Basic Freedom at risk

Aviation would be well advised to avoid 'taking a stance' on such issues. Blackpool Airport which should concern itself with providing a service to anyone wishing to use it, is letting 'politics' get in the way of its remit. If the Football industry chooses to embroil itself with politics then that's up to them, but as with everything there is ALWAYS more than one point of view, and if its
ok to say BLM then it is equally ok to say WLM, although a better slogan (in my point of view) would be All LM.
We must not allow the rubbish that has become Social Media to invade our basic freedom of choice and voice, and those who choose to play the 'Racist' card at every opportunity have to realise that not agreeing with everything they say IS NOT RACIST, it is the normal right of reply.
The whole world has come a long way since some of its darker times, and due to the advent of free press (and media) plus more democracy, we should applaud the improvements made in how we all live together, and not rise to the attempts of those who seek conflict of any sort.
It so happens that Blackpool Airport saw the new start of Aerial advertising back in 84/85 and there were plenty of 'interesting ' banners flown after that,many of which were either pro or anti Government, plus a very high profile GET STUFFED S,,,,,,L which flew past a party conference in Brighton.
