Our Badge

I'm getting sick and tired of this bullshit surely it just turns normal sensible people against woke.

I mean like someone else posted what next the blue peter ship ?

What surprises me is how liverpool with streets name after slave traders and a city built on slave trade gets a free pass.
Why isnt there up roar about this and liverpool streets names ?

Why pick on Manchester again ?

It certainly gives credibility to using the word ‘woke’ as a derogatory jibe.

It’s a load of bollocks all this, grounded in a lie n’all. The ship does not represent slavery.
 
We took a democratic vote on the badge, the ship stays where it is, and be proud. Never mind all this anti-history shite, Our History is what it is and stays as a reminder of the good times and bad, and we must learn from it for the good of us all. To destroy it is at everyone's peril, but to associate a ship on our badge directly connected to the slave trade is purely based on ignorance. Some of the British media is a form of brainwashing power, so get to F--k

He may be just a fan of the women's team and not the men's. It's all the rage, he can then wear an Arsenal shirt all the time and still claim to be a City fan, and gullible moral guardians will lap it up.

An Arsenal fan you say? Woolwich Arsenal ammunition factory? They made weapons used against countries the British Empire wanted to control and exploit.
Arsenal should have points deducted this season for that alone and be forced to remove the cannon on their shirt
 
How long before Pep gets asked about this, or has he already?
Is the club keeping quiet in order not to give this hysterical and unhistorical nonsense more attention? Or as posted before should they issue a firm statement "the ship is for the M'cr Ship Canal and has nothing to do with slavery. Final answer." I think yes they should.

Graham Stringer MP apparently likes the ship. But he is a right dodgy fucker.

That first paragraph is a fucking disgrace. People need to stop calling it Slave Ship, quotation marks or not. But then using it as an example of institutional racism and claiming anyone is 'turning a blind eye', just fuck right off.

Where are the 'hey it's only one opinion, there's no campaign here' lot now? That's 9 articles now, 5 TV segments, 3 Radio segments, just that I have seen. And the tone has now shifted from debate and questioning whether there is any possible way to link the two, to now just accepting it represents slavery with discussion now quickly skipped to what should he done about it and when.



It will happen. It will get removed. Enough meaningless noise will be made, someone of the three will buckle and virtue signal, and the other two will have to follow. And it will be a meaningless gesture that will frustrate, while elsewhere genuine discrimination gets to continue.
