We all know there is a link, but that survey was about the protests and riots after a black man was murdered by the police - of course tensions were raised. Where was the survey saying footballers taking the knee raised tensions? - I would genuinely want to read it.

That article doesn't once mention football or taking the knee - which survey says footballers taking the knee raises racial tensions?

or telling the truth? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/oct/14/boris-johnson-promised-to-tear-up-ni-protocol-says-dup-mp-ian-paisley

He says, discussing the subject on a thread that would exist if football players didn’t take the knee.

It highlights the issue and instigates conversations - how can that be a bad thing?

Making a positive impact.

Definitely.

Possibly, it's impossible to gauge.

Exactly. That's what I was saying to the fuck-wit from Dorchester.

So a fight breaks out with police after they try to arrest a racist and it's taking the knee that's the problem. Brilliant!

It takes courage to vote? Where do you live, Baghdad

So it's not Brexit's fault, is business fault for wanting profits. Brilliant!

I guess this is where Deluded Missile has another mental breakdown and admits he doesn't give a fuck about the environment because he drives a big car and his offspring won't be effected anyway.

This is another nail in our coffin, without an owner with cash it's just a matter of time before we end up in the Championship. Just shows that the Premier League has no morals whatsoever, they literally have let a murderer buy a football club. I don't want us to go down but when we do part of me will be glad to get out of it, it's turning into a farce no with the difference in resources between the clubs, City have shown that FFP is just a joke.

Yeah, they look great, but too bastard cold to be of any use 9/10ths of the year. That’s why there are no expensive hotels or bikini clad beauties in the pics, just a few old tossers with frost-bitten faces walking their dogs.

To be fair, I expect most clubs in the leagues below would have swapped places for 10 years in the Prem, a cup final, a couple of semi-finals and two seasons in Europe.

You have missed the point as usual. I have never had a problem with people criticising any police commissioner, I have criticised the MET on here a few times. I'm just laughing at the sad obsession you have with Dick. Why don't you just admit it, you don't have a sudden enthusiastic interest in policing, or a clue of how well she is doing her job, you just saw a pic of some police taking the knee in London and your little gammon brain exploded with rage and you want to get the lesbian sacked.

Arguably?!

I haven't flip flopped at all. I don't have a problem with her or the MET being criticised, I have said on here before I thought their handling of the Sarah Everard vigils was poor. Wether she is under-performing or not doesn't explain the weird obsession of you Gammons on here with the performance of a Police Commissioner in an area you don't even live. I can't remember many other threads about police commissioners on here from you law and order enthusiasts.

I don't have an issue with anyone wanting her sacked if they genuinely think she's doing a bad job, especial an MP in London. Everyone has an opinion. We can all read between the lines of certain posters on here though.

Maybe the Met is a shit storm because of the cuts made by the Tories and not decisions made by Dick? I couldn't give a monkeys if she is sacked for doing a genuinely bad job but she shouldn't be forced out by some gammon-led media witch hunt. There needs to be an enquiry into the Sarah Everard murder and anyone found culpable should be help to account - including Dick.

You will be waiting a long time, the bloke is just a sad old troll. Keep posting, it's refreshing to read input from someone who clearly has a more in-debth knowledge of the subject.

My point was that other police forces are bound to be performing better or worse than others yet you seem weirdly obsessed with London’s despite living miles away. The Met is more high profile but we all know why old gammon types like you are so obsessed. If you are that concerned with policing in London then surely you should be more angry at the cuts made by The Tories over the last decade. There needs to be an enquiry over this Murder and if Dick is found culpable for any mistakes then she should go. It looks to me from what I’ve read like a bit of a freak event that could probably have happened anywhere but that obviously remains to be seen.

The obsession with Cressida Dick is just laughable, I expect most who have it in for her don’t have a clue how good she is at her job, what the role involves, or even live in the area her police covers. Just old Gammons looking for a reason to stick the knife in. Shouldn’t you be more concerned about how well the Weston Super-Mare Police is being run?

I expect there are plenty of police commissioners doing shit jobs, not many threads on them tho.
