    But much of what is and isn't acceptable is filtered down from those who are supposed to be leaders and setting the rules and examples. So if those who are in charge disregard the rules so do some of those further down. Sadly, a lot of people are sheep looking to be led.

    Of course they will be to blame as they should be more aware of the situation. However, the situation that has put them there isn't their fault - it's the fault of society at large and especially those in positions of power who have for generations ignored doing anything about the problem and in...

    We get it - you're pissed off you can't go to the pub or the football.

    Because it loses it's impetus. Like with school shootings the NRA are always 'now is not the time - it needs time for reflection" then if that happens it becomes "it happened ages ago so why protest now".

    It shouldn't be. They're endangering their own lives and the lives of lots of other people especailly the elderly and vulnerable when they disperse and go back to their local communities. But as you say it's a fine balancing act. If you try and ban the protests on health grounds you get the...

    George Floyd

    It's well known that innocent people (esp black and uneducated) are often given legal advice to accept a plea deal and a reduced sentence because: a. They're often too poor to afford independent legal advice and so end up with a state appointed defence lawyer who are pushed by DA's to put that...

    George Floyd

    In which case ask yourself why do they proportionally commit more crimes. Here's a clue. poor people are more likely to commit crimes than affluent people. Black people have a much harder time attaining said wealth due to it being harder for them to be accepted into good education and higher...

    Line up for championship next season

    I think with the settled squad it's imperative to get them in as early as possible so they can get used to each other and how they play before the league starts. Having a settled team has been a bonus for long periods as well. Thing that is probably most important is winning though. Everyone...

    Line up for championship next season

    If I were MR I'd be looking at attacking full-backs/wing backs rather than wingers because they offer more flexibility. If you keep our current formation they obviously fit in but if we wanted to go more like 4-4-2 if you've got a back up WB then one can play at full back, the other winger...

    George Floyd

    On a tangent but it does seem weird that police horses are still a thing, esp in riot situations as they're one of the most nervous and skittish animals on the planet.

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Getting more money is of course great but it goes very quickly. Championship wages also go up at a huge rate as well.

    I agree entirely on the class thing. Social mobility is extremely difficult and those in the upper classes will strongly resist anyone trying to attain it as on the whole many of them see it as their birthright. But there are almost no black people in those classes and so they will be resisted...

    Interesting if true, but it does makes it a grey area. If the socioeconomic factor is more important BUT black people are very heavily held back from improving this situation with jobs etc compared to even poor white folks, racism does also play a part in it.

    Sort of a merge with the BLM/George Floyd and this there is the evidence that BAME groups are more susceptible to the virus being lethal and I've seen quite a few saying this is further proof of racism. Is that actually accurate? Do we know it's due to racism rather than just genetic...
