See what I mean, Northumbiron has had a go at me even though I had not even commented on this subject,

It was a typo for which I have apologised. Nothing more.

, I would be more happy with it if the heading was “ALL LIVES MATTER”,

This is what some people don’t get. And I had the same discussion with a friend of mine who said the same.

The campaign isn’t about equality, it’s about equity. We have had three hundred years of “only white lives matter”, now it’s payback time.

I bet you’ve never been pulled over by the police whilst driving and asked where you stole the car from. I doubt if you’ve ever suffered prejudice in the workplace because of the colour of your skin.

It is about highlighting injustice. The reason taking the knee is not going to go away is because the problem is not going to go away whilst people persist with this attitude.

I suspect many of those who don’t like it would have no problem about standing for the National Anthem before KO.
