Whilst it is shameful that people still harbour such evil views, the governments handling of the Windrush Affair, Grenfell Tower, buses touring areas advising illegal immigrants to go home, must carry some of the blame. Nobody in this country should be discriminated against due to race, colour, sexual orientation, religion or disability.
And please do not bleat about democratic rights to protest – this was a racist action which was against the law of this noble country. The fans should be easy enough to identify and they should be banned from football grounds, not just Millwall. Has the BLM movement been hijacked by extremists? Possibly, but the ‘taking the knee’ is a symbolic gesture against racism, not a political gesture. QPR and Coventry have already abandoned the gesture as having lost its impact. they fully support the sentiment.
I have looked but could only find one political who has spoken out, Diane Abbot, come on Boris Johnson, I am sure he can come up with some bullshit remark. Just found another – George Eustace – who says BLM movement is political. People like him just do not get it? A black person is 66 times more likely to be stopped and searched than a white one.
