So, there's no evidence. Let's remember that next time somebody posts about the "Asian rape gangs" meme. It needs to be a case of dealing with the "Criminal rape gangs", regardless of the ethnicity of the criminals. Whoever is committing this type of crime, it is only a tiny fraction of the population, thankfully, so you'd hope the police and social services could do a better job trying to stamp it out as much as possible.

What do you mean there is no evidence??????????

Many many men of Pakistani origin are in prison for a start, all convicted of rape of many underage white girls.

Then we have the witness statements from people whose lives have been ruined. How would you feel if it was your daughter? Would you blithely say "there is no evidence?"

What more evidence would you like? It is a fact of life that Asian rape gangs have, and are still according to the Sky report and others, committing the most vile and disgusting acts on vulnerable white girls in a lot of our towns and cities.

Sorry, this just made me laugh. Presumably you have either not read or not understood the quote from the actual report (as opposed to the Independent's version).

And no doubt if fans are allowed in there will be no booing, just applause.

I wonder if that clapping might be rather slow and rhythmic. Or would that be banned too?

The objection to a 5 second kneel from some is truly mind boggling
It’s really got nothing to do with you at all.
If you can’t see the merit in it, keep quiet & ignore or don’t get upset when people call you out in return.

Excuse my asking Lord Stadium, Sir/Madam. ...... but who says it is nothing to do with me and by whose orders should I keep quiet or not get upset?

Have you been granted censorship rights over the Fishy?

I see in today's papers there is the result of a court case that has overturned (not before time) the attempt to shut everybody down who does not agree with everything woke. I think the pendulum has swung too far and now the balance needs to be addressed. Everyone has the right to free speech, just because it does not conform to the current mass hysteria is not for you to "call out."

An awful lot of people don't see the merit in it, as has been demonstrated in this thread.

Not all.
The options are all open to you as I stated.
It's the players decision surely??

Who mentioned shutting people down?
You can basically boo,comment or do whatever you like.
