Dominic Raab is facing a backlash after criticising the BLM 'taking the knee' protest - saying it is like something out of Game of Thrones. The Foreign Secretary said the gesture, which has been at demonstrations around the world since the death of George Floyd, 'feels to me like a symbol of subjugation and subordination rather than one of liberation and emancipation'. He accepted other people 'feel differently' and insisted he understood the 'frustration' felt by oppressed communities, but added: 'I take the knee for two people, the Queen and the Mrs when I asked her to marry me.'

ya, it’s part and parcel of the ongoing critical-theory teardown of the USA...
The thing we need to do is kneel as a symbol of kneeling on the black man (ala George Floyd) and they’ll forbid we ever kneel again.
Problem solved.
How about the last question about the source of your nick?
Just curious...

Biblical quote (literate, but not religious here) that I always liked. “Cast ye not your pearls before swine”... in other words, “don’t waste your time with someone who isn’t interested.”
Matthew 7:6.
Some here have commented that I must have copied it from a comic strip of that name, but that is not so.
The last sentence in the excerpt...
“I take the knee for two people, the Queen and the Mrs when I asked her to marry me.”
Know it’s still early morning, but get a cuppa of joe and get “woke”.
;>) have a good one.
They're really rich, slave-owner scarves.
The establishment they want to subvert are the only ones in this society who are ‘keeping the lights on’, so to speak. When present day WORKERS and pensioners are gone... the wore will have to either work themselves or throw themselves on the mercy or the government...or ‘somene’
Remind the rioters and looters.... ‘what’cha gonna do...freeze in the dark while you starve?’
It’s always been pretty clear to me that if I work and take care of myself then I am ALSO taking care of a LOT of Americans who benefit from the programs MY taxes fund. One worker is NOT just ONE worker.
Correction:
“...the woke will have to either work …”
I got you.
I will not kneel to anyone.
If trump were speaking and a bunch of people took a knee trump could say —
Ok all you kneelers out there I appreciate the respect and adoration but you can now rise.
