Bloody willy choppers...☠️

No, you've got that arse backwards. A rainbow flag is a flag composed of the colours of the rainbow. A homosexual flag could mean many different things. For example, a flag with this on it:

Ah, fuck man, we need to keep things simple. A homo flag is a homo flag 

[warhead]

Maybe, but why is it headline news? It's a total non-event, but Azerbaijan is nominally a Muslim country so there's that, which of course wasn't mentioned by the BBC. The left loves a Muhommaden but it seems oblivious to the hatred the boys have for it. Strange bedfellows...

This Dutch asshole wants to kick Hungary out of the EU and invite Turkey, TURKEY in. If I was in the other side of the square cod/bratwurst debate, I know where I'd rather live.

Hungarian police are not very nice to Afghan I immigrants trying to sneak in from Serbia either. Naughty naughty, they'll be forced to regain their autonomy if they keep this non 'core values' carry on up for much longer.

I found the Azerbaijan team on the last Eurovision contest the hottest!! So there's that

You have a taste for the balijas eh?

You have a taste for the balijas eh?

Not for balijas really, but find some of their women really hot.

Not one to pass up an opportunity to leer at fine women I looked up the aforementioned Azerbaijani group, Warhead is correct, they'd re-erect the twin towers.

Progressive patriotism 😂😂😂😂

[Kurt Cocaine]

The Liberal Far Right should really take that stance. They could be on to something there...

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Some Labour sympathisers grumbled that the England manager had managed to produce a more articulate statement of "progressive patriotism" than Starmer himself ever had.

Source for Labour party-related use of "progressive patriotism": https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/dec/29/rebecca-long-bailey-makes-opening-pitch-for-labour-leadership

Next sentence in FT article:

Conservatives and Johnson supporters are less ecstatic. Some seem to believe that Southgate is becoming a tool of deep Woke — with one Tory strategist telling me that the England manager's patriotism essay was "suspiciously well-written".

Author was apparently attempting some kind of satire. He said as much on Twitter:

This is what happens when people in their autumn years attempt to troll.

[astfgyl]

He says the phrase "Deep Woke" was in jest, which it seems like it is even on first reading. I was just amazed that such an article was produced at all around the England manager's political responsibilities/beliefs.

It's fucking soccer.

[Caomhaoin]

The Ukrainian players faces when 'dem across de water' knelt down was priceless. Kane looked mortified aswell.

Soccer is choc full of politics, from Lazio to St Pauli (vom) and everything in between, from the fans. Nevertheless, the fuckin' eejits in charge shouldn't be stoking it.

Just had a very quick glance at Southgate's letter there. The manager of the English football team, a pretty big deal as far as public figures go. It could hardly go uncommented in the press:

Sure as I said before, in which period of history has sport *not* been used politically?? It's where the roots of it are. Those three lions aren't there because of David Attenborough y'know.

[astfgyl]

You're right it has always been there, but it's never too late to stop. Sport should be apolitical. I concede that it never will be though, much like everything else in the world.

Am really glad you've liked what you've seen
