Piece in the guardian regarding hard line brexiteer tory mp Steve Baker saying his party needs to reassess their stance on taking the knee and what the mission has been by the players. Now I'm glad someone has said it within their party but as I'm concerned if you've been listening to the players and read Southgate's article before the tournament you should already know. Plus commentators have been explaining it at the start of every game it happened so what's the excuse for still thinking the England team want to defund the police or support marxism....? Furthermore the only people who have been defunding the police are the tory government of the last 10 years who oversaw a drop of 20,000 officers since 2010.
In that guardian article is also a passage quoting a tory source that this culture war brand of politics is repelling people. Which doesn't come as a shock to me because this isn't America where issues like abortion and guns are election talking points. The culture war anti-woke crap is embarrassing.
