No thanks, why do they want to get rid with in a year, because he’s a good player, no of course not.

Thanks for that London, it is more real when you hear it from someone who is living it, all to often as many things in life reported by the media you get a version that they want you to hear. Keep the good work up mate, with more people like yourself out there all communities should feel safe, in the knowledge that the Police are there to care and protect everyone. And of course you will get bad apples in every walk of life, who by there actions can undo many years of hard work, but it’s up to all the rest of us not to turn a blind eye, but to speak out and report racism and not be afraid of the bullies who grow in that environment. I know and understand that in some professions there is an unwritten code of conduct amongst itself, that you look after each other which is great for the right reasons, but when a feeling of them and us ensues the rotten ones become protected by the umbrella of looking out for each other, I hope you understand what I’m trying to convey here, but do you think that more should be done to get rid of the bad, who are giving the majority of good officers a hard time, and if that was to be openly seen could it then give the black and ethnic communities, who for reasons that they feel are prevalent to themselves, a feeling of trust towards the Police instead of distrust which many feel now. Your job must be so hard to do, when you know the people you are trying to serve do not trust you, that’s why there needs to be change, because without change and acceptance we just carry on repeating the same mistakes, and if you can gain the trust of these communities the prejudices will change. Thanks again mate and be safe.

Tough times Matt hopefully we are seeing some light at the end of the tunnel.

Were are you at the moment Uk or Switzerland.

It could be my device mate, on my iPhone at the moment.

Video not available in this country.

Cheers mate.

Please explain?

I didn’t realise you were a Police Officer in the met, being that you are as close as anyone on here to what’s happening in your service, can you explain why stop and search on Blacks is so high in comparison to whites, yet the black population is by far the minority of the population. Would or would you not agree that the Police service in this country as in America, is one of the biggest problems with racism in this country. A majority of blacks feel racially abused by the Police, due to the treatment they receive, they feel singled out by the Police, in a way that doesn’t happen to whites, do you see that yourself in the Met.

Lots of protests in the UK over the weekend, some peaceful and some not so peaceful. My local town the protests went off peacefully, with an attempt to social distance, unlike London and Bristol it didn’t make the news, because the media seem more fixed on the violence than why people are protesting. Anyway the Police in Swindon did contact the local paper to make a statement, thanking all who attend the protest for keeping it peaceful, and that for me deserves a mention on national news, but instead we just get images of Police and Horses being attacked in London and being attributed to the BLM protesters, when in reality it was mostly white activists who turn up at nearly all protests with the sole aim to cause carnage and assault, particularly against the Police.

It was 2003-4 since a sponsor was allowed on our Junior and Infant shirts, that’s mental we are evil bastards

And me, I should have worded that a bit differently.

I’m happy we have a sponsor that can now be put on the kids shirts, I don’t know if anyone else had the same reaction, but my grandchildren who were Everton supporters, didn’t like the fact that there shirts were different from mine and the players. So it should please them that they will look the same as their heroes, and that is important for youngsters to feel the same as the rest of us.

If the the reason for not playing the derby there is because of the changing rooms the tunnel or the press box, then surely we won’t be allowed to play any of our remaining games at home, because that won’t change no matter who we are playing, so it can only be because of supporters out side the ground that’s the issue, well it isn’t an issue the Merseyside Police have said so and they are the one’s who will be monitoring it and keeping control, so it should be there decision not the PL or any other team in the league, they are not responsible for what happens in the streets of Liverpool the Police are, and they are happy they can control any situations that may occur. So what’s the problem? And yes Pete the loss of Goodson and it’s position in the community and don’t believe can ever be truly replicated or replaced.

Christ knows this is a hard one to win, how to stop racism. Peaceful protesting maybe, rioting and looting no they just play into the hands of the racists. As Trump has shown he isn’t being pushed on the real issue of racism in a America, and what’s happening to blacks and other ethnic minorities in the country of the free. He’s been given the opportunity to turn the tables on the protesters, like some great general who is going to save America from the criminals who are looting and burning. We have to control the anger it will only serve to get Trump re-elected, and that would send America right back to square one, try and remember the pen is mightier than the sword, and through education and peaceful protests, people like Trump the voice for racists in America will be beaten and the tide will turn, maybe not for this generation but the next and the next. I am white and have always believed I am not a racist because I don’t dislike or hate blacks and have friends who are black or Asian, yet unknowingly I was an institutionalised racist because of my media up bringing of being constantly bombarded with derogatory names for blacks in the 60s and 70s in the name of comedy, so I would repeat that believing it was funny, and not understanding that I was hurting people’s feelings and supporting racism after all it was meant to be funny wasn’t it. Education has since taught me that it was wrong, because I never showed any malice or hatred to any ethnic groups my kids have grown up to be completely non racists, in fact they have helped me with my institutionalised racism, by telling me that a word I used was not racially acceptable, and I thank them for that many of us are still learning, and if that’s from the next generation then all the better, education will dilute racism taking a gun to it won’t. If the world ever needed another Martin Luther King it’s now, the world seems more united against racism than ever and this time are more ready to listen and learn.

We all think like 20 year olds trapped in 60 year old bodies, that’s the reality of getting old, the head remembers but the body can’t, still I wouldn’t call you an old perv just a dreamer, I’m making excuses for myself here as well

I’ll be honest with you I will, but I respect your reasons and will power if you don’t watch a game. Plus I’ve just bought a new Samsung Oled 65inch TV and I can’t wait to watch a live game on it, selfish maybe but it’s still going to happen whether I watch or not.

That’s reassuring to know, I can’t get out to Spain because the Spanish have no faith in our attitude towards Covid 19 with our track record, and it’s easy to see why.

He is one fucked up prick.

I agree I had to check what thread I was in. But I must say I’m pleased to hear there’s no hell, I will sleep a lot better now

Your right only the Republican Party it’s self can reign him in, people need to unite and lobby their Republican Senators, Congressmen, Mayors all Republican officials to standup to him, and remind them they are in office to serve the people not one man who has built his own reality TV show called the President, with the slogan your dead.

you’re right, I don’t think there’s much hope for me Mike 61 in 3 months, I going down hill rapidly, it will soon be a full time occupation for you covering my gaffes. I hope you’re hourly rate is reasonable

The French government owns 15% of Renault and has promised them a multi billion euro bailout or loan. Which is why I can’t see Renault in conjunction with Nissan being allowed to build 2 models in the UK, I can see the French government for the good of the EU trying to get Renault to object to Nissans decision to shut Barcelona over Sunderland, by using their friendship and alliance as a leaver, after all in the bigger picture if we succeed after Brexit then the EU will have failed.
