    But they haven’t actually said anything racist. Whilst I’m 100% sure they are racist saying ‘white lives matter’ isn’t racist

    Fair enough. It’s a tricky one. There probably loads of Burnley fans who’ve posted ‘white lives matter’ online just like there’s loads of Barnsley fans who have. If you ban one do you have to ban all in the interests of fairness

    They've got the evidence through messages. They will be banned

    If they did, then Barnsley would be banning a few here too. ;)

    what happened with the plane was national news that reflected badly on the club.

    it’s not about what some people think, or what they post online, it’s about a bunch of Nobheads dragging a football club through the mud. The football club in return is within their rights to ban them.

    Exactly the same as racist chanting at a match; mostly it goes unreported, when it does get reported to the FA, the club get fined. When we do get fined, if the club can spot an individual to make an example of, then they get banned.

    NFA, Lancashire police say no crime was committed, I do think it was bad taste btw and a stupid thing to do, but racist, No

    This was orchestrated to be the same time as the players took the knee
    Racist yes. The organiser is a fan of Tommy Robinson and refused to apologise. No way Burnley shouldn't ban him.

    And there’s no agenda with black lives matter? Jesus wept! . As I’ve said in another post, the worlds gone mad. FWIW I don’t agree with any of it (protests, statues, racism) in this country, we aren’t sodding Americans living in America!

    Yes there is an agenda. To actually deal with racism rather than just pay lip service. Kick it out, show racism the red card hadnt really worked has it? Now the issue of racism is front and centre.

    And abolish the police, just great! That’s what the BLM movement want as well.

    Don’t be fooled by any of this protesting is all I’ll say further on this matter. I’ve no time for any of it tbh. People need to effing wake up and smell the coffee from all sides of this nonsense happening in this country. We are British not Americans.

    Regardless who he is a fan of, regardless he refused to apologise doesnt make him guilty, hence as I said NFA taken by Lancashire police, he may be racist but as far as the police go what he did wasnt deemed to be so, and if it was their is no way the police would not have charged him, I am not condoning whatsoever what he did btw

    I agree in principle to the BLM, but I watched an interview by the head of BLM in the states, wow, defund the police, no stop and search letting Black criminals go, wow, very dangerous

    But BLM here doesn't have that. Police funding is totally different in America.

    I’m afraid they do RH. Police abolishment anyhow.

    It wasn't deemed illegal (not the same as not being racist).

    Let's keep it factual, there's no law against being racist. In the same way there's no law against being any other kind of TW@ ergo our Tommeh is allowed to walk the streets as are his followers.

    The specific law that could have been broken is 'inciting racial hatred' and the incident is far from that.

    However - that doesn't mean that his actions were simply 'OK', just because there's no law against it. And Burnley will likely ban him, in the same way we keep banning fans for racism (not for breaking the law)

    DR, I agree with you entirely, like I said the message on the plane wasnt in the eyes of the law deemed illegal, a very pathetic thing to do though

    Almost nobody is talking about abolishing the police. You right wingers have hooked onto this to blurt out ludicrous scare stories of no police and anarchy. People aren't as daft as you though and actually read what the debate is about. One city in America replaced and rebuilt their police. Others may look at the same. Defunding doesn't mean abolish either, just moving some resources to places that will tackle problems more effectively.
    You crack on with your scaremongering though.
