It’s sad what happened but do remember what is most important 🤦🏻‍♂️
I generally don't mind Obama but he's gone down in my estimation with that. Over a dozen innocent kids have just been killed, but he'd rather talk about the anniversary of a career criminal who committed armed robbery on a pregnant woman? Yes Floyd's murder was terrible, but talk about time and a place.

Really good post Robin and hits the nail firmly on the head.


This is an excellent article by Douglas Murray where similarly , he points out that some crimes are more important than others . As far as Obama is concerned it’s the death of Floyd that’s more important than the killing of the innocents at Uvalde , as the killing of the innocents, on this occasion, didn’t quite fit the narrative.

Murray highlights the reaction to the murder of the Labour MP , Jo Cox , by a so called far right nut job and how it was linked to Brexit and how everyone on the right should share blame . Yet the mainly left wing MSM’s narrative around the brutal killing of Conservative MP , Sir David Ames by the Islamist Ali Harbi Ali , wasn’t to point the finger at Islam and Muslims and spread the blame around his religion , instead it was to focus on MPs and their Online Safety Bill and being nicer to each other .

As Murray concludes , this is the dishonesty of our age and how our response to tragedies depends on who the culprits and victims are and what wing of the political spectrum the context fits .

The multi - millionaire Obama is just one of the liberal left’s many hypocrites .

OOT, It's more to do with the way the US political system operates.
If you don't control both houses, it difficult to get your agenda done. Also, there are lots of mavericks on both sides, there being no Whips to reign in the members.
One wonders how much more the US could have achieved, if it had had a more compliant political system.

Spot on that. Murray is brilliant and "dishonesty" is completely the correct word. I'm appalled these days that objectivity seems to have been thrown out of the window by teachers, the media, public figures etc.

You get this to an extent on both sides of politics, but I think its a lot worse on the left. The woke doctrine is quite religious in that it doesn't allow for uncertainty or disagreement. It says there's only one morally right way of thinking and any amount of dishonesty is acceptable to manipulate people into that.

Southgate......
“In fact the atmosphere when we arrived at the stadium, there were kids lining the streets, it was really friendly. I thought there were pantomime boos when our team came out to warm up, but that was different with the taking of the knee – but that felt like inherited thinking to me. What I would say is I hear that still in our stadiums as well.”

So say's Gareth 'I'm right everybody else is wrong' Southgate.

Maybe we should ask him why the England players are still being required to bang on about the (deserved) death of one small time hoodlum in the US but didn't make a gesture to the really endangered people of the Ukraine by wearing yellow and royal blue armbands or boots? He's a bloody tosser of the Linekar variety.

Perhaps they’re annoyed generally. Hungary is quite a worried country about white replacement theories etc.
Maybe they’ve seen the effects of multiculturalism in the U.K. and France and don’t wish to replicate it in there country.
