Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby

I saw the protests in London yesterday and thought it was a bit ironic to see so many people gathered in the same place during a pandemic, shouting #blacklivematter, when statistically people of ethnic minorities are more likely to die from Covid-19 in the UK.
