Boris

Quoted from Rick12

I think calling Boris a racist by some on here is a bit strong. Yes he said things which were a bit below the belt in the past but I dont think that makes him a out and out racist.

As noted I think very few people in this world are out and out racists but granted some have more racism  than others.

Put it in perspective for one. Phycological research has shown a large percentage of people have some hidden racial bias in them.

Having said that I think the capacity for change for the better (and which is the stronger force) is within all of us .Not just with racism but other things like bullying etc. We just need to want to try to choose the right path.

Absolute nonsense. My young kids haven’t got a racist bone in their body. They couldn’t care less about the skin colour of the people they play with. Make no mistake racism is learnt behaviour usually from parents. That makes it all the more tragic that it is still going on today.

As for Boris you can only judge someone by what they say and do so yes he’s a racist.

They did well to find out MPs...haven’t nor heard of them for the late 5 months...

But many seemed to have missed my original point; regardless of political persuasion, had this been Starmer I’d have equally been annoyed.

Whilst politics and football, contrary to what some think, do go hand in hand annoyingly, these sort of things aren’t helpful. It’s no more a publicity stunt that is to inflate the egos of no mark local MPs doing little for the town.

Someone mentioned celebrities; completely different. They make films or write songs etc. You don’t have to like them but they’re harmless on most respects (unless they were a 1970s BBC presenter) but politics is far too divisive so the simple response is that that club shouldn’t be allowing this sort of stuff to happen.

Just once again shows the nativity of the club. Mind you, I bet the non non chairman and his polyester jacket wearing mate spent all night pulling their hooters at the thought of Boris in a town shirt...

Ok, to be fair and balanced  I can confirm I have seen one of the people in this photo at a Town match.  (Vickers)

Another I have seen on telly on a show called PMQs, where he was being told off by the Speaker for not answering the questions. He is our PM.

And the third one I understand to be my Member of Parliament and also my local ward councillor, but apart from this photo, and a tv appearance defending the algorithm hours before a govt u-turn, she is invisible on both counts.

Quoted from GYinScuntland

Grow up, she's simply trying to put the Town itself in the spotlight. It's her bloody job.

Her job is to represent the interests of her constituents in parliament, including the 70% of the town’s electorate that didn’t vote for her.

Not to hand out hats and shirts for publicity stunts like a work experience kid in the commercial department.

Look at the state of the town, do you think it’s going to be fixed after handing the PM a football shirt? Interesting way to devise an economic strategy if so. But yeah, “grow up”...

Its not nonsense though. I agree with you in that children are pure and racist behaviour to some degree or another is learnt via social conditioning as we grow up.

Yes I have seen that. But that doesnt constitute  a out and out racist. Hence Iam sure Boris doesnt think all black people are lazy, criminals and hates every single one etc etc.

Noone is whiter than white.

Boris is a racist, a narcissist and a liar.

He is the epitome of white privilege.

Ah, I see..... there is a sliding scale of racism where it's ok at one end (probably just 'bants') and at the other end it's killing 'them'?

Thanks, I appreciate that clarification.

No racism is ok Bobby and your missing my point big style   .

Your right in one part there are differing levels of racism .Acute and more subtle. All need to be tackled.

Everything is divisive this day and age. Had some celeb been photographed with a Town shirt you can bet your last pound there would be people on here straight away saying it is terrible, he/she is not a good look for the club.

Just live and let let live. Someone important gets photographed with a football shirt happens all the time. Corbyn did it at Blackpool last year I think and of course it is just for a photo opp. Corbyn or Boris have no particular interest in Blackpool FC or GTFC but it generates a bit of press coverage.
