I just find the irony of many ‘fans’ banging on about the sanctity of their flag, yet will write literally any old crap on it themselves, hilarious. Arch hypocrites.
Most of these new shirts will be in Oxfam bins in two years time. You will see people wearing them on Comic Relief in Africa in 2026.
My sincere hope is that England win the Euros at which point they become an instantly covetable item, handed down from generation to generation…..through gritted teeth. Lovely.
Cross of St George taken from our football shirts by an American company, fish and chips shops told to take down the union flag so as not to offend people, west end theatre allowed to put on a show where white people are banned, the world has gone crazy
Bloody hell Baz The Telegraph? You've progressed from The Sun as loo roll now? I presume you get more squares per page!!!
The Telegraph live for moments like that….some fartsy theatre company ban a white audience for two whole shows and instantly all the racist xenophobic claptrap the spew daily is justified. As for the show itself….be interesting to see it’s audience numbers….can it stand up on its own two feet rather than on the back of publicity stunts.
I understand….I think the takeaway is if some form of tokenism is being undertaken (or actual sincere action, we can’t rule that out) it’s usually pinned on the far left. Whilst I take satisfaction in kicking the far right, I’m not advocating the far left can simply go unchallenged. If on the two nights of no white audience they tank numbers…..it might educate them on the relationship between the arts and business at least.
Sunak is a scummer local name for Southampton FC supporter. I'm late to this party but that flags all wrong. It should be a Red Cross.
If you read the article, it is not a ban on white audience members. For two nights it is a private invitation only event and tickets will be circulated privately. That is anyone's right and given the subject matter, wholly appropriate in my humble opinion.
I doubt the powers that be and papers that promote this type of news want people to be able to work these things out like that. While we’re busy despising each other we aren’t bothering to look at what they get up to or questioning the things we should be questioning, like how much money did they make out of COVID, why have companies like British Gas, BP etc made absolutely billions during covid, why are we paying out hand over fist and the man is getting super rich. Why are we losing the right to protest!
