"The aim is to create, here in Britain, a really hostile environment for illegal immigrants." - Theresa May, 2010. "Stupid woman" is being kind.
The world is going mad, and the good old City of Brighton and Hove is leading the way.
And a fair few Southern one's too.

That's, unfortunately, a long way from being implemented. Until someone gets sent off for shouting in a referees face noting will happen. Players line up before games with the word respect and within 5 minutes are lying for a throw-in/corner/diving etc. Your post is yeas ahead of the game. Most of us thought that VAR would help remove this

Aye,,,,with the recent verbal abuse of players..its a pity that the debate wasn't widened to cover the abuse that players give the ref....its an 'emotional game' and its inevitable that tempers will flare...but perhaps they need to drag the line that gets crossed back a tad...a few seasons ago If I remember correctly they were going to clamp down on it...about a third of the way through that disappeared never to be seen again

This is a great interview with John Barnes about the media and generalisations. He is right. It isn't about football but society.
True. But this doesn’t mean we can’t do our bit in helping broader society. Whilst I don’t always agree with Barber, and like to poke fun at him, I totally agree with him on this issue.

What's wrong with implementing a rugby style - only the captain can talk to the referee unless a player is summoned by the ref for a "word"?

I see your point ..and in certain circumstances I think that should happen..although critical of Attwells performance in last Sunday’s match he did call over Dunk into some of his little ‘chats’

Everton are investigating its fans regarding a song about Yerry Mina regarding racial stereotypes.
The song suggests he has a part of his anatomy that is like the hose on a vacuum cleaner....
I think this is overkill personally and is amusing, but I might be wrong.

Football will evolve into this sort of thing where the only people who watch it are champers sipping toffs baying for blood in a very polite manner . Bloody yellow kit still though ffs .

I think many people seem to have ignored the word illegal in that statement, and have seen it as approval to be openly racist and hostile to any immigrant, 1st, 2nd, 3rd or of any generation. And I suppose, once that 'box' is open, it's just a short hop to intolerance of any differences.

She started on the Windrush immigrants who were legal and tried to make them illegal.

You say it like it's a bad thing.
Unless you're happy for people to be free to be racist, homophobic, xenophobic etc. in a public space without any consequences?

You may be right, but I’ve phoned that number and it works - stewards removed someone.
