Seems to be a thing now that everything has to be categorised as ‘ left or right’. This is a football issue ( Newcastle are a football team) and potentially a Blues news story because if Knighthead achieve their ambitions for us , we will be a Premier League club and do we really feel comfortable about the EPL or the club spying on our fans social media views and deciding whether your legally held opinions will lead to a ban from attending ? I’m not, and I’m not even on any social media platform. Cheers and kro Which is pretty much what I was thinking, along with they might police forums. I wasn't worried about what Nigel Farage would make of it.

So we have one known case, being punted by Toby young and his right wing money making machine, along with the usual rags like the daily mail and the telegraph that make their money from agitating people that the world is going mad
Do we know the facts of the case? No.
Do we know if it’s an endemic problem that happens on a wide scale? No
Is it more spurious crap punted by the same old faces. Yep

A pretty small part compared to X or Facebook but still part of it. I do agree that it is not Blues related and as such should be moved here but it is football related.

I don’t think anyone was debating the link to football.
The main board is for blues related chat.

Maybe, and I hope not, I hope this is a flash in the pan; but should we reach the promised land, it may become a Blues issue. Then maybe the thread will be moved again. In fairness the EPJ, the thead can branch out a bit.

You only need to click on PF, see recent posts, then enter Tory into the search, to know what he thinks. Forever plays the man, not the ball; or 'Ad hominem attacks' as was eloquently put. Should he make an interesting, relevant point, great, and by all means offer your considered view. Otherwise, a waste of time.

Ah who’s playing the man now… I think pointing out that these videos are pumped out by either mysteriously funded think tanks or by right winging groups begging for money (Toby young) is a fair criticism of why these silly stories are always in the public sphere Talking of mysteriously funded think tanks- the IEA are at the forefront of the hilariously named Popcon with Farage and co today. Another ridiculous outfit trying to rile people up over issues that really don’t matter. Who funds the IEA? Why don’t they declare their funding? Get to the bottom of that - and you get to the bottom of why people like Toby Young spew this stuff out

Thanks Royalblue, tbh I was eluding to the main social media platforms and should have made it clearer ,but lunch break was coming to an end so I rushed it a bit 🙂 This is the only social media outlet that I have any time for, because it’s full of fellow sufferers who all have a common desire, for our club to be the best it can be and it’s this that binds us together;my concern with this story is that when we step inside our ground , we leave our political views and differences behind in unity as Blues fans.The thought that some faceless individual could say that you are excluded from the stadium and can’t be a supporter if you don’t agree with some unrelated ideology is very disturbing to me. Cheers and kro

Indeed Kenny. The potential extent of such exclusion of course is sadly not just limited to attending football matches. The implications to individual freedom stretches well beyond that. The inclusion on offer is only extended to those that agree with this particular ideology and exclusion for those that don’t. It is ever a feature of those who are ideologically captured that they lack accurate political awareness so blinded are they by their convictions that what they are doing is right. What will happen to those excluded from this new socially justice utopia? A hundred years ago the communists in Russia and the fledgling Nazi’s in Germany thought that they were ‘doing the right thing’ based on their respective ideological certainties. We all know how that turned out for millions and millions of innocent people.

As Tilts pointed out, with his reference to Nigel Farage. What we all saw was a coordinated attempt by the banks, to shut him down. They'd have no difficulty in doing it to any or all of us.
The rainbows and taking the knee were bad enough, and in my view, this shit should have been nipped in the bud, there and then.
This latest development is one to keep an eye on.
