🏉 “I support the fight against racism for sure. Would I necessarily take the knee? Realistically I don’t generally buy into the actual organisation of Black Lives Matter...So I would respect [the stance against] racism in my own way'

Mike Tindall is telling me about the time, early on in his career, that he played a game of rugby with a set of broken ribs. “When I started in 1997,” he says, “I was getting paid £10,000 a year. I was straight out of school and I would have done anything to get on that pitch because there might be a match bonus. Another time I played with a separated AC [a dislocated shoulder]. Do you want me to tell you the worst thing about those broken ribs? No, I shouldn’t...

I wouldnt take the knee eithere .I wouldnt get back up lol.

His ignorance is breathtaking.

Bravo, Mr miketindall13 Well said, sir. Great piece.

Well now we start to have an idea of who in the very much not racist family actually supported Meghan. White people in general say they don’t support racism but do little to show actual allyship. They thought that the press was rough but didn’t see racism because they can’t

ChrisRGollop So let others do it their way...

Leaders from commonwealth countries really need to wake up. The RF needs these countries to stay relevant and yet they show nothing but disdain for black people. The UK chose to leave the EU so Ireland, Scotland and CW countries has the right to leave the UK as well.

Qui est cet homme? Ah oui l'homme a tout faire des Cambitch et aussi un trompeur de femme comme les autres de cette famille .....🤭🤭🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣

If it was left for ya'll to 'end racism' you'd still have your empire & America & the rest of them will still have their slaves.

I don’t know how many times and ways, does the RF tell their black subjects and commonwealth countries, that they mean little to them.

“I’m against racism, I even met one of them once, I just don’t want to do anything about racism”

Now we know who one of the conversations where with about Archie's skin colour, they are all going to reveal themselves

STFU Shrek

JulianFitness1 Taking the knee is nothing to do with BLM. It started back with the Martin luther king movement. Some people have no idea and no interest in getting any idea.

Who asked this poor man's version of Ross Kemp to speak on black people's business. Sit in your in-laws house and stay out of politics.

How do you support the fight against racism? What steps do you take? Yet another example of the RoyalFamily being completely out of touch, out of step and certainly far from welcoming to anyone not white. The statement and movement of taking a knee did not start from BLM

BaronessBruck Voice of reason.

Did he inform the Queen prior to publication? He should have asked for permission, because the Queen is the Head of the Commonwealth! I think, that this column harms her reputation as the Head of Commonwealth!

I didn’t expect England to take the knee for 92 minutes.

He should confirm or deny, that Princess Anne is the one, who asked Harry for his son‘s potential skin colour!

I want racism to end..... but we constantly have it pushed in our faces with BLM and 90% adverts with black folks in.... Even Amazon TV have a section called 'BLACK CINEMA'.... we're being forced on our knee's by the worlds racists.... and it's not us tindle!

They are indeed racist.

Not standing against racism is very on brand with this 'not a racist family'. abolishthemonarchy

The real worry is what is the plan to rebuild Britain after Covid a lot of people are on their knees and need to be lifted-up with concrete proposals not token policies!

Jeeez, it’s getting boring now, taking the knee has nothing to do with BLM organisation. You can disagree with taking the knee but don’t match it to the org, quite simple. It’s like saying all Brexiteers are racists.

How very disappointing.

Nigerian force are is picking and killing peoples both children, young and old men in Biafra Land every single day people are missing in numbers StopIgboGenocide StopBiafraGenocide EndNigeriaNowToSaveLives

BaronessBruck Il est beaucoup plus impliqué dans la lutte contre le RACISME que Meghan Markle 😲

Zero brain. Numpty.

That’s all you got for your anti woke daily column ?

We always knew that family was racist. This is confirmation. Glad that Meghan And Harry are away from that toxic, abusive family.

So..... in other words, he ain't shit and isn't doing shit. Got it. Because even without taking a knee, you come out in support of your cousin in law... but I get it... gotta keep that paycheck, tax breaks, housing, and govt benefits.

Meghan told us only 2% of the royal family racist behavior

🤮🤮🤮

Who is he? 🤷🏾‍♀️

I agree 💯 👍👍👍

His mother-in-law is a symbol of white supremacy so of course he wouldn't. Plus he's rich thanks to her.

'I don’t generally buy into the actual organisation of Black Lives Matter'... Stop with the semantics, Black Lives Matter is a fact, one that is not reflected in society which is why the movement even exists. That fence must be uncomfortable.

Dude is also grifting for the Rugby Union patronage. Lmao. He knows whoever is going to be picked has to align with the master’s value system. Trash talk black people and you get it. 🙄

“I support the fight against racism for sure.' Supporting 'anti-racism' is racism. It's part of the Maoist/fascist neo-Marxist agenda. miketindall13 is a racist.

But the knee WASN’T a BLM invention - kapernick adopted it from a firmer marine who suggested it as a protest instead of sitting during the anthem as taking a knee by marines on patrol is a sign of respect at a sight where a comrade has fallen in battle.

Mother in law dearest will be very impressed

So tired of these Royals !! White world !!! Live in a Bubble . One day soon their day is coming

the fuck

Mike Tindall.. .A soulless beast

In what way is Mike Tindall supporting the fight against racism? Intrigued what 'his own way' is.... We have never heard him public speak out on the subject

Ouch! what a stance! Shoudn’t he stay neutral? We all remember when the US NFL players took the knee before the game…

he said all that to say he really doesn't want it to end because it benefits him and he does not care about people that affected by it.

He could have just kept his mouth shut but nah couldn't pass up the opportunity to look like a racist.

A thrash human being.

I saw this on my travels on twitter streets, and I thought torygraph and tindal would like to see it.

BLM is a movement not an organization for one thing. I commend H he has an open mind for understanding and change. When it comes to racial things the RF need to say no comment and stay out of. They all look out of touch without having any knowledge or care. Go learn history Mike

In his own way as a white man? LOL

'I would respect the stance against racism in my own way' 🤡🤡😂😂 ... You own way sir ? Really ? Because obviously You don't know nothing about what POC are going thru....

He took a lot of head knocks

Thank God Harry removed his family away from there racists
