The regularly contributing left on Hol....with a few honourable exceptions are now either trolls sniping with child like comments (which I kind of have no problem with) or bare faced liars....dancing around on pins as if no one can notice. (which I do have an issue with) It gets a bit pointless once you realise you are dealing with people who aren't willing to be honest and straight forward and unfortunately that's what we have now.

As a tie break, they will normally go for the less 'standard' candidate - whatever that may be in their world - to increase the breadth of thinking. This is the post. No candidates tie. COYP

This not directly taking a knee but is part of the general nonsense related to current race issues: Rod Liddle in the Spectator gives us what he calls “an almost perfect postscript to 2020, the Year of Derangement”. Cornell University in the USA will ban students from their libraries and other campus buildings if they refuse to have a flu vaccine. However, ‘Students of Color’ can decline the vaccine if they have concerns based on historical injustices and current events. Here is Cornell’s website guide on this: “We recognize that, due to longstanding systemic racism and health inequities in this country, individuals from some marginalized communities may have concerns about needing to agree to such requirements. For example, historically, the bodies the of Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) have been mistreated, and used by people in power, sometimes for profit or medical gain. It is understandable that the current Compact requirements may feel suspect or even exploitative to some BIPOC members of the Cornell community. Additionally, recent acts of violence against Black people by law enforcement may contribute to feelings of distrust or powerlessness. We know this history and validate the potential concerns it may raise. At the same time, we know that long-standing social inequalities and health disparities have resulted in COVID-19 disproportionately affecting BIPOC individuals. Higher percentages of individuals from these communities become infected with COVID, and the health outcomes related to infection are often more serious. Away from campus community, BIPOC individuals are not as likely to have access to preventive services or quality health care. The systems, services, and policies being implemented at Cornell seek to address these inequalities as well as the differential impacts.” Apart from the clear racial discrimination involved, the policy must lead to a high risk of flu infections among those exempted. No doubt the Klu Klux Klan highly approve of the policy.
