Why I HATED BBC's Dear England: The Woke Disaster That Cost England the Euros

The BBC’s new docudrama Dear England is meant to celebrate Gareth Southgate’s England team but it’s actually infuriating propaganda that puts race, kneeling, and virtue signalling front and centre while ignoring real football.In this no-holds-barred review, Reverend Dr Jamie Franklin explains why he loved the original stage play but couldn’t stand the TV version. From the cringeworthy dressing room lectures to Harry Kane’s moralising and the obsession with George Floyd, taking the knee and Black Lives Matter, this drama turns England’s football story into a condescending sermon on racism that England fans never asked for.Franklin argues that England got so close to winning major trophies not because of systemic racism but because the team spent more energy on political gestures than on the fine margins that win tournaments.If you’re sick of football being politicised, this is the rant you’ve been waiting for.JOIN US FOR IRREVEREND LIVE!🎟️ Tuesday 23rd June, 7pm – Holy Trinity Church, WinchesterLink: Tickets hereEmail the Show: [email protected] the Podcast & Get PerksYour support keeps Irreverend going and gets you early episodes, bonus Uncollared podcasts, monthly chats with Jamie & Nick Dixon, and more:Patreon → https://www.patreon.com/irreverendSubstack → https://irreverendpod.substack.com/Buy Me a Coffee → https://www.buymeacoffee.com/irreverendDirect donations or questions?
