I wish I could claim that this sort of thing did something.
Though there is no evidence that it does anything.
Humans are so driven to be socially accepted that they will not step out of line.
Furthermore, humans are selfish, and 2066 is a long way off – “I’ll be dead by then anyway.”
As Liverpool and Manchester City were engaged in a 2-2 draw on Sunday afternoon, a plane flying a banner including the words “British to be minority” was flown over the Etihad Stadium.
The game itself was a thriller, and the scoreline was a repeat of the result when the two teams met at Anfield back in October. Kevin De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus were on target for the hosts, while Diogo Jota scored Liverpool’s first equaliser and Sadio Mane levelled things up for a second time in the 46th minute.
However, the banner, spotted by a number of people watching the game, baffled football fans following on social media. What’s more, it is not the first time a plane banner has attracted attention during a Premier League match.
“British To Be Minority By 2066” was the wording on the banner, with a photo appearing on Twitter during the first half. “Words fail me” was the verdict from one viewer, while another claimed the message “Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever”.
One football fan pointed out that “British is already the minority. There’s like 7 billion other people”. “2066 is oddly specific,” another pointed out.
It comes less than two years after a controversial banner was flown over the same stadium during City’s game against Burnley. On that occasion, “White Lives Matter Burnley” was the message displayed.
Of course…
Clarets captain Ben Mee was asked about that incident back in 2020, and strongly condemned the act. “I’m ashamed and embarrassed that a small number of our hands have decided to fly that around the stadium,” the former Man City defender told Sky Sports at the time.
“They have completed the point. There’s a group of lads in there that is embarrassed to see that, they’ve missed the point of the whole thing we are trying to achieve and these people need to come into the 21st century and educate themselves.
Educate yourself on the benefits of multiculturalism.
Read the book… uh… the book that shows the benefits of multiculturalism, which is called… umm… no, never mind the books – to educate yourself, just watch more Netflix.
These uneducated fools are not watching nearly enough Netflix, and that is why they are threatening our democracy.
They may also be watching too much Monty Python.
