Laurence Fox slams ‘taking the knee’ says he hopes England loses at the Euros

Laurence Fox today said he hoped England would lose in the first round of the Euros as he criticised footballers for taking the knee.

Fox slammed ‘millionaire woke babies protesting inequality on £200,000 a week’ after portions of the crowd jeered while players knelt before a friendly against Romania on Sunday at Middlesbrough’s Riverside Stadium.

After fans booed the controversial act ahead of Wednesday’s win over Austria, manager Gareth Southgate urged fans to support players making the gesture against discrimination, but this failed to convince some sections of the crowd who continued to jeer at the second England warm-up game.

Southgate has said the players had explained so many times that the gesture did not represent some of the more extreme views of the Black Lives Matter group that those choosing to ignore that are doing so deliberately.

‘Tell me a single thing to moderate my thinking? Millionaire woke babies protesting inequality on two hundred grand a week.

‘We deserve everything that is coming. Weak men. Weak.

‘My prayers are with Croatia, The Czech Republic and Scotland. Knock these woke English babies out.

‘My whole life I’ve wanted England to win at football.

‘From a sofa with glandular fever during Italia 90 and Salvatore Schillaci, to a traffic jam in west London in an overheating mini listening to England beat Holland 4-1 in 96. Tw*tter rant over.’
