Amazing how many people don't get that free speech works both ways. Free speech means that other people are free to point out why your opinions are wrong, or abusive.

I see the Culture Secretary and PM have regaled us this evening with their considered opinions on Ollie Robinson's ban. Immediately after a Tory MP makes a splash over taking a knee.

As I implied in the OP, this is not coincidence. It will be non-stop.

out of interest what punishment should he get? Taking into account he was 18/19 and quite a few years ago?

Bpool.

Not one that is influenced by Culture War politicians.

It is a very difficult issue.

On the one hand he was a stupid and naive kid.

On the other hand, he's now representing his country and just drawing a veil over his earlier comments is not acceptable.

There's a really fine line to walk here. But the Culture Secretary and PM aren't interested in that.

Not just Robinson now. ECB have delved into a few more players early years on Twitter & found some unsavoury content.

Not sure if anyone saw it but Micheal Holding nailed it yesterday.
