    The weird thing is it's not even really a rainbow, is it? Unless the picture on twitter was colour distorted. It's half a rainbow at best.

    One of the last Umbro kits had little rainbow crosses on the shoulder, can't remember if there was a fuss or if people were just too distracted by England being shit.

    Not to mention the rainbow laces and armbands our captains have been wearing. The sooner the steampots realise it's just marketing, the better. Same goes for the retards in the gaming sphere assuming some consultancy firm has more sway over a game than the developers that create them.

    It's the transgender flag, isn't it? Something like that, anyway.

    Personally I'm more offended that they're being produced in Cambodian sweatshops by 8 year old with missing limbs before being flogged for £85.00.

    It's most definitely not the trans flag. By the looks of it, it's the bisexual flag with a hint of non-binary. They've got 15 flags in all, including one for straight allies.

    C'mon, Tumblr. You don't need flags for everything.

    The best part of it is there's no link to trans, LGBTQIA+, RL, or anything of the sort whatsoever. It's been explained as being a link to the 1966 training kits.

    One flagshagger must have incited all this with one wild tweet (would love if it was actually traced back) or something and then you have all the usuals like Lee Anderson and black cab drivers all jumping on it because it makes them relevant.

    Brav, they're charging £120+ for something costing them less than a tenner, use your voice for some good at least.

    The real travesty on the home kit is that collar which resembles a chunky Next cardigan favoured by dads.

    Russia and China vetoing a cease fire at the UN if contingent on hostages being released. Why don't they want the hostages released?

    They're pretty reliant in Iran for weapons at the moment though.

    Russia have kept their hands clean from supporting the genocide. China and them have consistently been on the right side here. Big up Algeria for vetoing too.

    Their explanation for it is based primarily around the resolution's wording and details. An immediate ceasefire is what needs to be called, not a fucking fake negotiation offer on behalf of Israel which also looks to clear the US and UK's tainted names. The fucking cheek of these cunts to u-turn and try and make out they're calling for a ceasefire now. And the state of this...

    Labour's handling of this has been legitimately baffling. Should Hamas be holding hostages? No. But neither should Israel and genocide is very much the nuclear option for supposedly trying to get them back.

    Yes, we support a ceasefire. Then we need to sit down and arrange the release of all hostages. That should be the position. It's piss easy and it's not as if Hamas or Israel care what he has to say anyway.

    Yeah but Israel has a right to self-defence. A ceasefire back then would have ONLY benefitted Hamas (not including the 30k lives obvs). Now that those lives have been wasted is when a ceasefire becomes a good idea.

    I thought it was still 3 hostages saved by IDF and 3 shot dead by them. Those numbers are what Keir must be pointing to when he suggests the 30K deaths were worthwhile.

    Geo-politics is disgusting and it's one of the rare positives of Social Media that it's going to get harder and harder for governments to get away with it. You can't shill for Israel when we can all see exactly what's happening.

    If you're busy convincing yourself that Russia and China are on 'the right side' rather than their own side, then you're just another gullible fuck really. Russia, who killed more Muslims in Syria and Chechenya than would even fill the contents of Bibi's wet dreams for a year. China, who put them all in concentration camps. The right side.

    My guy, the time for drawing parallels and indirect assessment is over. The UK and US have enabled genocide and must be held fully accountable.

    I'm not sure why the national flag needs a 'playful update'. The flag is the flag. If it doesn't fit the design, don't include it. Luckily we have an Iranian here to tell us to get over the perceived mis-use of important symbols.

    Exactly. Our generation were taught that it's something you always respect (ours not yours). Back in the day, if you hung one at the gate for a match you daren't even leave it out for nightfall.

    Where was the outrage on the other occasions that the kits had different-coloured flags on? Or was that before 'wokeness' was invented?

    Limp wrists about what? Nike tweaking the flag so it matches the colour scheme? Mini's have red Union Flag brake lights. The police have black and white union flags. Jamaican Brits often incorporate green into the mix.

    What's the problem?

    Remake the flag out of piss, shit and vomit and I'd potentially understand some of the outrage, but anger over this is just pathetic.

    People are very choosy about flags. They'll chuck the Ukraine one on every building but call defenders of our own 'flag shaggers'. Then you have our friends in the gulf who are very keen to wave the Palestinian one around when it suits them (but not to take any of its refugees) but any sighting of a rainbow flag is an insult to the prophet.

    Best to treat them as what they are, just journalistic shorthand.

    Using elements of the flag in designs is usually just a bit lame, but Nike giving it an 'update... to unite and inspire' implies that there is something wrong about the current one, which is a slightly odd position for a sportswear manufacturer to take.

    Two things about Kate Middleton. The woman has cancer the press and social media are scum it’s a private medical situation no one else’s fucking business and she shouldn’t have needed to make a statement on it. You’d imagine someone in the press has got hold of this and have told her either announce it or we will.

    Secondly now we will have to hear about her as if she is the only person who has ever had cancer. The press will now completely switch and it will be like she is sainted.

    Do we think that if Nike were in charge they would have they do a ‘playful update’ of the Top Ireland, Scotland or Wales flag?

    But on the other side who really gives a fuck apart from black cab drivers and Millwall/West Ham fans? The actual England football badge is on there, that hasn’t been changed.
