I do agree with you Rudi to a certain extent, especially around the agitation remark.

If nothing is to come of this as normal life resumes and so on, the shame is that rather than copycatting this ridiculous US movement, there is probably an actual window now for the black community to bring some coherent, specific and genuine concerns to the table which I would suggest or hope most people would accept and back them on.

The recent activity for me only further backs up negative perceptions of them as a collective and has certainly aimed to polarise people into 'Far right racist' or 'Left wing nutjob' with very little inbetween if any.. I would suggest I am not alone in this thinking.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

I don’t think you speak for the majority any more than I do. You just move in different circles. In mine there is a huge shift in perceptions which has nothing to do with the MSM. Social media, driven by ordinary people has though.

You are, in my view, well out on a limb. That the far right are exploiting it is very obvious. At least to those who aren’t themselves far right. They are always in denial.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Sport is a place to get away from politics. Where people of all views and backgrounds can unite behind a common cause: your football team!

The number of black players in the league should be celebrated, along with the 98% of football fans who behave in the right manner. But no, we must continue with the self-loathing and white guilt based on something that happened on another continent! But give the Premier League an opportunity to virtue signal and they're like a shot, kneeling down, like all the best woke corporations.

The Premier League will be happy to allow the Saudi Arabia takeover of Newcastle. What human rights abuses? Illegal streaming? War crimes in Yemen? Killing journalists? It's all about grabbing the money and following the narrative of the leftist mob.

And we play along. Our participation makes us as guilty. We do have a choice.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - 1984 - George Orwell.

The term "far right" is well understood and documented.

What evidence do all these commentators have that the average person in the counter-demonstration is :

Anti Semitic?

White supremacist ?

Holocaust denier ?

Eugenics ?

K k k ?

Even that they support right wing economic policies ?

Zero evidence.

And also planting a stooge to behave as the above has already been done by the left. Done to discredit a valid street protest.

Far right ? my @rse.

Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford

Anyhoo, back on topic(again) how will they be able to print these one off shirts with the *ahem* BLM logo in place of players names? Or, will it just be B.L.M.?

I see that the Ehtiad Group of clubs are all having the front of their shirts with a 'charity' logo CGR, Cityzens Giving for Recovery

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.
