WTF,I never said give the money from mental health issues to the police all I have said the police need more money not less, as they deal with poop a lot more than you or I know.

Yes a friend of mine was a police woman but after holding a young man who was a stab victim had died in her arms had to retire for mental health reasons due to stress over that instance and more.
So in essence the police need to be looked after as much as others.
Mental health issues need more help,drug addiction issues need help,child exploitation issues needs help, more money and resources to these and more is what is required not taking money from the police it would result in less police to do their job. Increase tax by a penny in the pound if needs.

I take it in around 3 weeks time will you be starting a similar post regarding armistice day and RL traditionally promoting/respecting this and how it's amplifying a political cause. Or if this year they choose to not do anything will you fly off into "poppy rage"

"Our game" has a long proud history of racial integration, racial firsts, and a Long proud history of Black players who have lit up "our game" Black history month in the U.K. As been going for 27 years, and this is the first year I remember when the RFL super league and sky sports have done anything this significant. Its long over due that it has taken us 27 years to truly celebrate our great Black players.

It's not an agenda it's a celebration, nor is respecting showing solidarity to BLM and a firm commitment to stamping out racial injustice an agenda.

And many black players had a bloody rough time of it, having to prove themselves far more than others, this has been heard from players up and down dale. It wasn't because RL was particularly diverse or inclusive, it was because of a need to make money and be successful. that meant if you were good enough it didn't matter, that didn't mean that black players had equity but someone who could improve the number through the gates and helped you win matches was business savvy, nothing to do with diversity and racial integration as you call it.

As for poppy/armistice, it should NEVER be a part of sport, just like the sickening minutes silence for some person/people who die in a tragedy that absolutely nothing to do with rugby league, done because not to do so makes you look like you don't care/are callous/not PC.
That general public are pretty much crow barred into poppy mania and any other charity supporting or political movement is indicative of how things have hit rock bottom. I find it sickening that it's general public putting their money in to support armed forces personnel and their families when they need support for a whole host of things, I find it sickening that again general public are asked/guilt tripped to support child charities, cancer charities etc, all these things should be funded by government from taxation.
Given the amount of tax dodged by big corps and money spaffed away on all sorts of crud like rebuilding Westminster for one, handing out fat contracts to mates for faulty face masks, hundreds of millions on 'consultancy' fees (£420M just for Brexit alone) there should be plenty of money to support everyone, plenty to help develop medicines.
Do I buy a poppy, no, not now, it's needless pollution, I think we should have a virtual poppy on our phones or at least have one that is fully recyclable/biodegradable, I wore a poppy made from old cotton garments a few years back made at the old village school that doubles as a museum. I do support

But I object to the way armistice and the poppy image brought into sport as well as any other political stuff like BLM.

Stay on topic instead of making personal comments, I support the legion and many other organisations, I object to political stuff thrown into sport, it's not necessary, there are plenty of opportunities to make your voice heard personally away fom sporting occasions.
I object to how governments waste money instead of putting OUR money into the things that are needed, why dn't you object to that, particularly now when almost a trillion pounds has been wasted and tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands more people are going to die as a consequence of government over-reaaction, handing out contracts without due process and much more, you don't object to that? .
So you accept everything in life and have no objections to anything, why do you think political stuff is acceptable in sport and forcing people both fans/players to bow to pressure to participate and be a part of these things?

It's the sin bin. We've had people arguing the Earth was flat and the moon is a big dinner plate and that Sky doesn't use satellites they use big antennae. Visit at your peril.
