Just a reminder that racism in this country is nothing compared to in Europe.

Sorry had to ask:

What is insane:
The racism? The fact that tax payer money was spent to seek & find the harasser?
Or the fact that Zaha is a snowflake and probably has been subjected to much much worse by his teammates?

Just a reminder that you do NOT have freedom of speech outside of the US. Many would argue that mindset is coming to the USA as well.

Orwell knew his people so well. Big Brother’s IngSoc (English Socialism) has taken over, and the oppression and thought policing has already begun.

It’s a lot safer to go after twitterites than acid knife wielding Muzzies.

One of the tweets is from Roger Bennett who is a woke Englishman who covers soccer for NBC. He had a good twitter tantrum over the travel ban a few years ago.

They arrested a 12 year old, instead of just asking his parents to give him a stern lecture. England is insane. What’s scary is that we’re only slightly saner and may be heading to the same asylum in a few years.

The 12 year old boy submitted on Instagram an old photo of a KKK march to Crystal Palace player Zaha (who is from Ivory Coast).

The kid is an Aston Villa fan.
