Boris Johnson says he would not take the knee: 'I don't believe in gestures'

I have, so i'm going to try to be as articulate as i can be. Writing isn't my strongest skill.

The way i see his prospective, i firmly believe Boris is a very clever man who knows how to play the public Whilst he is arguing that he rather do something of substance for the movement with is to appease those people on the centre right who aren't racist. Those who read the Independant and may listen to radio. However, this type reporting won't be published on paper like Dailymail etc and if the are they won't too much attention. If he took the 'knee' he would be photographed and it would be wildly published and headline news. This would a piss off a huge chunk of Tory voters and Trump. For me him not taking the knee is a very politcal move as to not piss of his voters or Trump.

I do genuinely think he has displayed racial bias and is a bit racist.
