Racist plane banner at game today

[Pep Guardiola]

And where is the racism?

Was it worth starting a thread about it?

I doubt many City fans saw it. I didn't.

Stop giving it aviation fuel.

It's in short supply!

It’s implying “British” and white are the same thing. They are not. That’s the racism.

Obviously, whoever did this just worked out that due to the huge national/international tv audience for the game they would get the biggest potential bang for their buck doing it over the Etihad today.
What pissed me off is that surely since 9/11 a flight plan has to be lodged/approved to take a light aircraft for a spin over a stadium at full capacity. Why the fuck from a security point would this be approved, even if it was just a banner saying peace and love? Madness.

It should have said "Britain will be blue by 2066" now that would have boiled some piss ;)

You don’t need to reply if you’re not interested in the subject.

the world will have much bigger problems by 2066. i do think there is an apocalypse coming way before that in the 2040s.
And even the end of 30s wont be fun.

Same here - but if your local bnp funds only stretch to one plane / banner a year I suppose it was a reasonable bet.
