Neither would I well said Dominic all the supporters of BLM they are taking the piss nobody knows who runs it it is NOT registered anywhere it is run by Activist who support the Left
Another vacuous member of the UK government who simply don't get it.
Correct !!!
Too right DominicRaab why be subjugated by anyone other than the crown!
I only take the knee for my Lord JESUS CHRIST
A Wedgwood medallion shows someone 'take a knee'. A much better point of reference than Game of Thrones. This struggle has been a long one; refer also to Maya Angelou adaption the 1896 poem by Paul Laurence Dunbar, “We Wear the Mask,”
Anyone remember when the words ‘breaking news’ meant something actually worth noting?
Well why wouldn't he, after all this is Britain isn't it, might not seem so with all the nonsense going on at the moment, but once we get decent journalism and news coverage back on the TV channels, plus get rid of all the anti British people in positions of power we will be back
Mostly because he’s a prat!
Can't we agree with an issue without having to display subservience, it's 2020..not 1750...this issue is an imperative for us all...and England can lead the world on this, without demo's and vandleism, All lives matter equally
I’m in agreement with Dominic Raab. This is not something people have to be forced into. Yes, it is something symbolic but it’s also demeaning and subjugating. Certainly this BLM campaigner feels so strongly he wishes harm to Mr Raabs wife. Because of ppl like him, I will not.
Good for him ! The only times I take the knee is 1: putting on my dogs collar & 2: tying up my shoes.. Also the dog collar bit ain’t some weird dog sex fetish ! I’ve got a dog...
He has knees ? I didn’t know robotics had advanced so much
Good for him.
I didn’t know the queen had a wife 😉
Dominic Raab a great bloke and any footballer who doesn't kneel will be hounded out of the game by the scum media such as the Independent and the Guardian and the Daily Mirror, the Marxist newspapers. All lives matter.
Media bullying Dominic Raab into taking the knee, Independent you should be ashamed!!! I'm with Raab on this one...
Good for him. Top man.👏
Good for Dominic Raab 👏👏👏
DaveCOU07300517 Agree with him. No self respecting person with a functioning brain would allow themselves to be manipulated in this way. Meanwhile there are plenty white sheep being conned. 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
Poor news day then 🙄
I’d be happy to knee him.
Who's Dominic Raab this is hardly breaking news.
Fair do's. Tbh I don't get the whole take a knee thing. Haven't been bothered to read up on why it's a thing and no one has told me so, it's not something I'd do either. My pov is based purely on what taking a knee means historically.
A L L L I V E S M A T T E R
So!
And...?
This isn’t BREAKING NEWS.
And rightly so. Enough of this non-news. Boring!
Good for him
I guess we know who wears the pants in DominicRaab house... Sssh you didn't hear it from me...
He is right.
Good on Dominic No man should be forced to kneel alllivesmatter
And quite right 👏👏👏👏
DominicRaab We are going to see him on his knees soon begging for his job.
As he should, wtf are people kneeling for in 2020? Kneeling? Gtfo.
Good. No one should feel they were obliged to.
Brilliant from Raab. 👍
The title 'queen, king, prince, or noble family' is merely titles of insulting others used in the past to despise the other human beings We must only kneel to God the creator, He created humans equally, but some prefer to be treated at a low level, That is their choice.
AS IT SHOULD taking a knee for anything else is showing submissive behaviour or being concurred and asking ppl to take a knee is no better than owning a slave did any of the police or government take a knee over our terrorist attacks or the rape of our you woman and girls NO.
I’m pretty sure Raab would take the knee for a “world beating” advisor like Cummings.....
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it’s called democracy!
Exceptional comment sir....🤓🇬🇧🤓
Quite right
A non-story.
Me too
What’s happened to democracy surely it’s his choice
Are you saying that people in Britain have no choice but to take the knee? If so, what will you do to people who don’t want to? If I don’t do it, am I racist? No, just an ordinary person trying to get on with life amongst sheer madness!🤔
Too right
Well done Dominic.
Breaking news
Spot on. Oh and the independent are shit
ME TOO - Only for the Queen and Pope ONLY not for some ridiculous movement.
We all would.
How is this news? Do you hear yourself?
Snap
Fair shout!
Sticky no kneeling: just bending, twisting and turning for doners, public opinion and the party leader. Oh and Dominic Cummings, of course!
Same here! ISTANDwithDominicRaab
Spot on
And?
And
...and he’s absolutely spot on. Lefties weep with faux outrage everywhere.
Good it’s about time a politician had the balls to stand up to the bullying mob.
Good on him. 👏🏻👏🏻
Quite right
Crazy how this is news! Who gives a f**k!? Politicians have much more to be doing and to be held accountable for then this soundbite and current woke narrative. If this is his belief then he is entitled to it and people should respect this irrespective of whether you agree or not
I only take a knee for God. Why any race people should be surrendered by BlackLivesMatter activists or racial advocates? Nigel_Farage BorisJohnson realDonaldTrump BBCNews Telegraph guardian NeonNettle ThudNews ColumbiaBugle USPoliticsPoll
Or to suck Johnson’s Johnson
Amen 👊🇬🇧
And God
Dropping hints for a knighthood?
He's absolutely right!
Good man.
So what?
Fair enough...
I agree. And quiet often not the wife.
Yes, and...?
What’s wrong with that🤔
Quite right too. Most people would agree I suspect
Good and he’s right. Nobody takes a knee for me, why should they Is a knee the new handshake
With any luck he'll take a knee in the balls.
I’d only take the knee for Royalty too
Good
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Good man. Same as the vast majority of blokes regardless of what Sky News and the BBC tries to tell you.
As would any person with self respect.
And your point is
Totally right 🇬🇧
Absolutely correct! 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Good.
At least he has guts to say that
Andy_Gez_ 👍⭐️
Top man - commonsense.
And for men
Way to go Dom ,thats two Dom's who can set the left on fire haha
Imagine describing this as 'breaking news' what a joke you've become.
He's right
Excellent!
Too right. Well done Raab
And 99% of Britain’s 100% support DominicRaab Political correctness, freedom of speech and own thought have been under attack since that C.U..T. Tony Blair’s Labour Party took power. Today Labour Party are ultra hard left and need to outlawed.
Damned right.
Make him right
Well done DominicRaab 👏👏👏
I agree
DominicRaab we as a nation are proud of you. Twitter is full of support for your response to bending the knee. Well done sir.
Hes an embarrasment
Good
Or Dominic Cummings...
Good lad ❤️ don't be a little Sheepy bitch 😂
Chapeau DominicRaab, I take the knee for no one except my former employer
Quite right too.
How is this breaking news?
Breaking News Dominic Raab says what most people think about the phoney marxist cult that is BLM.
I have a 3rd option
Fantastic and I agree
Huge respect for Dominic Raab .
Good man!
Good on him.......fed up of this bullshit
Oddball
And rightly so neither will I
MeToo
I agree with him. Well said DominicRaab 👏🏼 👏🏼
Correct respect to that man
Too true
My view is that people should only do it if they believe what they are doing has value. If people are being forced into doing it, it has absolutely no meaning at all. They would end up doing it to shut people up. Possibly similar reasons companies are making reparation payments.
Quite right too
And?
Good for raab
Sod that, knee for nobody
Only right!
Good enough reason
Personal choice... high profile people are being bullied into doing this with the fear of being ostracised. He is brave and right not to submit
Well said Dominic
That’s his choice 👌
As would the vast majority.
Floyd was a criminal, his offences was at the worst on the scale. Perhaps if he didn't break the law or tried to kill a pregnant woman the police wouldn't have to had to arrest him. He is not a saint, he is a criminal plain and simple. He should not be idealised.
RealProfTwatter What’s wrong with that 🤷♂️
Shows where we are when shite like this makes the news.
Quite right too
Why for Queen That doesn’t make any sense? cummingsresign
RealProfTwatter
I wouldn’t even do it for the queen. It’s possible to oppose racism without some trite ceremony to signal your virtue. If that’s not good enough, tough shit
So his wife is a head of state
Or Boris
Please, please, he said ‘when I proposed’. Anything else is too hideous to contemplate. And her Maj isn’t likely to see him on one knee any time soon either. Or ever, preferably. He should be on both knees, apologising to the nation along with the rest of the cabinet.
I agree with him
He is free to make his own choice. He hasn't done anything wrong.
Rightly so & why is this news ?
Same here
This is breaking news?.......scum media are at it again!....
As should anyone.
Top bloke
Is that headline supposed to induce outrage? I get the impression it's a pretty common sentiment
Wife before queen surely for easier life
Good for him👍
Can't believe this is even news, it's just common sense. Great to hear.
Breaking fucking news 🤦🏻♂️
Well done Mr Raab
iEvizu Do what? You Brits are soooo funny
Good for him.
UKfollowgain Damn right
Breaking news ,who gives a fuck.
Absolutely!
And bloody right he is too... well played DominicRaab
👍
Absolutely. Top man.
The pile on from the far left just shows he has triggered all the right people.
And what's wrong with that? Nothing. He is entitled to his opinion as much as everyone else.
Sounds like a good plan.
Spot on. Completely agree
Good! No one should kneel to anyone else.
It doesn’t mean anything it’s lost what it was mean to stand for
Quite right
SPOT FIVE DIFFERENCES if you love challenge and think you can win .. don't lose time and download it now i challenge you (win) ios: android: YouTube
Spot on Raab.
All the things happening in the world today and all the good happening that is news worthy, I find myself reading this. Slandering a secretary of state because dividing and hating makes the world turn round. Journalism at its best...(definitely not sarcasm)
And this is breaking news. Jesus the man has a backbone
Prick
Good man DominicRaab, spoke common sense and in touch with the majority of the country who haven’t been divided by the death of a career criminal.
Rightly so
And this is seen as shocking by , its readers and the Left in general... Incredible.
Me too
StandWithRaab
Top man
That is going to really piss God off.
Big deal.
Spot on and he didn't need to clarify. DominicRaab
RealProfTwatter Totally agree with him.
So would I tbf.
And?
Why is this news?
Damn right
Top Bloke. 100% agree.
Good man
So what? Not offended at all by this and I don’t intend to try to be ...
المحاضرة الاولي : المحاضرة الثانية : المحاضرة الثالثة : المحاضرة الرابعة : المحاضرة الخامسة الجزء الاول
Is this really breaking news
How is this breaking? He is entitled to his opinion. Why would any rational person that has always behaved kindly to others take a knee for something their ancestors may or may not have done?
And Dom is Absolutely quite correct and so say all of us.. it’s all getting quite out of hand, I have never seen so much racism in my life time.. caused by all you silly simpering subservient wimps
The Queen only for me. Always.
“Breaking News” 🤣🤣
And maybe god (agnosticism aside). I’m not sure I’d take a knee for the Queen anymore, if asked. Speaking from a British history in a monarchical system. It is an act of subservience or submission to another. I thought we were passed that. I take a knee to, or for no man.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Bang on as well.
Totally agree.
AND! What’s wrong with that ?
I doubt the Queen or Raab's wife would enjoy Raab going down on them.
Good for him 👍
Good for him
Quite right too!
👍👍👍
Andy_Gez_ Good, I will add to that God, in church.
Well said Dom !
Nice one DominicRaab some back bone and sanity, bollox to the race baiting virtu signallers.
Hurrah for Dominic Rabb, God Save the Queen
DominicRaab is quite right.
Agree
piquesghost Why is this news ?
Good....at least he is honest!!! Fuck kneeling for anyone!!!!
I say absolutely
mfogarty__ Which is his right.
Good man.
RealProfTwatter Now that's breaking news!
People who take the knee......
And your point is ?
Why the fuck would you kneel for this Blm mob
And Dominic, obviously.
At last, someone willing to say what the uk majority think.
Good.
As he is quite entitled to. He will show respect for Black Lives Matter in his own way. Perhaps he prefers a less public, less ostentatious way.
And?
Please join hands with HKers to stand up to CCP. We have to defend the free world. StandWithHongKong
ImWithRaab
So would I! Well said DominicRaab
How selfish are you
And rightly so, fuck BLM.
Well said DominicRaab 👏🏻👏🏻
Why knee to terrorists.
Absolutely agree with him. I back BlackLivesMatter .Never had a problem with any plp.
Good
Good on him.
He’s right
I think he meant - ‘yes of course. As a sign of solidarity with those who need support’... what a dick
Free country
We live in a free country, a democracy with freedom of speech and thought. It is optional.
... or to give Dominic Cummings a BJ.
Too right and i wont be taking a knee either for the facist lefties, a criminal dies in America and ive to get on my knees fuck right off
Top guy 👍
So?
Excellent, I think that was perfectly worded.
So he's a cuck🤣
I’m 100% in agreement with him
Well said, Mr. Raab, had enough of all these cowards bending the knee.
✋✋✋✋✋🇬🇧
What he has married that bitch Cummings!!! never.
Well said, I 100% agree with him 👍👏👏
Same here! I’m not kneeling for some poncy crusade, I kneel before the Queen & God no one else and certainly no Cult!
Me 2.
Breaking News? Really? FFS!
Do they think before speaking? Not sure at all. Almost every day one can listen a government official saying sorry for an ill comment. It’s time to have a proper leader! BoJo has to go, now!
Well said Dominic. Good for you. Common sense.
Well said .
Top man!
Good for him. Nice to see a politician not being forced under pressure to do something. Doesn't mean he's a racist. Means he's got a backbone unlike the spineless point scoring Starmer.
Good.
I really don’t see a problem with this.
Well said Dominic.
Seems fair enough ... 👍
So would I ... ( my wife , not his 😁) Blown out of all proportion by the the Media, intent on stirring it up as usual .. 🙄
Excellent. Quite right too.
As anyone would with self respect. Imagine kneeling to a far left Marxist mob? No chance ever.
Why is that news?
At last a politician not scared of the mob, bollocks to this virtual signaling rubbish.
Spot on.
Fair enough. That’s his choice and right. We aren’t a communist country
And? So would many.
Bravo.
Why would anybody who isn't black take the knee?
Quite right. It's his opinion. Everyone is entitled to that.
Well said Raab
Why is this breaking news?
Is this the most important news at the moment...really? 🙄
The only way it should be. This racist, black supremacist narrative needs to stop.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
🇬🇧👈👏👏👏👏👏he's got it in one, bravo😊
Well said that man👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍 kneel?
People may not like it but it’s his right to decide what to do. James McClean doesn’t wear a poppy. I think he should but it’s his decision at the end of the day. I won’t be taking a knee. I’m certain black people I know won’t give a toss either.
👏👏👏👏
Excellent statement and correct
Correct!
Good for him. Its called choice & freedom.
I probably would say the same thing but I am 100% against Racism
Not a truer word spoken. It should not even be news.
I will kneel for no one and nothing, not the queen, not god. I am an equal, that’s what equality is.
imagine being surprised that he’s said that
Yes! All lives matter
Good on him
Totally agree. People have a choice & I would choose not to do it..
AND?
Quite right too.
DominicRaab BorisJohnson SkyNews BBCNews Raab will only get on his knees for the queen or his wife. Well we know for the queen it’s a knighthood, but thats an interesting bit of info about his missus, bet she’s overjoyed about him giving out she likes a bit or oral!
Does Brian May & Roger Taylor count 😛
Absolutely! Me too!
Spot on. I fully concur that racism to all people is abhorrent and we should live in peace with equality for all. But I kneel to no man and forcing people to kneel, to “express solidarity” with your cause is facism. We defeated that shit in 1945.
And God but that it he is right
Good man RaabStandsTall
Bloody right too.
Will he's going to be waiting for a long time if he thinks that he'll ever get Knighthood 🤣
Only times I would do it if HM was confering a knighthood on me and to read to gas & electricity meters on ground level. Now I have smart meters it will only be for HM.
Good man
He's right.👏👏👏
Good for him
Good man!
Poor Boris!
What an absolute tool
Well said.
Good on him - though why this is news is beyond me, to be honest
Good man Dominic 👏🏻👏🏻
Who cares
Glad to hear it...
Cool dude
And rightly so. NoKneeling
100% right
Brilliant. Read it in its entirety and not in soundbites...well done DominicRaab
Taking the knee is for easily lead halfwits so why shoud he?
Good!
Quite right!
Such a witty man.🙄
Your point being ? Grow up it’s not mandatory or are we going all fascist and liberally turning everyone into little fascist
This a measure of your swift descent into gutter press...do you not have more pressing topics to deal with eg. ongoing slavery worldwide, child grooming gangs to name but two.
Good, so would I but my wife not his👍
👍👍👍
Good for him
Yep, sounds fair.
Good.
And for Soggy biscuit
He’s 100% correct.
He’s trying to open a new front in their precious culture war. The only thing keeping them in power. Kneeling isn’t about subjugation. It’s about humility. That’s why he doesn’t get it.
Damn right too.
Good for Mr Raab.
Good. Suck it up
And then back tracked.....how cowardly.
I would only take the knee before God.
Rightly so.
And that’s the way it should be
And he's spot on and my opinion of him has just gone up
Well done him.
Good
Ideal. As it should be
Quite right too.
Keep this stuff coming from the Tories, they just keep showing they have no clue about public opinion or about right and wrong
I think taking the knee is disingenuous tbh, talking would be better and I am mixed race by the way.
Could not agree more with DominicRaab about time the government stood up for ALLLIVESMATER not a anarchist group who hate democracy have any one noticed they Channel4 have a advert every 15 minutes to brainwash us c4 is funded by us DefundTheBBC and Channel4
If he educated himself as to what it represents, he still probably wouldn’t do it because the tories don’t care.
'BREAKING NEWS' 😂
Honesty is questionable on this symbolic gesture because clearly some, often celebs or the many attention seekers of today are diving onto one knee to gain public kudos and make people think they passionately care about something they didn't bother with before. Publicity jockeys.
Spot on Dominic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The symbolism of this statement is truly shocking. Now you see him and now you don’t. The higher up you are the longer the fall.
Good for him.
Good
What a legend than man is... I would do exactly the same..
Well said! 😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Well that makes at least 2 of us
YES O YES. !
Good
Good.
Sounds about right to me.
THAT FUCKING TRUE , ID ONLY GO ON TO MY KNEE FOR QUEEN & COUNTRY !
Good fella.
Well said Dominic. The difference between the party in charge and the hated labour party
Not very bright is he? Not sure why Doverbis important for trade and thinks Lima is in Portugal. Now completely ignorant about taking a knee as protest. I am surprised he can walk and chew gum at the same time.
Well done
It’s definitely fromGame of Thrones
Champion.
Hoorah well said DominicRaab 👏👏👏
Good for him.
Well said
Or his lobbyists while sucking on their D but hope he gets a knee pad for it as it’s a long queue of them 147 billionaires in the country so it’s time to tax them right or let him do the sucking
Well said that man, I would not take the knee for no man/woman!
Yes and he’s right !!!! This has nothing to do with race , it never was was , it’s just disgusting the whole lot of it , get of yours knees and stand up and be counted
Well said
👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 about time this govt showed leadership and got this kneeling to fuck
DominicRaab Excellent reply! Many agree with you but have been silenced. We all are entitled to freedom of choice!
👏👏👏👏
Good. He's right. Neither would most of the country.
Yes and hes right. The majority of us wouldn't either. Blm dont want equality. They RCA far left maxist black supremacy movement with an anti white agenda. Start telling the truth for a change
barbara45742047
What about the rest of his bosses? Us, those who allow him his position. Sounds like certain politicians need to be reminded of their place as servants.
And?
I agree with him ..but why the hell is that breaking news ffs?
Excellent, a man of principle then. I'm certainly not going to spend a bean on football till this ridiculous practice ceases.
Good
And we love him for saying it FBLM
Quite right aswell.
And he is right. Same here. StandWithRaab
And he is right
I'd only ever take a knee to tie my shoe laces.
He’s totally correct
And?
Good for him
Raab is right.
DominicRaab Well done Dom, don't be bullied into doing anything. IstandwithRaab
.Good! 6m Jews were forced to 'take the knee'. No one supported them. Least of all left wing nufascist racists. jewslivesmatter
Correct answer
Are you suggesting it should be otherwise? In a democracy people can show their appreciation any way they like. Personally I didn't clap and I won't be kneeling but if it appeals knock yourself out.
Good lad.
Britons kneel to no one. We are one of the most tolerant counties on earth.
Good.
IWillNotTaketheKnee
GOOD lad!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
And the whole knee thing is like GOT and he had too much champagne when kneeling for his wife? Is this where we are? Rather than compassion/humility we make light at best, and are pernicious at worst? I’m disappointed - this is beyond politics - it’s about humanity DominicRaab
Excellent news. Time this woke kneeling nonsense is exposed for the stupidity it is.
There are better ways to achieve equity for black people around the world which doesn't rely on bending the knee. The world needs social mobility and people excluded from this key aspirational function are from all walks of life not just the black community
He is right.
Well done that man
Quite right
... or Cummings
Good.
Good man
In such a failing government we are lucky to have MattHancock, and he has my thanks for what he does for us
Yeah metoo
Good man.
Or Dominic Cummings
Good on him
We are very lucky to have MattHancock in our cabinet - I am very greatful for all that he does for us
GOOD FOR HIM.
As it should be ScumMedia
Good
The Queen?
Off with his head off then Fake queen
I’d happily knee him in the bollocks
And that's fine. Why is this headline news?
xtinexoop Dominic Raab should learn to think before he speaks. It would also be a good idea to read, and study, important documents.
Good for him👍 I totally agree
Disgraceful. As a Jew he should continually embrace the fact that we too are immigrants. As a human being as much
Well said, it's what most people think.
And that was the correct response from him
Same here. Well said Dominic 👍
That’s an independent logical thinker there... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Just like the majority then...
Does he know where his knee is?
Absolutely right. I won't bend down for Marxists and anti-capitalists. They will probably use it to get the first machete blow in
How is this breaking news?
Hooray. A proper man at last. To your own self be True
....because he is not swayed to think like anarchists and virtue signalling idiots.
Well said Dominic. Only dogs and chimps lower themselves in submission.
👍
Quite right, who in their right mind would kneel to a career criminal ?
Well done him
So would the majority of the country I’m sure. Taking the knee is nothing more than cowering which isn’t dealing with the issue it’s simply transferring it.
Quite right
Fantastic. Well said Mr Raab. 👏👏👏
Totally agree, why should he bend the knee to anyone else? Why should any of us for that matter?
Not sure why this is news. No person should be pressured in to something like this.
DominicRaab If you don't understand what is going on, it's best sometimes to just shut up.
Ignorance brings Chaos not knowledge DominicRaab It's a curse on our fight against racial injustice and social discrimination if you pretend and take a knee for something you don't believe in. Thank you for making us know the devil's face, so we know what we are fighting against
Which is his perogative... Everyone's free to have an opinion of their own
Time gives legitimacy to its existence. Time is the only true unit of measure. It gives proof to the existence of matter. Without time, we don’t exist. DominicRaab you still got time to make a better change in your life. You can hate us, deny unity, but time will unite us all.
Rightly so
If Raab was bright, which he isn't, he'd understand that taking the knee for BLM is solidarity, not some racial deference. And that's where we are. A mob of idiots who don't understand, shouting abuse, because they never stop to think.
Same here so whats your point?
Shameful. Taking the knee is a mark of respect & solidarity
In a “Game of Thrones” sense or a Colin Kaepernick sense? They’re two completely different meanings
Good.
GlenvilleTH Quite right
Me neither ✔️☑️✅😠
And Matthew Elliot.,.,,
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 well done Dominic Raab!
Well done, someone with a back bone👏👏👏👏👏👏🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝, want more comments like this from other torys! And mainly Boris
Good man, 👍
Good for him
Thats pathetic
craigeylesffc Absolutely correct...👍 Why is this news?🤔
Totally agree with him, many of us do! I will not bow the knee to anyone but God and the Queen, I cite the Story of Daniel in the second century BC. Soon I fear anyone who refuses to bow the knee to the BLM will be thrown into prison! Government need to get a grip on the media
Dominic Raab thinks he is Jon Snow, refuses to bend the knee for Black Lives Matter, only for Daenerys Stormborn the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons
Thank you DominicRaab
Kneeling .. isn’t that what killed George Floyd? I can think of better tributes
This, from a bloke who self labeled himself and his friends the “Grand Wizards” whilst at Chequers .... not really a surprise is it?
'Tory too good to promote the rights of others' - shock.
Quite right too!
We don't care who you take the knee for. There are racists in all walks of life. Taking a knee as a form of subjugation Bloody weasel!
Likewise and hes spot on.
Good!!
Good for him
WHY. IS. THIS. NEWS? Ffs
Ignorance brings Chaos not knowledge DominicRaab It's a curse on our fight against racial injustice and social discrimination if you pretend and take a knee for something you don't believe in. Thank you for making us know the devil's face, so we know shat we are fighting against
Good. The voice of reason.
Good lad.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
At last someone with courage to stand up to the left wing propaganda machine of BLM DominicRaab
Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻 Lots of us agree with you istandwithrabb
Brilliant, he’s standing up as he should
Well said.
'breaking news' 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Quite right too ... I would kneel to no man and would not expect any man to kneel to me
Good man
Yes, but he's a c**t. A lying, soulless c**t.
AND?
Well said Dom!!
Good for him.
Good
How is this even news Jeez 🤦♂️
Good to see Raab is not a cuck.
DEFINITELY NOT Queenie
Good man Dominic. Same here
I am giving 1-2 Indo to go bankrupt prior to Guardian
Absolutely right.
Good
He's going to make a great Prime Minister. We just need to wait until enough people have seen through Boris and his well orchestrated PR machine.
So would most right minded people. 👍
Is this really breaking news? My goodness hasn’t the media really and truly lost it. Talk about a left wing political witch hunt. Before long no self respecting person is going to watch or read anything from the mass media
Well done DominicRaab
Do they know who and what they are bowing to? Do they know Hamas is linked to BLM? Uummmm.
👏 well said Dom
And why is that breaking news..... is called a reality check... and rightly so.
As I have zero chance of ever meeting the queen I’ll save mine for my wife.
Well, I wouldn’t take the knee for the Queen or his wife
Spot on Raab..
Good for him. 😤
He’s right.
His reply was entertaining, light hearted and totally accurate. It was not a gaff despite what the BBC are trying to spin. He tweeted to add to his views. He did not apologise because he had nothing to apologise for. Well done Dominic Rabb 👏 👏
Good.
Good man! Leave the virtue signaling crap to the wet far-left ScumMedia
Bit aggressive that!
So would I
Thanks for letting me know.
And he was absolutely Right to say so! GetOffYourKnees
What’s wrong with that?
It’s okay. That’s his opinion n we respect it.
& your point is?
Good man. Well said DominicRaab 👍
Well I don't think he'll be getting a Knighthood anytime soon so he wont be kneeling for the Queen...
I would take a knee and bring it up smartly into the plums of DavidLammy
jm36429745 Damned right. Those are the only reasons any British Citizen should take knee.
good all the rest should grow some balls as well
Thank God for a man with BALLS!
Good on him
Mexico1978R Well said, Mr Raab, I’m sure you speak for most of us.
'Bout time a politician bucked a trend. Well done Raab.
As it should be.
So would I. I would never kneel for BLM
Do you agree with Dominic Raab's views ref TakeAKnee ? A: Yes, totally B: Yes, but he needs to read more about its history and usage C: No, but I support his freedom to choose D: No, not at all DominicRaab
Good for him 👏👏
sensible man. Someone has to stand up to this madness. It's so insincere too. Has anyone raised any concerns about the actual slaves of 2020- cobalt miners in DRC (it's in your mobile), slave markets in Libya, concentration camps for muslims in China ? Thought not- statues..
Top man! Unlike you shower.
Yes and there’s 1000s of us who agree with him too!
Great thread for blocking FBPE fuckwits👍
Well said Dom , most of us feel that way too.
Why is this breaking news, and why is it controversial?
Well said Foreign Secretary
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
About time ,good for you
Breaking news? Get another hobby.
Same here
Legend DominicRaab
And what of Khaleesi?
‘Breaking News’!! Ha. There’s a lot of uncertainties in the world at the moment but one things is for sure... newspapers like the Independent have changed beyond recognition!! They’re pathetic and desperate. It’s sad to see. I pity them.
Make him right !
Well said that man ,time someone spoke out and said it like it is.
Why is this breaking news? The Independent doesn't seem very independent does it? Raab only stating what over half the men in Britain think
Finally someone with a backbone.
How on Earth is this ‘Breaking News’ 🤷🏻♀️
Asking ministers to 'bend the knee' really means..Can you make yourself look stupid for our entertainment by doing a pose that means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Good for him
Good man.
Always knew he was sound
He's of the same opinion as the vast majority of us then
Shut up. He blows Bojo every week!
Maybe it means something entirely different where he comes from
👏👏
Finally, someone with a bit of self respect. AllLivesMatter 🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧
Thank goodness
British taking the knee 205 years ago
Good
kneel /niːl/ Learn to pronounce verb gerund or present participle: kneeling be in or assume a position in which the body is supported by a knee or the knees, as when praying or showing submission.
Good for him. Self respect
Kennybarnes49 Agree 100%
👏🇬🇧👏🇬🇧👏🇬🇧👏🇬🇧👏🇬🇧👏🇬🇧👏🇬🇧
Just right 👍
Me too. So what?
Good on him.
Good
I wouldn't take the knee for anyone. Because we should all stand tall and look folk straight between the eyes as equals. Nothing more and nothing less. Sick to death of this virtue signalling..
I stand with Dominic Raab
The Brits are a stupidity case study. Knee to a German Queen.
DominicRaab thank you for standing up to this woke nonsense
Like the majority of people in this Country. There is no way we'll be taking a knee for a career criminal, that has been to no good , throughout his life.
Lol. Leftist heads must be exploding everywhere. We'll forever remember where we were when we heard this news
ZecCapt I'll add God to that list as well. Just in case.
ZecCapt Good for him.
And he's right. NoToSubservience
Well thanks! I can now face the day and the rest of my life with a keen sense of renewed vigour and optimism regardless of the myriad desperate issues troubling me both at home and abroad! 🤬
ThomasTlo Good for him !!!
This is hardly news, I should think the vast majority of the population would never take the knee. It is a racist stunt.
Like most sane people then
He’s made Starmer look like an utter twonk
Or for his old school master no doubt
So not a king?
What is either 'breaking' or 'news' about a Conservative minister displaying common sense. Oh, wait ... I might have answered my own question there.
And seeing as he was part of the ‘lying to the Queen’ thing, his loyalty on that front is dubious!
Hitchslap14 Good man.
Good for him!
Well said DominicRaab
Prick
Simp
Good
jo_jnlld7935 Rightly so.
IStandWithRaab
👏👏👏
Good man!!
That’s a lie as everyone knows he took the knee when he took Cummings in his mouth 🤨 Why the fuck is that ‘breaking news’?!
Commence Unpersoning Phase 1. Please contact ThinkPol if individual is still in position within 7 days.
Support that man or your country is fooked.
At least he is being honest and admitting that he thinks black lives don’t matter, such a pity he can’t think outside the Trump playbook; then I should remind myself that the Tories are the British branch of the Republican Party.
This thead is all good man, tally ho etc. Who let you all out the home? GrandadCantKneelAnyway
With you all the way. Stand up to the bullies
I'm just here for the 'dog whistle' tweets from the leftist pedos
Only the wife for me, & then only if I was begging coz she had stockings on😳😁
Well said, spot on DominicRaab
Good for him - at least he is reflecting what I would suspect is the position of the vast majority of the British public.
He’s weird
Fair play......his choice.
breaking news guys
He has a lot more support than the media realise
DominicRaab Quite right too.
Same here, what's your point?
Totally agree
Top man
And he is quite correct
Quite right to! Police, footballers, the public at large should not be taking the knee for Antifa. As for Labour they're fully aligned with Antifa's ideology, they'll take the knee for Antifa all day long.
Good, DominicRaab no doubt echoes the sentiments of the majority.
Rightly so. Are you suggesting that everyone should capitulate to the leftists and bend the knee? Should we all just forget our own opinions to Bend the Knee? What happened to free will?
Common sense at last.
Respect to Raab 👍
What a dirty arse police does in America has got to do with us in the UK?
DAMN RIGHT TOO!
Good man
Good man 👌
What about God? Or his parents? Or children? Or Mr Cummings?
Well said 👏👏👏👏👏
Imagine taking the knee for a man who put a gun to the belly of a pregnant woman, threatening to kill her and her unborn child? The policeman who killed him needs to be prosecuted, but I don’t bend the knee for a brute like that. Sorry (not sorry!).
white_arrow_uk One doesn't pay Homage to Cultural Marxism !
And that is a very Noble statement 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
ThinRedLine5 KING SHIT
Dominic Raab for PM
Taking the knee for what ?
Damn right too.
Good show 👏👏👏
We do still have & uphold liberty, freedom & individual choice in this tolerant, fair country .....don’t we?
This is not news - this is the thoughts of millions.
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Good for him... I agree!
Sounds good to me.
Too right.
Bravo Mr Raab
bruce_bwkm 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻
Good on him.
heidiEC5 Good Man 🙏 is only take the knee to God 🙏
They're coming for Raab now...
He does his shoes up by just bending over, or does he wear slip-ons, crocs perhaps
Quite right too
When do you want him to take a knee? Before what event? Why would you want that from him? This is a nonsense news story
Abolish the monarchy. Its a joke
So 'Britain Isn't Racist' so no respect for the dead, no support for BLM and the implication that institutional and personal racism shouldn't be challenge- this man has a bad case of white privilege, knows it and thinks he's entitled to it
And so he bloody should! Kneel for no one! Good on you Dom!
And for a BoJo BJ.
Good on him
Likewise I have no intent of jumping on this passing bandwagon for me Alllivesmatter
AnnBank41695841 Gone up in my estimation
Good for Dom.
👍🏻
Because he’s a dead-eyed soulless robot with zero empathy for anyone not like him.
Good man, could easily be PM one day...
GlenvilleTH Standing up for all lives matter 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴
Quite right 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Fair play. I agree.
DominicRaab Spot on!!!
GlenvilleTH Well done Dominic Raab. 👏👏👏
I knew the Queen’s ancestors owned slaves, but that’s news about Raab’s wife.
I heard his wife gave him the knee 😳
MickeyD44314901 DefundTheBBC to save NHS
Breaking news? Someone's on cocaine again...
MickeyD44314901 Well done Raab!
Correct answer then.
Hypothetically he might get knighted by Prince Charles. So he’d kneel to him. I reckon he’d kneel infront of Boycey in Wormwood Scrubs when he’s locked up for treason or contempt of parliament. This guy is an empty vessel & thick as mince.
Gone up in my estimation even more. Good for him.
He’s right RaabTalkingSense
Kneeling for the Queen? Bootlicking peasant DominicRaab
Good on him, those taking the knee are bloody idiots.
Good man like the PM in tune with the British people 👍
Well said Dominic
So what. Fuck him.
Hardly breaking news!!
Top bloke🇬🇧💪
I wouldn’t for anyone as I’d never get back up!
Good for him!
Good
Well that's his choice. Not a thing. Next.
A story yes, but not entirely sure that constitutes “breaking” news!
he must have seen there agenda (BLM) online, get rid of capitalism, get rid of the police, he is right, until it is changed to :all lives matter : no one should.
Sensible man 😊
FatherBob Is he expecting a knighthood?
Who cares? Just stop your racist cops from killing innocent people Because they are not your race
Good for him. We should not kneel for anyone (other than the exceptions he mentioned)
Good lad
good riddance and not before time,£99m to boost chinas economic growth, a joke,£300m to Pakistani families,how about our homeless? £25m to :rainmakers : who watch ants. £2,5m to cut red tape in Serbia,£12m for the Ethiopian spice girls. £95m to india despite £100m moon landing.
Sack him then. workingclassvoice BrexitisDead
I will only take a knee to a powerless useless billionaire that does not serve any useful purpose and not to show support for the commons who are suffering and some of which are being slaughtered.
Yes, but the important part of the story is that he thinks 'taking a knee' is from Game of Thrones. He, apparently, doesn't know about Colin Kaepernick. An impressive show of ignorance.
Good man. Same here.
I will walk up to any person, look them in the eye and offer my hand. I will not kneel. Raab is still a cock though.
Good. So? An MP with a backbone, brilliant.
Thank god someone’s not pandering.
Standing shoulder to shoulder is solidarity, kneeling is subjugation
Probably lying.
Well Said Dominic Raab 🇬🇧
Shock at someone having a choice rather then submitting
He actually gets it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Me too
Good man Raab! GOOD MAN!!! 😊
That’s what it’s meant to be original. He is a very fine gentleman.
petuniasforever It’s not a matter of choice when your paymasters tell you that you must do it.
A politician at last saying what many people in this country feel but are too intimidated to say.
The man is right.
Just right.
Exactly the same as most normal people! For criminals...no, regardless of colour.
Does he understand that it's not kneeling in supplication (as both his examples are), but refusing to stand to attention?
Twat
Good Man!
and he quite correct at least 1 MP has the balls to say it as it is
At last someone who won't be bullied! Although taking the knee in a tolerant country is easy let's see how that works out for them in Qatar
petuniasforever Rightly so too!
Who does he fancy more ?
Good man.
A reflection of feelings from most of the decent public! Well said Raab 👏 👏👏
He's not alone.
Ha the queen the melt.
These are the ones controlling blacklivesmatter to destroy England for the EU.
Quite right, at last a politician not pandering to these BLM Anarchists.
Chad
Who does his shoelaces?
What he does in 'adult role play' isn't really our business.
Good.
Anytime anyone from this government opens their mouth it is a complete disaster. It's embarrassing.
Please don’t ever say a prayer for me
Good
Not his donors then? I'm sure he'd be on both knees then..
DominicRaab not sure why this is news. If him and Boris ran around a burning cross on the village green dressed in white sheets, most of wouldn’t be surprised.
Good for him the same should be said for us all. I kneel before god, and no one else.
Wonder what his mother thinks of that ?
How can this be important enough to get 'Breaking News' treatment? Was it 'breaking news' when Starmer actually took the knee and proved that he is a virtue signalling, bandwagon hopping twat?
I've never had the honour of meeting The Queen. But I did take a knee when I proposed to my wife. I'm with Dominic! 👍
Good man
Who about his mom ?
Along with the majority of us
Good.
He might live to regret that comment.
This isn't news.
Snap!!! 👍🏻
He bent right over for Cummings NotMovingOnTilDomIsGone
gwiltapril You are seriously scraping the barrel if that's your breaking news
And Gutter Press Optical Shite
Wanker
Quite right.
It’s not fucking Game of Thrones!
Yep. With him on that. ALL LIVES MATTER
gwiltapril I agree
British Mike Pence.
Great man 👏👏👏👏 All this kneeling will mean nothing come a years time Snowflakes
Dom takes the journey south. Generous man.
Wanker
Shocking
Is he white?
And this is news...
Damn right too DominicRaab 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Not for God. The Heathen.
Raab's a massive racist, quelle surprise
No one cares about this ‘charlatan’! He has no respect and neither do the rags that print non stories! That’s why no one buys their rubbish
Oh, good for him.
Well his lot lied to the Queen so is he talking pish?
Or clean my car or dog
Or a take a knee to the bollocks?
The man is a freak
Normally that's the wife's area of expertise? No?
Absolutely correct.
first and foremost he kneels before cummings like the rest of the cabinet bootlickers.
And to give BJ a BJ!!
Breaking News ? Have you run out of proper news ?
Or to Cummings. He can’t reach if he’s stood up
is this breaking news?
Absolutely well said
Well done Dominic .....
Bloody right too, well done that man . Reflects the views of most of us.
Raab is the perfect example of white privilage.
Not surprising from a privileged white man DominicRaab who has never experienced racism
I do like him
I am imagining it now
Well said Dom
how is that breaking news?
So spooky, as some of the only people I would not take a knee for are the Queen and the Conservatives.
Will someone PLEASE kick him in the stones? See if he takes a knee then!
Kneeling to an unelected person in privileged position purely by fluke if birth is subservient antiquated nonsense. By all means extend courtesy but no more and no less than any other human. All people are born equal, end of.
A real man! Brilliant stateman!
Probably better him not saying anything.
And tie his shoes? In all seriousness how awful as a person to be so closed minded to not be open to change your views and show those that have been disrespect for hundreds of years a little bit if solidarity and respect in the path of equality.
Personal Choice
good!
Good on him same as most honourable people out here. I would add to that though, to have a picture taken of a fish I caught 👍
Has he ever got anything right in his whole tenure?
This isn't headline breaking news.
How does he tie his shoelaces?
KingofShirgar
Does anyone actually care? He's like a character from the Wizard of Oz: no heart, no brain, no courage.
Bit kinky. The wife bit.
Agreed !
Great leadership there from DominicRaab, he could have set a positive example instead he gives succour to racists and continues with the Tory mission to divide the nation.
Dirty bastard
And Dom , he forgot that bit.
Because he is a massive racist.
A this joker is foreign secretary BlackLivesMatter
It's all bloody nonsense.
That numpty probably couldn't find his knee
DominicRaab
The conservatives ladies and gentlemen. It’s not even a surprise really is it? ToriesLiePeopleDie ToriesEnemyOfThePeople toriesout BlackLivesMatter
Kneel is a sign of submission so wrong thing in so many ways.
Poor twit!
Bootlicker
It's not really breaking news is it - I have personally explained why I think taking the knee is a good and positive thing to do but it is for people to choose how to respond. Not adopting a symbol does not make you against a cause
Good
No shit.
So would I
Is a racist ☝🏻🤬
I wouldn’t kneel either. It doesn’t do anything
yep me too.
Well he has taken the arse for Cummings.
No surprise there then!
How sad... as a human
What a weird hill to die on.
