Not if your principle is pointless. Then you just look like a dickhead. How can it possibly be pointless?

Would he be happy just raising the fist in solidarity? Woul...

Re: Cricket: T20 World Cup
I’m no expert, but in my view BLM arose recently to showcase how many black people were being shot by cops in America. It’s a worthy cause and without it I doubt racism happening in other nations eg. UK, would have had as much profile and effort made to deal with it. GBV is a very worthy cause. I'm...
