Have I missed something? Have we signed some bloke called Lowe and a new centre half called Sultana?
Not sure sticking a picture of Rupert Lowe on a cistern in the away toilets at Pride Park is going to instigate civil discourse.
Wishful thinking!Have I missed something? Have we signed some bloke called Lowe and a new centre half called Sultana?
"We're Coventry City, vote for who you want"if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Look out for me wearing this on SaturdayView attachment 45267
Bulls hit. People like that need calling out.
Cost of “asylum seekers” to UK economy is about 0.4% of GDP.
Cost of benefit fraud by UK nationals is 0.8% of GDP.
Once processed the Asylum Seekers will go to work and be a net positive benefit to the economy, including a general reduction in NHS burden, as ironically (as idiots point out) they are all (apparently) males of fighting age, so unlikely to require medical help.
So remind me why “boat people” are the issue and not lazy British pricks who can’t be arsed working.
Whats racist about ?
immigration control and stopping people breaking into a country is not racist
change the record because calling people racist because they dont adhere to your own political views

Don’t be slagging off the poles now, we are good people.
The outrage is what the hell does it have to do with Coventry CityYes, but why has it come to that? Why are there protests outside hotels?
There's a bit of a reddit style mob on this thread, where people are getting more confident with saying empty platitudes because they're getting a lot of likes, but there is a lot of outrage with very little logic attached to it.
The reality is that Reform are flying in the polls, and many people will end up voting that way because there is little way of such civil discourse, as you mention, ever taking place. How many people on this thread have called Reform voters racist? I don't see, for example, many people on this thread debating in adult mode.
I understand it might not be everyone's politics, but whilst getting shouty on a thread and calling people names might make some feel good, we have the potential to see Reform winning a general election, or at least getting a lot of seats, and this makes it worse. it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone if it happens at this point. These people aren't all racist or far-right, many are normal people that walk between us that don't feel listened to by politicians or the people mentioned above.
As are LGBTQ+ and racism matters surely?Irregular crossings of the channel are a political and security matter, nothing to do with football. Let's keep it that way.

A large amount on this thread are asking why the Coventry badgeI agree, it doesn't.
That isn't where the outrage is though.
You can make a good argument that racism and homophobia effects far more people at a city game than asylum seekers do.As are LGBTQ+ and racism matters surely?
Yet we still took the knee for God knows how long and wear rainbow laces and armbands etc.
If you want this kind of politics out of football, then surely ALL politics should be out of football? We can't pick and choose and only inclusive the things we like/agree with. Thats not how life works.

I'm gonna make a Coventry City sticker that says I love Zahrah Sultana with a Palestine flag on and I'm sure it wouldnt upset anyone

There are a few who are turning it into a typical off topic argument though.
WhatIt would clearly upset you, wouldn't it, so that's your argument shot down in flames pretty quickly.
It perhaps wouldn't upset as many people though, in fairness, because showing a Palestinian flag or supporting Zara Sultana isn't quite the same as backing a far right racist.
Yes, but why has it come to that? Why are there protests outside hotels?

Most people are upset as the club badge is very personal to us all. It’s a big part I assume of people’s identity and as such people will have reactions to it being used in any political way.Yes, but why has it come to that? Why are there protests outside hotels?

At the end of the day we go to football to get away from all the shit going on in the real world.They definitely aren't all racist or far right. But if you look at pictures from the demonstration in Falkirk at the weekend there were people doing the Nazi salute and a flag with the slogan 'kill them all, let God sort them out' so they're not all concerned citizens either.
But the fact is, they shouldn't be associating this sort of thing with our club.
And if they were 'free Palestine' stickers, a cause I care deeply about, I'd be saying the same.
Our support is a broadchurch and our purpose on a Saturday is to gather and get behind the team.

Personally think that is the crux of the debate here
Ask yourself why there are minimal / non existent routes to enter the country. Why there are loads of hotels being used.If you don't see the "Boats" as a problem, i suggest you take your head out of your own arse.
We are talking about illegal immigration, not controlled.
Pretty much this, I wouldn't want a CCFC badge on left wing stickers either. We're not St Pauli.They definitely aren't all racist or far right.

Everyone is welcome at the city, black, white, left, right and even folk in Lonsdale trackies and trainers.
