[Football] Well said, Tyrone Mings

[Not Andy Naylor]

Tyrone Mings's tweet in reply to Priti Patel:

"You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens."

He should never have been picked for England ahead of Lewis Dunk, but I have to applaud him for this.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Discussed elsewhere but he's spot on.

Patel and others in HMG are craven opportunists.

"Some say taking the knee is right and others say it is political and wrong. Both views are acceptable"

Bollocks are they.

It really got my back up when I saw her jumping on the bandwagon during the tournament.

I guess it is a blessing in disguise that the squad have avoided the Downing Street reception.

Marcus Rashford has made a more nuanced statement tonight but clearly in reaction to the thoughts of a certain MP from from Dover.

There are going to be very busy PR over the next few weeks if the team get an invite to No. 10.

I saw that in Twitter. I wasn't sure if it was a real quote or not. Really quite surprising if true.

EDIT: Just seen the link.

The oddest thing being that if another Tory MP leaked it (it was an MP group) they decided to go to GB News with it.

Another ripple of backlash against this despicable, racist government. Keep it coming please.
Slowly, surely, the third eye opens…

I saw the original tweet early yesterday morning before GB News picked up on it. I wish I could remember who it was.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Mings’ entire post (more than quoted above by the OP) was excellent.

I hope that disgusting Tory MP loses her Dover seat or is deselected or however that works. Utterly shameful.

The whole episode seems to have been very divisive,time to move on,we all enjoy living in the most tolerant and diverse nation on the planet, long may that continue.
As was found out in Neil Maupay case earlier,a lot of the abusive tweets come from accounts the other side of the world. Twitter and other social media outlets really need to sort this out, and fast.

Stop trying to defend the indefensible… it’s embarrassing.

so there should be no comeback for racial incitement?

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Southgate's legacy is more than the results. It's England players showing personality, intelligence, fearlessness and class.

Four things, ironically, that Pritti Patel doesn't possess at all.

Sod off you sanctimonious prick. Stop trying to divert the subject, it wasn’t overseas Twitter accounts booing both their own players and the Italian National anthem, it was ours. Racist apologists such as yourself are no better than the racists themselves.

I beg your pardon? I’m not defending anything, I believe social media platforms need to get their house in order,the anonymity it offers these trolls need to stop,on all sides of this very divided shit storm.
