Why is Mike Tindall wearing a red ‘Make England Great Again’ hat?

The Six Nations rugby tournament began earlier this month, and on Saturday, the Princess of Wales made her first appearance to support her patronage, England’s rugby team. She was sent out specifically to distract from Prince Andrew’s arrest. Somewhat hilariously, Team England was badly beaten by the Irish team.

Well, Mike Tindall is a former pro rugby player and he’s married to Kate’s cousin-in-law. Tindall is also a very weird guy. He appeared on his rugby podcast this week, wearing a “Make England Great Again” baseball cap. What is going on here? This is one of the reasons why I roll my eyes at a lot of British political commentary about Donald Trump – like, yes, I am well aware that Trump is a hugely destructive political force and a fascist cult leader. But British politicos shouldn’t kid themselves – there are tons of ultra-right-wing British people who absolutely want their own MAGA-like cult in England. Tindall is a grown man in his 40s, he absolutely knows what he’s doing.

Additionally, Tindall is coming in for a lot of criticism for what he actually said on his podcast. He refused to give the Irish team due credit for Saturday’s win, and instead complained at length about the English team “giving” Ireland the game. A brute from the island of Salty Sore-Loserstan.

    Is he buddies with Trump now?

    • Booboochile says:

      Make England white again. Basically the same racist bull shit again. Phew Meghan and Harry really shook them, with their miscegination.

  2. Brassy Rebel says:

    Saying the quiet part out loud.

  3. HillaryIsAlwaysRight says:

    MAGA is a cult. A cancer that’s spreading around the world. Not surprised this guy is wearing this hat. You would think with all the other stuff the royal family has going on, these people would be careful with their PR right now. Zero brain cells.

  4. Lorelei says:

    This jackass continues to show us what a POS he is every time he steps outside or opens his mouth. It’s unsurprising that he’s one of the few people William seems to genuinely get along well with.

  5. Jes says:

    We kinda already knew tindall was a piece if sh*t. I feel like this further confirms my impression of this entire family as racist white trash who lucked into being born to some pillagers several centuries ago.

  6. Dee(2) says:

    Because he’s a lout? I really don’t have anything else. He absolutely knows what he’s doing, and he’s made his leanings pretty clear I would think. Him and that guy James Haskell that does that podcast with him, who I’m convinced was ” a friend of Harry and William” for a lot of stories back in the day. Especially the ones criticizing any sort of ” wokeness”.

    Oh, dear.

    Go Ireland! 🇮🇪

  8. windyriver says:

    Surely that should be “Rake England Great Again”? The family are such big environmentalists, after all.

    What a douche.

  9. Constance says:

    It is worse than a cult …it’s a lump of insecure self-loathing losers who need someone to fawn over and bend over for…a bully like Trump to point to others they can think are “lesser” than their own sorry-azz selves. Just like to dumbest kids to followed the school bully around. MAGA people are so stupid they don’t even know they are being screwed and laughed at even by the head poompah loser racist buffoon…

    “Very much not a racist family”. -Prince William

    They just get concerned about the races intermingling, don’t like anyone non white working with them just for them in a very limited capacity. Keep trying to strip titles and segregate the only non white royals they have and are now openly supporting and wearing the logo of racist, fascist cult leader from another country.

    These people are not only racist they are envious, ignorant, malice-filled predators.

  11. Jais says:

    Maybe he can go on the next visit to see Trump. And wear the hat. This is bold imo. MAGA is known for racism and he’s just proudly waving his own version. It ain’t subtle.

  12. ChillinginDC says:

    Did everyone in the UK say F Black people cause that’s the energy it’s been giving this week.

  13. QuiteContrary says:

    So he’s a racist wannabe fascist AND a sore loser? Glad he’s showing who he really is.

    England got its ass handed to it by Ireland. It was barely even a contest.

  14. mosshearted says:

    I bet he loves Trump and votes with Farage’s party. He seems like the type.

  15. Layla says:

    Ramadhaan has begun a week ago and since then there has been attacks on Muslims with either stabbing or arson attacks on Masjids. There was one last night in Manchester. And a few days ago, Manchester also saw another far right hate March where brown and black people were being racially abused and attacked.
    Since the riots last august, the royals, the figureheads of this country havent said a single word in support of our communities but they all love to use us and our people when they need a PR boost. The king and queen, mighty people that they are just recently visited an exhibition of art from the Arab nations (I refuse to use the colonial term of “middle east”) but God forbid they utter the word Palestine or show any sort of compassion to the communities and faiths C3 always pays lip service to

  16. Hypocrisy says:

    With everything going on currently with the files that were released he symbolically chooses show his support for Epstein clients like the orange stain and his uncle-in-law who was also in that client list. This was a blatant choice by a man who has been a walking rad flag for a very long time now.

  17. Inge says:

    I still remember this racist coward going off about Harry, but when H&M turned up for the Queens jubilee and H was chatting to Zara Mike was cowering in a corner

    Also hearing how much William likes him says enough

  18. Mel says:

    This man is painfully stupid, is NOT reading the “world” room and they need to pull him off any further interviews, so he does not continue to campaign for them to be abolished. This is exactly what he’s doing, but he’s so dumb. His wife is dumb as a rock also, if she knew he went out like that and didn’t pull him back.

  19. Sue says:

    But the BRF is definitely “not a racist family. ”
    The MAGA hat is the modern-day Confederate flag. It is a hate symbol. I don’t care that it says England instead of America. That is a MAGA hat. A MEGA hat.

  20. tamsin says:

    I believe that if Tindall were American, he would be full Maga and a Trump supporter. As a Canadian, I find it totally offensive that a married-in member of the Windsors is wearing this, and is in effect making a political statement.
