You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.
This is Marcus Rashford. Helping out at a food bank with his mum. The same man who spent last year fighting for free school meals for hungry kids. The same man who's now being abused over a penalty. He's a hero, a role model and 1,000 times the person his abusers will ever be ❤️
A huge well done to Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka and Jadon Sancho 🖤
To people of colour impacted by racist responses, remember that our humanity and value to society is not determined by our accomplishments. Respect is the bare minimum of what we deserve.
It's not a football problem, it's a society problem. It's the years of obsession with blaming immigrants for everything. Some MPs have built their career on it, media billionaires their businesses on it, we now see the nasty results #SayNoToRacism#Boris#PritiPatel
Sancho, Saka and Rashford stepped up and did our country proud.
The unwarranted abuse they’ve been subjected to is appalling.
There is no place for racism in our country and those responsible for this abhorrent discrimination should be deeply ashamed of themselves.
There is no evidence, and never has been to restrict #Weddings. Its all based on the pre-conceived & wrong assumptions of #Male politicians that are completely discriminatory of a 80% female industry #whataboutweddings
The PM has just given an update on Step 4 from 19th July 👇🏻
😷 Masks will no longer be legally required
💃 Nightclubs can re-open
⚽🎸 No limits on gatherings at sports or festivals
💍 Weddings and funerals will have no limits
🍻 End of mandatory table service & venue check-ins
As we come to the fourth step, we have to balance the risks – the risks of the disease and the risks of continuing with legally enforced restrictions that inevitably take their toll on people’s lives and livelihoods.
Scenes like this that are completely legal and allowed are just devastating to couples. We have waited so long, jumped so many hoops yet you still won't allow our wedding as originally planned. How is this fair @BorisJohnson ? #whataboutweddings
Via @Telegraph “Just one in 125 fatalities are now linked to coronavirus. Almost 14 times as many deaths are caused by pneumonia and flu.” The overwhelming statistical evidence must surely: “see off the doom-monger scientists and lift remaining restrictions later this month.”
Yesterday I spent the day in tears as weddings have been completely shafted yet again with sneaky updates to rules. Surely if you can amend them to restrict more so quickly, you can amend them to give parity with other large events just as fast @BorisJohnson#whataboutweddings
You seem to enjoy a good old standing drinks reception @BorisJohnson - do you even know that they carry a £10K fine if there's a bride & groom present? Either you have no idea or you just enjoy rubbing salt into the wounds of so many couples who just long for a normal wedding....
Hey @BorisJohnson - if you can stand up and have a drink with your ‘mates’ while you watch the football, why can’t couples celebrate with a glass in hand with friends and family on their wedding day?
Or don’t the rules apply to you?
#whataboutweddings
We see you @BorisJohnson. We see you making the rules and flouting them when it suits you. We see your list of priorities and see what you value. We see you behaving like you’re above the rules.
We see you exactly for who are you.
