    Absolutely PMSL at Mr Hamilton’s lastest communication. That’s it Lewis, certainly easy to wear a T shirt, take the knee, and badger other drivers to fall into line, but certainly wouldn't want you to go as far as making a major statement to back your beliefs that would affect your bank balance, would we ?


    World champion Lewis Hamilton "stands with" US sports stars boycotting events to fight racism but does not think his missing a race would have an effect.

    Basketball, baseball and football games have been postponed in the US after police shot Jacob Blake, a black man, seven times in the back on Sunday.

    Hamilton said: "It's a shame that is what's needed over there to get a reaction. But that is in America and I don't know really if me doing anything here will particularly have any effect."

    Sebastian Vettel said drivers' pre-race anti-racism protests would continue.

    Hamilton, F1's only black driver, said in the build-up to this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix: "It's incredible what many out there in the States are doing within their sports, all the way down to the people who are hosting.

    "So many people are standing with the players and really pushing for change.

    "I haven't spoken to anyone about it but I am really proud of so many out there and I do stand unified with them.

    "I don't really know how us not doing the race is a thing. But I will try and speak to F1 to see what else we can do to continue to raise awareness and help push.

    "And as a sport we all need to be aligned and supporting one another, even though it is a different sport."

    In support of Black Lives Matter, I've decided to 'take the knee' every time a black person is shot. I only use U.S. deaths, because they're the only ones that really matter. There are around 90 shooting deaths per day & roughly an 80% more chance of being shot & killed if you're black. I'm therefore doing this just over 70 times per day for 2 minutes each.
    I got the sack from my job as a waiter because the food was going cold, they said.
    Blatant racism, more like!

    I hope the British Government issue travel advice to people visiting America.
    It could be something like this: -
    1) U.S. Police officers are armed and don't appear to mind drawing their weapons.
    2) If arrested, you must comply.
    3) If you resist arrest, there's a good chance you'll get shot.
    4) If you appear in any way to be reaching for a weapon, there's a good chance you'll get shot.
    5) Getting shot is usually life threatening/changing.
    6) These rules apply, no matter what colour you are.
    7) The Police assess risk largely based on their & their colleagues' experiences. During WW2, for example, it was quickly realised that if you gave someone in a Waffen SS uniform the benefit of the doubt, they often betrayed that trust.
    8) If you ignore all of these & get your idiot self shot, don't worry. Your 'brethren' will get a chance to do their Christmas shopping for free in your honour.

    Yeah there’s no way he’d boycott a race and jeopardise his championship..........my old man used to say ‘Principals are all well and good lad, as long as you can afford them’. LH could certainly afford the loss in income no doubt as he’s wealthy beyond his wildest dreams I’m sure but drop points and risk the championship no way on gods little earth. Very much a case of ‘Do as I say not as I do’ .......... Double standard, patronising so and so he has revealed himself to be (yet again).

    BBC have back tracked and the lyrics will now be sang during Last Night of the Proms.

    Hope they barstards choke on their humble pie!

    I’m neither for or against QPR in any way but this guy makes a very valid explanation of the Lewis Hamilton’s of the world taking the knee being more about social media likes than any move for change in true racism (rather than just statue toppling nonsense, etc) .....

    Apparently good old BBC are down over £170 million on license fees, not just the over 75 refusniks not paying but also younger generations and families are switching over to Netflix etc.

    With a bit of luck they won't last until the next charter review in 2027.

    Agree @Barstewardsquad - I’m surprised they reported the above article in full. There must be a few journalists left there who can get a ‘true’ story out :D
