Surfer 1,547 Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) A reminder: where did the "taking a knee" action come from. It was suggested to Colin Kaepernick by a US Army trooper as a way of showing respect, while protesting police brutality. Now he NFL has come out with their statement about they should have been listening to theIr black players, I wonder if they will apologies to CK? p.s. Donald Trump will continue his attacks on players no matter what anyone else says, it’s his brand - I’m actually surprised the NFL made their statement as many of their owners are “friends” with him. But maybe they see the tide has turned and he’s becoming irrelevant to their business model again. Edited June 7, 2020 by Surfer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted June 7, 2020 Republican Senator from Florida alleged this morning that he had seen evidence that the Chinese wanted to discover the vaccine first so that they could keep it for themselves and that they were trying to sabotage the rest of the World's attempts to discover one. Andrew Marr asked how they could sabotage anything in the UK and he just repeated that he had seen the evidence.

Bill 1,788 Posted June 7, 2020 Things rumble on here, And with so many off work it looks set toe scalate The death of George Floyd has been the spark that has started a very large fire. For too long righties like Trump,Johnson and the brexiteers have lied and lied. It should come as no surprise there has been a backlash. This will simmer all summer in the UK, as more of the virus shambles comes out. In in 10 deaths globally has been in the UK. Too many people have been affected by tose deaths for Johnson simply to pull his shirt out, ruffle his hair and bluster his way out. And too many people will find they have no job, and little money in the coming months Perhaps they could be put to work building the required customs facilities at umpteen UK port, accommodation units beside them to house them when working, and when the 50,000 customs staff are ready.

Surfer 1,547 Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) Meanwhile the administration is trying to weasel it's way out of any accountability again. AG Barr claims it was not tear gas, as tear gas is a chemical, and pepper spray is not. No you liar, they are both chemicals, one is industrial and one is natural, but they both cause the same symptoms. Edited June 8, 2020 by Surfer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted June 7, 2020 White House (Casablanca) The bigot stood beside the burning deskWhence all but he had fled; The flame that lit the battle’s wreck,Shone on around his coiffured head. Yet beautiful and bright orange he stood,As born to cause the storm; A creature of idiotic blood,A proud, though childlike form. The flames rolled on – he would not go,Without his armed militia guard That bunker, skulked he in fear below,His voice no longer resonating hard. an ode to cowardice (with grateful thanks to Felicia Hemans) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Load of Squit 5,136 Posted June 13, 2020 Thomas Sowell isn't the most reliable or impartial source for this information.
