What the Tories want, above all else, is for the disgusting dog-whistle racism THEY CHOSE against 🏴 , to stop being a story. The players' Tweets tonight mean the story is live and unfolding ... it's the only story actually. Let's make sure...
... what comes out of this is not just a big anti racist movement in sport, not just zero tolerance for racism, but a *struggle against racism* by the left/Labour movement - which means moral leadership....
... everyone who's been on a doorstep knows how deeply racism is embedded in English society. It comes from structural racism and the legacy of Empire. It's very deep and has been growing not waning ...
... every time I've seen racism overcome in the minds of reluctant white English ppl it was when mass resistance showed them who the real enemy is. It shouldn't be up to the players. It's up to us.
