I think that's the first time I have been labelled left, right, etc.

Quick question for you....

You're boycotting the club because they chose to kneel in support of black lives which you see as a political thing. Does that also relate to LGBTQ+ Armed Forces etc?

Also...if the team chooses to warm up in a "vote labour" tshirt or IFL donates to the labour party (I am presuming you vote labour here BTW but feel free to replace that with whichever party you do vote for) would you then also boycott the club and engage in a 17 page thread on here on your reasons why?

I have stayed away from the debate so far I dont want to get into an impassioned debate over some reactive points of view to a stance taken by people and groups over social injustice. To just frame the dabate around BLM is very short sighted. All that BLM has done is focus the world on the very relevant topic of racism, it has shown that the most powerful country in the world is still marred by racial inequality, that in turn as led others to show that they know there is an issue worldwide that needs firstly to be recognised and not thought of as irrelvent in the current century.

As the son of an immigrant to the UK I find your statement offensive, you really have shown your true colours with this one

"p.s. We even have one here in Wigan!" If you are relating to Lisa Nandy as the "one here in Wigan" I can tell you that as a previous trade union official who has been involved in the choosing of local MPs on numerous occasions that Lisa Nandy was the best candidate and is very highly thought of, as you should know she was up for consideration as the Labour Party leader but i suppose that would be becasue of her marxist views and the need of the party to show that they "have one" in the party.

Does that relate to LGBTQ/Armed Forces - It does relate to LGBTQ because what people get up to in the bedroom is up to them, however, to be celebrating what you do in the bedroom and what tickles your fancy should be kept away from children and the family environment. I like Kelly Brook, do we have a Kelly Brook day where she walks round the stadium scantily clad whilst all the male fans rub their knees at her like Vic Reeves? No, because it would be deemed a bit pervy.

With regards Armed Forces day I find it pointless because we have remembrance Sunday.

IFL can donate as much as he wants to any party, its up to him, he can do what he wants with his money in his spare time. But if he tells the squad to stand for a photo holding placards saying vote labour then that's not on.

Either way, the LGBTQ people and the Armed Forces don't go around burning our flag at the haig memorial, desecrating war memorials, attacking the police, spray painting the Churchill statue, breaking lockdown en masse putting all the good work people did at risk. They don't seek to de-fund the police, to break up the family.

Would we be having this conversation if George Floyd hadn't been killed in America?

Which is outside our season so are we not meant to show our support and thanks to the troops? Are we only supposed to show support for them on that one specific day?




Everything needs a catalyst that sparks the change.

We celebrate this at International level every year. When was the last time you went to the cenotaph in Wigan for Remembrance Sunday? I went last year.

Love a bit of Hi-De-Hi, although it is worrying how much I appear to be like Mr Partridge at such an early age.
