , to sort out our own society ! It's bad enough they feel the need to feed poor children and raise money for the NHS !!!!

It has bought worldwide attention to the problem so it has worked in that respect. Re social media , change the law so they are classified as publishers THEN they will be responsible for what appears on their media platform . They have shown that they can't control what appears on their platform so tough. Internet anonymity has already started to disappear in China , Russia , India etc so ....

Well not the report I saw ! I accept that media companies , who apparently trawl all other media companies on the net , may have seen someone else reporting it and then made their own report but that is the modern way . Saves having all those reporter people.

The banter comment was ironic , pointing out that “It’s only banter” is the usual defence of the people making the hateful/racist/sexist comment.

It’s a bit early for players to boycott Qatar if they haven’t been pick yet LD !
