You might be right. But when you have a PM who thinks it perfectly acceptable to use derogatory terms to describe non-white people enlightenment isn’t going to happen anytime soon.

Bless. You have used pretty much every old-duffer cliche in the book tonight.

You add something major to the point.
It's easy to talk of a feral underclass with no values and standards yet ignore the feral elite who feed this.
If society wants to erect a virtual scaffold for the latest naive and ignorant embryo then it might be better served to focus on those who should know better.
But it doesn't- well not enough. Sad times.
And you've just identified as woke. Bless.
Do you really believe that the civil rights movements in the sixties and seventies weren't supported by white kids too? If so, you are well and truly ignorant.

Youth offenders do not have their names published by law.
Stan Colleymore was abused by a fan a few years ago and he said he would drop the charges if the fan apologised face to face.

He made a death threat. It's a bit more than a stupid comment.

I think you'll find that the national front and similar organisations have always been able to find words that split the residents of the UK into "white British" and "the rest, they all look the same to us". BAME could have been dreamed up by the national front - why oh why do we want a word/acronym that spells out that if you aren't white British, you're all the same?
Can't they even see the idiocy of the recent campaign to ensure that more people of Chinese, Indian, Jewish, and even Irish origin become managers in the PL and FL? This assumption that Chinese and American Indian and Mayan and Inuit and Israeli and Arab and Japanese and African and Caribbean and Hawaiian and Maori and perhaps even Hispanic are all the same because they aren't white - it stinks. It needs to be put right.

' Sorry, page not found ' when click on link, so can't see what happened.
The comments were loathsome. Shocking.
I wonder if the boy who posted those comments was acting more out of bravado and attention seeking, rather than because he is racist? 12yo boys are prone to that. What if, as a child, he didn't really understand the real meaning of what he was saying but knew the impact it would have?
If he was motivated by getting a reaction rather than because he is a racist, how should we deal with him?

I know that, but the other poster was suggesting a public apology not a one to one private apology, try and read what was written A public apology where everyone would see him and his identity would be spread by the social media mob is entirely different. Its a bizarre suggestion.
My take is he should be dealt with according to the law; he has committed a crime after all. Otherwise how will he learn that breaking the law comes with consequences? Like any child he needs to know where the boundaries are. I’m also of the view that he should have the opportunity to redeem himself and if he chooses this path this incident should not affect him in the future; there is provision within the system to have any criminal record he might receive cleared. Unfortunately, the bigger problem he now has is his name is on the internet and forever linked to this incident. I’m not sure how this will play out.

Despite his young age, I feel this is a police matter due to the seriousness of the comments.
The best outcome would be for him to attend a race awareness course.
His name shouldn't be held on the criminal justice database after that

The abusive tweet is still on Wifried Zaha's timeline.
It was the Independent newspaper who reported the arrest by West Midlands police.

Police need to have a word with the parents.
I'm really not into harsh punishments and retribution where children are concerned. They need to be educated.
