Sometimes I'm ashamed to be English

[noseall]

Fecking hooligans give us all a bad name.

Correct.
We host a cup final, showcasing all that is good about English football for the whole world to see and what do we get....racist hooligan thugs. FFS.
Dumb flag shagging gammons must be proud.

Nope proud here of being English thanks. Those dicks are neanderthal fools. Statistically one not far from all of us, it's called diversity. Not excusing one bit they should be reprimanded.
HOWEVER. The woke brigade are really going overboard now.

Yesterday i heard an article on BBC Radio about how more 'people of colour' (which i find itself an exclusive term) are joining the England football team which is supported by ethnic minorities. A Black lady commented 'i really can't believe i would have ever found myself supporting the England Football team, but now we have black boys in there i am actually supporting them'.

Sorry what? Who at the BBC thought this acceptable?

Later on an Asian comedy special. Comedian mocking her mums voice putting on a very indian accent. And then later another joking about muslim mums all wearing their burqas and then wondering how the children recognise who's mum is who.

Again imagine 'people of non colour' saying that you know the ones who aren't a colour the excluded ones...

Is it ok publicly announce you do not to support another colour/race?
Is it ok to mock Indian accents?
Is it ok to mock the Burqa?

We are all one race.

Festive can't differentiate between people finding humour in their own situation, from people mocking others for their characteristics.

You mean festive likes to make a comment, but refuses to listen to any responses or to engage in any discussion?

Easiest way out if this scenario is for uefa and fifa to ban any further
Football tournaments being played in England

leave it at that , would not particularly bother me tbh

next meet up for football will be in
Quatar

A country renowned for its human rights and woman’s rights record

at least any supporters attending the games will not be boozed up

and I doubt they will look to kindly on any English supporters flouting the rules ?

After this weekend I'd like the England players to boycot Qatar...... this would speak volumes for the equality they are trying to achieve and would have my full support..

It bothers me I went through Qatar the other year. Talking to a Philippino he told me of the back treatment and restrictions they had to go through.... however he did say it was an improvement on Saudi...

 

[noseall]

Blimey, Saudi, Qatar, England who would have thought.

Fake virtue signalling rubbish. One the one hand they say Boycott these regimes in Saudi, Qatar, China etc and then on the other they say well we need to trade with them, sell them arms and now sell them financial services and keep voting for Tories.

Hypocrisy.

I never intended to go.
You go if you want to. Don't go if you don't want to.
I'd rather spend my time protesting against the arms being sold to such regimes.
