Thank you WUP for returning me to myself, A very rare shirt today, All money raised goes to funds for players equipment. I have also put some other item up this week.

What the hell has the name of a road got to with anyone who doesn't live in it?

Hope you boys have blood pressure meds!!!!!!

TBH I wouldn't. I have only ever really wanted enough to feed myself and own a few motorcycles with a garage to keep them in.

Marryat road and Drax avenue are named after families involved in the slave trade hundred odd year ago, they once owned large estates in the Wimbledon area. Now there is pressure from some to have the road names changed! Well heeled house owners will hopefully stop this crazy attempt to erase history.

Let’s face it we’d all swap places...

TF, those poor, poor rich capitalists have had such a hard time in the past 45 years or so. [Link]

Sadly Silk I don’t think the virus has harmed capitalism at all. It’s one thing to wish there was a different way but entirely different to overhaul practically global system. I fear the opposite is true and people will be economically dependent for years if not decades and that means financial institutions and those with wealth will have even more power.

It always amuses me the way the idiot conspiracy theorists will cry 'fake media' whenever the news reports something detrimental (and normally factual) about them and then immediately go 'oh, go google it' when they want to promote their pet idiocy. Many genuinely don't seem to get their hypocrisy in calling google, facebook etc false news and then citing it as souirces for their pet wingnuttery.

This Sunday in the last of the Yellow and Blue series we are asking: is fan ownership worth it? Join the debate by registering here [Link]

It does seem hypocritical that before BLM the football authorities were opposed to players showing any form of political gestures or signs of activism on the pitch.

Because google and the internet are the source of all truth in the world. There's no false conspiracy bullshit about the protocols of the learned elders of zion or about george soros or hilary clinton or pizza gate out there at all. So googling BLM will OBVIOUSLY tell you the absolute truth about them and not endlessly repeat the lies and ct's of far right morons will it?

It also boggles my mind why anyone thinks that Marxists are any threat to the status quo. They are not. We haven't had centre-left Labour Party since the seventies.

MAD - I do not care if they are Marxists or whatever they are no threat to capitalism. They will not gain any political power in either the US or the UK and will not have any ability to change things. OI has expressed why we should support the movement down below.

Think you need to do a little research silk..

Some BLM leaders are Marxists. Some supporters of right wing causes are fascists. That doesn't mean the causes in themselves are right or wrong. Taking a knee seems pointless if done as a duty but it has little to do with slavery, more to do with people being more likely to be fined for COVID breaches, far more likely to be stopped and searched and, even in this country, more likely to be shot by the police if they are black.

Let's sell NGW and use the money to buy Seddon who was an unused sub for Birmingham on Saturday.

Doughtmeister - the biggest threat to capitalism is the greed of capitalists. This virus has amply showed how easy capitalism can be collapsed and that is without one lefty involved. Unless they play it well the second wave could land the global economy into a massive depression.

And to follow what TF said, we need to lose this culture of adding value by "raising awareness" by shouting third hand at others and get to a culture of actually changing things.

Silk, BLM are a Marxist organisation with an anti-capitalist agenda. Google them. They are a lot more than just an anti-racist mob. Would love to see what reaction crowds gave to the ‘taking of the knee’ if stadiums were packed to the rafters. If the FA persist with this pre match ritual, maybe one day we’ll see.

It all started with Kaepernick the NFL player kneeling down while the US National Anthem was played. He said something along the lines of not feeling like he wanted to honour/respect the anthem of a country which kills black people so frequently. It spread over here after whichever latest US police killing in the form of "this is a global problem and one which we all have a responsibility to act" The underlying argument is that it's no longer good enough to not be racist, you have to be anti-racist. So I agree with all the sentiment and agree with QPR that the knee thing has lost its impact and it's time to move on to actually sorting out the problem of racism rather than continuing with a gesture which has reached its shelf life of possible impact.

With BCD thing it doesn't affect my enjoyment of the game as football, apart from our club, is a background thing for me now. Even with crowds my interest was waning. I really don't care about who wins tonight's games. I still enjoy watching our games though.

What QPR statements?

I think the taking the knee is to highlight the racism that people in our society receive which is unacceptable. It boggles the mind how some people take this much offence to players taking the knee when it is something that doesn't affect them in any way whatsoever.
