QUOTE (Phil_D11102 @ Jul 4 2019, 11:39 AM) Colin Kapaernick sat then took a knee during the playing of the American National Anthem, even though people felt it was offensive. The Brexit party member turned away from the music. Apparently it was one of Hitlers favorites. https://www.altnewsmedia.net/news/ode-to-joy/Hmm. I’d already thought about this and why it’s different. I think there are a lot of reasons why taking a knee is different. Just some: Sportsmen aren’t paid by the US government whereas the Brexit Party Ltd are paid by the EU. The Brexit Party are deliberately causing offence whereas the sportsmen are protesting. There is an obvious disparity in the way black people are treated by the police in the US. It’s a legitimate cause. I think whether Hitler liked a piece of music or not is an irrelevance. If you follow that logic there would be a lot in culture we’d have to abandon. I can’t unlike The Smiths because of Morrissey’s recent nonsense.

So your argument is false, unless you don't agree with democracy? The fact that they are paid by the EU is a total irrelevance. Or are you suggesting the EU only pay MEPs who are pro a Federal Europe?

The way to protest was to not attend. Sinn Fein don’t recognise the UK Parliament and won’t attend and don’t take the money . Much less hypocritical than the Brexit Companu.

As for Sinn Fein... https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2009/a...rtin-mcguinnessThey don't attend but DO claim expenses.

They do their constituency work for which they claim their expenses. I’d have no objection to Brexit MEPs doing the same. All they seem to do is moan about journey times to Strasbourg and getting an iPad for doing their work. Idiots.

I won't change your mind and you won't change mine. I'm just looking forward to Halloween.😂
