I don't know how much truth was in what he wanted to say, but I suspect you are only taking it to be the truth because you want it to be the truth. That is an irresponsible method of assessing truth.

The problem as I see it is that organisations such as BLM and the BBC (they are still at it, raking up racism from the past) have caused so much trouble, which is exactly what they wanted. Pulling down statues, removing our free speech and curbing the words we use has angered a lot of people. Suddenly they have someone to direct their anger towards, not the right thing to do but that's what has happened.

This is just the start, what with companies getting involved with woke branding as well, there is much trouble ahead.
Have selected Human Bods selected this course of action, off their own backs?

People think the UK has freedom of speech but actually it doesn't.

Wokeism is being ignored by all major parties. Its a very dangerous situation we are in.

As long as it is ignored the more our freedom and liberty is eroded

Re: Racism

If you read other sites (can't say where for personal reasons) we are all racist Nazis who need to flog our parents in the street. One word against that and you are in big big trouble. There is a HUGE problem and it is NOW.

We don't have any politicians willing to stand up against it. Even farage is quiet.

Only the people who open their eyes and see what is going on in the country, walk through city centres on a regular basis, talk to people around you, friends, family, work colleagues, see the truth. I am not taking truth because I want it to be true, I see the truth all around me, everyday. I keep my eyes open, truly open, do you? I doubt it because if you did you wouldn't have posted the comment you did.

I don't like the number of immigrants who are here any more than you do. I hate that there are complete areas entirely populated by people of a completely separate culture to ours. But the thing is: I don't know why it was allowed to happen, and I don't know why there is so much difficulty in stopping it from continuing to get worse. You don't know either, so you'll have to forgive me for being annoyed at your claiming that you do. As for Farage, he will say whatever gets people like you nodding their heads.

These people who all claim their lives are in immediate danger if they were to stay in their own country are given temporary housing, whilst it's not perfect, for people who are claiming they are at immediate death if they stayed in their own country, they have the audacity to complain at where and how they are housed, they complain about the food, they complain that their claim for asylum is taking too long, a process that is of their own doing by throwing away anything and everything that can identify who they are. These people are given housing, they are given jobs, houses and jobs that were given as a result of fraudulent asylum claims.

The countries own citizens are struggling to find suitable housing, find suitably paid jobs and they are doing so at the hands of foreign blacks and Arabs who are making a mockery of the countries asylum laws, just so they can have better life and send money back home to their very safe families.

So yes, when 3 black players miss very crucial penalties, peoples pent up anger is released and it is laid out strong and hard on anyone who can give them an excuse to do so and those 3 black players gave it too them in spades.

The government have not one iota of a clue about how much this illegal immigration problem is affecting the mind set of the countries population. The Euro's should have opened the governments eyes as to the festering undertone of discontent a huge majority of the population is feeling right now and it will only get worse if the influx of illegal immigrants is not stopped.
You make a very good point.

Of course, those who are the root cause of illegal immigration are not only the illegal immigrants themselves, but also our own government.
