    If some feel taking the knee is now slowly losing its impact , it doesn't make them racists.

    It's reported decent genuine and even black players and sides think the action has perhaps had its day, and perhaps should now end ,still doesn't make them racists .
    I would agree with you that it shouldn't make a difference regarding voting intention and what papers you read but its definitely a factor

    Let's be honest here if someone gets their news from The Sun or The Daily Mail they are going to be fed some right nasty stuff regarding race and immigration .

    And when the tory party openly courts the immigration card then its going to attract people of a racist persuasion to vote for them .

    Having said that there are lots of people from white working class backgrounds who read The Sun and vote Labour and some of the attitudes on building sites towards black people and some of the racially offensive terms used wouldn't go down well with the Islington Labour Party .

    I think the tories are very clever in attracting the white working class who are right wing in thinking regarding race

    Thats why Labour are fecked.
